The New Monkees

Too many were critical of this show because of the moniker. The bottom line is if you viewed it with an open mind, it was hilarious. Naming it the New Monkees was the kiss of death in my opinion. I say this being a fan of the Originals first. These were four new guys, a fairly different premise, and it was a different time. In a time when TV was fairly off the wall anyways, I don't see where the NM was that far off. If it had been marketed as it's own show, it would have done better. The New Monkees were never given a fair shake in my opinion.moreless

I am a life-long fan of the original Monkees, so I had decided to try this out. I have a high tolerance for the obscure and the bizarre (I actually LIKED the movie "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"), so I figured that I could handle this.

WRONG!!! I still remember the day it first aired. My husband was holding the remote control, and after just 10 minutes of this show, I was begging him to change the channel. It was not bizarre; it was just convoluted. They tried to do too many things at the same time. It was even fast by MTV standards.

I'm thankful that it never repeated, and I strongly warn anyone away from this. They took all the fun out of the original and just went...well, bad.moreless

People please? Comparing the Monkees to the Beatles is probably the stupidest thing. The Monkees didn\\\'t write their own material and had no sense of originality like the Beatles seemd to have. They were without one of the most overrated bands in the 1960\\\'s. They didn\\\'t play any of their instruments nor right any of their songs. Bands like Stones, Beatles, Zeppelin, Floyd and the Who are on another level, completely set apart from the garbage that is the Monkees. I\\\'m sick of the Monkees and their lame show, which I find not very entertaining at all. This is just basically a rip off of the Beatles. They don\\\'t deserve to be compared to the great bands I mentioned above or great artists like Chuck Berry, Ray Charles and Elvis Presley. They were just so ghastly overrated, that it surprises me that they became so popular. It\\\'s pathetic. Someone call Davy Jones, tell him his 15 minutes of fame are up.moreless

Not even close to the origianal Monkees.
This show was badly scripted it almost stank! The first epiosde was decent enough but it got worse as the series progress, after about the fourth epiosde, I quickly quit watching it.
The songs were quite unforgettable except for one inwhich I can't remember the title of it!!!
Ask me and I'll tell you, I'll stick with Mike,Micky,Davy and Peter.
