The Next Great American Band
The group version of "American Idol," as the same producers (but new judges, including Sheila E. and Goo Goo Dolls' John Rzeznik) conduct a new musical star search.
| The Pitch: | It's like "American Idol". Only this time... we're getting the band back together, man! |
| When It’s On | Fridays at 8 PT/ET, Fox |
| When It Starts | Fri 10/19 |
| What It’s Up Against | 20/20 (ABC), Ghost Whisperer (CBS), Deal or No Deal (NBC) |
| Cliche-o-Meter | None |
| Fandom Factor | Lukewarm |
| Do Not Adjust Your Set: | Playing the part of Randy, Paula, and Simon: The Goo Goo Dolls' John Rzeznik, Shelia E., and someone named Dicko. |
| Why It Will Be First To Go: | "Because it used to be about the music, man!" |
| Why It Won't: | Because why shouldn't "American Idol's" campaign to blandify pop music move from solo acts to groups unimpeded? |
| Odds of Failure: | 10-1 |
