Comment on Can we take a moment to appreciate Chekov's hair in his early episodes?

Interestingly enough, The Monkees show started the same month (as all shows did back in the day) in '66. I think he was just covering his bases - if it didn’t work out on Trek, he could transition over to be a Monkee.

That makes even more sense then! They didn’t bring Chekov in until the second season, so they were probably trying to hastily compete with The Monkees.

They went a bit too far and at some points instead of creating a character for the Monkees … they were starting to create an actual monkey.
