"Oliver!", "Love, American Style", "My Two Dads", "Coronation Street", "Z-Cars", "The Ed Sullivan Show" (1964), "The Brady Bunch" (1969-1974), "The Farmer's Daughter" (1963-1966)
There's one thing I've never forgiven myself for: When the Monkees wrapped in 1970, I should have gotten straight away from Hollywood and back onto the horse-racing circuit; Instead, I waited ten more years. Everyone makes mistakes in life, and that was my own biggest.
3
[explaining what made him decide on transferring from theater to rock & roll] I watched the Beatles from backstage at The Ed Sullivan Show. When I saw the girls going crazy, I said to myself, "This is it. I want a piece of that."
4
I keep hearing that "any excuse you can give for a Monkees reunion is a good excuse," which doesn't bother me at all - since I couldn't agree more!
5
[looking back at The Monkees (1966)'s premiere episode, The Monkees: Royal Flush (1966)] I look just like my fourteen-year-old daughter, I can't believe it. Wait 'til she sees this episode.

My wife says when I go out to the refrigerator, I do three minutes (entertaining) when the light goes on!

Fact
1
He was a vegan.
2
Autobiography, "They Made a Monkee Out Of Me", released 1987; audio version released the following year. The book was advertised on TV, by Jones himself, for special-order.
3
An avid equestrian for most of his life, Jones reared horses on his farms in both Pennsylvania and Florida.
4
Longtime friends with David Cassidy. They were planning to go on tour in April 2012 before Davy's death.
5
His brother-in-law, Joseph Pacheco, is also his manager.
6
The Monkees were awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Recording at 6675 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California.
7
Had a seasonal home in Beavertown, Pennsylvania, USA.
Ranked #9 in TV Guide's list of "TV's 25 Greatest Teen Idols" (23 January 2005 issue).
10
Enjoyed the novelty of going out on the town with much-taller (even six-foot) women.
11
His popularity with teenage girls led to the casting of lookalike Walter Koenig by the producers of Star Trek (1966), who were looking to attract a younger, more female audience.
12
Daughter Sarah Lee Jones was married on August 28, 1998.
13
Has two grandsons: Harrison Randall Jones McFadden born on July 2, 2002 by daughter Sarah; Phoenix Joseph Burrows born on May 29, 2003 by daughter Jessica.
14
Opened a pair of boutiques during the 1960s, called "Zilch" (after a Monkees recording) and "The Street", and also his own record label, with band hairstylist David Pearl as his manager and business partner. Each venture folded within a couple years, and Jones sued Pearl for mismanagement of his funds.
15
Jones was drafted into the United States Army in 1967, he was eventually excused because it was shown that he was his family's only source of financial support (Jones' father suffered from poor health, and was no longer able to work).
16
When Jones first visited home after becoming a Monkee, his father refused to let him inside until he got his haircut - twice. Jones' reaction to this was to buy the family a new house, "so now he has to let me in!".
17
Was given a videotape copy of his The Ed Sullivan Show (1948) appearance (with The Beatles also on the program) by CBS; Jones treasured it years later.
18
Celebrated his climb as a performer on his first American visit (touring with "Oliver!") by having steak at every meal for a month, "including breakfast." He had never had it growing up.
19
Was nominated for Broadway's 1963 Tony Award as Best Supporting or Featured Actor in a Musical for playing the role of the Artful Dodger in "Oliver!".
20
Had appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show (1948) on February 9, 1964 with the cast of "Oliver!" (as the Artful Dodger). This is the same night The Beatles made their legendary debut.
21
Because of his popularity with The Monkees, another singer named David Jones was forced to change his name to David Bowie.
22
His daughters' names are Talia Elizabeth (2 October 1968, with Haines), Sarah Lee (3 July 1971, with Haines), Jessica Lillian (4 September 1981, with Pollinger) and Annabel Charlotte (26 June 1988, with Pollinger).
