New Monkees

Show Summary

Aired: 1987 - 1988
Show Type: Live Action
Country of Origin: US

The "New Monkees" lived in a strange mansion with a mysterious butler and a sassy computer! Unlike the television show "The Monkees", which revolved around a central narrative plot, "New Monkees" television show was more of a variety show with music, short films and 'spoof' commercials. Although some believed that the show tried to "recapture" the spirit of the 60's show, in retrospect it actually captured the spirit of the 80's MTV generation.

Like everyone else who tuned in to the first episode, I had expectations that the format would be similar to the original Monkees, and was surprised when it wasn't. Rather than a half-hour running plot, each episode contained sketch comedy and New Monkees music videos. Like so many other New Monkee fans, I thought to myself, if only they'd been named something else, viewers would just allow this show to have an identity of its own! If there's ever a reunion episode, please let me write it!
Look up "New Monkees" on You Tube, and be amazed !

Many people cut down The New Monkees. I dont see why. These four guys went thru so much while making this show.. I remember staying up late and having to try to get the station to come in so i could watch them.. as soon as the tape came out i bought it. who wouldn't . the music was wonderful. And to tell the truth the guys were/are gorgeous so it was a great show for teenage girls to fall in love with.. we actually still get the honor of talking to a few of the actual members at the yahoo group, they still are wonderful people. If you don't know about this show , check it out on youtube.com before you make harsh comments.. feelings do get hurt . I am proud to say that i am a new monkee fan forever...

I've been a New Monkees fan since I first saw them on Solid Gold lipsyncing WHAT I WANT. I bought the CD and it's been a fav all these years. I wasn't able to watch the show till this past year and I must say that it is better than most would expect. It reminds me of that Nick show, ALL THAT. It was obviously ahead of it's time back in the day. I can definately see why the show itself still has fans...the great music was an added BIG PLUS! This band was TOTALLY DIFFERENT than the Monkees and it's also obvious that they were NOT trying to be like them either. Too bad they weren't given a shot to let the show grow...they certainly deserved it.
