May 2, 2009 – The Disney Channel Original Series JONAS Premieres
”You gotta live to party, bust your move, everybody’s in the groove!”
On May 2, 2009, the Disney Channel Original Series JONAS premiered. The series featured the then-popular boy band The Jonas Brothers, and was similar in format to shows in the 1960s, such as The Monkees and The Partridge Family. The series tells the story of the band JONAS, featuring the Lucas brothers Joe, Kevin, and Nick, and how they try and manage regular teenage lives with superstardom. It was the second sitcom series in the DCOS lineup not to feature a live-studio audience or a laugh track. After being renewed for a second season, the series was renamed Jonas L.A., reflecting the change of venue to Los Angeles, California. The show lasted for two seasons with 34 episodes, and ended October 3, 2010. The series received mixed to negative reviews from critics and audiences alike. The series was created by Michael Curtis and Roger S. H. Schulman, and starred Kevin Jonas as Kevin Lucas, Joe Jonas as Joe Lucas, Nick Jonas as Nick Lucas, Chelsea Staub as Stella Malone, Nicole Anderson as Macy Misa, and John Ducey as Tom Lucas.
