...network is also finding fresher and more dramatically rewarding ways of plying nostalgia, in particular on Bands Reunited (weeknights, 10 p.m. E.T.). The point of the show is not so much the reunion concerts as the quotidian stories it tells on the way there--how former stars have become insurance underwriters and wedding-band players or how feuding brothers Mike and Ali Score of haircut band A Flock of Seagulls haven't seen each other in five years. When the Scores reunited for a London club show in front of their beaming mom, I misted up--even though...

"We tried to put, like, Band-Aids on," Portman said, but she gave up and wore the dress anyway. So, O.K., she's not yet a woman...

Turning your computer into a recording studio with programs like Pro Tools and Cakewalk Plasma means splashing out hundreds of dollars and slogging through dense instruction manuals.
