Horrendous show that even the tweens won't eat up.
SuperTacos1927 September 2008
The Naked Brothers Band was a 2005 indie movie that, well, sucked. Nickelodeon was out of their mind and agreed to turn the movie into an equally bad show. The main focus of the show is obviously the band, but you have to wonder how they get a show when the lead singer sounds like he hasn't developed at all and the instrumentalists are mediocre. It really raises an eyebrow when you find out that the drummer and singer are the producer's kids, but anywhom...

Each episode is compromised of some wacky situation the 8-14 year old kids get into. Almost every one of said scenarios ties into the "I won't admit it" relationship between the 11-year-old singer and the high school-aged bassist, the lone female of the group. You have to admit, what they've got going for them is actually pretty sweet and you'll find yourself rooting for them on occasion - but of course, cringe-worthy lines such as "No, I love YOU, Rosalina!" said to a video on a camcorder of said girl ruin it all.

An important question to ask is who IS this show's target audience? The show has crude humor and slapstick for the 4-7 year olds and sitcom situations leaning more towards the 8-11 Hannah Montana crowd, but the show's mildly sexual inappropriateness is too much for both of those age groups. And the show airs on Nickelodeon's TEENick block but it is far too juvenile for said group. Whoever this show is intended for, I highly doubt they would enjoy it, even in an age where bands like the Jonas Brothers are force-fed to young children by the media. The Naked Brothers Band rates as a 2 out of 10.

poor, vapid, disappointing
bdwilner7 January 2008
There is precious little justification for this show being on the air other than that Polly Draper has sufficient power--and/or that Nickelodeon is sufficiently one-horse--that merely wanting her cute sons to have their own "television show" was enough to "make it so," to quote Captain Picard. I tried watching an episode of NBB as part of my ongoing experiment to determine why Nick and Disney aren't shut down by the federal government. What, pray tell, do these kids do other than mugg for the camera; change T-shirts every four seconds; and try to act forty years older than they are? There is nothing entertaining, intriguing, or endearing about the program. Even the name, frankly, is enough to catch in the throat of a religious rightist, and I'm surprised it hasn't yet. (Then again, the "Cory in the House" episode where two adult men were found hiding in the same bed seems to have sneaked past the religious right, so who am I to say "boo"?) You know, Nat reminds me of that fellow on "Fried Dynamite"--is that the name of Cartoon Network's brief live diversions--who possesses that grating voice and, once again, tries at the tender age of twelve to convince his teenybopper (or, more likely, six-year-old) viewers that he is "hot," "cool," "sexy," and such--as if they could begin to grasp those concepts.

Did I forget to mention that the young gentleman have zero musical talent? Nat's "songs" typically contain two or three lines of vacuous text and a chordal progression that a Sumerian would consider unacceptably primitive, while any six-year-old tattooing with a pencil on the breakfast table can outpace Alex's "drumming." Good grief!

I tried this one more time, just to give it a fair shake. Would you believe (are you securely strapped down?) that Nat and Alex were discussing ... dog poop. They wanted a puppy, but their dad wouldn't allow it, so they were stuck with an Internet e-puppy, which doesn't poop. This led to a detailed discussion of whether poop is disgusting; whether they would willingly clean up after their dog; and whether they should borrow their friend's Boston terrier, E.T. (I wouldn't lend those kids a Q-tip!) My Lord, how fr*ggingly disgustingly awful. This is, to be certain beyond the shadow of a doubting Thomas, the most alarmingly revolting drek ever to rear its face on a television set. O.K., so Nat is cute. Mazel tov: the fiends and the NAMBLA crowd can watch the show and revel at the gorgeous preteen.

All that's needed is a laugh track, and I'll take a 9mm Glock and blow my own head off.

