Since the Jonas Bros were already a media creation,
Disney decided to do the most logical thing they could do
create a show ala the "Monkeys" or the "Partridge
Family" around the brothers, and for the most part
it works very well. There are some odd issues where the
comedy seems very forced and really not all that good. "Rockin
The House" comprises (5) episodes of the Disney Channel
original series. It was originally set to air in (Jan of
'08) it was postponed due to the writers strike. It finally
aired more then a year later in (may of '09.) ***
This release has five episodes in "Wrong Song"
the first episode. In it Nick played by Nick Jonas falls
hard for a girl named Penny but his brothers are absolutely
convinced that's he's fallen head-over heels to quickly
for this girl. In episode 2 "Groovy Movies" the
brothers want to surprise their mom played by Rebecca Creskoff
with a gift but they wreck a prized heirloom in the process.
In episode 3 "Slice Of Life" (this episode is
incorrectly called "Pizza Girl" all three of the
brothers are attracted to a pizza delivery girl and they
compete against each other to see who can woo her first.
In episode 5 "Band's Best Friend" Carl an old
friend of the brothers comes to see them, but he has an
ulterior motive for seeing them.In episode (6) "Chasing
the Dream" Kevin Played by Kevin Jonas gives Macy played
by Nicole Anderson a chance to sing as a backup singer,but
she's lousy so now he gives her the bad news that she can't
sing and that the brothers won't use her as a backup. ***
Two as of yet un-aired episodes in "Beauty and
the Beat" the brothers become judges for the "Miss
Most Amazing Teen Contest",but judging becomes a pain when
their best friend and would-be fashion designer Stella played
by Chelsea Staub becomes a contestant in the contest. Inspired
by what took place at the Miss Teen USA Pageant in '07 .In
the final bonus episode "Cold Shoulder" a friend
of Kevin's comes to visit from Scandinavia but through Kevin
loves her for it everyone around he thinks that the two
of them make an odd couple.Well all & all it's a really
good release through the question remains why was episode
4 deleted from this release. ---
Image and Sound: "Jonas Rockin The House"
is in 1.33.1 full screen and is in Dolby Digital 5.1 with
Dolby 2.0 surround sound. The quality is much different
then most of the other Disney channel original comedy's
instead of being recorded live with a studio audience, It's
shot like a network drama.The audio is front and center
channel, also with subs in English SDS & Spanish as well.
---
Unfortunately this has the same problem as other Disney
Channel releases why aren't they using the HD Masters instead
of full screen (it's just a personal preference through).
Even through it's a good but there are some minor sound
problems on the DVD the sound fades in & out, through some
of the Disney Channel original series that have been released
on DVD have this same problem. Hopefully this will finally
be corrected when new versions come out on Blu-ray.
