Reception

The Monroes premiered at 8 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday, September 7, 1966. Though it benefited from the lead-in of ABC's popular Batman series, The Monroes faced stiff competition against the last hour of NBC's The Virginian and CBS's second half of Lost in Space and The Beverly Hillbillies. The series was unable to develop sufficient audience to remain on the air, and its concluding episode aired on March 15, 1967. Although not a ratings success, Michael Anderson, Jr. and Barbara Hershey both won American Heritage Awards for their work on the series.