Dumb Show
wadegilbrech14 April 2007
Warning: Spoilers
This show is absolutely horrible. The reason I put 4 stars is because their music is decent. The ideas are POINTLESS. I hope a good show comes out of Nick because Drake and Josh is ending. They are not a real band, if they were they'd have a record and be on tour. But don't worry, the show won't last more than a couple seasons cause the the kids will get older. I want to stop writing but you have to have 10 lines...I think Polly Draper and her husband wanted their children to be famous like them so they made a show just like the Monkees and Hannah Montana. I don't know what little kids and tweens are going to do now. There are no more good shows on Nick like there were a couple years back. Well I guess that's the end of my review.

Stupefying
aabonander31 March 2007
Warning: Spoilers
I challenge anyone to find a worse show than this one - in the history of television. I am actually dumbfounded that there is at least one exec (and, more astonishing a whole team) at Nick that felt comfortable putting this on the air. I know they are kids but that shouldn't exclude them from meeting even the lowest standards. Mary Kate & Ashley had more talent in their "You Got It Dude" at 9 months than these two tweenie bopping twits (Nat & Alex) can probably ever hope to have. I can't dis on the kids too much - you can't blame them for saying yes to their own show, however ill equipped they may be. I blame the adults involved; the execs at Nick and Viacom for forcing this putrid caricature of a - I can't even bring myself to call it a sitcom. I'm thinking of taking up a class action suit against Nick for impeding my mental health and intellectual development while watching this "show". Now who's with me?

I think Comic Book Guy would appropriately describe this as: Worst Show Ever

Don't waste your time

Warning: Spoilers
This show tells of the life of a "rock band" led by Nat and Alex Wolf. In the show, the Naked Brothers Band is the hugest and most popular band while in reality the message boards are filled with hate mail. I can understand little kids liking this show, wishing they meet these kids but if you're older the age of 9 and like them then come on. This show really is annoying and it makes me wonder how these kids got a TV contract and a record deal. There songs are just plain bad. Songs about banana smoothies and "long distance relationships" are not likely to hit Billboard's Hot 100 anytime soon. If you like this show, good for you. I don't care if you think the Naked Brothers Band is the greatest thing ever made. I just feel that Nickelodeon has started to go down hill and this is there all-time low.

Horrible !!!
hreidiii7 February 2007
Warning: Spoilers
After my friend was obsessing over how much she loves Nat and the show, I decided to watch the "Awards/Horoscopes" episode on TV.

I was a bit shocked at how bad this was. There was terrible acting and unrealistic, with a bad storyline. It seemed as though the episode was filmed and thrown together in 2 days by 8 year olds. I didn't like the idea of the cameras being shown either.

The storyline was bad, since they were all scared about their horoscopes then all of a sudden out of nowhere they are at the awards and they win? Sure, I think Nat Wolf is sorta cute, but he is seriously one of those people who can't sing. I would not recommend watching this show.

WHAT IS HAPPENING TO NICKOLODEON THESE DAYS ?!?!?!

Is this anybodies favorite show???
lowe_stephen13 February 2007
Warning: Spoilers
There is so much I hate about this show, I'm not sure where to begin. First of all, who the hell names their band "The Naked Brothers Band"? I realize with modern rock going quickly down the drain, bad names (Green Day, My Chemical Romance, you all know what bands I mean) are completely necessary to accompany the bad music, but this band skipped so many generations of crappy music and went straight to, I dunno, probably 2025, at the earliest, both in terms of their music and name. I guess it's okay that the singer sucks, because, y'know, that's all it really takes to be famous nowadays. Alex is possibly the DULLEST drummer of all time. He sits there with droopy eyes and barely lifts his hands as he moves with a constant beat from one drum to another. The bassist can't really ever be heard, so I guess I can't really trash her talent. Anyway, lastly, the guitarist. He is the only halfway decent member of the band, if you can even call him halfway decent. The guitar solo at the end of that really bad song "Catch Up With The End" was okay, but it's not really anything special. Hundreds of guitarists who are intelligent enough to wait until their OLDER to try and become famous musicians can do much, much, better. Also, Nat Wolff=bad songwriter. They say he writes complicated and deep lyrics. Well, WHAT FAMOUS SONGWRITER DOESN'T?!?!?!?! Besides the "complexity" and "deep...ness?" that his songs don't really have, his tunes are also lacking the rock 'n' roll "feel" that even modern rock songs have.

