Front Row is a discontinued media center software application for Apple's Macintosh computers and Apple TV for navigating and viewing video, photos, podcasts and music from a computer, optical disc or the Internet through a 10-foot user interface (similar to Kodi and Windows Media Center).

[1] Front Row was first unveiled on September 19, 2004 with the new iMac G5 (along with the built-in iSight camera, the Apple Remote, and Photo Booth).

[4] The next incarnation, released in the original Apple TV software in March 2007, was a complete, stand alone application that played content directly from libraries.

Released in November 2007 with Mac OS X v10.5 (Leopard),[5] version two of Front Row included the new features introduced with the Apple TV (except for the YouTube viewer), a different opening transition, ending AirTunes functionality, and a launcher application in addition to the Command+Escape keyboard shortcut.

This update did away with Front Row and introduced a new interface for the original Apple TV in which content was organized into six categories, all of which appeared in a large square box on the screen upon startup (movies, TV shows, music, YouTube, podcasts and photos) and presented in the initial menu, along with a "Settings" option for configuration, including software updates.
