My Guide to Becoming a Rock Star is an Americansitcom television series starringOliver Hudson. The series premiered March 14, 2002 onThe WB. It is based on the British seriesThe Young Person's Guide to Becoming a Rock Star.[1][2]
The series focuses on Jace Darnell, the creator and lead singer of his fictional band SlipDog. He, as well as lead guitarist Doc, bassist Joe, keyboardist/DJ Sarah, and drummer Danny–later replaced by drummer Lucas–try to make it in the music business, possibly helped by their reluctant manager Dole.
USA Today published a negative review which stated, "Unfortunately, like so many shows aimed at young people,Rock Star sadly underestimates the intelligence of its audience. Aside from some mildly amusing moments...the show seldom can be bothered to come up with anything even borderline clever."[3] Steve Johnson of theChicago Tribune criticized the show for poor acting, excessive narration, and a lack of humor.[4]
