In 1994–95, Dolenz played in two episodes of the sitcom ''[[Boy Meets World]]''; in the first one (entitled "Band on the Run"), he played Norm, a bandmate of Alan Matthews. In 1995, he joined Davy Jones and Peter Tork in episode eight of the third season (entitled "Rave On"), although they did not play the Monkees, per se – Dolenz's character is "Gordy", while Davy Jones is "Reginald Fairfield" and Tork is "Jedidiah Lawrence". However, at the climax of the program, the three are put on stage together and perform the classic [[Buddy Holly]] song "[[Not Fade Away (song)|Not Fade Away]]", and the Temptations' "[[My Girl (The Temptations song)|My Girl]]". As an inside joke, actor [[Dave Madden]], who had played the manager on ''The Partridge Family'', cameoed as a manager; he suddenly appears, wanting to handle the "new" group, and tells them that they "could be bigger than [[The Beatles]]", which they all scoff at.
