Reviews
Jonas (2009)
In the vein of the classic Beatles films...
...such as "A Hard Day's Night" or "Help" (in fact, a nod to the latter can be seen in the first episode) and the delightfully kitschy Monkees television show, comes "JONAS", the story of three famous, musically inclined brothers who make their home in a fire station and are just trying to live "normal" lives, while inadvertently getting themselves into some fairly wacky situations. The show is chock-full of sight gags, slapstick, wonderfully silly one-liners, and it never fails to crack me up at least a little. The Jonas Brothers (even Frankie, the Bonus Jonas, is along for the ride), while basically playing themselves in the series, do so in an almost genius, exaggerated fashion; the rest of the cast supports well and plays their roles with equal prowess. Bottom line: "JONAS" is a fantastically fun, impressive addition to the Disney Channel line-up.
Trust Me (2009)
The world of advertising has never been more entertaining!
Never mind the negative reviews; perhaps because 'trust me' isn't the typical mainstream fodder one sees so much of on television these days, that's made some people decide they don't like it before they've really given it a chance. All I can say is, I love this show! TV Guide and others know what they're talking about. The premise is unique and interesting, the characters memorable, engaging and superbly portrayed by the brilliant cast. Besides that, call me odd, I'm a fan of product placement, and I'm glad 'trust me' not only embraces its internal commercials, but can incorporate them directly into plot lines.
Bottom line: regardless of whether 'trust me' is actually the best series on television, it is far from the worst.; If the naysayers weren't looking for what they're used to instead of trying something new, as it were, they could see that.
