Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream

The new short form series Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream, starring teen pop stars Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas, will premiere this Friday, May 16 (7:55 p.m., ET/PT) on the Disney Channel. The series takes fans behind the scenes for a look at the brothers' roller coaster ride to mega fame, and how they stayed together as a family through it all.

The Jonas Brothers' rise to fame has been fast and furious. In the last year, the band completed two sold-out U.S. tours, most recently breaking the record for fastest ticket sell out in the history of the Gibson Amphitheatre (Los Angeles). Their album went Platinum in the U.S., Mexico and Argentina and is Gold in Canada, Colombia, Venezuela and Central America. Coming up, the brothers will star in Camp Rock , a Disney Channel movie, and a 3-D theatrical release of their "Burning Up" concert tour is scheduled for 2009.

These things can always change, but as of now the boys are great role models for kids and tweens. They have worked hard to achieve success, and their parents have been with them and supporting them the whole time. The new series will likely give kids a glimpse of Jonas family life, and hopefully help convince tweens that parents can be cool, sometimes.