Alright, now that I'm done trashing the "band", I'll continue to the actual topic of this review: the show. I suppose it is just typical of Nickelodeon to pull another sucktacular show like this off. What really sets this show apart, though, is that the actors don't even try to act. And it's not just the acting. Lemme just list you some of the other things that irked me about this show in the first episode alone:

1. Buttface is not a funny word. I went around at school today and actually said it to hundreds of people. You most certainly cannot always count on buttface getting you a laugh or two, so just shut your mouth Mr. Lopez.

2. If a teenage girl thinks your fart noises are funny, you shouldn't be proud of it, so STOP DOING IT!!!

3. Nobody expresses what they think is funny by saying "That's funny." and barely letting out a chuckle to accompany it, Rosalina.

4. Some kid: Hey Nat, we're recording these butt shots for the music video.

Nat: Why?

Some kid: Don't you get it? Catch up with the "end"? As in rear end.

Thank you some kid for explaining the already bad joke to us, especially after making it perfectly obvious what you meant when you accented the word "end" in that previous sentence.

5. If you think something is laugh out loud hilarious, most people wouldn't express it by opening their mouth as wide as possible and having no expression on your face other than that (I'm referring to the part when the German lady starts beating up her husband/grandson, I couldn't tell which). 6. The scene where Alex is running around on the set in a chicken costume is not funny. Why even the adults were feigning hysterical laughter is beyond me.

I've been spending quite a bit of time reading the user reviews for Nickelodeon's other tour de crap, Drake And Josh, and am quite honestly appalled at how many good reviews it get, but I sincerely hope that no more than 1% (including the cast & crew themselves) become a fan of this show, because there is not one good part.

Very, very, very bad. 1/10

Nick's Answer to Hannah Montana
sunvalleysax4 November 2007
When Microsoft came out with it's iPod killer, what happened. Nothing! Apple's iPod continued to dominate the music world! Just the same with The Naked Brothers Band! It's Nick's answer to Hannah Montana, which in my opinion is WAY better than this show. Come on, Crazy Car?!?!?! That's a song? Let's get real! There's no message and no connections to the song at all! I can't believe this show has lasted this long! Hannah Montana makes more sense than this. I Miss You was a song of which in the show allowed Miley to tell her mother she misses her. Way better. Maybe I just dislike the fact that tweens are creating ear-bleeding music. But I must say, The Naked Brothers Band is by far the WORST show I've ever seen and there music is the WORST music I've ever heard.

It's for kids, so let them be the judge
stiener25 February 2007
My nephew really loves this show, he waits excitedly all week to see a new episode. I've even watched it, and I don't think it's horrible like others are saying on here. It's a kids show, and we adults have to remember that, and not put it up against more adult shows. Don't you remember being a kid and loving programs that your parents considered corny? I hope this show is successful and stays on the air, especially for my nephew's sake. It's kind of like how as a kid I liked Full House and Clarissa Explains It All, sure many people would say how terrible those shows are, but as a kid they were very entertaining (not too mention clean, and without violence, which is hard to find these days) and watching them today still brings back good memories. So give this show a chance or at least let the kids give this show a chance.

I threw up after the first episode.
gaio_blade17 April 2007
Warning: Spoilers
If i could rate this any lower than a 1, I would have. This show is horrible! Here's a few reasons:

1. The guitarist (Qaasim is his name I think) is a Jimi Hendrix impersonator, and a horrible one at that. In the first video, he even had the afro!

