Big Time Rush

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.

So i just finished the entirety of this show after seeing it get put on netflix and im so in love. I love the way they show the band being made and include their music and the hour long specials and the guys' friendship. It all just reminded me sm of my childhood and all the side characters, like gustavo kelly katie kendall's mom and camille are all so likeable its hard not to make this a comfort show. Boyfriend is the best song they ever made and james maslow can HAVE. IT. ALL. Nick honestly made such great shows and all ages can enjoy it tbh like i highkey unironically stan BTR and i'll take that to my grave!!

I was an avid BTR fan when the show first aired on Nickelodeon and I was fourteen. James was definitely my favourite in the beginning (this later changed to Kendall, lol) The show had catchy songs and the guys were always up to something.

I'm 22 now and recently found the show on a local streaming service and I've since introduced my little cousins (aged 10 and 6) to this show and they're completely obsessed and know the lyrics to every song word-for-word.

One of my favourite Nick shows by far!!!

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.

The show revolved around depth, passion, comedy and the dedication of four best friends. It was written well, and was fun to watch!
