Hit Me Baby One More Time

From Zap2it TV Best Bets by Courtney Potter

Another reality show to get us through summer, "Hit Me Baby One More Time" is a tasty combo of VH1's "Bands Reunited" and FOX's "American Idol," and is based on a popular British show by the same name. "HMBOMT," hosted by original U.K. presenter Vernon Kay, finds a bevy of "veteran" performers (in our case, folks like Flock of Seagulls, Arrested Development, Loverboy and Tiffany) competing for audience votes. The artists will perform one of their own hits as well as a cover of a popular contemporary song, with the winner to be determined by an audience vote. No word on what the winner receives -- but the nationwide exposure on NBC can't hurt their careers.
