HISTORICAL NOTE: "The Naked Brothers Band is an American television series created by actress Polly Draper & produced by Kidzhouse Entertainment & Worldwide Biggies, which aired on Nickelodeon from February 3, 2007 to June 13, 2009. The series is a spin-off of The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie, which was originally an independent film written & directed by Draper. The film premiered on TV in January 2007, & the show stars Draper's prodigious sons, Nat Wolff & Alex Wolff, who portray authentic versions of themselves. Draper's husband, Michael Wolff, serves as the music supervisor & also plays his sons' inept accordion-playing father. The storyline takes place in New York City where the siblings live in a vividly colored apartment, akin to the family's real home. The show lampoons Nat's genuine band, The Silver Boulders, which he formed in preschool with his childhood friends. Nat & Alex composed, sang, & performed all of the series' original music. The series is a mockumentary with cameras recording the band members during their concert performances & personal lives. The title is derived from an incident when the brothers were very young: they arose from the bathtub shouting, "We're 'the naked brothers band!'" After winning a prize at the Hamptons International Film Festival in 2005, Albie Hecht — who later became an executive producer of the series — bought the film, to which became the pilot for the TV series. According to Viacom, "The premiere of The Naked Brothers Band television series delivered Nickelodeon's highest-rated premiere in seven years" & instantly became one of the most popular shows for children aged 6–11. The series is as popular as Disney Channel's Hannah Montana & Cory in the House. Draper was nominated for a 2008 Writer's Guild of America award for her work on the 1st season's episode, "Nat is a Stand-Up Guy"; a year later, she received a WGA award for her work on the 2nd season's finale TV movie special, Polar Bears. Nat also earned a nomination twice for his performance; one at the Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards in the UK, & another at the KCAs in the US. Nat, Alex, & their father also received a 2007 BMI Cable Award for their work on the show's music. Nat & Alex's mother, Polly Draper, explains the events that preceded the show: "Nat kept putting signs on his door: I want to be a child actor! I said, 'No, it's too brutal.'" Early in 2007, Draper told The New York Times in an interview: "Nat decided he wanted to film his own sitcom, so we did a film called Don’t Eat Off My Plate...I pretended to interview his friends & do a documentary." Nat got permission to record a studio tape with his brother, Alex, & his dad (Michael Wolff). While watching the recording, Draper had the idea of making a mock documentary about the band, presenting them as music icons like The Beatles. In a TV Guide interview in early 2007, Draper said, "What originally happened was that Nat & Alex had a band, & the idea evolved based on that. Spinal Tap meets The Little Rascals was my concept...I wanted it to be very Beatle-ish, have that Help! or A Hard Day's Night kind of feeling." Draper subsequently wrote & directed The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie, which was designed as an independent family home-video. In late 2005, Draper entered the film at the Hamptons International Film Festival, where it won the audience award for family feature film. Nickelodeon executive Albie Hecht, who was present in the audience, bought the film for the network. Nickelodeon urged the family to start a television series based on the film, & Draper reluctantly agreed. Tom Asheim, the general manager & executive vice president of Nickelodeon said, "At 1st, we were intrigued by the idea, but we weren't sure kids would get the vague tongue-&-check-of-it. Then a bunch of us took it home to our own children & they loved it." Asheim also states: "This is our version of The Monkees. Nat Wolff wrote all the music, which I think distinguishes the show. Sometimes I think you get a sense from bands that they are [faking it] like Milli Vanilli. This really is by kids & for kids." Draper recalled, "When Nickelodeon 1st asked us about doing a series, we said, 'How about a cartoon, so the kids could stay normal?' They said, 'No, we love your kids.'" "Having our life turned into a mockumentary wasn’t as big a deal as some would think. We took all the friendships, Alex’s one liners, & my music & put it into a storyline; it was a heightened reality...The show created a great audience for us..." —Nat Wolff The siblings' mom, Polly Draper (star of ABC's Thirtysomething), was the creator, executive producer, head writer, & frequent director of the TV show; their father, Michael Wolff (music director for The Arsenio Hall Show), was the co-star & co-executive producer of the TV show. Albie Hecht was the executive producer & his production company Worldwide Biggies distributed the series. "I always hope that parents will enjoy the show as much as the children. I’m also very inspired by my son’s songs, so a lot of the feelings & thoughts in the episodes revolve around those. We treat this show like an adult comedy, not like a typical kids show. If a joke goes by unnoticed, that’s all right with us. With the 3rd or 4th viewing, kids will pick it up, as opposed to most children’s fare, where most jokes are signaled & cued."