"THE
MONKEES"

1966-1968
FIRST SEASON GUEST STARS!

Vocal and comedic
genius Stan Freberg as the hard-hearted Mr.
Daggart in "Monkee vs. Machine", one of
the very best episodes!
|
|

The gent on the left is
off-beat character actor Severn Darden, one of
the brainiacs behind the development of Second
City.
|
|

Remember this tough
guy? (No, the one standing up without
the glasses.) That's "Mel Sharples"
himself from "Alice", Vic Tayback, who
also appeared in three episodes!
|
|

It's "The Dick Van
Dyke Show" star Rose Marie as "The Big
Man" (?!) - gangland brain and former
singing star. Rosie also starred in "Monkee
Mother", one of the most heartwarming
episodes of the series.
|
|

Horror film star Lon
Chaney, Jr. recreates his role of Lennie from
"Of Mice and Men" in "Monkees in a
Ghost Town".
|
|

The bug-eyed horse
doctor is power-vocal radio comedian Jerry
Colonna...but is everyone sure he's looking at
the right horse?
|
|

There's no Monking
tough guy Harvey Lembeck...if the boys get in the
way of his plans, the gangster's going to do them
some serious hurt!
|
|

Borscht-belt comic and
prolific veteran television actor Phil Leeds is
swindling Mike out of money with the promise of
making his song a hit.
|
|

Character actor and
Tony-winning writer George Furth appeared twice
on "The Monkees". Here he's snooty
Ronnie Farnsworth dumping cold water on Peter's
romantic notions for a girl they both dig!
|
|

Reta Shaw from
"The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" and many
other television shows and movies as Mrs.
Badderly, stage mother from [cuckoo!], longing to
split up the group to pair Davy with her
daughter!
|
|

Ubiquitous character
actor Vito Scotti was not only in a
"Monkees" episode, he was in
"Head"! Here he plays an unscrupulous
doctor - look out, Micky!
|
|

Richard
"Jaws" Kiel as a monster who is to be
the recipient of the Monkees' talent in an
attempt to make him the first
rock star created by man! (Ahem...)
|
|

"I Was Davy's
Double" - that's the back of L.A. rock
impresario Rodney Bingenheimer's head. Same size,
similar haircut...and Rodney's first claim to
fame!
|
|

She's super-sexy and
she's super-silly...she's comedienne and talk
show host Maureen Arthur as Ruby, the ditzy moll
of Micky's "doppelgangster", Baby-Face
Morales!
|
|

"M.A.S.H."ed
by the Monkees - before Mike Farrell became a big
star as "B.J. Hunnicutt", he did bits
like this on Screen Gems T.V. productions.
|
|

He was the voice of the
lovable Fred Flintstone...but Henry Corden's
character of cranky landlord Mr. Babbitt is
anything but friendly!
|
|

"There's no need
to fear..." Wally Cox wrestles with someone
in the washer trying to give him a hand with the
laundry.
|
|

A new laundrymat in
town. The owner is Catwoman Julie Newmar as
"April Conquest". You can predict the
results!
|
|

Novelty singer Doodles
Weaver guarding the door to a posh country club.
Not everyone is allowed in, but the lads are
going to try!
|
|

Foster Brooks as a
drunk (imagine that!) at a convention who's
managed to pick up the wrong kind of bunnies!
|
|

Folk singer and improv
wizard Hamilton Camp as the yes-man to a
megalomaniacal director. (Are there any other
kind?)
|
|

A real glut of teen
idols in this episode - that's Bobby Sherman
before his "Here Come the Brides" pop
star days as surf movie star Frankie Catalina.
|
|

Stand-up comic and Tony Award nominee
Godfrey Cambridge
issuing parking directives to the boys
in Mexico.
ALSO...PARTY WITH THE MACHINERY!
