At the height of the boy band craze (although, did it ever really leave?), MTV decided to naturally capitalize by making a TV movie (their first original one), which spawned a television series. It was an intelligent parody with each “traditional” boy band role covered (the cute one, the shy one, the bad boy, and the older brother) with songs that straddled on the border of satire and cheese, and actually spawned albums that cracked the Billboard Hot 200. Had the premature death of one of the members (Michael Cuccione: The “Cute One”) not have taken place, it is conceivable that their run would have been longer, but does not a boy band have a shelf life anyway?

Why you should vote for him them:
For a hot minute, this was actually successful.

Once that minute ended, they were quickly forgotten; much like the boy bands they spoofed.
