According to Andrew Sandoval's The Monkees: The Day-by-Day Story of the 60s TV Pop Sensation, "Monkees a la Carte" - the eleventh episode of The Monkees series - was broadcast fifty years ago to-day (21 November 1966). It was written by Gerald Gardner, Dee Caruso, and Bernie Orenstein, directed by James Frawley, and featured the songs "(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone" and "She." Sandoval describes the plot as: "The Monkees monkey with a mobster's plot to take over a string of West Coast restaurants."
