A Clip from this longer presentation Watch the entire presentation here http://welchwrite.com/rwelch/2016/08/... Transcript: This particular episode is very famous. It's call "Frodis Caper." Frodis is a code word for marijuana. Right? And so this whole episode is built around this alien plant. What does it look like? What does it look like to you? Nobody caught that. The entire episode is built around one bad American who ties in with the alien, uses his power to zombie out everybody in town and we have to stop this guy. They do it -- they use the aliens power through the TV which is the bad thing. TV will destroy your brian if you watch too much of it. So you notice this -- that's the CBS logo kind of messed around with. Their on NBC. So they're riffing on the other network right now being the bad thing you shouldn't focus on. About This Presentation "1960s TV Censorship and The Monkees" gives a brief overview of where censorship standards were in the era - and how The Monkees pushed the envelope with its mentions of the Vietnam War - and Sunset Strip riots - and even with the outrageous storytelling behind "Frodis Caper", the episode that celebrated the saving of an alien plant that very closely resembled a marijuana plant... Writer Treva Silverman said the staff got away with such jokes because the network executives were just old enough not to understand any of the references.
