According to Andrew Sandoval's The Monkees: The Day-by-Day Story of the 60s TV Pop Sensation, "Monkee Vs. Machine" - the third episode of The Monkees series - was broadcast fifty years ago to-day (26 September 1966). It was written by David Panich, directed by Robert Rafelson, and featured the songs "Last Train to Clarksville" and "Saturday's Child." Sandoval describes the plot as: "Stan Freberg stars as a headstrong company man, Daggart, who plans to automate an old-fashioned toy company."
