Guys Next Door
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Template:Use mdy dates Template:Infobox television Guys Next Door is an American sketch comedy television series aired on NBC in the 1990–91 season as part of its Saturday morning lineup.[1] It featured a boy band performing comedy sketches and spoofs, as a combination of New Kids on the Block with The Monkees.[2] The show starred Patrick J. Dancy, Eddie Garcia, Bobby Leslie, Damon Sharpe, and Chris Wolf. Several music videos were created for the individual episodes; they were produced by Joseph Sassone and directed by Dominic Orlando.
As a band, the group was signed to SBK Records and released a self-titled album, which spawned a single titled "I've Been Waiting for You". The single peaked at #42 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart on February 23, 1991.[3]
While Wolf and Leslie dropped out of the public eye after the show ended, Dancy and Garcia are still active as actors. Sharpe is currently a music producer and songwriter who has worked with such artists as Jennifer Lopez, Kylie Minogue, Anastacia, Kelly Rowland, Big Time Rush, New Boyz, and Monica.[4]
The series sparked criticism by parents, teachers, and media experts due to airing a targeted program for young adult audiences on Saturday mornings that was since attended to be a marathon for children, causing the series to be cancelled after one season.[5] Prior to its cancellation in 1991, then-President George H. W. Bush signed a deal to require educational content on NBC by the Children's Television Act,[6] which became a downfall for the network and completely eliminating children’s programming in Summer 1992.[7]
