Version of "The Young Person's Guide to Becoming a Rock Star" (1998)

A Rock Star Super Series! It ROCKS!

The standout star is Oliver Hudson. A real breakout star! This series is based on a band that wants to make it big but as we all know have to go through rocky situations and trying everything to make it big in the rock buisness. It's a hard job but I bet they make it! A great series and a fun show. Great looking cast and very fresh! Watch the show on the WB network. So watch with enjoyment because I have every on on tape. Give it a chance a real winner! Out of 4 stars I give it a 3 1/2. Just a fun show to watch.
