I bet they will wind up some kind of Boyband (or Punk, Grunge, Rap act or a
combo plate of the above). The idea of trying to create a new Monkees via
"Reality based TV" just makes me cringe and change channels. I just hope
Davy, Mickey, or Peter and Mike stay far far away from participating in
this.
BTW didn't ABC already try this with O-Town and "Making the Band?" Ugh!
They should drop any idea of a New Monkees and just create a new band. Cant
catch lightning in a bottle, especially when it flashed 37 years ago.
