Episode synopsis
They were four young men hired by Hollywood to play a make-believe band but their critics dubbed them "the pre-fab four". They fought to make their own records -- seizing control in a high-stakes musical mutiny. The phony foursome stopped faking -- and started playing. They won the battle to be a real band -- but the victory led to their destruction. When the 60's ended, The Monkees were history. They weren't hip. They weren't cool. But two decades later -- they were back. Then, their comeback fell victim to bad blood, and bruised egos.
