"Monkees in Manhattan"
According to Andrew Sandoval's The Monkees: The Day-by-Day Story of the 60s TV Pop Sensation, "Monkees in Manhattan" - the thirtieth episode of The Monkees series - was broadcast fifty years ago to-day (10 April 1967). It was written by Gerald Gardner and Dee Caruso, directed by Russell Mayberry, and featured the songs "The Girl I Knew Somewhere," "Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow)," and "Words." Sandoval describes the plot as: "At the urging of a would-be producer The Monkees hit the Big Apple to star in his rock'n'roll musical."
