Though the group appeared in live action clips, their animated voices were performed by other voice actors.[4] "You Got It (The Right Stuff)" was the opening theme, while an instrumental version of "Step by Step" was the closing theme.
In each episode, the group is traveling to a concert location when something takes them off track, ending in a pro-social moral lesson.[5]
A primetime special, New Kids on the Block Christmas Special, aired on ABC on December 14, 1990.[6]
The series focuses on the group's misadventures along with their managers, who are based on their real-life manager, Maurice Starr.
