DVD Review: Big Time Rush: Season One, Volume Two

My family and I recently received a copy of the new DVD Big Time Rush: Season One, Volume Two to review.


Big Time Rush: Season One, Volume Two picks up mid-season, where Gustavo sets up an important interview with a big-time blogger named Deke. His idea to get the band some good publicity doesn't exactly go as planned, when the boys end up kidnapping Deke. (LOL!!) This kicks off sort of a theme for the rest of the season, where things don't always quite go as planned, and the boys may have to work a little harder than expected. Gustavo ends up moving in with the boys, they have to find perfect dates for a big dance at school, Hollywood Fever hits the band, and they get to make their first music video. Season two ends as a TV movie with the boys, on the eve of the album release, being told they aren't what the record company wants. Determined to prove them wrong, the guys return home to Minnesota and plan a big concert with Gustavo's help.

Big Time Rush definitely caters to the 'tween girls crowd, and it's easy to see why - you have the combination of cute boys, fun pop music, and some seriously funny scenes that even parents can't resist laughing at. The final seven episodes of this first season includes some more great guest episodes including Jordin Sparks, Ed Begley Jr, and of all the folks - Fabio (LOL!!!).

Big Time Rush: Season One, Volume Two does contain a few bonus features including a behind the scenes look at the show, where you'll ride to the mansion and some other fun tidbits. It also includes the pilot episode to the new Nickelodeon show House of Anubis.

Big Time Rush: Season One, Volume Two will be released this Tuesday, June 21st, 2011. The two disc DVD set is not rated (I rate it PG) and is full screen format, with a total running time of 192 minutes long. The suggested retail price is $19.99, but Amazon has it available for $13.99 as of this posting. (Netflix users: this DVD set is currently available to add to your DVD queue)

You know the drill: I received a copy of this DVD in order to view it and share my thoughts on it. All opinions are my own.
