* HeyWait: Kevin and Nick sneak into detention to rescue Joe to record the band's final demo, despite the fact that Joe would get suspended if they are caught. When Vice Principle Spencer, the teacher monitoring detention, comes back, Kevin and Nick [[PaperThinDisguise poorly hide themselves behind a vase and a skeleton respectively]]. Spencer screams "Aha!" and walks over to Nick as if he spotted him. Fortunately, he was actually walking over to straighten up a science fair banner which happened to be next to Nick. Later, when the brothers are performing a small concert in the hallway, Spencer walks in on them. However, [[BrickJoke he only arrives to straighten up a bake sell banner and leaves completely ignorant of their illegal music playing.

* TheDanza: Nick, Joe, Kevin and Frankie, though their surname is changed from Jonas to Lucas



* DevelopmentHell: The series had a tortured background leading up to the premiere. Originally, the concept was for the group to be a front for secret agents in a "''HannahMontana'' [[XMeetsY meets]] ''KimPossible''"-type setup. For unknown reasons, that premise was dropped in favor of a standard KidCom[=/=]DomCom.



* ExecutiveMeddling: Aside from CutShort and ScrewedByTheNetwork, executive meddling is supposedly the reason it was changed from its original premise as spies posing as a band to what it ended up being.



* RealitySubtext: Around the time the last few episodes of Jonas L.A. was being written (and filmed), NickJonas was working on his side project and Kevin had recently been married, so there were tons of rumors about the band breaking up and the brothers having a falling out, rumors which show up after Nick meets with Montra and Joe gets the offer for the second movie. (Might also double as a TakeThatAudience, considering the emphasis on how they would never really break up or fall out with each other.)



* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Eventually rectified. Its original time slot was Saturday at 8:00 p.m., right up against competition ranging from {{iCarly}}'s "iDate a Bad Boy" special and a thrilling Chicago Bulls-Boston Celtics NBA playoff series; but after seeing the show get hammered, DisneyChannel had it more to their standard Sunday night slot.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The show was originally pitched as ''J.O.N.A.S.
