Critic Reviews
Nov 28, 2019
Season 1 Review:
"Making the Band" is "The Monkees" meets MTV's "The Real World" and "Road Rules." What a concept...The big surprise is, it works. [24 March 2000]

Season 1 Review:
The premiere is tender and seductive. [24 March 2000, p.F2]

Season 1 Review:
Making the Band proves highly watchable. This story of a bubblegum band gives you something to chew on. [24 March 2000]

Season 1 Review:
Enticing. [19 March 2000, p.3]

Season 1 Review:
Even if all eight continue to be as fresh-scrubbed and downright agreeable as they seem tonight, Making the Band already promises to capture a thrill of victory/agony of defeat ethos that's irresistible to the average dreamer. [24 March 2000]

Season 1 Review:
Sick as it sounds, this should be fun. [24 March 2000, p.1E]

Season 1 Review:
Unlike The Real World, Making The Band has far more hopeful, giddy moments where you can't help but root for these guys to make it. [24 March 2000, p.1E]

Season 1 Review:
It worked for the Monkees. Maybe it'll work for O-Town. The concept is almost the same. [24 March 2000, p.E-11]

Season 1 Review:
A stylish mix of candid documentary film and talking-to-the-camera interviews, the show looks like "The Real World" for a reason; it has the same producers. Musical scenes of the auditions and of dance and vocal practices become sharply edited mini-music videos; another producer is MTV.

Season 1 Review:
It may not be great TV, but it most definitely is now. Think of it as "Who Wants to Marry a Multimillion-Dollar Contract." [24 March 2000]

Season 1 Review:
It is revealing in its accidental way and, like the boy bands, rates as harmless diversion. [23 March 2000]

Season 1 Review:
Slick, mindlessly entertaining. [24 March 2000]

Season 1 Review:
For those who can't stomach the syrupy sounds of today's boy bands, consider this your warning. The program is full of the kind of sugarcoated songs that dominate today's pop charts. [24 March 2000, p.C07]

Season 1 Review:
This show looks less like a TV series and more like an attraction at Disney World. ("Hey boys and girls, it's Testosterone Land!") [24 March 2000]

Season 1 Review:
While the young girls who follow these boy bands may be fascinated,
their parents are likely to be alternately touched and horrified.
These young men are so hopeful, so eager, so openly and innocently
ambitious. And if you watch, you'll see how easily some of them
are crushed...Tell me why that's entertaining. [24 March 2000]

Season 1 Review:
Stranger things have happened, but it's going to take some powerful wizardry to whip Making the Band into must-see TV. [24 March 2000]
