"Monkees at the Circus"

According to Andrew Sandoval's The Monkees: The Day-by-Day Story of the 60s TV Pop Sensation, "Monkees at the Circus" - the twenty-second episode of The Monkees series - was broadcast fifty years ago to-day (13 February 1967, incidentally Peter Tork's twenty-fifth birthday).  It was written by Dave Panich, directed by Bruce Kessler, and featured the songs "She" and "Sometime in the Morning."  Sandoval describes the plot as: "When an old-fashioned circus company faces extinction The Monkees step in to save the day."
