J.O.N.A.S. comments from the Jonas Brothers!
So what do those adorable boys have to say about their TV show? Thanks to Life Story magazine, I was able to find out!
Kevin: "It's definately fun and very
Austin Powers-ish. I also think it's a little more mature then some of the other shows on the Disney Channel. And being a single-camera show, it gives us amazing opprotunities to try different things. When the subject first came up, we told them that we didn't want it to be cheesy. We wanted there to be stunts and for the episodes to be action-packed."
Joe: "On the show, we're government agents. The bad guys are always trying to take over the teen world and our cover is that we are in a band, the Jonas Brothers, and our mission is to stop them. People on the show will know us as a band who have started to make it in the music industry, but we may leave a concert to stop a villain who's trying to destroy the world.
"It's
really funny. When we were watching it, we got so caught up that we were laughing like we'd forgotten we were in it. Shooting the pilot was the greatest experience ever, and the single camra approach is exactly what we wanted. Having a lughtrack is great, but this gives people the opprotunity to laugh for themselves; it doesn't feel like somebody is laughing for you. We had such a great time, because we were able to do so much. We could film things outside and we could have huge tour buses in the shot. It was so amazing and cool.
"It's definately really cool because theres a lot of action stuff and fighting. We had to undergo Kung Fu training for it! Growing up with shows like
Even Stevens - and now Shia LeBeouf is one of the biggest stars in Hollywood - we always said that a show we did should be like that one where you can film in different places. Shows like
The Suite Life Of Zack & Cody are restricted to their sets. With our show, we can build different sets every day. We could have a big warehouse and they would build a school in it one day. Than the next day, they wouls knock it down and build an evil lair. It's just unbelievable."
Nick: "What we love about it is that it's just a really cool concept. It's got an amazing, unique feel to it and it feels a lot different from everything else that's out there. And it's a great opprotunity for us to play exaggerated versions of our own selves."
