Hey, Hey, Bet You Didn’t Know This About ‘The Monkees’

2. They purposefully took on issues of censorship

During one episode of the second season they made a joke about the fact you couldn’t say the word “hell” on network TV. They were having a conversation where they were using the word a lot in reference to Peter Tork selling his soul to the devil, and at one point Micky Dolenz says “You know what’s even more scary? You can’t say ‘hell’ on television” (which was still bleeped out for the joke). They new the network wouldn’t be pleased, but they did it anyways.
