Episode Notes |

| Click to hear What Am I Doing Hangin' Round
| “Monkees Marooned” is the last episode to feature the harpsichord rendition of the Monkees theme as the sub-main title theme.
| The author of “Monkees Marooned,” Stanley Ralph Ross, also co-wrote ‘The Wild Monkees.” He died in 2000.
| Stand-in John London plays a gorilla in this episode. Aside from that and a string of cameos in several first-season episodes, London’s only other onscreen appearances was in the 1981 Cannon film New Year’s Evil, playing a Floor Manager. He also worked as a key grip on The Karate Kid (1984) and Fandango (1985) prior to his death in 2000.
| Watch for a walk-on by David Price, another Monkee stand-in,at the end of the teaser. He strolls on by just as Leonard Sheldon tries to sell Peter’s guitar to Mike.
| The version of “What Am I Doing Hangin’ ‘Round?” used in this episode has a longer fade than the version that appears on Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones, Ltd. This alternate version previously appeared in the second season premiere, “It’s A Nice Place To Visit…”
| The late Burt Mustin also appeared as William The Butler in “The Monkees Christmas Show.” Mustin had parts in many sitcoms of the day, including Gus the auxiliary fireman on Leave It To Beaver, Jud Crowley on The Andy Griffith Show, Grandpa Jenson on Petticoat Junction and Justin Quigley on All In The Family. His last role was as Arthur Lawson on Phyllis. A salesman for most of his life, Mustin was also a member of the Pittsburg Savoyards, the oldest Gilbert & Sullivan troupe in the U.S., as well as the U.S. Barbershop Music Harmony Society. The master of ceremonies for many of their shows in the 1960’s and 70’s, one of his quartets was called the “Cavity Four,” as all four members had false teeth, which they often removed for comic effect.
| The word “Kretch,” uttered by Kimba, previously appeared on this show in the form of a comic blurb in the Batman parody sequence of “Captain Crocodile.”
| While fanning a slumbering Major Pshaw, Thursday (the late Ruppert Crosse) is seen giggling as he watches television. These scenes of them were edited for the “Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow)” romp seen in “The Monkees In Manhattan.”
| Rupert Crosse was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his portrayal of Ned McCaslin in the 1969 film, The Reivers. He co-starred with Don Adams in the short-lived police comedy, The Partners (NBC, 1971-72), in which he played Detective George Robinson. He died of cancer in 1973.
| An unused clip from the “Daydream Believer” romp that shows a loin clothed Davy riding his bicycle into the ocean appears in the second season main titles.

Michael Murphy is credited in both episodes as composer of “What Am I Doing Hangin’ ‘Round?,“ though he composed it with Owen Castleman. A third episode to feature “Hangin’ ‘Round” --- “The Monkees Race Again”--credits them both, but as their aliases, Travis Lewis and Boomer Clarke.
| "COCANUT MILK" is misspelled.

Kimba of the Jungle is an obvious spoof of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Tarzan. Another Monkee homage to Tarzan can be spotted in “The Chaperone.”
