The Search for the Next Great American Band Instead of looking for undiscovered singers, the producers of "American Idol" seek out undiscovered bands - any age, any genre.
Nashville The folks who brought you "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County" take you to a different part of the country for a whole new set of soapy unscripted adventures, this time focusing on the Nashville music scene and the city's high society.
