Jonas

OK. so like previous reviews yes this is a rip off of hannah montana... but it is with the jonas brothers and people actually know they are famous... personally i liked the ORIGINAL plot where they were like spies (kind of like james bond) and there cover was a boy band... that seemed better to me and had more of twist. anyways the comedy isn't as bad as people make it out to be... the comedy though HOWEVER! is only good or at least measures up to the word and term "good" when it is between joe and kevin jonas... specially kevin... it just seems natural.. where is nick jonas... well how do i put this in a nice way.... well he sucks... his acting in general is just forced and he brings no life to his character... i know he is meant to play off the "serious" character the one who "doesn't" smile but he is just a joke to the acting world. i will continue to watch the show however because it does and can have its moments like i said between joe and kevin...

The show will probably appeal to those under the age of like 8 or MAYBE 10.. just because it is the jonas brothers... (note: i am 19) personally i recommend you to watch it if u show any more than the slightest of interest... just to get your own thoughts on the show and construct ur own view...

i give the show a 5/10 because nick is crap and he is in it a fair bit unfortunately... lol so he brings the show down. Also Disney could of done better with the storyline... they should of stuck with the rumoured concept of undercover spies posing as a boy band which i stated earlier.

Now honestly I've watched this show with my little sister because like most girls from the ages of 9-15 she's a huge Jonas brother fan. Now unlike the previous comment, that person has the stupidest idea of what is good on TV. Jonas isn't the best show on Disney channel, there's no avoiding it. It's more of Disney keeping trying to cash in on what's popular. Hannah Montana is a very lousy singer and an even worse actress. It's funny how her co-starts Mitchell Musso and emily osement sing better and act better then her. The Joans brothers are decent singers and especially for the pop rock genre there's no denying it. Their acting isn't TERRIBLE but it's not worth a gold star. Kevin's acting is funny because he's aware of how terrible he is but just rolls with it. Nick always has that same look on his face like he's in pain to be on camera. But you think he'd be use to it being a major music star for the past 4 years. All in all, you might not enjoy it the way you'd enjoy other shows such as phineas and pherb. But it's Disney channel, you really can't expect anything more then unpromising shows. Jonas isn't the worst, but it's certainly far from the best.

Disney channel shows have really never been very good. They suffer from horrible jokes that only little kids with yet to be developed brains will find amusing, such as Hannah Montana's " (Insert name here) say what?!" Surprisingly, this show doesn't have too many moments with bad jokes. The show is fast paced, and though it is really stupid, the jokes aren't particularly corny, or bad for that matter. They're just extremely stupid.

The Lucas brothers (Played by the Jonas brothers) are fictional characters in a band called Jonas (named after their street). All three brothers go to a private school, and get into wacky mischief. Kevin Jonas is the oldest, and definitely the dumbest on the show. Usually he is the comic relief type. Joe Jonas is generally the center of attention on the program, but he's also an idiot. Nick Jonas is the straight man, who's role seems to be getting angry at the other two. It's kind of a dumbed down three stooges act.

The brothers give surprisingly good performances, with Kevin and Joe showing off their comedic acting skills with fairly good timing. Nick is the straight man, and possibly too reserved for his own good. But the three of them give decent enough performances. The other main characters are the guys' schoolyard chum and costume designer Stella (Chelsea Staub), who is an alright character, and then we have Macy (Nicole Gale Anderson), who is a creepy and annoying fan girl. Don't much care for the character, as she's on the borderline between okay, and Hannah Montana humor.

The jokes on the show are better than typical Disney. They are somewhat remnant of the type of joke on Even Stevens. It's goofy, but somewhat entertaining, perhaps because of the performances. It's really hard to describe why this is alright, and what every other current Disney show isn't. The lack of laugh track is a plus. The performances are better. The timing is more on. The show is clearly not meant to be realistic at all, but it has a small bit of realism to it. It's clear no one is taking anything seriously, and it's played off as a sort of alternate jokey reality. It's difficult to explain...

The show is just a breath of fresh air, considering how bad every other Disney channel show is. Even this one isn't very good, and it's still the channel's best. It's one that possibly parents won't cringe at, and one that has some small bit of value, that makes it at least watchable and maybe even somewhat entertaining.

My rating: ** 1/2 out of ****. 30 mins. TVY7 My rating:

Yes, I'm an adult. Yes, my kids are mostly grown and certainly out of the age range of the usual Disney TV fan. But I am old enough to remember the happy randomness of Beatles movies and The Monkees on Saturday morning television -- and that's what "Jonas" brings to mind.

I love the innocence and silliness of this show. IMO, the brothers have an easy rapport on camera and great comedic timing. And I have to say that Nick should pursue a career in acting in the future if he doesn't want to be in the music business. He's got real leading man potential.

Do you remember when you were a kid and you just felt like laughing about nothing and didn't care what grownups (or anyone else) thought? When you could look at your brother or BFF and whisper something like "shoehorn" and dissolve into laughter? Please view this program with that mood in mind. Sit back, smile and don't take life so seriously.

I'm sure the Jonas Brothers aren't the best actors in the world, but if you're gonna try something new, you have to start somewhere; so I guess this is where they're building up. No, it's not the best series, no it's not very original but I'm still enjoying the cheesy comedy that they put into it. And hopefully in time, they'll become better actors just like what Miley Cyrus did with Hannah Montana. It's one of their first acting jobs so I didn't really expect to much out of them but Disney really, really might wanna consider more original scripts and outlines or at least give Jonas a twist to it because right now it's just a little too plain for a lot of people.
