"Monkees Get Out More Dirt"

According to Andrew Sandoval's The Monkees: The Day-by-Day Story of the 60s TV Pop Sensation, "Monkees Get Out More Dirt" - the twenty-ninth episode of The Monkees series - was broadcast fifty years ago to-day (3 April 1967).  It was written by Gerald Gardner and Dee Caruso, directed by Gerald Shepard, and featured the song "The Girl I Knew Somewhere."  Sandoval describes the plot as: "A soap opera develops when Mike, Micky, Davy, and Peter all fall for the same woman, a luscious laundromat owner (played by Julie Newmar)."
