Antenna TV has scheduled a weekend marathon of all 58 episodes of "The Monkees" starting Saturday at 5 p.m. and running through 10 p.m. on Sunday. The channel, which specializes in vintage TV shows, will also air "Head," the Monkees' surreal 1968 movie that was co-written by Jack Nicholson, Sunday at 10 p.m.
And Friday night, BIO Channel will air two specials, "Biography: The Monkees" at 8 p.m., followed at 9 p.m. by "BIO Remembers: Davy Jones."
Meanwhile, "Brady Bunch" star Maureen McCormick has weighed in on Jones, who figured in one of the show's most iconic episodes. The actress told TMZ.com that Jones "was a beautiful soul. . . . He spread love and goodness around the world. He filled our lives with happiness, music and joy."
Jones appeared as himself on the Dec. 10, 1971, episode of "The Brady Bunch," to be the prom date of Marcia Brady, who was also president of her school's Davy Jones Fan Club.
Jones, 66, died Wednesday after a massive heart attack.
