The Monkees

When the television show premiered in 1966, no one could have guessed the phenomenon it would become.

The Monkees are reportedly celebrating their 50th anniversary with a new album, Good Times, scheduled to arrive in June.

Result: A frustrated guitarist, a disappointed band and a bewildered and confused audience.

The Monkees have booked a two-week tour for May and June.

One more time! With the success, both critical and commercial, of last fall's mini tour, the Monkees are coming to your town again this summer.

In 1967, The Monkees were in the middle of a brief but successful TV show. At the same time, their music sales were quickly starting to outpace the viewership of the show.

Happy 68th birthday (March 8) to Micky Dolenz, the singer-drummer of the group The Monkees. Most of us remember him most fondly from the Monkees television series which aired from September 1966 to March 1968. In the years since the series ended, Dolenz and other members of the group have revealed things about the show including the comparison of The Monkees to The Beatles.
