The Blanks (a.k.a. Ted's Band)
The Blanks are Sam, Paul, George and Philip, a quartet of friends who like to sing a cappella music. For a few years now they've been appearing on the television show Scrubs where, as luck would have it, they have to pretend to be a quartet of friends who like to sing a cappella music. They sing in a wide range of styles from original pop and doo-wop to TV and movie themes. They've even been known to sing songs with talking toys--that's right, four grown men who still play with dolls--er, action figures. But all is not fun and games with The Blanks, as they have been known to lapse into sentimental ballads too.

Featured regularly on NBC's hit show Scrubs, where they are known as Ted's Band, this LA-based all male Contemporary quartet The Blanks are a whole lot of fun. We totally enjoyed their dynamic performance particularly the manic "Commandos Attack!," (which won at the Regional Sweepstakes for Best Original Song), which features a talking "action figure," as does "Happy Halloween," which features a talking plastic pumpkin. "Riding" features 34 cuts of various lengths, the shortest being three two-second versions of the notorious 3-note jingle "By Mennen," in G major and D major. The Blanks are big on TV show and sitcom themes, such as "Charles in Charge," The Little Rascals' theme song "Good Old Days," "Facts of Life," "Flipper Theme," "Speed Racer," "Six Million Dollar Man" and the deathless Saturday morning cartoon theme, "Underdog." The invented theme for a fictional cartoon character, "Testy Tiger," returns several times, and a theme is invented for the Broadway show, "The Full Monty." The Scrubs theme "Superman," "The Ballad of Jimmy Durante"—this is all funny, crazed stuff. We admit that we've avoided watching Scrubs for fear of becoming addicted to another great show, but now that we've seen and heard The Blanks, we're tuning in this week. Loads of vocal and comedic talent here—these guys are hot and funny!
