Sorry but I'm a very busy person and I don't have time to sit through some four minute video of a TV show family doing the two-step on some talent show. Can somebody please post a summary so that I can get on with my busy life?

Of course, busy person, here you go!

Another fictitious TV family attempting to launch a music career, do you say?

Yes indeed, I do say. After the massive success of "The Monkees" and then "The Partridge Family", other popular TV shows at the time felt that they should also take a stab at establishing the cast as musical performing artists. Thus they could cash in on the popularity of the TV show by selling millions of records.

Can't sing? No problem. We can dub in the voices. Can't dance? No problem. A side-shuffle here, a handclap there and the kids at home will LOVE it.

And they did.

“After the massive success of “The Monkees””

“Michael Nesmith”, Peter Tork, Mickey Dolenz and of course Davy Jones, don’t get the respect they deserve.

Nesmith was a great songwriter.

Having said that I may watch Cowsills stuff tonight.
