"Getting Davy Jones" is one of the best remembered episodes, due to the welcome presence of former Monkees heartthrob Davy Jones, who just recently passed away at age 66. Not only that, but he sings his best known solo song, "Girl," written by Norman Fox and Charles Gimbel, which was issued as an unsuccessful single, and prominently featured as the movie theme for the soon to be released Sandy Duncan feature film "Star Spangled Girl" (playing over the opening credits). Being the president of the local Davy Jones fan club, Marcia believes that she can get him to perform at her school prom, but finds it nearly impossible to even get near him (Tina Andrews makes her television debut). She (and we) catch him recording his latest single in the studio, and he is able to hear her pleas through the microphone, later showing up in her home with a promised copy of his new album, "Davy Jones" (issued by Bell Records earlier that year, with Neil Sedaka's "Rainy Jane" the lone chart hit). 15 year old Maureen McCormick's delightfully star struck demeanor is truly genuine, so it's easy to see how any Davy fan would identify with (and envy) her situation. Of the four Monkees, Davy was easily the most accessible, going on to contribute a memorable cameo (plus Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork) to 1995's "The Brady Bunch Movie." Maureen McCormick went on to be a very fine singer-performer in her own right, and portrayed Barbara Mandrell in the 1997 TV movie "Get to the Heart: The Barbara Mandrell Story" (I always thought she did a better job with the song "Ben" than Michael Jackson ever had). The posthumous reissue of Davy's 1971 LP now includes the non-album single tracks "Girl" and "I'll Believe in You," so his entire output through Bell Records, the immediate descendant of Colgems, is now easily available (by the way, "Girl" is a noticeably different version than the one featured in this episode). Alas, no one remembers the "Barbara Lost" episode of MY THREE SONS, which Micky Dolenz did only a few months later, perhaps because no songs were featured.
