Making the Monkees

A look at the rise and fall of the Monkees, pop's first manufactured sensation. Two child actors, a folk singer, and a country guitarist answered a newspaper advertisement casting "4 insane boys, age 17–21," and quickly found themselves TV and music superstars in the late 1960s, before it all came to a screeching halt.
