But Do They Want a Song on the Album? - The boys try their hardest to make Clive consider them better songwriters than Diane Warren. It doesn't work out exactly the way they planned it in their heads. |

Anyone Can Play Guitar - Jacob and Ashley become the musical equivalents of John and Paul. John Mahoney and Paul Reiser, that is. Lou pretends to be the soft pillow the boys can cuddle up to again. The whole episode is really that gross. |

Trevor Chest
A Very Unbelievable Episode - A little happiness, a little sadness, one or two pretty good upper-body close-ups, and a lot of bloated narrative about a relationship even the people in it don't want to talk about that much. And nine cumulative seconds of music. It's very unbelievable fun for your whole very unbelievable family. |

Death Takes a Holliday
Missed America - Never having actually lived in this century, an incredulous Clive Davis can't seem to figure out why five random young men put on a stage in front of a national audience fail to kill. He deploys a brand-new management team and vocal coach to threaten the five boys with obscurity and public humiliation. Hi. This show airs on Friday night and this band sucks. Don't they already have both of those things? |

O-Town on All My Children
O-Town on All My Children - Firing up those Emmy campaigns, Ashley makes his acting debut and Susan Lucci single-handedly earns the statuette by pretending -- badly, but that's okay -- that O-Town is a hot new talent in the music industry. Singing ensues. |
