"During the summer, Screen Gems launched the New Monkees, which miserably failed I understand. I never saw it"

Davy Jones' quote is a reflection on the failure of the New Monkees, a television program launched by Screen Gems throughout the summertime. The show was a reboot of the original Monkees series, which was a popular program in the 1960s. However, the New Monkees stopped working to capture the exact same level of success as the original series. Davy Jones, a member of the original Monkees, was aware of the program's failure and had not seen it himself. His quote is a testimony to the show's absence of success, as he acknowledges that it "miserably failed" and he had actually not even seen it. This quote serves as a pointer that not all reboots succeed, and that sometimes the original is the best.