2. Rosalina's name isn't even Rosalina in real life! It's Allie (unless it's for Rose-ALLIE-na).

3. The music is horrible. They're all wannabes, and Nat's singing is a combination of the Beatles and Michael Jackson. OK apart, but a bad combo.

4. WHAT MORON THINKS THAT THEIR LINES AREN'T COMPLETELY SCRIPTED?!?!?! I understand that it's supposed to be like their lives are completely documented by stalker cameramen, but they can at least try to be natural about it. In one of the three episodes I've seen, Nat tries to be amazed at Alex's ability to cry on cue (which isn't even real; he uses eye drops). It's like he's having a freakin' panic attack! A hint for people over the age of five: DO NOT WATCH THIS SHOW. You will want to blow up your TV's if you do, no lie.

Allow me to add a few things here. First off all, to all you people who say "If you hate the show, why watch it?", think of it this way. Some people realize that the first and/or pilot episode is sometimes bad, and they give it another chance. I saw 3 episodes and have not watched it since. So there. Second, I hate the show, but I do understand that little kids like it. Just answer one question: Why is it on TeenNick?

Talented Kids and Family
AnnieTigerChucky29 January 2014
Growing up I was a huge fan of the band. Nat is a gifted and prodigious singer-songwriter and keyboardist. Alex is a talented and prodigious drummer. Some of my favorite songs by them growing up included, but not limited to, "Catch Up With the End", "I Indeed Can See", "Nowhere (I Miss My Family)", "Girl of My Dreams", "Proof of My Love", "I've Got a Question", "Your Smile", and "No Night is Perfect".

Their mother, award-winning actress Polly Draper was the star of ABC's hit television drama 'thirtysomething' and created, wrote, ran (as executive producer), and directed the Naked Brothers show; their father, the successful jazz pianist/recording artist Michael Wolff, former band leader of the original Arsenio Hall Show, produced and supervised the music and appeared as their dad on the show. (The show also produced two charting soundtrack albums and Nat and Alex wrote all the music; their father produced it).

I had the chance of receiving an autograph by the brothers in the mail in August 2007 (through a jazz saxophonist who is friends with my parents), asked the family a question at the TimesCenter Stage in January 2008 (which can be seen on YouTube), won an online contest to appear as an extra on their show, and met the family backstage after their concert a few months later. They are exceptionally nice people.

The show was one of the biggest shows on Nickelodeon (the premiere in January 2007 produced Nickelodeon's highest ratings in 7 years for kids aged 6-11) and was canceled in June 2009 (after 3 seasons) because the network wanted to extend the summer-filmed seasons from 13 episodes to 60. Polly and Michael wanted them in regular school "to keep them exposed to the real world."

The boys are now in big-time, theatrical movies. Nat was recently in a movie called "Admission" with Tina Fey (who everyone thinks looks like Polly), and Alex is going to be starring in a movie alongside Brendan Fraiser next month called "Hairbrained" which won Alex Best Actor at the Brooklyn Film Festival this year.

Sources claim that Polly is writing and directing a new film and Oscar-winner Fred Roos, of The God Father Part II fame, will be producing it.

This show is so unique from others because it portrayed talented kids writing their own music. Nat and Alex are also the youngest artists ever to receive a BMI (Broadcast Music Incorporated) Cable Award in 2007.

Not as bad as I thought
annalealyon-118 February 2007
Well first of all, this show is not as bad as I thought it would be! I thought it was going to be the most stupid thing I have ever seen, but in my opinion, it really wasn't. I rate it a 6 because it is really okay. It's not something I would just tune everything out so I could watch it, but it's definitely something I can handle. It might not be the best actors and everything, but it's really an okay show. I think it's unique and that's what makes it likable. I know many people don't think this is a good idea, but a lot of kids do enjoy it. So before anyone says on a kids level this is bad, maybe you should ask a few. I know some kids that love this show!

