"Monkees Blow Their Minds"

According to Andrew Sandoval's The Monkees: The Day-by-Day Story of the 60s TV Pop Sensation, "Monkees Blow Their Minds" - the fifty-seventh episode of The Monkees series (and the twenty-fifth of the second season) - was broadcast fifty years ago to-day (11 March 1968).  It was written by Peter Meyerson, directed by David Winters, and featured the songs "Valleri," "Gonna Buy Me a Dog" (instrumental mix), and "Daily Nightly."  Sandoval describes the plot as: "Peter is suffering from writers' block and seeks help from a manipulative mentalist."
