September 6, 2026
This coming Pleasant Valley Saturday marks 6
full decades to the day The Monkees television series premiered at 7:30, Monday evening, September 12, 1966, on NBC television. Pop culture as we knew it
was changed forever. The rest, as they say, was hysterical.
And to honor 60 Revolutions Per Monkee, The Featured Episode Of The Monkees this week is, appropriately, the very first
to air that very day, the Emmy-winning
"The Royal Flush" (prod. #4701).
Pretty much like celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the show back in this site's journey on Tripod between 2006 and 2008, this very Pleasant Valley Sunday, and every Pleasant Valley Sunday for the next couple of years, will see
The Monkees Film & TV Vault showcasing each Monkees episode one by one to honor its Diamond Anniversary very slowly over 2 years
representing the full original run,
all 58 of them, right down to the original summer network repeets, even through The Monkees Film & TV Vault's ensuing 30th Anniversary year in 2027. Except unlike before, all holiday-themed pages (Halloween, Christmas, etc.)
won't be put on hold; they will be used as always, as the 60th anniversary of each and every episode will continue to be observed.
So here's to 60 Revolutions Per Monkee...and here's to 60 more. And 60 more after that.