This is a reality show?
MairegChernet6 June 2008
I was reading the comments written by IMDb users for this tittle, and one user wrote that we should let kids be the judges, since it's a kids show. So I thought I am the perfect judge for the show since I happen to be close to being a kid. And here is my verdict. THIS SHOW SUCKS. Sometimes I find myself questioning the authenticity of this show. Is this truly a reality show based on real people and a real band Or is nickelodeon running out of good shows and just putting any crap on? The actors attempts to make the show real is just beyond belief and desperate. The characters are all annoying. Especially the little naughty one who has a crush on his babysitter(I don't know or care to know his name). This is by far one of the worst shows on Nick. And don't take my word for it. I have little cousins of ages 7 and 10 and they can't stand this show either. Horrible, irritating, unrealistic and far from authentic.

Absolutely terrible..
horsefiend2 April 2008
Warning: Spoilers
I don't know how people can compare this piece of tripe to the Monkees or the Partridge Family. Both of those shows were fun, silly programs geared towards kids where the music was actually decent. The NBB is an annoying show showcasing some obnoxious kids with NO musical talent. The songs are ridiculous, and the show is vapid. How come everything out there for children today has to be stupid to be entertaining? People wonder why children grow up to have such low cultural standards, is it any surprise with the junk we fill their heads with from toddler hood to teenage years? I think Polly Draper meant for NBB to be another pre-fabricated tween music group, with the show as the "after thought" - but she missed the boat by a mile with this one. Usually kid's groups are well groomed for talent, but I guess when your own kids are making up the group...you just assume the talent is there.

It's funny...how bad this show is.
Clay-Pigeon11 February 2007
Seriously, even by children's television standards this show is badly produced. It's a really a shame that the same network that delivered "Ned's Declassified", which features some of the most talented young comedic actors I've ever seen, is now giving us "The Naked Brothers Band", which features THE worst child actors ever! Okay, so maybe they're not really actors, they're really a young amateur music band and that's why they're not good at acting...then why give them their own TV show that requires them to, you know, act?! Makes no sense. Even the guest cast is talentless. I'm guessing the band is getting their real-life friends parts on the show. Who knows what Nickelodeon was thinking. I'm guessing they thought the fact that these kids have been making music since they were toddlers was a cute enough of a gimmick that it warranted a movie and TV show based on them. Too bad they neglected that fact that almost everything else sucks from their music to their acting to the ridiculous name. And as someone else mentioned, why is this show on the TEENick block? Why would teenagers or even preteens want to see a show about a bunch of little kids? Because the show has rock music (if that's what you want to call it)? I really doubt older kids are going to dig their brand of music. If this show reaches any degree of success then it confirms my belief that Nickelodeon's young viewers really are as brain dead as I think they are.

Haha. Is this a joke?
j_man8083 February 2007
Not only is this some of the worst acting I've ever seen by a bunch of little kids, but it's the worst acting coupled with the terrible so-called "rock music" that makes this a crappy show. It seemed like most of the humor was way too contrived and one-sided for even children to enjoy (I mean "cement grapes", come on!). Don't get me wrong, these kids have potential musically, but just because they're young and can play four chords over and over again doesn't mean they should get more publicity than a possible cast of truly talented slightly older musicians. This could've potentially been a decent movie/series had the kids hit puberty (the singers voice is unbearable) and if they played some decent music, unlike that mainstream pop wannabe rock that they're playing.

By far the worst thing that Nick has come up with
lilsislg9 February 2007
Warning: Spoilers
okay just to keep it simple. this movie sucked. big time. the only reason why i am still writing is because there is a minimum of ten lines. that movie was just bad. i can't believe that this is a kids' show. that kid Nat can not sing. the drummer, he is cute and all, but some of his lines totally make it hard to believe that his character is only 6. why would nick even make this show? obviously, they were jealous of the success that Hannah Montana got and they figured "Hey Lets make a show about kids that are famous" It didn't work. This show is a disgrace to Nick's reputation and they should just cancel it before people stop watching their channel, or they start rioting in front of the studio chanting "dOWN WITH NAKED BROTHerS!"

