Roller Skating Competition Show Coming To Max

A roller skating competition show is coming to Max! Is this something you'd be interested in watching?

It sounds like a show we never asked for but could it end up being entertaining? A trailer for "Roller Jam" was just released and it has the internet talking. The show that sounds like a blast from the past is set to debut on Max on Thursday, October 10th. It will reportedly have former American Idol alum Jordin Sparks as host and will be produced by "Fixer Upper" stars Chip and Joanna Gaines!

We've seen a lot of reality shows from building homes, to life as a celebrity, to eccentric dating shows, and now a roller skating competition? If you think The Masked Singer was unique wait until you check this out. It will be a 6-episode series that showcases some of the most talented roller skating crews in the country as they perform routines inspired by different decades. It sounds like it could be fun for the entire family. If watching roller skating is your version of "fun," of course.

According to People, the winner will receive $150,000 and be awarded a $10,000 donation to their local rink. 2-time US Olympian and national figure skating champion Johnny Weir, roller-skating legend Terrell Ferguson, and a celebrity guest will serve as judges. People reports those celebrity judges include Michelle Williams, Maureen McCormick, Pepa, Marissa Janet Winokur, Debbie Gibson, and Joanna Gaines, herself.

During the trending trailer, a voice can be heard saying, "This is the biggest thing in roller skate history. This is Roller Jam." I guess it has been a long time since we've gotten any roller skating content on our TV. There was that movie a long time ago Roll Bounce and Whip It, I forgot there have been a couple! It's been a while though so now it's trying to make a comeback. I'm a big fan of Chip and Joanna Gaines but more for what they do with homes or in the kitchen. I'm not sure about their background in roller skating or why they picked this but I can see it doing well with a certain demographic--just probably not me. You can check out the trailer for yourself below. What do you think? Is this something you would watch? Or will you stick to re-runs of "Fixer Upper?"

Some of the greatest bands of all time are actually fictional bands from movies and TV shows. If only we could actually see them perform live!

Over the years, there have been countless movies and TV shows focusing on bands that aren't actually real. Sometimes, it's quite obvious and comical, while other times, you might have had no idea it wasn't about a real band. They can be grounded in reality or over the top--there are examples of it all in your favorite pieces of entertainment. However, can we all agree we wish these five fictional bands from movies and TV were real?

Recently, I shared some examples of fictional food from movies and shows that look delicious. Now, it's time for some fictional bands. Not only are there shows and movies about fake bands, but there have also been several songs that were made specifically for these works of art. One of my favorite examples is "Scotty Doesn't Know" from the movie EuroTrip. It became a hit classic, but it's actually from a real band--so it can't make the list. Granted, the real band doesn't have Matt Damon on vocals, but I count them as non-fiction, nonetheless.

We've seen fictional bands in comedies, mockumentaries, dramas, and even in some animated shows. It can be a great way to create comedic situations or to parallel what real bands go through without having to worry about securing a band's rights or anything. I imagine that can be quite the process when you could simply invent a band instead.

When thinking about some of the fictional bands from movies and TV to add to the list, several came to mind right away. However, that doesn't necessarily make them the best. I wanted this list to be quality and agreed upon by the majority. So, I had to do a bit of homework. While doing my research, I was blown away by how many there are! I had forgotten about some of these, and in many cases I didn't realize they were fictional bands! I guess I always thought "Josie And The Pussycats" was a real band. I guess I didn't really pay attention to the movie. Likewise, the same thing with "Cheetah Girls" I thought it was a real group. However, they only became a real group after the movie came out and they did some shows and stuff. Those bands will not appear on the list below. We can consider them to be honorable mentions, though?

Let's get to the list! What bands would you add to the list that you'd love to see live and in person but will likely never be able to because they aren't real? Let us know!

Look, you can't talk about fictional bands without talking about Spinal Tap. They're arguably the greatest fictional band of all-time. Sure, they did end up playing some shows but that doesn't count! They're from a movie and so I'm calling them fake. Also, you'd be surprised how many people don't realize they aren't real. It's a mockumentary! Ugh. The actors are all quality musicians but it remains a fake band.

https://youtu.be/voVY3-Xe8KY?si=YeBR8Uc94RdXceOK Do you remember The Beets from "Doug?" I had this song stuck in my head for the better part of my childhood growing up. It was so catchy! I wanted to see them. Doug and everyone seemed so hype about them. I wanted that feeling! It would be so cool to see them perform their songs live. I bet you'd remember more lyrics than you;d expect. 

This is one of the newer examples on the list. I watched this show and it was fantastic. The music is cool, the characters are relatable, and the songs are awesome! I'd definitely see them perform live. This would have been my type of band back in the day. If you haven't watched it yet, it's highly recommended!

https://youtu.be/rPIt52BwTak?si=gOr0nQzjbplACb3d Anything Steve Smith sings gets instantly stuck in my head. Just like Family Guy and South Park, American Dad does a great job incorporating original songs. They are always great and they are always funny. Somehow, they never seem to miss. It's funny how the show will reference Boyz 12 and their music even outside of the original episode. A nice Easter Egg for fans of the show.

Of course this had to make the list! It's one of the most memorable moments and episodes of SpongeBob! Can you image being at the Bubble Bowl to see this one-of-a-kind performance? That crowd definitely looked hype. Honestly, I don't think you're ever too old for SpongeBob. It remains hilarious to this day. Or am I just immature?
