BTR is so underrated in the sitcom realm, this show felt unique with how it doesn't use laugh tracks for its humour and because of that BTR always stood out to me as a kid. the music still fucks too.

[@zachbennett9134]

Totally agree! Thanks for watching

[@Victoria-_]

AGREED

[@KelpyG.]

There is a TON of sound effects that i didnt remember hearing as a kid.

[@Aerymir]

The laugh tracks are replaced by the most random sound effects though LMAO but it's still fun to watch (Edit: Thx for the like Zach :) And very well done on the video! I've been waiting for a good long BTR retrospective)

​@@KelpyG. I remember the sound effects. I guess that's how they filled in the absence of canned laughter

Gustavo’s assistant on the show was not meant to be a main character by the way, she wasn’t even supposed to have lines originally, just was supposed to make Gustavo look more official. They liked her so much they decided to make her a lead, hence why she wasn’t shown on the main title intro in the 1st season.

[@PatsGlobal]

BTR way too underrated. A banger show with banger music doesn’t come around often, if ever

[@zachbennett9134]

So true!

[@OhNoItsRobo]

one thing about this show that always stood out to me is sure there were sets, but they were full sets, not "2D" and every shot is unique, unlike iCarly and Victorious where everything is pretty much always shot from the same angle. edit: also love how you made full segments about the music itself, as it's genuinely some of the best pop music i've heard and nobody will hear me out about that

[@zachbennett9134]

Yes the sets are very underrated! The unique camera angles also make it way more interesting visually

[@dylanvo6394]

Big Time Rush is really unique for its time, it didn't really get to stand out when it release at first due to other popular Nick sitcoms taking the crown, but now, I think this show being different and unique contrast to other sitcoms is what I think makes it better than the rest. One, It had no laugh tracks and use music which is very creative. Plus, the characters made it feel like they're best friends, and the actors delivered a stellar performances. Also, maybe its just me, but I love most of BTR songs; they're memorable and sometimes can get stuck in my head for how catchy it is.This show I had a solft spot for back in the early 2010s, and is quite nostalgic. Seeing a 4 hour retrospective on this underrated gem of a sitcom is truly something I wanted see, and you did a great job diving in depth to this unforgettable masterpiece.

[@zachbennett9134]

Totally agree! Thank you so much!

[@TheTekkenguy]

Same thing happened to Ned’s Declassified. It was largely overlooked when it was airing but now gains way more love as one of the best and most unique shows on the network.

this only having 7.4k views is a crime; you having less than 300 subs is even more of a crime! BTR was one of my favorite shows growing up, I was 11 when it first started airing here in the Netherlands (2010), and I partly blame BTR for my love of boybands even now. They were my gateway into Kpop, in a way. And, It was thanks to them that I even discovered 1D, They joined them on the Better with U tour. That's where I first heard about 1D, that's even why I gave them a listen for the first time.

[@zachbennett9134]

Oh also I THINK Ronna just likes free things so she enters lots of contests all the time just because ALSO Fun Fact: the series was created by Scott Fellows. Who also created Johnny Test. Which is why there are a TON of Voice Actor cameos. Like Tara Strong playing the PalmWoods teacher, Rob Paulson playing The Evil Coffee Machine AND Super Parrot, and Phil LaMarr playing George Hawk. And that isnt even all of them

Okay you GOTTA watch Ned’s declassified next, I still rewatch it to this day I love it.

[@zachbennett9134]

Yes I’ve heard it’s good! I’ll have to check it out sometime

[@bellatrixm98schannel99]

How is this only your first video!? Truly an amazing video that I’m adding to my playlist! 💟

[@zachbennett9134]

Thank you so much! I appreciate that!

[@the_blackpotatoe1268]

My favorite episode is when Cymphonique Miller came and had a girl group. The song from that episode, I Know You Know is a banger to this day 😌

[@zachbennett9134]

It’s a good one! And yes I Know You Know is such a great song

[@coolunusual]

Bro made an account and just dropped a near 5 hour much needed BTR retrospective that no one else would. Thank you for this, i live off of this content. Haven't gotten through this video yet, but hopefully you can get Neds as Scott's other big show. Thanks again

[@zachbennett9134]

Thanks for that! Yeah I would love to watch Ned at some point

[@igorsurikov9560]

Incredible video. I waited so long for someone to dedicate he's love for this amazing show. Thank you man.

[@zachbennett9134]

Thank you! I’m glad you liked the video!

[@saltykiinq]

this was my favorite nick show growing up, so happy to see you talk abt it in full!! can't wait for pt 2 :D

[@zachbennett9134]

Thanks for watching! Part 2 is on the way

[@Ce13stialBunny]

SoCal in the 60s was big on surfing and drag racing, it was such a huge thing that the two crossed over a lot. Many carsploitation movies made at the time had surf music in them, but a showdown would either be a race or a fight or something like that. Those movies were barely over an hour long and sucked (I love them) The beach episode uses a lot of those tropes.

[@zachbennett9134]

Yeah it’s so funny to see all the tropes they are parodying in that one. Such a great episode

[@jordanne229]

This is a fantastic video! It made me appreciate the show even more than I already did and made me wish I could rewatch it somehow 😄 it was so fun to have all my memories of this show brought back up and to learn more about the music, the games, the unaired pilot! I’m really looking forward to the next part of this series and to hear more of your thoughts!!

