=== Live-Action TV ===
* The ultimate Fake Bands actually were the [[MacGuffin]]s around which entire series were built: ''[[The Partridge Family]]'' (who save for two of them <ref>Shirley Jones was in [[Oklahoma!]]</ref> otherwise weren't musicians) and ''[[The Monkees (TV series)|The Monkees]]'' (some of whom ''were'', but weren't allowed to use their skills on the show during the first season).
* The 1977 [[Summer Replacement Series]] ''[[A Year at the Top]]'' was about a band (composed of Greg Evigan and Paul Shaffer -- yes, [[David Letterman|''that'' Paul Shaffer) who make a [[Deal with the Devil|deal with the son of the Devil]], and trade their souls for a year of fame and fortune.
* The short-lived series ''[[The Heights]]'' was centered around a band of the same name, formed for the show. A song from the show, "How Do You Talk To An Angel?" made it to #1 in the United States a [[Breakaway Pop Hit|few weeks after the show was canceled]] (only one cast member, Jamie Walters - who sang lead vocals - performs on the song).
* ''[[California Dreams]]'' features a Fake Band of the same name that also doubled as your standard teen comedy [[Six-Student Clique]].
