A walk down memory lane turned into a scream of shock and anticipation for Jennifer Lopez on 'The Tonight Show' (Weeknights, 11:35PM ET on NBC). It started off innocently enough, with Jay Leno asking her about her big break into the world of professional dancing.

"I got a job working as a back-up dancer for New Kids on the Block," she said. "Dancing on the American Music Awards and it was a big deal."

That was back in 1991, "a long time ago," according to Lopez. "There's tape out there somewhere, for sure," she said of her performance.

That's when Leno announced, "In fact, we have it right here." And she screamed.

There was a bit of a time-warp on tonight's '2010 AMAs' (Sun., 8PM ET on ABC). In fact, if you fell asleep in front of the TV, then suddenly woke up, you could have been forgiven for thinking that you were dreaming ... that you were back in the year 1996 -- or even 1986.

The Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block appeared on tonight's American Music Awards. Yes, the two boy bands are "back." And though the Backstreet Boys never really left us -- continuing their career to the present day -- New Kids on the Block famously tried to re-brand themselves as "NKOTB," then gave up and broke up the band in 1995.

Now, the two former teeny-bopper groups are touring together, using the semi-unwieldy name of "NKOTBSB." Tonight's AMAs represented their coming-out party of sorts. Though the "Boys" were popular in the mid-'90s, and the "Kids" were all the rage in the mid-'80s, it's been a long time since they've had mainstream success.

Normally you can expect VH1 to be renewing their horrible reality sexcapade competitions and other trashy shows, but suddenly there's a glimmer of hope on what was once an actual escape for the more mature music enthusiast. While it's only for 10 episodes or so for now, I'm still jazzed that VH1 is reviving Behind the Music at all. This was E!'s True Hollywood Story before True Hollywood Story. For me it generally didn't matter who they were spotlighting, all the stories were interesting. Of course, there'll always be a special place in my heart for the Milli Vanilli story. Heartbreak and more heartbreak!

You could call it a response to the success of the New Kids on the Block "Behind the Music" special this past fall. Honestly, I'm not even sure why the series was shelved in 2006. There are always new acts sprouting up and you'd think there would be plenty of fodder with the likes of The Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus and a new batch of American Idol wannabes each year. So far Lil' Wayne and Scott Weiland have signed on. I'm hoping for a Kanye West one narrated and written by West.

It seems that the writers of The Middleman have decided to stop opening the show with sexy scenes featuring Natalie Morales and start also including sexy scenes featuring Brit Morgan. Watching her do those dance moves more than made for the ham-handed way the writers attempted to get me to care about Varsity Fanclub. Clearly my taste in music is tragically unhip, since I thought the band was fictional until about three hours before the episode aired.

I know Pip is supposed to be the unlikable douchebag of the show, but his character isn't interesting enough for me to care about. His dialogue reminds me of a non-animated Cartman. Someone who thinks they're better than everyone he knows and yet he still seeks approval from those people. The difference is Drew Tyler Bell is no Eric Cartman.
