Tonight's MF&TVV Updates
Mood:  happy
Now Playing: NCIS on USA

Bless and thank you, Andrew P. Sandoval!!! LaughingCoolSmileWink

After spending many years chasing through The Web like a flu-ridden bloodhound searching for the missing Screen Gems production numbers to the remaining 27 episodes of The Monkees, I finally resorted to doing what I now severely regret not doing sooner: turn to MonkeeTrekkie Andy Sandoval for assistance. He has delivered in spades! Other portions of the site to greatly benefit from this spectacular change are THE MONKEES GO APE FOR BATMAN and MONKEES EPISODE PRODUCTION NUMBERS.

However, a conflict has arisen: it seems that both “One Man Shy” (a.k.a. "Peter And The Debutante") and "Mijacogeo" (a.k.a. "The Frodis Caper") apparently have the exact same production number: 4722. Hopefully this will be resolved soon.

Today's MF&TVV Updates
Now Playing: Get Smart - Season 3 on my DVR

Updated a Production Note to "The Picture Frame" (a.k.a. "The Bank Robbery"); THE MONKEES GO APE FOR BATMAN also benefits from this tidbit.

Also put up a link to the tribute site of director David Winters in "A Coffin Too Frequent" and "The Monkees Blow Their Minds", the very episodes of The Monkees he directed.

Upon noticing a Trivia Note was inadvertently included amongst the Guest Cast Notes in “Don't Look A Gift Horse In The Mouth”, it was put back into the Trivia Notes column where it belonged.
