Here's the complete broadcast of The Monkees episode "Dance, Monkee, Dance", as aired on WFLD Channel 32, Thursday, July 3rd 1980!
Of course, as was the case many times on WFLD, the episode is shown via a washed-out 16mm film print. This episode originally aired, in more pristine fashion, on the NBC Network (and, therefore, in Chicago via WMAQ Channel 5) on December 12th 1966 (Season 1, Episode 14).
The episode - about Peter Tork winning a quiz sponsored by Renaldo's Dance Au Go Go and being tricked into signing a lifetime contract by the dance studio's owner Renaldo (Hal March, the former host of the 1950's quiz show The $64,000 Question) and the boys' efforts to get him, and themselves, out of such contracts - also featured Karen James as Miss Buntwell and Stephen Coit who, though credited as "Timid Man" in the ending credits, actually played former President Martin Van Buren.
The songs featured in this episode - both produced by Jeff Barry - were an early, unreleased version of "I'll Be Back On My Feet Again" (written by Sandy Linzer and Denny Randell, the latter's surname misspelled "Randall" in the end credits) and their second Number One hit "I'm A Believer" written by Neil Diamond.
This clip begins with the ending of Super Cartoon Sunrise for that morning, with voiceover (by Dr. Don Rose) promoting The Munsters for 5:00pm, followed by a station ID/promo for I Love Lucy for 5:30pm (voiceover by Jim Barton) (posted separately here: • WFLD Channel 32 - Supe... )

WFLD's The Monkees "zooming" bumper

Followed by 14 seconds of black (potential technical difficulties moment?)

Directed by James Frawley
...and going downhill in the proceedings from there ;-) - with "I'll Be Back On My Feet Again"

An irony about the Kellogg's commercial in one of the breaks was that the cereal maker was key sponsor of the series in its original 1966-68 NBC run.

This episode was featured on the Blu-Ray boxed set of "The Monkees - The Complete Series" which is available on Blu-Ray along with all the episodes from the series including a feature length film called "Head" which was the only movie that featured the Monkees and it was huge flop in 1968. Let's hope if Sony Pictures won't get into copyright trouble.

My family went to Marriott's Great America (Now Six Flags) back when The Great American Eagle roller coaster opened. The park will never be the same as it was back then, but The Eagle--America's biggest (And oldest?) wooden roller coaster--still stands.

I seem to recall, in NYC in the '70's, "Monkees" reruns airing on WNEW Channel 5 (a.k.a. WFLD's future sister station). (They are certified to have run "The Partridge Family" as well, into at least the early '80's, before it went to WOR Channel 9.) WNEW's prints, likewise 16mm, would have supposedly been only marginally better than what WFLD had on hand. (Of the NYC stations, only WPIX Channel 11 had 35mm prints of TV shows and feature films - which was how their 1970 "Yule Log" footage shot in California ended up in a can originally containing the Classic 39 "Honeymooners" episode "A Dog's Life.")

Amazing if they could pull in a better budget to get 35mm at WPIX.

I hate when they do that in syndication, replacing original opening credits with later ones. Quantum Leap reruns on COZI-TV right now show the season four credits for the whole series, for example. Same thing with Saved by the Bell's first season. I'd like to see the show as it was originally aired, unless it would cause an issue like sensitive material or music licensing rights (like Family Matters having a different theme for its earliest episodes).
