Big Time Rush

This is such a funny show and there isn't a single episode that doesn't make me laugh. The cast is brilliant and I love the show so much. It seems rather realistic and is for everyone, even if it is typically aimed at a younger audience. If you get the chance, sit down and watch it as it is funny.

When Big Time Rush first came out, I was about 14/15 & I loved watching it. It also helps that the boys are so cute, funny, & so talented. I really only remember the first 2 seasons as I started to wane off kid centric shows when I was 16 & also got into other musical groups (mainly One Direction & The Wanted). Flash forward to 2021 when Netflix streams it & I am in love with the show even more now. The boys are still so cute, funny, & talented & I appreciate them more now. I'm a little late & I can't stop listening to BTR songs. The series does overuse comedic sound effects that it does become distracting & everyone is so on point that it's really not needed. Other than that, BTR is one of the best Nickelodeon shows of the late 00's - early 10's.

Big Time Rush is so beautiful & care-free, I adore it so much!

I watched Big Time Rush growing up and re watched it as an adult and it's actually a pretty good Nickelodeon show. I really enjoy watching the guys and seeing what kind of shenanigans they were up to. I like how the show had an overarching plot of the guys getting famous and going on tour. The stories between Katie and Bitters were always great subplots for each episode. The music was pretty great although a little cheesy at times. I liked how they integrated the music and music videos into the stories of various episodes. This is a really great show although not as great as other Nickelodeon shows. What keeps this show from being a 10 is some of the cheesiness on the show. This show relies on some cheesy sound effects like boings and trombone playing. This works for a while, but by the 3rd season it gets kind of old. The background music is also recycled and used too often. I also thought the BTR movie and finale weren't very good. I thought the spy aspect of those episodes was a little ridiculous and not very entertaining compared to more realistic episodes.

I'm not in the business of awarding stars, so I'm really not sure what to give this show.

It was cute...for the audience it was directed at. Of course, you won't enjoy it as much if you're an older viewer, but you could still get a few chuckles out of it.

The storyline was easy to follow (four friends from a generic state with a generic common interest who get the chance to be famous), and the characters were interesting enough. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with Minnesota (one of my favorite states, in fact), nor is there anything wrong with hockey. I just don't see either of those facts playing a large part in the series. It was stated SEVERAL times that they are just four (in case, you didn't know how to count) hockey players from Minnesota, but the closest we got to seeing any hockey was a quick scrimmage with brooms during a short montage.

The actors were awesome, to say the least. Kendall, Carlos, Logan, and James did extremely well with their character development. Logan (he was my favorite) reminds me of Bret Harrison and Arnie Pantoja (circa Sydney White), so that was adorable. James definitely pulled off the fact that he's supposed to be full of himself, but his character didn't really show the fact that he cared about his "buds", too. Carlos was...interesting. I'm still trying to figure out which part he will be playing. The show kind of jumped back and forth with both he and Logan playing the cute, likable dork. And Kendall, Kendall was great. That's all there is to it. Kendall's sister (played by Ciara Bravo) was hilarious, and his mom (Challen Cates) did the whole somewhat-clueless thing quite well. Steve Glickman and Tanya Chisholm rounded off the ensemble, and did great in their respective parts.

So, check it out if you like that sort of thing. Hannah Montana meets the Naked Brothers Band and such. It's funny, and will surely do well with the preteen female audience. (Though, I'm sure all the boys are late teens to early twenties and are JUST A BIT too old for them...Sorry girls.) Anyways, yes. Watch the show and whatnot.
