In the episode, "The Case Of The Missing Monkee" what is the name of the professor and what kind of scientist is he?
Professor Milo Schnitzler. He was a Nuclear Scientist. However on the actual eppi it doesn’t say what kind of scientist he is, I was prompted to make sure after a query came up over it and nowhere did it say what field. So if you said Nuclear we gave you points as it is out there on the great void known as the internet, if you left it blank you also got points as you were right or just got plain lucky not knowing.

MUSIC:
What song on "Headquarters" did Peter especially want to sing?
Early Morning Blues & Greens

LIFE AFTER MONKEES:
Who is it that plays Sunset Sam on the Cruisin' video?
Hulk Hogan [yes he of the fake tan and fake blonde hair,
why? You’d have to ask Nez and if you do ask him why red speedos], also known as
Terry Gene Bollea, Hollywood Hogan [Christy was wizard here and confirmed a
nasty suspicion] & Hollywood Hulk Hogan [I caught this on WWF honest I just
caught it I don’t watch wrestling British wrestlers put me off the idea many
moons ago!]
Ref: Total Control pg 168.
What was the next film Bert Schneider & Bob Rafelson got involved in after Head?
Easy Rider
Ref: Monkeemania, Monkees Tale, Daydream Believers The Monkees Story, there are thousands of places I’m sure.
Who is Julie Driscol and what does she have to do with the Monkees?
She was a British singer, who was in Brian Augers The Trinity [can you see where we’re going yet?] She played the weird psycho looking woman in………….. 33 1/3 Revolutions Per Monkee [oh yes we did it again and will until the abomination can offer no more.] She’s the one with the cool makeup and talking belly button, who sings I’m A Believer with Micky, watches Peter & Davy, who shoots one of the Mikes. Who is the temptress with the apple, who declares the whole thing a bloody shambles! [I can think of a lot of things to call it but none are printable and none are as kind as shambles.]
Ref: 33 1/3 itself, any site or book worth it’s salt
will mention who was in these things, she’s a well known singer in the UK and if
you’ve ever watched Ab Fab [I’m sure you get it over in America hence the
Roseanne appearance of Patsy and Edina] she sang the title theme This Wheels On
Fire. Or look up this site:

Ref: You should know this it’s basic Monkees knowledge it’s in plenty of books [Monkeemania, Total Control], on plenty of sites [Psycho-jello] & documentaries/ interviews [E! Hollywood True Stories].
Which Monkee is a grandpa? (As Of The Quiz Release Date)
Mike
Ref: Total Control pg 244, he has 3, all Christian's, as in his son as how would I know their religious preferences? Davy has stated he will be but it hasn’t happened just yet it’ll happen in July when he’s saying he’s the first Monkee gramps at concerts he’s wrong, if you want to dispute it go to interviews where he keeps saying there were only 56 Monkees eppis. The man is NOT that good at recalling things.
How many Monkee children are there?
There are 15 of them, busy, busy Monkees, don’t you guys have good TV or something?

Mike - Christian, Johnathon, Jason, Jessica.
Micky - Ami, Georgia, Emily, Charlotte.
Davy - Thalia, Sarah, Jessica, Annabel.
Peter - Hallie, Ivan, Erica.
[Of course there may be more but we don’t know about them, Jason was a well kept secret for a time.]

He states it was fun and that a fair few people didn’t know it was him……only if they don’t have access to an internet site or live under a rock cause there’s no way the disguise will have been that great.
Be a hero to yourself! ~PHT
