According to Andrew Sandoval's The Monkees: The Day-by-Day Story of the 60s TV Pop Sensation, "Don't Look a Gift Horse in the Mouth" - the eighth episode of The Monkees series - was broadcast fifty years ago to-day (31 October 1966). It was written by Dave Evans, directed by Robert Rafelson, and featured the songs "Papa Gene's Blues" and "All the King's Horses." Sandoval describes the plot as: "The Monkees are saddled with the responsibility of babysitting a real live horse."
