“The Next Great American Band”
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The folks who bring you “American Idol” want to give you “The Next Great American Band.”
On Oct. 19, Fox will air the first show of the series. Putting this on Friday night doesn’t exactly bode well for the series. No one will remember it come Monday, so there’s not likely to be much watercooler chatter about the contestants.
Do we really need another “Idol” rip-off, even if it’s the “Idol” people ripping off their own creation? Like “Idol,” the freaky, talent-deficient wannabes are likely to be more entertaining than the earnest wannabes. Will you be tuning in? Will anyone, other than the contestants’ families and friends? Do you know anyone competing?