[@zachbennett9134]

Thanks so much! More to come!

[@theironduck2524]

I love 5 hour long retrospectives on old sitcoms for 12 year olds, I cant wait to binge this whole video.

[@zachbennett9134]

That’s the spirit! Thanks for watching

[@SuperFanGirl-gp1vo]

Amazing video! I never realized until you talked about it that one of the reasons I liked the BTR series was how little jokes seemed to have more behind it. The way they get brought back up and how characters are recurring is something I love in shows, but not having watched BTR since I was a kid, I never noticed how that seemed to be something they cared about!

[@zachbennett9134]

Yeah that's honestly the most charming thing I've found in this rewatch. Almost like it was tailor made for nostalgists like me lol

[@SuperFanGirl-gp1vo]

@zachbennett9134 It gives the world so much life as well! And as a kid, when a side joke pays off you feel so much more involved in the show. It like "OH! I know what they mean by that!" While a lot of other places (and shows lets be honest) there are things that you know are supposed to be gunny, but have no idea why. Must have been extra work to keep track off as well.

[@lrk54ever]

wow i’d only seen the first episode before this vid but now i’m so invested???? i want to see these guys live

[@zachbennett9134]

They’re actually amazing live! Definitely recommend going to one of their shows if you’re close by

[@blackfyre_]

Zach blessing us with the retrospective we've all needed 🙌

[@zachbennett9134]

Thanks a lot!

Bro's Scott The Wozniak for Big Time Rush

[@zachbennett9134]

Hey all, Zach here

[@ken0304]

BTR (both the band and the show) will always have a special place in my heart because it was something my dad and i could bond over. my family still watches the big time christmas special every year, much to my mom's dismay lol. great video! i really appreciate all the time and passion you dedicated to a NEARLY FIVE HOUR retrospective on BTR. hope you have a great day! :)

[@zachbennett9134]

Thanks for sharing! My family and I also watch the Christmas special every year

[@FinnthehumanFazhog]

3:11:44 Annie is actually a guest from actor Gage Golighty, she played a character from another Nickelodeon show running at the time along with btr called “The Troop” she played the character Hayley Steele, which the show also has an hour long retrospective

[@TheTekkenguy]

Ah yes, Hippie Rat.

[@zachbennett9134]

Oh interesting! So much trivia I never knew about these guest appearances

[@orianaurbina4862]

THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME RELIVE MY CHILDHOOD

[@zachbennett9134]

Yes! Thank you for watching

[@orianaurbina4862]

@@zachbennett9134 looking forward to the next part and i hope this gets more views!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽 u deserve it !

[@flyingfox8447]

Big time rush always reminded me of entourage, but for kids. That’s probably why it’s my second favorite show (after entourage lol). Great video man, I’ve always wanted to see something like this for BTR, a show that is really special to me and many others. Can’t wait for part 2

[@zachbennett9134]

Thanks so much! Definitely a very special show to me too

[@JuliasAltAccount]

55:05 in this scene, Kendall says he wants to go see Jo because he “has a thing for her”. Usually when people say this phrase they mean they like that person in a romantic sense, but for this joke, he literally “has a thing” to give to her, and that’s why it’s just a random object, or “thing”. It was a play on words, trying to say that he liked her (by using a normal phrase) but then they also make a physical joke with it as well. Hope I explained that well lol

[@zachbennett9134]

Yeah I realized that when editing lmao. So underrated

[@800Ms-k6n]

Gustavo and Kelly are my favorite duo of this show. I'd absolutely watch a spin off show of those two just arguing about basically anything for hours 😂. I'm surprised that Kelly managed to work as long as she possibly could as Gustavo's assistant 😂. Two of my favorite moments of them were them pranking each other and Kelly recording Gustavo's vocal for "Superstar" as the BTR boys 😂😂😂😂😂

[@zachbennett9134]

Lol those are both amazing

[@magicalmoon6522]

Just finished the whole video, I LOVE THIS VIDEO SO MUCH! I personally never grew up with BTR, but in December of 2023, I got to see them perform at Jingle Ball in Chicago, I only knew one song of theirs at that time but their performances were very fun! I'm so happy that I decided to watch this video to learn much more about BTR [Also Windows Down is now stuck in my head because IT'S SO CATCHY]! Can't wait for the second part of this video!

[@zachbennett9134]

Thanks so much! Also I agree Windows Down is a total banger

[@mlpdisneylover]

Wow. It’s about time someone made a retrospective in this show. I watched this show as a kid and enjoyed it.

[@zachbennett9134]

Yes! It’s a classic

[@Dizzy8203]

I just realized, I forgot say in my comments: I’m very excited for the second video! You did a great job!

[@zachbennett9134]

Yay! Thank you!

[@crystal2824]

I’m the type of person that sees anything related to the big time rush show and has to click on it, I did not regret watching this. Great video looking forward to part 2!!

[@zachbennett9134]

Thank you very much! Part 2 is on the way

[@Kristianalexis1]

The algorithm sent me here. I used to LOVE this band and show. That calm “New Town High” song lives rent free in my head to this day 😂 I was there up until shortly after the breakup. Shoutout to the Rushers who are able to still enjoy new music now that, as James said, “Big Time Rush is back!”
