AMERICAN BANDSTAND 2008


WHY NOT BRING BACK THE SHOW AND HAVE IT COMPETE AGAINST AMERICAN IDOL? THAT WOULD BE QUITE MATCHUP.

reply

I'd love to see the show return. Hopefully in its true format, a dance show/comp.
Being a true 50's "Sock Hop" buff, I'd love to see new artists carry on the tradition of true Rock and Roll and Classic Rock. As well as current artists covering some oldies and songs of such. Kind of the same format in "American Dreams"

Let's hear you shout outs for hosts? Female or male!!

My first thoughts are:
Danny McNulty (Boy Meets World)if he is still acting or wants to host.
Rider Strong
LeAnn Rhimes
ME??
Billy Bush
Ryan Seacrest (As long as he doesn't use "Seacrest out")
Fred Savage

here are the requirements the host should be under 35, and have some knowledge of the era and music and most importantly the "IT" factor. In this case a "tvv personality."

thats all the people I could think of right now.

reply

Carson Daly or Ryan Seacrest would be the host if anybody.

I really wish they would bring back American Bandstand with its old format of kids dancing to current hits and stars/up-and-coming stars singing their songs. It doesn't have to air in primetime, anytime would be great!

We don't have many music shows on nowadays. I think it would be wonderful to bring back Bandstand, but I heard they were making a new version of it as early as 2005. Nothing came out of it.

Dreaming is nice, but it's time to stop dreaming and start doing.
