Finally all the blood, sweat, and hair gel is beginning to pay off: After a season full of low notes -- including being temporarily bumped from ABC's schedule -- Making the Band (42nd) struck a ratings chord, as 8.2 million viewers tuned in to see who was selected for the boy band O-Town. The episode scored the show's highest numbers since its premiere and was tops for the night in the 18-49 demo. Meanwhile, NBC's summer burn-off, M.Y.O.B. (52nd), already seems D.O.A., as the teen comedy spoke to only 7.1 million viewers. Fox couldn't get lucky either, since nobody seemed interested in checking out the Blockbuster Entertainment Awards (71st).
