I respect him for going back out there, but every time I hear him I cringe and feel bad for him. I don't want to see that at a New Year's Party.

The NKOTBSB just keeps snowballing ...

Wow, that's a hell of a show.

WienerButt		2010-12-16 11:43:18 AM

Me and my friend still talk about how terrible it was to have him on last NYE. He could barely do the countdown and even skipped a number. He sounded like Harry from Dumb and Dumber when his tongue was stuck to the ski lift.

UNLEASH THE KRAKEN!!!!!

FTA: The two bands, who have melded their monikers to become NKOTBSB

New Kids on the Back Street Boys? Funny, I always figured New Kids to be the bottom.

Mini Ditka		2010-12-16 11:44:13 AM

"The NKOTBSB just keeps snowballing ... and nothing is as exciting as Times Square's New Year's countdown," the Backstreet Boys said Thursday.

So, they said that in unison?

Doran		2010-12-16 11:44:17 AM

Would you prefer Kesha?

Oh wait, she's going to be there too.

/pray for us

TeddyRooseveltsMustache		2010-12-16 11:44:57 AM

I don't think the Back Street Boys were around in 1990. But I could be wrong.

Oldiron_79		2010-12-16 11:45:16 AM

Just wait till Dick Clark's head in a jar rings in the year 3000

New Kids on the Block had a bunch of hits.

5 dollar milkshake		2010-12-16 11:46:09 AM

I am unashamedly going to see NKOTB/BSB in Chicago next year. It's gonna be a drunken good time with the girls. Never really was a crazed fan in either of their hey-days, but I think the nostalgia will be worth it:)

BACKSTREET'S BACK ALRIGHT!

Is it just me or has Dick been noticeably drunk on the past few New Year's broadcasts?

Marisyana		2010-12-16 11:47:18 AM

We tuned in briefly to NYRE last year. I swear it was one of the saddest things ever to listen to Dick Clark.

/dude, your money's made, just retire already

Jarrell86: New Kids on the Block had a bunch of hits.

So did Tiny Tim.

I should just start posting 'facepalm guy' pic in all of today's threads.

Hershey Highway Patrol		2010-12-16 11:48:05 AM

For some reason I read that as "Dick Cheney"

Well the stroke and all, makes you want to drink like a fish.

As if there already were not enough reasons to not watch this show. I heard that sha-na-na will be headlining the show next year.

Fark that...I'm watching the new Year's Eve Three Stooges marathon instead!!

beowulfmpf		2010-12-16 11:55:22 AM

So they are going be on a year from now? To close out 2011?
Who is on this year? Donny and Marie?

New Kids On The Back Street Boys

Note: This is not gay. Not gay at all.

New Kids, Backstreet Boys mash up to close 2011

Huh?? Did I miss a year somewhere??

I made a 9-disc set of MTV clips ranging from 1980-1985, complete with commercials and VJs talking and doing interviews.

Much more entertaining way to fill the TV up on NYE.

Raging Thespian		2010-12-16 12:03:13 PM

I hear they're going to have a procession of one-legged, cancer-ridden puppies to make Dick Clark seem undepressing by comparison.

Perducci		2010-12-16 12:04:01 PM

Dick Clark and Ozzie Osborne should do a show together.

Does Chinese food make you sick?

hbk72777		2010-12-16 12:05:42 PM

I'd pay to see Dick recite the name of every member of both bands.

That is so awesome! I wish I had something like that. The only VHS I have left is filled with old 120 minutes episodes with Kevin Seal.

Jarrell86: New Kids on the Block had a bunch of hits.

And in 1979 A Taste of Honey beat out Elvis Costello for the Best New Artist at the Grammy Awards.

Your point?

TheNewJesus		2010-12-16 12:08:05 PM

I think it's a good idea. And I think a lot 30 something moms will be watching with slightly moist vaginas.

So, they said that in unison?

It's what they do, and I'm sure it was in harmony as well.

Someone needs to put this poor bastard out of his misery.

Huh, I wonder why they couldn't get N Sync

Confabulat		2010-12-16 12:13:33 PM

I like having Dick Clark start the new year. He's a fine reminder of our own mortality.

nostratic: Jarrell86: New Kids on the Block had a bunch of hits.

And I can't remember the melody of any of them. Sometimes it's good being 54.

But who, I axe, will service the aforementioned moistened Regions of Nether ? Who ?
