What does everyone think of the news of yet another attempt to re-create The Monkees?

Personally, I think it will never work :rolleyes:

Does no one learn from the past?? They tried this once and it blew up in their faces. It sure isn't gonna work now.

Oh no! Not again! Yuck! I'll probably watch it to see what it is about but I know I won't like it :( cuz there is only one Monkees. Mike, Micky, Peter & Davy... No one else should ever have the name...

I totally agree with both of you!!!!! But I'm hoping that this WILL stir up more interest in the originals, and perhaps get them on tv again, after tv land taking them off.

Does anybody remember The New Monkees from the '80s??

(sound of crickets chirping)

I didn't think so!

I think that says it all, really...

They'd better just stick to the originals! They're the best, and will remain so until the world ends...or better yet, even after it ends. Wait a second...is that possible?

That will suck big time...As already said in this thread, there's only one monkees(ok, there were 4);)

:rock: :guitar: There will NEVER be a NEW Monkees the Monkees will ALWAYS be Peter, Davy, Mike, and Micky.

puke: The Disney TV show “the New Monkees” was a total flop and there songs sucked! :thumbsdow

You can never re-create the fan frenzy the ORIGINAL post fab four Monkees had EVER!

VH1 is trying to make a new Partridge Family … Give me a break! Lets just watch the Original HIT shows and be done with it!

:thanks:

:clap yeah i don't think anything will come of it i mean we haven't seen anything yet....but i don't think it'll work out i mean you can't replace the monkees! no one can that would be like trying to put the beatles back together or something like that! maybe people impersonat them but not actually trying to be them you know! besides if they ever do that then they will just be laughed off of the stage!:D

The fact that there was nearly two years between posts in this thread should tell you something about how much people care about the New Monkees.

I wouldn't hold out any hopes for a 20th anniversary tour next year.;)

Thanks for bringing up a bad memory Dr. Thong, lol. Sadly I do remember what a stinker that was.




Just what we don't need another bad remake. Like everyone pretty much said, there's nothing or will never be another Monkees like the original.

I don't like remakes of classic TV shows in general, whether as new series or
as movies. Not only should they not have tried to remake THE MONKEES,
they also should never have tried to remake LEAVE IT TO BEAVER, THE BEVERLY
HILLBILLIES, MY FAVORITE MARTIAN, THE MUNSTERS, CHARLIE'S ANGELS,
... well, I think you get the idea.

This thread stayed dormant for two years. Blame someone else for bringing it back!!;) :D

Consider yourself lucky.

It was an '80s attempt to revive the concept of The Monkees with new actors/characters and music. It lasted one season and was never heard from again. A CD was released, which could be bought cheaply in bargain bins for years afterward.
