Why they might be annoying:

    They were primarily marketed as Beatles clones.
    They were actually actors playing musicians.
    The series was fashioned after the success of the Beatles' 'Hard Day's Night.'
    Their series was not renowned for their stellar acting performances.
    On their reunion tour (1996), Michael Nesmith was conspicuously absent.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They used their real names for their characters.
    Their song 'Last Train to Clarksville' became an unintentional hit.
    The fake band became a real band after they learned how to play instruments and went on tour to promote their unexpectedly successful albums.
    They were certainly a fun, high-energy act.
    They received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (1989).
    The band broke up due to political and creative conflicts, but has reunited repeatedly for tours, promotional appearances, etc.
