Loverboy was my expected favorite going into the show last night, but the night belonged to Arrested Development (with CC a close second because of her strong voice). Tiffany's voice was "off" on her classic, but I only really liked "Could've Been" from her. I didn't care for the Flock much.

And, in my opinion, Mike Reno sang "Hero" much better than Enrique's shaky voice.

OMG, Mak, is there a treatment for this? Don't anyone tell me to turn off my TV, look where I'm posting, for the love of God!

Maybe I'll be sleepless until next week's show...

LOL! If there is a treatment, I haven't found it yet! Jed245 once had a thread on Songs That Are Stuck in Your Head, or something like that. He tormented me a couple times with that very song, lol.

Mak, anyone that perused that "Songs That Get Stuck In Your Head" thread was playing with fire... living on the edge!

So funny about the songs running thru your heads--because I awakened today with "Finally" running through mine---and inflicted it upon Vacanick today to rid myself of it. Try leaving the lyrics in someone's folder (like an old fruitcake that keeps changing hands)!

Yes, I should have known better, Bonza.

HP, I'm not sure if that's evil or funny. If it works, I'm all for it, heehee! It can't be evil, because it can always be passed on, right?

This sounded like a fun concept, but when I watched it, WOW was it BAD. The group that won was really the only good one, everyone else definitely had that has-been kind of vibe.

Herck & Mak - that lyrics "tag-you're-it" idea is both evil and funny.... I love it!

WTF? Is this the begin of the Apocalypse? Highest rating in TWO YEARS? What is going on?

I tuned in to this show thinking it was going to be a train wreck no one was watching. To know millions of others were watching seems kind of scary. Are that many people still interested in music from the 80's?

Let's all say a pray for Arrested Development and hope with this kind of exposure something good will come out of this for them.

If I remember correctly, there was absolutely nothing else on tv then, Scorp. Of course, it doesn't count that I watched, since I'm outside of the preferred age demographic.

Well, you have to go by the letter of what they said. "highest 18-49 rating for a new summer unscripted series premiere in almost two years."

What other new and unscripted summer series have premiered in the last two years? Big Brother? :-) Seems like most of the others have either already been around or didn't premier as summer series. That would make it pretty easy to say this was a big winner.

It's all in how you spin it, baby! :-)

how about the fact that NBC really hasn't put out anything that great in the past 2 years - all their good shows have ended in the past few years.

i missed this because my daughter graduated from high school on thursday night. is it going to be on again? also, was flock of seagulls on? i actually met them at a bar in cincinnati in the late 70's or early 80's, its all a blur :-). too funny--the dude with the weird hair actually had his hair like that. and i talked to him and the guy with the big glasses. that's my claim to fame :-).

Congratulations, Shelb and daughter!

They didn't mention repeating the first episode, but there are two more episodes. Flock of Seagulls was on. They sounded bad. The guy with the weird hair wore a baseball cap with a ponytail hanging out the back. I can't say for sure, but the ponytail could have been attached to the hat, lol. It's interesting he dared to be seen in public with that 'do! There's a picture of them on the NBC website, here: Hit_Me_Baby Oh, and the former weird hair guy/lead singer has gained a couple pounds. Let us know if he has changed any since you met him.

eta: I was just reading about Hit Me Baby on the NBC site and learned that Tiffany won the British version of the show. I wonder who her competition was?

Since I was wondering, I checked out the British Hit Me website at itv.com. According to them, Tiffany won the Week 1 show, but the Final winner was Shakin' Stevens. Bad reporting, NBC!

In her first UK round she was up against Limahl (who I had a HUGE crush on), Howard Jones (who I had a minor crush on), Gloria Gaynor, and The Honeyz (never heard of them). I would seriously have paid money to see Limahl and Howard Jones again, I wish I'd know before it was on then I'd have got my family to tape it.

They sound a little like Destiny's Child. A couple of their hits were Won't Take it Lying Down and Never Let You Down.

LISTEN TO HONEYZ SONGS

Shakin' Stevens? Man, it's been ages since I've heard mention of him.

Max: Thanks for calming me down by pointing out what I initially didn't clue into. :-)

Shelb,

I believe they are airing the show on Bravo. It was on yesterday at some point on Bravo and I think they had listed for other airings on Bravo according to Tivo.
