"Captain Crocodile"

According to Andrew Sandoval's The Monkees: The Day-by-Day Story of the 60s TV Pop Sensation, "Captain Crocodile" - the twenty-third episode of The Monkees series - was broadcast fifty years ago to-day (20 February 1967).  It was written by Gerald Gardner, Dee Caruso, Peter Meyerson, and Robert Schlitt, directed by James Frawley, and featured the songs "Valleri" and "Your Auntie Grizelda."  Sandoval describes the plot as: "The Monkees find themselves at odds with an egomaniacal children's show host, Captain Crocodile."