—Polly Draper. The production studio, Kidzhouse Entertainment—a division of Broadway Stages—is located in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The giant studio is large enough that cast members played basketball with friends in a separate room when they are finished filming episodes. Draper managed to keep an eye on her two sons. For example, when the cast was filming an episode that featured the band making a video, Nat, who didn't want to kiss in the scene because his crush Rosalina was watching, follows directions which he then explains to his mother. That was the 1st season's 9th episode, "First Kiss (On the Lips, That is)", which was written by Michael Rubiner & Bob Mittenthal & directed by Draper's friend & Thirtysomething co-star Melanie Mayron. As showrunner, Polly Draper's presence is evident. For example, during production for the 4th episode of the 2nd season, as the boys played restlessly on a purple sofa, their mother (who wasn't directing the scene) admonished them by saying, "Both of you, try to smile more." Occasionally, family disputes occur on set; for example, in July 2008—after filming for a long period of time on the set—when Draper gives one of the boys' an instruction, one of the siblings' irritatingly replies, "I know, Mom!†According to Nat Wolff during a family interview in January 2008, the French bulldog E.T., who plays David Levi's dog in the show, belongs to the Draper-Wolff family in real-life. Albie Hecht knew that the series would be successful after watching The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie at the Hamptons International Film Festival. In a New York Times article Hecht explains, "They're just real—real brothers, real friends; it's all the stuff kids do when they're hanging out on the playground. The idea that you're watching a documentary is so much fun. Then you put them into that fantasy of being a world-famous rock band, & that's the sauce that makes it work." In October 2006, the online videos had been played 11 million times. Moreover, before the show's debut, "a fan recognized Nat & Alex in a Florida hotel. She sent them a note: 'Are you the Naked Brothers?' 'They were so excited,' Draper recalled. 'The show hasn't even aired yet & now walking down the streets kids are calling out their names. They can't believe it.' " Nat explained that "It's all based on reality. It's not like work. It's things we might say or do or want to say or do. I like the feeling of creating something that wasn't there. If we have [a 2nd] season, I'm totally getting ideas." Nat also says that "We have actually become way better friends working together." Alex responds, "We have?" "I have to watch all of the dailies to find the gem among the performances. Since I have been doing the show for so long, I know what the producers are looking for & have become good at finding it rather quickly. When I see these moments, I start my cut of the scene with them & work backwards. It does take a lot of time & creativity to make things look good." —Editor Craig Cobb Craig Cobb was the picture editor for the series; he was also the assistant editor for Sex & The City. Cobb worked with Louis Bertini, the supervising sound editor of the series, who had been the editor for Sex & The City. Of the editing process, Bertini explains that editing the show was not much different than editing Sex & the City; they brought a similar "approach & constriction to the audio elements", although unlike Sex in the City, the show had a "larger cartoon element". However, Cobb considered the editing to be a challenge because he felt that a certain degree of unscripted "magic on set" existed that required more work. Because most of the children on the series are not actors—in addition to the music that was to be added—the editing process created a situation that was somewhat "messy". Nonetheless, Cobb believed the combination of factors created a "magic" of its own "& it's what makes this show really shine". When an episode completed filming, Cobb edited on the Final Cut Pro application, which normally took four days to complete. Bertini—who spent the same amount of time editing—then converted unnecessary script & added sound effects. Cobb says, "The 16:9 SD workflow was the plan for the 2008 season, but that has changed. We're working in 4:3 SD with the ProRes 422 codec, so we're cutting in a broadcast-quality format that we'll later output without having to recapture all the footage." According to Cobb, it is very difficult to coordinate the television's screen-framing: "There are many issues to consider. If I were able to cut it 16:9, I would be able to keep an eye on the outside edges of the frame. Since I only cut it in 4:3, I don’t get to see what's going on in the entire frame. Therefore, should an HD version be required, potentially a lot of adjustments will have to be made in the final edit. Occasionally, we've had to look at the 16:9 footage to reposition a couple of shots & I’ve seen light stands and such that will have to be removed somehow in a 16:9 version of the show. However, everything has been shot in 16:9 HD, so we will never have to stretch any images to fill the 16:9 frame." Nat & Alex write & perform all of the show's songs, & their father, Wolff, serves as the series' music supervisor. Wolff also co-produces the music with Michael