The finale of The Monkees

March 25, 1968
They walked down the street for the last time


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

The four Monkees were each paid $450 per episode, raised to $750 for the second season. They received standard royalty rates for their recordings (and publishing, when they wrote the songs), but received virtually nothing for their merchandising. Micky Dolenz and Davy Jones sued Columbia Pictures in the late 1970s, but had to settle for a payment of only $10,000.
