The Christmas Show (1967) departs from the usual stills montage by ending with The Monkees giving the TV audience a Christmas wish of peace. The group then brings the crew members onto the set and gives them all a very happy and raucous opportunity to give their loved ones at home a Christmas greeting, all while the closing credits play over this.
The TV series' closing credits show a montage of still photos of The Monkees making faces and wearing silly hats. During its first season, its closing song was a reprise of the TV version of "Hey, Hey, We're The Monkees" (which was also its opening theme song), but during its second season, this was changed to "For Pete's Sake (In This Generation)".
For the opening credits of the show's second season, three members of the Monkees would be humorously misidentified on screen as "Peter." This would be followed each time by a shot of Peter Tork looking upset, prompting a new graphic correctly labeling each Monkee.
