The Monkees
1966-1968 | Comedy | USA | Created by Bob Rafelson and Bert Schneider
Overview
Cast as a band, then became a real one: a manufactured answer to the Beatles that won an Emmy for comedy and then fought for and won creative control of its records. Daydream Believer and Last Train to Clarksville topped charts. Two seasons, then Head, a surreal film. Rafelson and Schneider went on to make Five Easy Pieces. The prefab four with genuine influence on every boy band after.
