"The Monkees in Paris"
According to Andrew Sandoval's The Monkees: The Day-by-Day Story of the 60s TV Pop Sensation, "The Monkees in Paris" - the fifty-fourth episode of The Monkees series (and the twenty-second of the second season) - was broadcast fifty years ago to-day (19 February 1968). It was written and directed by Robert Rafelson, and featured the songs "Love Is Only Sleeping," "Don't Call on Me," "Star Collector," and "Goin' Down." Sandoval describes the plot as: "The group, bored with the grind of their television show, flee to Paris for some freeform frolics."