I don't know which is worse, watching this show or having a brain hemorrhage!
TheLittleSongbird4 April 2011
I try not to be nasty when I write reviews, but my utter hatred of The Naked Brothers Band clouds my better judgement. It is not only one of my least favourite shows ever, it is my least favourite show of all time period. The production values for one thing are really cheap. The fashions look as though they belong in the 70s or 80s and they are really bad fashions at that, while the sets are tacky and cheap and the photography and camera angles are rushed and shoddy.

Even the music is poor in my opinion. The theme tune is just fast in tempo and loud in volume, with nothing really to make it memorable, whereas the accompanying music is half-heartedly performed, unoriginal and dull. But it is the writing, characters and stories that sink The Naked Brothers Band. Starting with the writing, not only is it for me never funny but also it is written with no heart or energy.

The stories are poorly paced and predictable with unimaginative situations. Not only that, the show often has the feel of a really bad reality show. And I hate all the characters, every single one of them. In my mind, none of them are likable, instead they are loud, annoying, clichéd and little more than bland stereotypes. Even their names make me want to punch the wall in frustration.

The direction is often lazy too, while the acting is poor with no chemistry whatsoever between the actors, no sense of comic timing and poorly judged delivery of the lines. Overall, an awful show and one of my least favourite shows ever. If I were you, I would skip this and watch something like Sonny with a Chance instead. 1/10 Bethany Cox

Anybody else reminded of the Monkees???
kb2uoe17 February 2007
Yes, I'm a grownup, and yes, I monitor what my 7 1/2 year old watches. He is IN LOVE with the Naked Brothers Band. He knows it's not reality. On the other hand, I remember watching the Monkees, way back when, as a kid of about his age. I thought it could be real, these 4 guys who "really played" their instruments, lived in this great house, and had all sorts of adventures. They always ended up either running after or from something, fighting a villain, or falling in love. Usually all three! The Naked Brothers Band isn't about acting, it's about the kids. Nat and Rosalina, Jesse and Alex, the rest of the group. Dad is goofy, but not made fun of. I like that. There's enough slick programming for kids out there that use product placement, mean comments, cloaked prejudice and/or racism, and all sorts of other stuff. This is just what it is. Funny, clean, and geared for the 7-14 age group. It ain't rocket science. But who's looking for that on a Saturday night? I know that there are a lot of people out there trashing the Naked Brothers Band, you won't find that in our house!

Oh Gah.
Zombixtb23 August 2007
I think this show appeals to grown-ups and girls more than kids and boys. The show contains horrible and cheesy jokes with some crazy kids thinking that their funny.

Some people think their cute and I think their cute too but I don't think they should make a show about something like this.

I mean, a show about a bunch of kids who have a bad taste in music and plays brainwashing stuff. The genre of music they play just wreaks for today's teens and preteens.

One more thing I would like to add, "WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?" - James Angry Nintendo Nerd.

Disagree
angelcns4-118 February 2007
I totally disagree with the other comment! The naked bros band is a great movie. The kids are great actors and actresses, I think will be successful. The NBB is a love story/drama/music, I have a 12 and 9 year old daughters and they love the show. They think Nat and Alex are wonderful, I do to. Kids these days are not brain dead just because they love a television show. To the person who wrote the other comment... You are a very crude person. I bet that if that band would read your comment then that would break their heart. Do you like hurting little kids? Thank you for listening. And remember that The Naked Brothers band Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a mom of an 8 year old boy who loves the show. When the music comes on he gets up and dances. I watched the episodes before the movie. I do want to correct one poster's comment on Quasseem. The first video that is shot (in the original movie) there is a young black boy with an Jimi Hendrix afro. But it's not Quasseem. It's a friend of theirs named Cole who had moved to Conn. He was a founding member of the band. (It had formed while Nat was in preschool.) But like I said he had moved. Years later, when Nat and Alex wanted to get back to the original roots of the Naked Brothers Band, they asked Cole to join them. This kid obviously is no longer in the band. I have no idea when and how Quaseem joined. There is also another kid that's in the band in the movie but no longer in the series. Forgot his name.

