Not an "organic" band, right? Like, a put together by producers sort of thing?

Yes, the Monkees were a band made for TV by the producers of the show.

I used to watch the show when I was a kid - it was fun.

As an adult, I have their greatest hits album, and I'm always amazed at how many hits they had.

I watched the show as a kid, our family had the first 2 Monkee's records that we played non-stop on the old record player, you know the kind that had it's own case, until they were completely scratched. Fun fact, in 1967 the Monkees out sold the Beatles and Rolling Stones combined. Their first 2 albums were recorded by the infamous Wrecking Crew (studio musicians) with only the bands singing voices included. After that they recorded their own playing on successive albums. Here is a pic of Davy Jones and Mike Nesmith killing time with DC's on an airplane.
