They decided Mike would represent ‘us’, the leader, the one with his feet on the ground; Micky was meant to be the crazy off-the-wall type; Davy was a heartthrob, and then they came to the decision whether Peter would play a genius or a total idiot. “It was like voting on deciding the Pope. Sadly Peter was so smart and so perceptive and so insightful and yet we decided to make his character a total idiot for the sake of the comedy.”

Why The Monkees Matter Presentation for St. Scholastica Academy Honors Sociology class [Video] (40:43)

Thanks to the magic of Skype I was able to appear as a guest lecturer for the St. Scholastica Academy Honors Sociology class. Their engaging teacher has been using The Monkees to illustrate concepts in Sociology all year long and so I tailored this talk to the aspects of the book that discuss how feminism, civil rights and ethnic studies are represented in episodes of the show.

Quotes from  

It’s no surprise that Meyerson and Silverman became good friends during their two seasons on the show, to the point where they partnered up for some later work on other series (Captain Nice, Accidental Family) because Silverman was the other writer who happily identified with the counter-culture world of the time. “I remember going back East and telling my old college roommates that I had started smoking grass. They were shocked.

 Quotes from

Meyerson mixes a metatextual moment with a comment on the counter-culture when a western deputy answers the second call. This time, when Davy says the boys are in trouble the deputy says, “I better get Mr. Dillon.”

Davy asks, “Marshall Dillon?”, referencing the long-running Gunsmoke.

But the deputy answers, “No Bob Dylan. He can write a song about your problems.”

Meyerson was also behind the Vietnam War reference in the domino-playing scene in “Monkee Mother”.

Quotes from  

Clearly, neither Gardner nor Evans felt connected to the counter-culture.  Neither did freelancer Coslough Johnson. To Johnson, “Counter culture meant you were a communist. I was older than the actors and most of the writers since I’d been in the military and then done industrial films so I didn’t even know the smell of marijuana.
