Pop Stars with their own Animated/Live Action Kids' series
I would like to re-visit a thread I did many moons ago, when I talked about Pop stars having their own cartoon or live action shows, I wanna do a remastered and updated version of this. Here we go!
In the 1960's we had, The Beatles
and then, along came The Monkees
then in the 70s came, the Jackson 5
followed by their vanilla counterparts, The Osmonds
then came (former) Austrailian teen rock star, Rick Springfield
Mission: Magic! starring ...pringfield
and then, the Tartan plaid rockers from Scotland, the Bay City Rollers
Whom actually had 2 shows as a matter of fact
Shang-A-Lang & The Bay City Rollers Show
And in the 80s, there was Kidd Video
and in the 90s, came Kid N Play
and the one and only, New Kids on the Block
and MC Hammer came with Hammerman
Then by 2004, Japanese stars Puffy AmiYumi came with their own show
and then, the Jonas Brothers came with their own (short-lived) TV series called, "Jonas"
and then came Big Time Rush and there's rumors going around that a cartoon series just might be in the works as well.
and finally (for now) there's The Wanted with their own reality show on E! entitled, "The Wanted Life"

I think you've named all the ones I could think of. I remember the Bay City Rollers show.
What about The Hudson Brothers, do they count?
It's kind of amazing there was never a KISS cartoon... although I haven't seen "my dad the rock star" which looks like it could be loosely based on Gene-o.
And of course there is DETHKLOK which now tours and releases albums. That's a real life Monkees situation! Started the band to make a show and then it turns out people really like the band so it keeps going when the show is done.

I clicked on this thread cause I read the headline as "poRN stars with their own animated/live action kids' series." I was like, what the hell? "...literal people are scary, man literal people scare me out there trying to rid the world of its poetry while getting it wrong fundamentally down at the church of "look, it says right here, see!" - ani difranco | |
