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?

I loved jonas the first aNd second season! And I thought they canceled it because the Jonas brothers wanted to focus on their music and who cares it their show wasn’t that great as hm it’s still awesome! I Jonas!
JONAS was my favorite show on disney channel, Kevin, Joe, and Nick are not only talented musicians but they are talented actors too. Nicole and Chelsea are also great actors and I loved the first season but the 2nd season was better I feel because they episodes connected and not just random episodes, they had a connecting story throughout the whole season, the only thing I didn’t like about season two was that John Deucy only returned for one episode. I did not expect JONAS to get cancelled and I wish that disney channel would have kept one of their… Read more »
I loved season one and two of jonas. To me season 1 was better cause it was geared to be funny. It was complete disney material. Who really cares about hannah montana if they brought jonas back after wizards end I bet it will do better. Jonas la should be on a channel like teen nick. It was a lil too mature for younger audiences. The characters matured and had more personality than in the first which I like. All together it shouldn’t of ended. I was so looking forward to another jonas season. And to all the jonas fans,… Read more »
And the Jonas brother show is not a baby show.. if u wanna see a baby show. Go watch the “Tele Tubbies”.. or “You gabagaba”
the Jonas brother show should not be cancelled. Jonas L.A. was the show that most people looked forward to watching, including me. I grew up with the show.. whe nthe show came out and even now. Im a huge fan of the Jonas Brothers and always will be. I look up at Nick Jonas… he has diabetis.. and so does my mom. Ill be 18years old in September this year. Who cares if Hannah Montana got more votes. The Jonas brother should stay on Disney Channel. Alot of people are gonna be disapointed.. and may never watch Disney again. The… Read more »
thank u someone with a brain. hannah montana isn’t that great to me mainly cause miley cyrus went bad. and by bad i mean way way way way bad. if someone asked me about disney stars going bad the first celeb that comes to mind is miley
Aww man! I LOVED both seasons. I came online to search when it would be coming back for the summer and am so sad to find out it won’t be!! They are such fun guys to watch and the girls are darling. I think it would have been really cool to have a combination of the 2 series – where they go back and forth to their firehouse home and L.A. and do shows, etc. Bummer!!!!! Come back Jonas!!!!
Thanks god. I hate the Jonas brothers. We’re 1 step closer to kill this baby stuff.
baby stuff my butt! what kind of idiot r u!!!! ur pic is of my little pony and you think jonas is baby stuff. don’t worry i’m sure u’ll find a therapist/ animal control who doesn’t run away screaming. if u want something babyish go for tele tubbies i mean it’s so right for you. ur language practically scream i’m too young 4 jonas and i’m sixteen that’s y i hate it aaaaaw don’t worry my brother has a baby sister who has a babysitter and i’m sure my baby sis will let u borrow her after all she’s tele… Read more »
I hated the first season of Jonas. I thought there was NO plot and it was boring and it was just stupid humor. The music in the first season wasn’t even that good. The second season however… I LOOOOVED IT!!!! I watched teh whole season of Jonas LA, all the episodes, 3 times through at least!! There was more of a plot, better music, and Joe and Stella finally ended up together… and Nick and Macy are SOOO cute!! Sonny with a Chance is OKAY… but it’s pretty lame at times. Shake it up and Fish Hooks… are stupid. Hannah… Read more »
wow u had a lot 2 say and boy r u right. well most of it. the first season wasn’t that bad mainly because i was still pretty young when that season came out. anyway my point is Nick and Macy are adorbs. i love them so much. i voted them in my school as disney couple of the century. i loved it when Kiara popped up and made Nick so cute when he sang to Macy. i memorised the whole song and showed my whole class the video and during taken show i won against 300 people with that… Read more »
I am almost 25 years old and LOVE the Disney channel, I have watched it all growing up and now have 2 children and a hubby to watch it with me. My husband and I agreed that season 1 of Jonas was dumb because they made them out to be nerds and well it was very very cheesy with a small plot. Jonas L.A. however is a totally different story. I personally loved it! The characters were much more mature, the relationships were very fun to watch develop. It was like one big episode and was so fun to have… Read more »
My comment was deleted in the middle on accident it was suppose to say 1. The 1st season wasn’t very good so it could have turned viewers away…the songs weren’t about anything and how realistic is it that they were all in high school together, and spent all of their time together….they are 3 different people with different talents and are different ages. There is life beyond High School….and I think Nick was the only one actually under 18 at the time. 2.Season 2 the characters and plot matured. I loved it because it was geared towards people my age(15-25… Read more »
hannah montana isn’t that good. the idea of having 2 worlds sounded fun at first then when i watch the show i didn’t like it. i actually would have liked it more if i didn’t expect so much from it. they should have not used the expression “best of both worlds” because someone like me has a very sensitive and active imagination and that’s y i’ll make a good author one day but the point is if Disney wants 2 be amazing it has to make sure if it uses lots of expectations lines it gives people everything they expected… Read more »
Yay! Thank god these untalented non-Disney ****heads got canceled! Now Disney go back to what you used to be! And your starting up with that good with Fish Hooks i actually think it’s pretty damn good reminds me of something in the 90’s and Phineas and Ferb is also pretty cool but it’s almost getting close to where it might suck but well see. Thank god this **** is gone! **** jonas brothers they cant sing or even act for that matter Fish hooks and Phineas and Ferb FTW!
ur just jealous. i mean u don’t have an infiniteeth of the talent they have. fish hooks? phineas and ferb? how old r u? the message i wrote around the top for camigaret is also directed 2 u. animation only seriously? there’s a reason there’s cebeebies and disney junior. for that kind of baby stuff. u should check it out i’m sure u’ll like it.
After Joe and Stella finally get together, they end the story. What a disappointment! There is so much more they could do. They were in L.A. The perfect place to showcase their talent. its true there was more drama but the acting was great. You could actually feel for the characters. The show definitely was geared towards an older audience(teens and 20’s). As it should be. The Jonas brothers themselves are not children anymore. They have evolved into multi-talented individuals. I would love to see the series continue on a another network where an older audience would be more likely… Read more »
i think its stupid that the show was canceled!! That was the only show that i liked on disney channel and me and my family loved it. why should they cancel it if it attracked so much people the only reason the last episode of hanna montana forever attracked way more people is because we all knew that was the last one ever and it is a very old show. I bet if they would have announced that the last jonas la was going to be “band of the brothers” a lot of people would have watched it to but… Read more »
im so upset the show was cancelled it was a good show who doesnt want to watch jonas. all those new shows are lame but jonas wasnt WE WANT JONAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3
I thought the 1st season of JONAS was better because it was more of a comedy, and it had a lot more variety of situations going on, and I think the acting was better. The only major improvement to this show was the music because there was a lot of musical variety on the soundtrack, but I’m really disappointed in the guys, especially Kevin and Joe, who were only involved in writing 1 song, “Your Biggest Fan”. Nick, I’m proud of him 4 co-writing 7 songs, it shows his growth as a musician. This season had 2 much drama, and… Read more »
I didn’t watch the first season but I think the 2 one was really good it was way better then the first. It was more fun to watch the 1 season was really boring but who cares if they didn’t get 7.3 million. It is Hannah montanna no body can beat hm. Plus there is lots if unanswered stuff to bout all of it.
no one can beat hm. we did a vote in 5 schools in the same region and jonas bros came out as no. 10 but it’s not bad considering it was against 100 shows and also the fact that m came out as no.60 ha! take that
