| 1 | * CreatorBacklash: Joe Jonas said in 2013 that he didn’t have fond memories of the show. |
| 2 | * TheDanza: Nick, Joe, Kevin and Frankie, though their surname is changed from Jonas to Lucas. |
| 3 | * 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 "''Series/HannahMontana'' [[JustForFun/XMeetsY meets]] ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible''"-type setup. For unknown reasons, that premise was dropped in favor of a standard KidCom[=/=]DomCom. |
| 4 | * DuelingWorks: With ''Series/BigTimeRush,'' another sitcom centered around the wacky antics of a boy band being heavily promoted by their respective networks at the exact same time. |
| 5 | * DyeingForYourArt: [[Creator/ChelseaStaub Chelsea Kane]], who dyes her hair blonde to play Stella. Acknowledged InUniverse in one episode where Macy's newspaper describes her as a "fake blonde". |
| 6 | * 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. |
| 7 | * RealitySubtext: Around the time the last few episodes of Jonas L.A. was being written (and filmed), Music/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.) |
| 8 | * ScrewedByTheNetwork: Eventually rectified. Its original time slot was Saturday at 8:00 p.m., right up against competition ranging from Series/{{iCarly}}'s "iDate a Bad Boy" special and a thrilling Chicago Bulls-Boston Celtics NBA playoff series; but after seeing the show get hammered, Creator/DisneyChannel had it more to their standard Sunday night slot. |
