In 1986, [[Franchise/TheMonkees The Monkees]] experienced a resurgence in popularity after MTV played a marathon of the [[Series/TheMonkees tv show]] to celebrate the group's twentieth anniversary. In response, Steve Blauner (who worked as an executive producer on the original show) set out to recreate The Monkees for the MTV era. After a highly publicized talent search, The New Monkees hit the air the following year.

The New Monkees features the titular band, who are Larry, Marty, Jared, and Dino, sharing a large mansion with a wide range of inhabitants, including a butler named Manford and a computer A.I. named Helen. The show goes into their wacky adventures as they try to make it as a band. True to its predecessor, episodes featured two music videos.
