5. NEW MONKEES (1987)
In 1986, The Monkees were at the top of pop culture (again) after MTV (https://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?t=366250) aired reruns of the classic 1966 TV show for a new audience. Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork, and Davy Jones reunited (minus Michael Nesmith) for a special 20th anniversary tour, while their albums were reissued and a new one was released. In fact, there was so much excitement over The Monkees's revival that Columbia Pictures Television (https://allisonveneziowrites.com/2019/05/07/coca-cola-telecommunications/) announced a new sequel TV series (https://www.metv.com/lists/8-forgotten-sequel-series-to-hit-shows-of-the-1960s) with a nationwide talent search (https://monkees.coolcherrycream.com/articles/1987/04/16/the-new-monkees-take-the-town) to find the New Monkees (https://www.angelfire.com/80s/newmonkees/press.htm).
After auditioning thousands upon thousands of young hopefuls, Jared Chandler, Larry Saltis, Konstantinos "Dino" Kovas, and Marty Ross (who also played guitar for a power pop band called The Wigs) were selected to star, as well as release a new synth pop-driven, self-titled album to coincide with the premiere of New Monkees in syndication.
Much like the original, the new TV show followed the adventures of a struggling young band that lived together, but the difference being they lived in a giant mansion with a butler, many unexplored rooms—which was the source of said adventures—a diner with a sassy waitress, and a talking computer named Helen.
However, by the time the new TV show and album were released to the public in 1987, The Monkees had become passé again. New Monkees was canceled after just 13 episodes, despite a 22-episode series order. The new album also bombed and failed to garner a single hit.
