Not really. The Monkees started as a TV show, only insisted on being a real band later. Nice enough on their own but nothing extraordinary. The Beatles toughed it out with endless rehearsals/performances before anyone heard of them, did not become a TV commodity until they had extensive performances on radio in live to tape performances for the BBC. I have no idea of why you're being so very petty. The 1963 BBC performances reissued on CD demonstrate the work of a band that rocked harder than the US bands they modeled themselves after. And the band kept up their pace of constant innovation right up to the time they disbanded.Easy mistake to make.
