Bill Mumy was his name. I wonder what became of him after Babylon 5. |

The crucial point here is - great entertainment is original.
It's the lazy (and uncreative) way out to copy, emulate, revive...
I've been asked to partake in Celebrity Wife Swap. Apart from the obvious flaws here, I'd never take part in something which simply continues past formats.
Ditto I'm A Celebrity. But I might well have agreed to be in the first one.
Just like I was the original Mr Nasty (in Music Echo and Disc and on shows like Juke Box Jury).
But that's why I refused to be Mr Nasty in the first series of Pop Stars.
I'd been there... done that... and left it, with great goodwill, to Nigel and Simon to follow my lead, just as Tony Hatch had done years ago. |

They did a new Monkees?? That's too daft for words.

Indeed they did! All we ever saw of it here in the UK was a self titled soundtrack album on Warner Brothers. From memory, the cover looked terrifying with 4 very 80's (crap haircuts etc) looking young guys trying to look "wacky". Did see it around in some stores but never had the nerve to check it out. The TV show was not picked up in the UK.
Thinking back, I seem to recall it did have some involvement from one Christian Nesmith, so there was a link to The Monkees. It is unfortunate that at the same time Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones and Peter Tork reunited as The Monkees and put out a diabolical album called "Pool It!" Whilst The New Monkees is virtually forgotten, "Pool It!" amazingly remains on catalogue, a permanent and embarrassing reminder of how low The Monkees sank, drowning in the 80s production cliches of the day. |

The little ginger haired kid who later appeared in Babylon 5 was out of Lost In space. |

I only liked David Cassidy when he went solo and liked the little ginger haired kids work on Babylon 5, the rest can stay down after "Dawn" and stay there for all I care. |
