According to Andrew Sandoval's The Monkees: The Day-by-Day Story of the 60s TV Pop Sensation, "I Was a Teenage Monster" - the eighteenth episode of The Monkees series - was broadcast fifty years ago to-day (16 January 1967). It was written by Gerald Gardner, Dee Caruso, and Dave Evans, directed by Sidney Miller, and featured the song "Your Auntie Grizelda." Sandoval describes the plot as: "When a mad scientist creates a mod monster he hires The Monkees to make him rock'n'roll."
