The Jonas brothers may still be popular with the younger set but apparently not enough of them are interested in watching the JONAS TV show. Disney has cancelled the series after 34 episodes and two seasons on the air.
The sitcom began running on the Disney Channel in May 2009 and was a moderate success. JONAS was renewed for a second season but revamped into JONAS LA with the guys moving from the East to West Coast. The first season was made up of 21 installments and Disney ordered a more tentative 13 episodes the second time around.
While the show has averaged a 3.7 million viewers in season two, that’s clearly not meeting the cable channel’s expectations, especially considering the singers’ name recognition. Hannah Montana attracted 7.1 million viewers on Sunday.
A Disney spokesperson told The Wrap that the series’ end was planned, saying, “We’ve been fortunate to work with the enormously talented Jonas Brothers on several projects… The series has concluded as scheduled after two very successful seasons, and all original episodes of its second season have aired… We look forward to working with them on new projects in the future.”
The series finale of JONAS LA, titled “Band of Brothers,” aired on October 3rd and attracted 3.5 million viewers.
What do you think? Why wasn’t the show a bigger success? Are you sorry that it’s been cancelled?

Awwwww I’m gonna miss Jonas L.A. It was one of my favorite shows! I’m epecially gonna miss looking forward to the next show! PLEASE KEEP THE SHOW!!!!
Kiana from Cali, I agree and will add to your views. I am a parent of an 8 year old, and had absolutely no hesitance in letting my daughter watch Jonas and Jonas LA. My wife and I watched with her, and thoroughly enjoyed the story arc of Jonas LA — even moaning out loud with each “to be continued” of the final few episodes. The Jonas/LA shows were done without a laugh track, so no one was telling you what was supposed to be funny — which is a big beef we have had with all the other live… Read more »
i think that jonas la was the best they should int cancel the show hannah montana was a little borring and also because the show was almost over
Jonas LA was a good show, but it definately was not shown enough. Disney seems like they are trying to ‘Throw the Game’ these days. “Shake it Up” Had its Debut on Saturday night, it was terrible. And the “Fish Cartoon?” Again, Does Disney Not care? Stick with your ‘STARS’, “Suite Life On Deck” and “Pheius and Ferb” I Laugh, My little sister Laughs and My Parents will actually watch and Laugh as well saying “They Love the Hiden Humor” then tell me “I wouldnt understand” Whatever that means. Wizards is Okay, though my Parents say “Alex Russo’s Characters Attitude… Read more »
their show didn’t suck the only reason that Hannah Montana got more hits its because they knew it was her last show ever to be made of Hannah Montana.
The dad (John Ducie) carried the show. The show should have been built around him, not the kids.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Jonas LA was my Fav show and pretty much the only reson i even watched disney and btw NO ONE cares how many fews hannah montana got rly its ending ne way and dang disneys acting like the show only got 1 few instead of 3.7 millilion. Im offishaly NEVER watching Disney channle again….. wat can i say im a very rebel for wat i belive in person and rly disneys stupid to cancel it.

Awww i am 16 and I love the jonas boys now and forever sad to see this go!
im sooo upset that the show is cancellleddd its my favorite show in the whole world!!!! imma miss getting anxious to see the next episode… the show was amazing!!!!
My 12 year old and I am a HUGE FANS of Jonas Brothers. I am sorry to see that the show was cancelled. I believe the show didn’t really portray the actual persons they are. I think maybe the writers were trying to make them younger than they really are and made them to just plain silly. Nick, as the youngest, was playing a more mature role then Joe and Kevin. Maybe Disney producer and writers just got the wrong time line (high school)for the Jonas Brothers Season 1. Jonas LA was a bit better, but you still had the… Read more »
omg they cant do this ok i know people say they should but there good romdels to little kids im 15 and still love their music the should not do this
i agree im 15 too and their the best role models out there 🙂
As far as I am concerned the Jonas Brothers need to simply go away. Their singing ability is questionable and their acting talent is seriously lacking.
Actually, sorry to hear it… my stepdaughter and I watch it with the other Disney shows and the first season was like watching the Monkees… I didn’t like the second season at all…
They should never have left the East Coast. Shame on them. They’re getting exactly what they deserved. I’m a former fan.
I will miss the show. Even thought the east coast version was way better than the west coast version. I love the J. Bros.
Their fan base finally hit puberty and realized the show sucked!
