A mostly accurate account of the history of The Monkees musical journey. Many eras of their music are over-looked but surprisingly, eras often over-looked are talked about. Of course the Donnie Kirshner debacle is covered with varying stories between the innocent and guilty. Sadly not much is said about the 1969 years as per usual. Yet, the 1976 10th Anniversary of 50% of The Monkees with the brainstorm that was, "Dolenz, Jones, Boyce & Hart" is covered. Being this documentary was completed in 2000, The Monkees 30th Reunion and recording of "Justus" is covered. What is great about this documentary is it contains all new interview footage of Dolenz & Tork. Interview footage of Nesmith & Jones is borrowed from the "Disney/Delilah" documentary "Hey, Hey "We're The Monkees" but in many cases, especially with Nesmith
Glen's guests are Jeannie C. Riley, Mike Nesmith, Davy Jones and Micky Dolenz from "The Monkees" and John Wayne in a cameo appearance. Musical Highlights: Jeannie C Riley sings "The Girl Most Likely". Mike, Davy & Micky perform a medley of "Last Train To Clarksville", "I'm A Believer", and "Salesman". Micky played drums, Davy the bass, and Mike the guitar. They also lip-synched their upcoming single, "Tear Drop City". Glen sings "Ann", "Fate of Man", "By the Time I Get to Phoenix", "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay", and "Roll in My Sweet Baby's Arms". Comedy: Spoofing Jeannie's hit, Pat Paulsen plays a school principal, and Glen and Jeannie are concerned parents. Pat performs comedy vignettes tied to the song "It Was a Very Good Year". The finale salutes telephones.

The Monkees dropped their first-ever Christmas album in early October, and they’ve just released a video for the Andy Partridge-penned tune “Unwrap You At Christmas” to promote it. It shows the group as figures in a comic strip created by illustrator Michael Allred. Old school fans of the group will recognize elements from their Sixties television sitcom, including their mannequin Mr. Schneider and the Jiffy IQ Test that said Peter Tork had “total stupidity.”
Official lyric video for The Monkees - "What Would Santa Do". CHRISTMAS PARTY, the first holiday album by The Monkees.
The vast majority of the new Monkees holiday album Christmas Party was produced by Adam Schlesinger of Fountains of Wayne, but on the two tracks where Michael Nesmith sings lead (“The Christmas Song” and “Snowfall”) he instead worked with his sons Christian and Jonathan. Here’s a new animated video for “The Christmas Song” that was directed by Jonathan Nesmith, though the song itself was produced by Christian. The video takes place in the surreal, psychedelic world of the Monkees TV show at Christmas time, complete with their mascot Mr. Schneider wearing a Santa hat, Davy Jones dodging kisses under a mistletoe and the four members of the group wrapping up presents while dressed as elves. It’s bookended by Nesmith and Micky Dolenz chatting about the holiday and taking a boat ride through the cartoon world.
