Growing the Beard: By re-tooling into ''Jonas L.A.', the overall quality of the show has arguably improved. The character of Macy has grown by leaps and bounds, as well.
Actually, you could say this happened once they started treating the Joe/Stella relationship seriously in Season One.
Harsher in Hindsight: The final episodes of the show teasing the band falling out, plus a joke in "Complete Repeat" Joe (semi-sarcastically) says "Nick, don't worry if we have to cancel the tour and the album", become much harder to watch after they really did break up due to Creative Differences in 2013, complete with cancelling their planned tour and album (although they did not fall out with each other and eventually reformed six years later).
Heartwarming Moments: Groovy Movies, when they remake the home movies to try and make up for accidentaly destroying them. Also something of a Tear Jerker when they play them for her at the end.
Ho Yay: The first episode has Stella ripping off Macy's shirt.
Moment of Awesome: In the episode 'Double Date', Macy Misa righteously put Van Dyke in his place:
Macy: (to Van Dyke) Hi - remember me? Van Dyke: Oh, yeah - you're that girl-dude. At the inter-league baseball game - you struck me out seven times.
Macy: Actually, it was eleven times.
Van Dyke: Ah, well - who's counting?
Macy: The officials were. Yeah, they wrote it in the record book - and on that trophy. (points to trophy case behind her)
Van Dyke: Yeah, well - you were dressed like a guy.
Macy: Yeah - but you cried like a girl.
Van Dyke: Fair enough.
The word is OWNED.
Macy hustling Nick and Kevin in "A Wasabi Story". Same for Joe hustling them at the end of the episode.
