Before the Super Bowl halftime show became a yearly pop culture moment, New Kids on the Block were the first contemporary pop act to take the stage. Previously, the slot had been reserved strictly for marching bands. While the group helped start a tradition that has gone on for decades, their performance wasn't actually broadcast when it was supposed to. Instead of their segment airing in the middle of the big game, ABC chose to share a news report about the Gulf War.
