The end came to 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.
