"The Picture Frame" and "Hitting the High Seas"
A couple days ago, I was thinking about "The Picture Frame," and I realized that one of the jokes is reused in "Hitting the High Seas." In "The Picture Frame," after the Monkees unwittingly rob a bank, they return to the studio and run into Peter, who explains his absence, saying, "I went to stage one at two o'clock instead of stage two at one." This same reversal of numbers is in "Hitting the High Seas." After Reynolds hires Micky, Peter, and Davy to be sailors, he tells them, "Six in the mornin', pier three," after which Davy incorrectly repeats, "Three o'clock, pier six." Probably not coincidentally, both episodes were written by Jack Winter.
