The last episode of The Monkees

March 25, 1968 –
The 58th and final episode of The Monkees, Mijacogeo (also known as The Frodis Caper,) aired on this date.

When the show was about to be renewed for a third season the group wanted to turn the show from a half hour sitcom into an hour variety show where they would introduce new artists. However, NBC gave the group an ultimatum to stick with the format as-was or get canceled. The group stuck to their guns and the show was canceled after two seasons on the air.
