Roadies (2016)
20 seconds to...lets get ready for funny stuff!

Warning: Spoilers
This is going to be a tremendous hit, I'm convinced. A perfect mix of people, the electricity that happens with each of the characters, and the level of actors who are on this program are phenomenal...I think we are starting to see a revolution in the TV industry! We aren't suffering fools...we will move on to better stuff that is absolutely free on the internet, if the cable companies don't produce movie quality series, so this should be great! It's Certainly a topic no one has explored, totally, with the exception of fans and journalists in "almost famous?" Though its a little more obscure with the roadies as the ones who live vicariously through the band, this show starts out where it certainly touch's anyone's life who loves music and seeks the answers behind the scenes...like real life bands, One Direction, Swift, J.T., the arrogant ones I wont mention, all the women who have made it big these last years, the musicians, who are out there every week, week after week, beating the pavement with the long road hauls over thousands of miles and many parties, and then the stories they all must have to tell!!!! Share the juicy stories using this format. We all think they are true, so, just use this fictional band to tell the mishaps and the fights, and the drama, and who really got who pregnant, and for what reason, etc...If, indeed you listen to music, buy it, review it online, read about or listen to biographic topics of these people's lives, if you seek out and go to concerts for the love of music, you will love this show. Late night TV shows has been all the same...zombies, zombies and more zombies, blood and guts, and or devil stuff. Thank you for a less serious comedic show, that has real stories behind them and feels like it has the teeth to stick around, I hope. I am a huge music lover, so when I find a topic I like I stick with the shows. I'm sure you are no different. Nonetheless, I go to great lengths to find out as much as i can about the musicians I listen to, so i can see how there would be the occasional stalker. I've never gone to that level, but it certainly has felt that way, when I'm at home reading up about their personal lives and what they are up to next? But truth be told, there is no one that knows these people more than the roadies! Well, and personal trainers, stylists, etc...but the roadies make friends with the stylists, etc...they get the stories, and the managers have the fill of the stories...so if this first season is anything close to what really goes on..I'm excited. Perhaps, they will even address real life challenges, like the documentary done by 30 seconds to mars did...they showed just how much management steals, and leaves the bands in such severe debt, they cant even pay their people nor pay for their lifestyles, if they are to be fiscally responsible? Maybe, this will be a platform for change in the music industry as well? I'm sure roadies are far more dedicated and far more likely to be bound by contracts of confidentiality, yet, who knows....Imagine all the examples to be used in cases like say..Justin Beeper? Or the perfectionist, Miss T. Oh, and Jared Letto, with feet in two careers, perfectly talented, a genius when it comes to making his music and trying to change the art model of music making industry, much like Grohl and Jack White! Wow, so much material and so little time! Here's to what should be a good group of writers, actors, the loyal followers with the use of the internet, who will follow along, just like they do in real life musicians? I was waiting to see what kind of band it is, and what the music would be like? Is this going to be like the movie,"ALMOST FAMOUS!"? Yummy stuff, if so....
