On September 12, 1966, The Monkees, starring Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork, debuted on NBC. The Monkees Live Almanac would like to say congratulations to The Monkees themselves, their families and friends, and all of those who were a part of the Monkees project, past and present.

"HAPPY 50th TO THE MONKEES!!"

During summer break from school in 1976 i caught the show in syndicated reruns everyday from 5:00-5:30 and became an instant fan! I remember scouring dept stores and record shops for Monkees records but to no avail,until i finally happened upon the Arista Greatest Hits collection,and that had to do me until the Rhino re-releases of the '80's!

I missed them on the 20th anniversary tour because i had just become a new dad so money was tight,but i caught them on the 2013 tour and it was a highlight of the many concerts i have attended over the years. Definitely in my top 3-5 shows that i have witnessed.

I could go on and on but i will stop here and thank Micky,Davy,Mike & Peter for many years of laughter and musical memories! You guys rock!

I'm an original fan... Fifty years of Monkees, Colgems, Screen Gems, Boyce & Hart and everything in between.

What a great ride! I think I took from them more than they ever intended to give. They encapsulated the 60's. They were Saturday mornings. The ultimate definition for collect all four...

Thanks Peter, Micky, Davy and Mike for the time of my life!

I believe it's very nice of Mike Nesmith to fill in for Peter the next few days.

Hard to believe that it all started relatively innocuosly at 730 on September 12 and turned into what it did. How I would love to build a time machine and watch it as it happened. Happy birthday Monkees!!

I miss Davy and Peter very. I was shocked about Davy's sudden passing on February 29, 2012, and saddened. Then when Peter passed way of February 21, 2019, I was really saddened. I love the all the Monkees very much, but I have to admit, Peter was my favorite Monkee.
I was watching my Monkees DVD yesterday, and last week, I can't help feel a little sad, because Davy and Peter are both gone.
I'm sure Davy and Peter are still in Mike and Micky's thoughts. They are suppose to be here in Dallas, Texas at the Majestic Theatre in Downtown Dallas, on April 3rd, 2021. I hope to see them.
I hope the pandemic will be over or in control by 2021.
I hope Mike and Micky are staying safe and healthy.
I lot of celebrities I like are all at risk on getting COVID-19, I hope they're all staying safe and healthy.
The celebrities I love are all at risk, except 1.
Along with Mike and Micky, I love one celebrity that's 93 years old, and one is 68, the other celebrity I love is 58,
Again, I hope Mike and Micky are staying safe and healthy.

I'm hoping to see Mike and Micky when they come to Dallas in September. I still have the ticket from the Thursday, April 16, 2020 for the Majestic. It's been poseponed about 4 times because of COVID 19. They were gonna be at the Majestic Theater here in Downtown Dallas in September, this year, but was moved to a theater in Grand Prairie, Texas. I hope I can see them.
