"Monkees a la Mode"

According to Andrew Sandoval's The Monkees: The Day-by-Day Story of the 60s TV Pop Sensation, "Monkees a la Mode" - the twenty-fourth episode of The Monkees series - was broadcast fifty years ago to-day (27 February 1967).  It was written by Gerald Gardner and Dee Caruso, directed by Alex Singer, and featured the songs "Laugh" and "You Just May Be the One."  Sandoval describes the plot as: "A haughty style rag selects the group as 'the typical young Americans of the year.'"
