Jonas Brothers to get their own Disney TV show
The Jonas Brothers are taking over the world. At least, that’s how it seems to those of us who are tying to ignore them. It’s getting harder to avoid them, though: they currently have the #1 CD on the Billboard charts, and their TV movie “Camp Rock” is rapidly approaching mania of “High School Musical” status. I don’t really get it; they seem like little more than another Hanson to me. But they’ve garnered enough popularity to land their own show on the Disney Channel.
After the success of their TV movie Camp Rock, the Jonas Brothers are now prepping for their own Disney Channel original series.
“It’s going to be about us as a band but dealing with normal things like trying to take out the trash and not get hounded by fans,” Joe Jonas tells ELLEgirl magazine about the as-yet untitled series. “It’s going to be a funny show, and it’s going to be a great cast.”
The show – originally about the boy band living a double life as spies – has recently undergone a conceptual change. The trio, who just released their third studio album, A Little Bit Longer, told Ryan Seacrest on his KISS-FM radio show that the series will now be more like HBO’s Flight of the Conchords.
Yeah, except Flight of the Choncords is funny, edgy and enjoyable to watch. You know, the one good thing about being the next big teen sensation is that sooner or later, you grow up and your voice changes, and there’ll be some other floppy-haired, squeaky voiced kid right behind you ready to take your place. So I’ll continue plugging my ears and crossing my fingers- after all, when was the last time Hanson had a big hit?
