Summary: 4 Stars
The Jonas Brothers began development on their new Disney Channel Original Series which was set to premiere in January 2008 but due to the Guild Writers Strike, the series was delayed and premiered on television in May 2009.
The comedy series is reminiscent to another classic music-based comedy shows such as "The Partridge Family" or "The Monkeys" in which the storylines focus on a topic and is essentially a comedy series. Also, similar to those classic shows, the Jonas Brothers perform a song relating to the show.
"JONAS" revolves around three brothers who are in a popular band known as JONAS. Here is a summary of the primary characters of the show:
THE LUCAS FAMILY
Kevin Lucas (Kevin Jonas) - The elder brother who loves playing the guitar and his mind sometimes is way out there. And typically the brother who is most willing to do wacky things.
Joe Lucas (Joe Jonas) - The cool member of the group who has a close relationship with the band's fashion stylist and good friend Stella Malone (Chelsea Staub) but doesn't want to hurt their friendship so he never shows any romantic interest in her.
Nick Lucas (Nick Jonas) - The intelligent and calm brother who tries to knock some sense into his two older brothers.
Tom Lucas (John Ducey) - The father and the manager of the group
Sandy (Rebecca Creskoff) - The loving mother
Frankie Lucas (Frankie Jonas) - The younger brother and wants to be in the spotlight like his older brothers.
Other Characters:
Stella Malone (Chelsea Staub) -A childhood friend of the Lucas brothers, who literally grew up with Joe Jonas when they were young toddlers. She is attracted to Joe but doesn't want to ruin their friendship but she does get jealous when Joe has his attention set on other girls.
Macy Misa (Nicole Anderson) - Stella's good friend and the band's #1 fan who tends to cause the Lucas brothers some problems at times.
In the first volume of "JONAS: Rockin' the House", the DVD features the following episodes:
* Groovy Movies (Episode 2) - The guys want to surprise their mother with a gift but accidentally destroy a major prized possession.
* Wrong Song (Episode 1) - Nick is falling for a girl named Penny and his brothers are concerned that he's falling head-over-heels to quickly for her.
* Pizza Girl (Episode 3) - All Lucas brothers are attracted to their pizza delivery girl and the brothers compete against each other on who can impress her first.
* Band's Best Friend (Episode 5) - Carl, a childhood friend of the brothers come to visit but has ulterior motives on why he is visiting them.
* Chasing the Dream (Episode 6) - Kevin gives Macy a chance to become a backup singer but her vocals are very bad. How will he break it to her that he can't use her?
* BONUS EPISODE: Beauty and the Beat - The guys become judges for the "Miss Most Amazing Teen Competition", but judging the girls become difficult when Stella becomes a contestant.
* BONUS EPISODE: Cold Shoulder - Kevin's friend from Scandinavia comes to America but although Kevin loves her for her, everyone around them think that they are a strange couple. Meanwhile, someone is posting pictures of the JONAS members on the fan website.
VIDEO & AUDIO:
"JONAS: Rockin' the House - Volume 1' is presented in Full Screen (1:33:1) and is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 and 2.0 Surround Sound. The picture quality is different from other Disney Channel shows in that it's filmed like a drama series and is not in front of a live audience. Audio quality is front and center channel-driven and dialogue is understandable and music is clear.
Subtitles are featured in English SDH and Spanish.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
"JONAS: Rockin' the House - Volume 1' comes with the following special features:
* BONUS EPISODES - Two unaired episodes: Beauty and the Beast and Cold Shoulder
* You Just Been Jo Bro'd! - Suprising Chelsea Staub - (11:19) Similar to a show like `Punk'd', the Jonas Brothers prank their co-star Chelsea Staub.
* Dylan & Cole Sprouse: Blu-Ray is Suite - (4:45) A featurette about Blu-ray and High Definition.
* Learn How to Take Your Favorite Movies on the Go - (1:03) A Featurette explaining what a Disney Digital Copy is.
JUDGMENT CALL:
As a guy who has reviewed many shows from female and male idol groups worldwide, "JONAS: Rockin' the House - Volume 1' is one of those shows that I found fun, but also campy but know that the series will more than likely appeal to the Jonas Brothers fans. And for fans, especially the parents, this is a solid DVD release that you'll definitely get your money's worth.
Some shows are just too campy such as "Groovy Movies" in which the brother's try to re-enact their childhood home videos (after accidentally destroying the original copies of their mother's home video collection) as a birthday present for their mom. Or the episode "Cold Shoulder" in which Kevin Lucas and his Scandinavian girlfriend start doing a dance similar to the 70's "The Hustle" despite the chagrin of everyone watching them. But then there are episodes that are just crazy and hilarious such as the bonus episode "BEAUTY & THE BEAT" in which the episode is very similar to the real life situation of what happened during the Miss Teen USA 2007 but for the character of Stella.
But for the most part, even the past classic shows of "The Partridge Family" and "The Monkeys" had their share of campiness as well, but it all comes down to the viewers and their fans and if they are entertained by it. I grew up with the music-based show "Kids Inc." (which starred the Black Eyed Peas member FERGIE) back in the late 80's which is probably uber-campy now but at the time, as a child, I absolutely loved that show. Nevertheless, this show is for the Jonas Brothers fans and for families looking for family-fun entertainment, "JONAS: Rockin' the House - Volume 1' is entertaining and fun.
And I think it was very cool for Disney to also include two bonus episodes along with the five that are included. So, nevertheless, fans (especially the parents) are getting their money's worth with this release.
So, for the Jonas Brothers fans, if you enjoyed "JONAS" on the Disney Channel, you'll definitely enjoy volume 1 of "JONAS: Rockin' the House" and for you, this DVD is definitely recommended!
