What is this show or episode about?

It features the British guitar pop band, Busted, and it was aired to show a band going from super stardom to a place where no one knows who they are. It tracks their progress in trying to build their popularity in America, and it's a chance to see what they really think of the band and the way they're marketed etc. 

How frequently do you watch this show?

Every time it's on, I'm glued to the television 

Do you like the plots or stories of the show? What do you like or dislike about them?

It's certainly different, there are a lot of reality TV shows around but this is one of the best and most original. Nothing to dislike, really, but they could have shown more performances. 

Is there anything you would like to see happen in the story of the show right now?

Well it's finished now, but as I said, they should have filmed more gigs, and shown Busted in a better light because they did better in America than the show made out. 

Who are the main actors and actresses on this program, or the people who star in it?

Matt Willis, Charlie Simpson and James Bourne - the three members of Busted. Their manager Fletch accompanies them all along the way, and the promoter, Dave, appears quite a lot too. 

How would you describe the acting?

This show doesn't have acting. 

Do you feel like you know the characters in the show personally, or that you can relate to the characters or people in it? Who is your favorite or least favorite?

I've been a fan of Busted since the start, so I can relate to them a lot, and their way of thinking, particularly James because we have similar personalities. My least favourite is Dave, basically because he got to be annoying, and he seemed to try too hard to act on camera. 

What age group would most enjoy watching this show? Any ages who wouldn't like it or shouldn't watch it?

I'd say all age groups really, it's an interesting concept put together well. It helped to gain respect for Busted as a band, and a lot of music fans would take interest. 

Do you know any interesting facts about the show, its actors or creators?

I know lots about Matt, James and Charlie. I can't think of anything that especially sticks out to say on here though. 

What, if anything, would you change about the way show is written, staged, or produced? Do you like the way the characters talk, what they wear, what the set looks like, etc.?

The only thing that annoyed me was the way Dave acted. Fletch and the Busted boys stayed pretty relaxed throughout the whole thing considering they had cameras following them everywhere. 

Do you have any other comments about yourself or the program that would give us a better understanding of your review?

It's a good show, it puts a different light on the music industry and what goes on behind the scenes with bands.
