"Monkee See, Monkee Die" (prod. # 4705) first aired @ 7:30 p.m. (EDT) on NBC as the 2nd episode of The Monkees.

The sponsor of the week was Slicker and Black Label by Yardley Of London™, and the songs featured were "Last Train To Clarksville" by Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart and "Tomorrow's Gonna Be Another Day" (erroneously listed as "Tomorrow Is Another Day") by Tommy Boyce & Steve Venet.

This episode marked "Last Train To Clarksville"'s debut appearance on the series. The next 2 episodes would feature the tune, and the prolonged TV exposure would help displace ? and The Mysterians' "96 Tears" to ensure "Last Train To Clarksville"'s status as the first #1 hit for The Monkees for 2 weeks. It was issued on the A-side of the Colgems #66-1001 single on August 16, 1966, well ahead of time--almost 4 weeks before the official NBC debut of The Monkees' TV series!--to accurately time it for weekly network promotion.
