"Mijacogeo (The Frodis Caper)"
According to Andrew Sandoval's The Monkees: The Day-by-Day Story of the 60s TV Pop Sensation, "Mijacogeo (The Frodis Caper)" - the fifty-eighth and last episode of The Monkees series (and the twenty-sixth of the second season) - was broadcast fifty years ago to-day (25 March 1968). It was written by Micky Dolenz, Dave Evans, and Jon Anderson, directed by Micky Dolenz, and featured the songs "Zor and Zam" and "Song of the Siren" (performed by Tim Buckley). Sandoval describes the plot as: "The group battle with the evil Wizard Glick (Rip Taylor) who plans to take over the world through the hypnotic spell of television."
