Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork with Lester Sill who was the music supervisor for the Monkees at Colgem Records on the set of the Frodis Caper in 1967, I think its from Andrew Sandoval's updated version of the Monkees Day By Day.

A little Monkee memory to share on the anniversary of the airing of the last episode (March 25, 1968)-

The first time I saw The Frodis Caper was during a TV marathon after Davy died. I had stayed up all night watching the entire series from the start. I was building up for hours to see the last episode for the first time and wondering how they would end the whole thing: a huge epic romp or the four of them talking to the camera, etc. When Tim Buckley came out and started playing with None of the Monkees on screen, I was LIVID. Now I can’t imagine a better way to end the show but to pass the torch on to another undiscovered ground-breaker.

Made this groovy Frodis Caper wallpaper instead of being productive. Whoops!

On this day in 1968, the last episode of the Monkees “Mijacogeo” (aka The Frodis Caper)” aired on NBC. It was directed by Micky Dolenz. Here are some behind the scenes photos!

Micky: Oh man, if we could only get in touch with somebody...

Mike: How about Peter?

Micky: No, he's at the pad.

Mike: I... Mental telepathy!

Davy: Oh, oh, you mean that psychedelic stuff?

Mike: Yeay, all the groups are doing it, you know, psycho jello.
