JONAS - Die Serie

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.

what were you expecting? the jonas brothers are not actors they have said it like 1000 times. the plot is not great but is not the worst thing ever either. the show has its funny moments and it's very kid friendly (ages 6 -12 ) for a Disney channel TV show is not that bad .. its not like it will air on fox,abc and those channels where the adult TV shows air ;) just give them a break and if you don't like it don't watch it like with any other TV show. besides it will probably be only 1 season, because that's what the contract said ;). I personally thought it was OK (and I'm 18) it just really depends on what you like :) I like those kinds of TV shows because they remind me of when I was younger and I didn't have to worry about anything but having fun.

The much ballyhooed Jonas show starring the Jonas Brothers finally made its debut on the Disney Channel last night. One hopes that when the brothers have had their run as teen idols they'll have invested their money wisely because it will take some considerable doing for them to have careers as musicians and/or actors when the vogue for them has passed.

As kids they're cute, pleasant and easy to take even for people over the age of 15. Their music isn't too bad either. What the Disney Studio did was reach back into rock and roll history and modeled this show on that first show about a rock band, The Monkees. The Jonas Brothers even have a fourth brother, little Frankie who can make it a quartet to have adventures just like the Monkees.

Don't look for much plot, the show is just another venue for their music which is in fact their bread and butter. Every show will have some kind of story to play between music videos. It worked fine for the Monkees, it should work for Joe, Kevin, Nick, and sometimes Frankie Jonas.

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.

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.