I liken this show to the Partridge Family which I loved as a child. I had the hugest crush on David Cassidy. In fact, the recent episode where Nat and Alex wrote the same song remind of the PF episode when Danny and Keith wrote the same song.

Utter Trash
rich6742 July 2007
Warning: Spoilers
I have only seen two "Naked Brothers Band" episodes. While I won't complain as in-depth as some of the others on here have, I am not going to brush away the fact that I agree with them. The show itself has absolutely no plot, boundary or direction that I can find. It is one of these shows where you are incapable of comprehending what is going on. Kids are running around and screaming throughout primarily a house, and cracking jokes that are intended to be funny. To me, this show should not be hosted on "Teen Nick" but rather on "Nick Jr." It's 'attitude' is for little kids. No teenager, such as me - age 14, is going to sit and watch kids run around a house and scream and get into gross and dirty situations. I wouldn't do any of that and apparently I am a year or two older than all of them.

This show seems to be of a set of children who got lucky and spoiled due to having some impressive musical abilities. Fine - leave that be. No need to have camera crews following them around in a "self proclaimed" reality show. This show is staged. Unreal. Kids a year or two younger than me don't act like this, I didn't and neither did any of the kids I knew at the time. The surroundings in this show seem to be loony, fake, unreal and too booming. That is actually the whole problem with this show - too booming. It is loud, incomprehensible and unable to be understood. There is NO plot, or direction in where the episode it headed. It jumps from one thing to another. While some people enjoy this show, it may be because you can see the enjoyment younger children find in this, though at teenage years, this is really utter trash.

On the music side of the boat, it too is horrid. They claim this "noise" is 'rock n' roll.' It is nothing of the sort - nowhere near rock. To me it sounds like a school instrumental. I have seen similar performances in an elementary school play. One child sings while other may join him in some of the lines and play instruments. Things like this can be learned in school. Nat has too high of a voice to get the "rock" attitude down too. He sounds almost similar to a feminine voice. The music always seems to have the same "down in the dumps" tone and rhythm.

I rate this show a one out of ten, because personally, I find nothing in shows like this interesting or worth watching. It is utter trash. But I guess interest is in the eye's of the beholder - just like the "beauty is in the eye's of the beholder" saying. I don't care for this show and probably never will. And you know this show will be canceled shortly because the kid's will grow. Notice how it already doesn't seem to have a valid, official time schedule. Anyways, that is just my opinion.

Warning: Spoilers
When I first saw the commercials for this show I thought "Ok so another show to try and get the ratings up for Nick." So I watched the show. THE MUSIC MADE MY EARS BLEED AND THE SHOW HAD MY EYES BLIND! What is this "Rock" music they speak off. I listen to rock every day and this is not even close to it. I don't think it should even be under Indie because it is so horrible. Nick needs to look at this show and take it off. My 7 year old sister likes one of the guys and this is meant for teens?!? I did some research on the band and Roselina's real name is Allie. And why is the "maniger" not doing anything except siting there half the time?!? This show is so fake and sad.

It Has Potential, but right now it's pretty crap
s_hannagan_YMP16 January 2008
I have received a lot of support from both Fans and 'Haters' of the show after releasing my review of NBB Season 1. I would post it here, but it is too big so i will briefly sum it up.

This show has a lot of potential, whether you like the show/cast or not. However numerous things need to be done before this potential is released. Most Importantly, Polly Draper should step down as director, and eventually producer and such, it will ruin her sons careers. Next Equal screen time needs to be given the other members of the cast. Their Songs need to be worked on, there are some good ones, but a lot are pretty bad.

To see the report in full it has been posted in the forum what is written above is a very very brief summary of the report.
