JONAS Expected Us to Just Believe They Were Superstars?!

The Jonas Brothers are supposed to be global superstars...but has JONAS actually shown us that yet? 🤨🎸

This week on Friends of Disney, we're continuing our JONAS rewatch with Episode 4, as the Jonas family attempts to spend some time being a “normal family.”

Mrs. Jonas wants Joe, Nick and Kevin to live a little more like ordinary teenagers — doing chores, having family dinners and cutting back on some of the ridiculous perks that come with being famous. But there's one problem: the episode also expects us to believe these three are enormous superstars without the show doing much to establish it.

And that leads us down a rabbit hole.

We debate whether Mrs. Jonas is asking too much of her sons, whether being famous should change normal family expectations, why the brothers are more concerned about disappointing their mom than their own safety, and whether this storyline happened WAY too early in the series.

Plus, we get a bizarre trip to a thrift store, Macy going full fangirl, questionable disguises, exhausted Jonas Brothers, private jets for pizza, and one very important comparison to Big Time Rush.

🎸 Does JONAS rely too much on the audience already knowing the real Jonas Brothers were famous?

🏠 Was Mrs. Jonas asking for a reasonable “normal family” life?

😴 How many chores are reasonable when your kids are literally falling asleep standing up?

📺 And did this episode age particularly badly now that we're watching JONAS years removed from peak Jonas Brothers mania?

This might be our least favorite JONAS episode so far — but it gave us plenty to question.

Do you remember this episode? And do you think JONAS actually did a good job establishing the brothers as superstars?
