2gether: The Series

I watched 2Ge+her, just for the reason that I thought it was about time people try to spoof the "Boy Bands". What a great job they did! Mickey (Alex Solowitz) is very funny with his whole bad boy act and he is also quite the hottie! Then there is Chad (Noah Bastain) who is very shy and a cutie in my opinion. Noah is probably the funniest one on the show. Then QT who is only doing this for the chicks (that's why he has the best moves). Jerry is the heart-throb and does a good job of it. Finally there is Doug, the older brother type. Most likely he is the backbone of the group with is intelligence and humour. Those guys are just a few reasons to watch the show! There are very funny one-liners on the show along with crazy dance moves and songs to go with them. All this to show that a bunch of misfits who have AMAZING voices, can form a boy band and make it big.

What an amazing group of actors! To pull off such outlandish characters is a task in itself. Then to add singing and dancing takes it up one more step. Noah Bastion does an amazing job acting as Chad, I don't think a funnier actor is on television today.

If this were a Saturday Night Live "David Spade Hollywood Minute," Spade's commentary would go a little like this: "I just saw the show '2gether' on Tuesday. I really enjoyed it the first time I saw it...when it was called 'The Monkees.'"

All jokes aside, this show does remind me of the Monkees in it's basic premise: a bunch of spunky young lads who don't play instruments get into wacky and comedic situations over the course of a half-hour, somehow also managing to fit in a musical number.

And also like the Monkees, they do their own singing. They've released albums. They've appeared on TV in character.

In the movie, we learned that there are five types of guy in every boy band: the shy one (Chad), the heartthrob (Jerry), the bad boy (Mickey), the cute one (Q.T.), and the big brother (Doug). In the show, we get to watch them take these roles to extremes. And they do it so well. This show even makes fun of itself, as in one episode we see the guys watching a show on MTV about a fake boy band and bashing the c**p out of it. And it's all very funny. Definitely a great show.

This show was all right but it also wasn't great to be honest. Some kind of amateur acting and the writing wasn't exactly to die for. Some pretty stupid stories and bad jokes that everyone could see coming a million miles away. Still much much MUCH better than most other shows on this pointless channel.

It's so sad that Michael Cuccione died, he was the second best one in the band (behind Chad of course). They're both such dorks!! In a good way, of course. The whole group just kinda disappeared after QT died. I love their music, the lyrics are hilarious. I liked how the show focused more on the guys than did the movie instead of talking about Bob Buss or whoever all the time. If anyone has tapes of the show, e-mail me; I may be willing to buy copies...
