Trivia:

This was made as a pilot for a "new" Monkees series, where the boys' comic antics would fill Act One and then a musical guest would be interviewed in Act Two. Davy chats with Charlie Smalls, later the songwriter for "The Wiz," using this format. The Jones-Smalls jam session was filmed more than a month after the rest of the episode, and is in fact the last segment made for the series.

Quotes:

Davy: I'd like a very secluded booth, please.
Pierre: I have a booth which is so secluded that last week three of our best waiters diseappeared by trying to find it.
