Daring to show to new fans?

Which episode(s) would you reveal to unsuspecting newly-found fans?

Mine might include:

Season 1:
----------
Monkee vs Machine (the boys try to get hired by a company that is automating jobs)

Captain Crocodile (the band appears on a kids' show and usurp the host in popularity)

Monkees A La Mode (the group is selected as a typical clean cut young men)

Alias Mickey Dolenz (the police use Mickey to capture his doppelganger, a gangster)

Monkees Get Out More Dirt (all 4 boys fall for the owner of a laundromat (Julie Newmar!))



If you like those, try:

I've Got a Little Song Here (Mike is fleeced by phony music publisher)

Dance, Monkee, Dance (the group signs up for dance lessons, not realizing the contract signed is for life)

The Spy Who Came in from the Cool (David buys a set of maracas containing microfilm)




Season 2:
----------
Monkee Mayor (Mike runs for office to try to beat a corrupt politician)

Hillbilly Honeymoon (the group get stuck in the middle of a blood feud; great parody of "The Beverly Hillbillies" as well)

The Devil and Peter Tork (Peter sells his soul)

Fairy Tale (A pantomime, Peter wants to rescue a princess (dual role by Mike Nesmith!)

The Frodis Caper (an evil wizard is using television to control peoples' minds)


If you like those, try:

Art for Monkees' Sake - Peter learns how to paint and two guards at the museum admire his skills, and want him to make a copy of paintings so they can steal the originals

The Picture Frame (the boys are framed for a robbery, made via the pretense of the gangsters filming a movie and using them as patsies)

The Monkees' Christmas Show - the group tries to instill the xmas spirit into a cynical boy (Butch Patrick)

The Monkees Watch their Feet (a 'documentary' of invading aliens)

The Monkees' Paw (the group gets a paw offering a wish on each finger; but they do not realize the wishes are cursed...)

Some Like it Lukewarm (Davy dresses up as a girl so the band can enter in a mixed-gender band... meanwhile, another band (all-girl) has one of the girls dressing up as a boy. Guess who fall in love with each other? :) )