A. Levine. The series' music editor, John Davis coordinates the songs' musical numbers. Amy Cervini & Russ Spiegel are both co-music instructors for the series. On October 9, 2007, the debut of the 1st season's self-titled soundtrack album released into stores. The day before, on October 8, the band had an autograph signing at Virgin Megastore in Times Square, New York City. It was produced by Wolff & Levine & distributed by Nick Music & Columbia Records. All of the music on the album includes tracks composed by Nat, apart from "Alien Clones" & "I Could Be", which were composed by Alex. Additionally, the group's 1st MTV music video released for their song "If That's Not Love". On April 15, 2008, the 2nd season's soundtrack album, I Don't Want to Go to School was released into stores, & on March 18 it was released in Wal-Marts' across the country. Tracks from the album includes songs all written by Nat, including "I Don't Want to Go to School", with the exception of "Why" & "Three is Enough" which was composed by Alex. Other songs on the album include bonus tracks such as "Tall Girls, Short Girls...You", by Nat & "Changing" by Alex. The producers of the album were also Wolff & Levine & was distributed by Nick Music & Columbia Records. To praise the release of their new album, they performed their song, "I Don't Want to Go to School" live on NBC's Today Show. Nielsen Media Research calculates that approximately 1.3 million people have watched the 1st 10 episodes of season 1. The 1st season's plot introduces 11-year-old Nat Wolff & younger brother, 8-year-old Alex Wolff, members of the world-famous rock band, The Naked Brothers Band.

Hecht says, "I could see there was an audience for this. They're real kids, real brothers, making real music." After the 1st season, Draper received a nomination for the season's 3rd episode, "Nat is a Stand-Up Guy", at the 2008 Writer's Guild of America for Children's Episodic & Specials. The following year at the end of the 2nd season, Draper won the Children's Script — Long Form or Special at the 2009 Writers Guild of America for the finale TV movie Polar Bears, which was the only one nominated in the category. In 2007, Nat was nominated for Best TV Actor at the 2007 UK Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards. In 2008, Nat performed at the 2008 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards; the following year he was nominated there for Favorite TV Actor. "The songs, actually written by Nat, may not top the charts, but they're far more tolerable than Kidz Bop & are hard to shake once the show is over. Amazingly, all of the kids here real musicians. If Draper really wants to create a show business legacy, she should sell her secrets on how to get kids to practice their musical instruments." —Laura Fries from Variety When the film premiered on the network, it was seen by an average of 2.7 million viewers; it placed the top 10 spot on the Nielsen VideoScan children's non-theatrical DVD charts. The band's hit song "Crazy Car" sold more than 100,000 downloads online; it was placed on the top 100 Billboard Charts for seven weeks & the track was featured on the Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice, Vol 3. The family had encountered an incident in the past; the family had to change their phone number because fans were calling their house relentlessly. Draper recalls, "Little girls would call & say, 'Helloooo, is Matt there? We just love him.' The only thing that's comforting is, they're pretty harmless at that age." The executive vice president of development & original programming for Nickelodeon, Marjorie Cohn explains: "The Naked Brothers Band series has exploded & continues to grow in popularity as a multiplatform & international property for Nickelodeon." According to a 2007 PRNewswire article, it stated that the TV show "quickly became one of the top programs for tweens on television". Ronnie Sheib from Variety praised the film, stating that it is: "Convincingly faithful to kids' rhythms & speech patterns, & featuring several catchy if one-chorus numbers, this bouncy, feel-good kid pic, with targeted release strategy, could rock peers & parents alike." Tami Horiuchi from Amazon.com said that the film is a "funny spoof of the Hollywood rockumentary genre is so over-done that some viewers might find it distasteful, offensive, &/or inappropriate for children" & recommends an age group between the ages of 9-13. Commonsense Media suggests that the film is age appropriate for children 10+ & gave it a two out of a five star rating. Felicia R. Lee from The New York Times called, both the film & the television series, "an ebullient mock documentary." The premiere of the series acquired the channel as favorable for children aged 6–11; Nielsen Media Research calculates—of in that age range—approximately 1.3 million people have watched the 1st 10 episodes of the series. It was one of the quickest starts in about three decades for the network—giving the channel the most favorable ratings in seven years. The series is in a popular category, along with Disney Channel's Hannah Montana & Cory in the House. By October, 2007, Nick.com's message boards had 5.3 million pages viewed, causing online madness. The show has three video games online that have been played about 24 million times. In addition, fans have downloaded over 800 thousand podcasts.";
