BIG TIME LAMENESS!
I can't believe Common Sense rated it on 7+! This show is about 4 (I think) smart alec boys. The show is really snobby and annoying! It's REALLY in your face and loud and SUPER fake! Gustavo (if that's how you spell it) is pretty mean to the boys and if they don't get their way they have to trick them or whatever. The show is lame and the 4 dudes are bad role models for little kids though there is sometimes the odd good message like "If you work together you can get stuff done" or something like that. The boys also refer to girls as chicks and they're kinda girl obsessed. DON'T WASTE YOU TIME!

the best!
This show is the best! Really nobody in my family agrees with me. But if you have not seen it or you don't like it then too bad. Because this show is the best! =)

Stupid slapstick cartoonish show should be on Disney Channel for it's stupidity.
I agree with WaterNymph. This show IS boring. The jokes are from over one thousand different movies, books, shows, etc. Nickoledon has incredibly stupid shows. So stupid that I don't even remember if there were ever any good shows even from back then. 1. The boys act like complete idiots, which is unrealistic considering they're teenagers. 2. What's up with the sound effects? If they want sound effects so bad then they should've made this a cartoon! 3. There songs are annoying. It sucks because they're actually pretty talented, but the tunes are just-- Ugh! Nickelodeon needs to find something better to create.

This is an ok show. I used to watch it in the early months of 2010. It's not the best show. It's somewhat entertaining.

NOT BAD AT ALL!
The show is a very different show compared to the JONAS series (what a bunch of DORKS at DISNEY) The show inspires tweens to go for their dreams (it inspired a few friends of mine to go to Nick Casting Calls in Miami actually even I went) It's creative and fun to watch each character has a personality that sets him or her apart (ex Kendall is more of a leader while Logan is the awkward yet funny nerd) Not bad for a teen sitcom!!!!!!! Also the songs are catchy and radio-esque and ready to be hits!

What is this another Disney V.S. Nick show?
Eh, I gave it a shot. Only of course to be disapointed again. It's like a Jonas Brother thing except none of them are related. The little girl is alright, but the guys.... eh. Why can't there be shows about something OTHER than being famous? I mean, I guess the show could be worse, but the acting isn't very good, and the guys are constantly gushing over some 'hot chic' that comes along. Now its onto "he just kissed my girlfriend!" thing. Sigh..... Here we go. If people want to direct shows, be a little more creative.

I LOVE this show. Sure, It has kissing like when Camille in "Big Time Love Song" Came out of nowhere and kissed Logan, and sometimes people kiss (Mostly Camille kissing Logan) But that's it! That's life! People kiss! It's human nature!!! I never miss an episode and i think it is really funny. They say Jerk or Shut Up or Oh my god alot, but There 16 year old boys! (Well, in real life there 19 and 20) My age kids say MUCH WORSE swares. No joke. The show shows 4 boys who become famous and discover the cutthrout music world, but it is true. It teaches kids what life is like being famous, and thats it not all money and fame. It's a hard life being famous. If you do one wrong thing your thought of a "Bad Rolemodel"

Hypnotising Kids to get into dating
This show is hypnotising kids to get into dating! There is some bf gf thing every episode. And James is too inapropriate. In one episode, all he did was show his abs. The boys act immature too, Kendalls little sister acts like an adult (in cartoons like The Simpsons and Family Guy thats ok, because they arent aimed at young adiences). Then girls saying KENDALL IS MINE,JAMES IS HAWT!, LOGAN IS CUTE!!CARLOS IS AWESOME! etc. is annoying. All kids tune into this show for is to look at the boys. They dont care whats going on. Just pass this one.

Rated E for everyone
Hey, we know they can't sing. Um, so....half of the singers out there can't sing. Yea dey deserve a show, and uh everyone luvs btr...like dey r popping. Hey dey have morales at the end of ur show. Please gustavo is realistic cuz not every1 has 2 b nice. I think that btr but the the color on the tv and stuff. Um, the sound effects is essential. One becuase imagine the movements and reactions of the boys without the sound effects. They dont need 2 act becuse dey r already amazingly skilled...hehe. And this inspires kids that a dream is a dream. Never give up on it. even if ur a in a small town, There is always a person that will discover u. Just like Btr. so back off.

Great show for all ages!
This is a good show for all kids. Very relatable to the oldschool monks tv show. Cute and funny the characters are decent role model who are sweet and try to always do the right things and get their ways at the same time. Great for ages 2 to 200!

BTR, more like Big time ripoff
It's just wannabe singers. It sucks. Sadly, to all you BTR fans, it's a "big time" ripoff of Disney's Jonas. It's not watchable.

Fun tween show is full of irony!
Fun show! Not bad at all! Although I disagree with commonsense about no violence. The show has characters smashing and breaking objects sometimes. There is some fighting too. There is kissing too. Some dating and crushes also. I suggest this show for tweens!

It's not meant to be realistic, just enjoy it
Ok, so this show isn't realistic. Ok, the plot line isn't the best. But seriously, it is not meant to be a realistic representation of a real teen band who make it big, it is just meant to be some light hearted comedy for teens. I find it to be a funny show that is great when you just want to chill with some tv that doesn't involve too much thinking. All the people who talk about how the boys manipulate the adults, etc are thinking too far into it. Seriously, there is no swearing, violence or sexual behaviour. There is no drugs or drinking either. If you are that concerned, talk to your kids about how it is unrealistic or just don't let them watch it. But as a teen, myself I don't think that there are some massive issues with it. IT IS NOT MEANT TO BE REALISTIC, IT IS MEANT TO BE LIGHT HEARTED TV.
