Peter Tork, David Jones, Micky Dolenz, and Michael Nesmith were catapulted onto the world stage as The Monkees. Yet producers originally considered a real band to front the series.
They “initially attempted to hire The Dave Clark Five, then considered hiring The Lovin' Spoonful,” according to Past Factory. The Monkees' creators “eventually opted to toss the dice” with unknowns.
