'Making the Band' offered a blueprint for how the singing-competition model could yield hits for both the music industry and the small screen
which debuted in 2000 at the height of the boy band craze. The premise was simple, smart, and, at the time, entirely novel: contestants would compete in a national talent search with a panel of judges led by Lou Pearlman, the record producer behind the Backstreet Boys and NSYNC, all for the chance to become the newest pop sensation.
The show’s first season produced the popular boy band O-Town, a quartet whose subsequent release of a platinum-selling debut album was no doubt due to the exposure they got from the show.
