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.

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:

Okay, so this show isn't at all what I had expected. The format is much, much too similar to Hannah Montana. I was really disappointed that it wasn't given another angle other than a famous band trying to live as normal kids. That scenario is now a wee bit tired.

That being said, while you can't call them good actors by any stretch of the imagination, they are really, really endearing. Some jokes really made me laugh out loud and I think they all have great chemistry with one another, it's really super fun to see them just be brothers! The show definitely works best when it focuses on the relationship between the three brothers, whereas the episodes that explore love interests can get a little boring. The placement of the music in the show is hit or miss. Sometimes it works, sometimes it's hilarious and sometimes I wished I could have fast- forwarded through it.

The show didn't meet my expectations, but I find it cute nevertheless.

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.

I think this show has gotten too much criticism from people who dislike the Jonas Brothers. It needs to be kept in mind that JONAS was meant to be a kids' show targeted at fans of the boys. At best, JONAS is a kid friendly comedy sure to draw in young and old fans alike. I won't trash it - this is just my opinion.

Personally, I'm not a fan of the Jo Bros, but I am a fan of the Disney Channel in general. I'm eighteen years old and I still love watching shows like The Suite Life and Wizards. They have appealing, original characters, and the situations, while unbelievable, are engaging and creative. It's easy to get attached to the characters and their world. While I appreciate JONAS as a children's show, I think it lacks those qualities. The situations are used, the humor is trite, and the characters (particularly Macy and Stella) are stereotypical and shallow. It's just my opinion, but I find nothing engaging about their situations. In the last episode I watched the plot revolved around Joe accidentally dying their clothing blue. I was hoping for at least one laugh, but I was instead disappointed by a parade of unfunny jokes.

If you're a fan of Joe, Kevin, and Nick, then I'm sure you'll enjoy JONAS. But if you're simply looking for a quality Disney comedy, I would not suggest this one.
