Everyone's favorite fab faux group, The Monkees, aired their first episode September 12, 1966 with the farce Royal Flush. The "Prefab Four" consisted of Peter Tork, Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones and Michael Nesmith. The show has been described as being about a band that wants to be the Beatles but it never happens.
The Monkees became a band in their own right, playing instruments and singing their songs. They were also one of the most successful bands in the 1960s and have sold more than 75 million albums world-wide, making them one of the most successful bands of all time!
Unfortunately, Davy Jones passed away in 2012 but the other three still perform together.
