'Mission: Man Band': seriously?

I heard Color Me Badd's "I Wanna Sex You Up" on the 90s channel on satellite radio on my drive in to work, and it reminded me that I wanted to look up the details of the show Mission: Man Band. The show premieres on VH1 on Monday and follows four former boy-banders -- Chris Kirkpatrick (N*SYNC); Jeff Timmons (98 Degrees); Rich Cronin (LFO) and Bryan Abrams (Color Me Badd) -- as they try to re-create some of their fame in a new format.

According to the VH1 web site, the guys "will live together for one month, create new music, a dynamic stage show and perform as a new pop group."

It could really go in any of several directions -- it could be interesting watching them try to make it once again, it could be a total train wreck, or it could be totally boring.

What I do know for sure is that the title is uber-goofy.

About Sarah Kelber

Sarah Kickler Kelber, an editor in the features department since 1999, got sucked into reality TV with the first episode of MTV's The Real World in 1992. Then came Survivor and American Idol, and suddenly, the genre was everywhere. She started blogging about it for The Baltimore Sun in January 2006 and has logged more hours watching and writing about such shows as Dancing With the Stars, Big Brother and, of course, Idol, than she'd like to admit.
