Comments:
Looking to cash in on Beatlesmania, music producers cast two actors and two musicians as The Monkees. The TV series promoted their records (a 'music video' in each episode) and tour. The Monkees were popular for a short time and have managed to live on for years thanks to their continued notoriety.
