Big Time Rush

- Season 1

(2010)

Kendall Knight, James Diamond, Carlos Garcia, and Logan Mitchell are four high school hockey fans from Minnesota. They are given an opportunity by record producer, Gustavo Rocque, to move to Hollywood as part of his latest boy band project known as Big Time Rush. Along the way, they stay at the no-so-luxurious Palm Woods Hotel in Hollywood and face an uptight hotel manager, grueling recording sessions, corporate bureaucracy, crazed fans, meet girls, cause chaos, and go on other adventures. Kendall's mother and sister Katie join the four boys and have hilarious romps ...

Kendall, Carlos, James, and Logan are required to attend four hours at school. However, instead of going to school at the Palmwoods Hotel, which they all have their own fantasies about, Gustavo insists that they attend school at his recording studio, which operates out of a supply closet. Katie want to go to the Palmwoods School as well, but since the school is only for kids in the entertainment industry, she and her mother attempt an acting career by auditioning for television commercials.

The four "hockey heads" need some home improvement for their new apartment, despite the objections of Reginald Bitters, the Palm Woods manager. This couldn't possibly come at a worse time, because Arthur Griffin has warned Gustavo that RCM CBT Global-Net Sanyoid, the parent company of Rocque Records, is threatening to dump the entire music division. The proposal to do otherwise hinges on a video designed to make an impression on the company's aging Japanese CEO, starring the boys.

The company that owns Rocque Records insists that one of the members of BTR should take on a faux-bad boy persona. When neither of them are able or willing to be as bad as the company wants them to be, Griffin hires a fifth member named "WayneWayne" to join the band and show them what being bad is all about. Luckily, a casual observation by their teen method actress friend Camille makes them realize that even he's not worth all the hype, but is that enough to keep WayneWayne and his corporate-hired posse from replacing one of the boys?

RCM CBT Global-Net Sanyoid wants Gustavo to write a love song for the boys to perform, but they need inspiration. And that inspiration comes in the form of a new arrival at the Palm Woods Hotel - a pretty young girl named Jo Taylor who's has musical aspirations of her own. For Gustavo, writing the actual song proves to be far more difficult, and his ordeal is further compromised by the presence of Kendall's sister Katie, who has to write an essay for school on an adult she supposedly idolizes.

When Gustavo has to go away on business, he lets the guys house-sit his mansion. While the boys do their best to keep the house in pristine condition, they inevitably destroy everything inside that Gustavo values.

The four boys tell Camille how a publicity photo and competition with another teen heartthrob led to disaster for them all.

Spending all their time together since moving to LA has given the guys cabin fever, so they decide to spend some time apart.

It's been three months since the boys of Big Time Rush moved to Hollywood to record their demos. Now it's up to Griffin to decide the future of the band.

After learning that Gustavo is hosting a party at the studio that the boys are not invited to, the guys decide to host their own party at the Palm Woods.

The boys have to find jobs after they are forced to pay $2000 to the hotel after all the destruction that they cause.

Gustavo thinks it's time to build some hype around Big Time Rush and sets up an important interview with famous blogger Deke. Deke has been known to make or break a career, so the guys must get this right.

Gustavo needs a place to stay while his mansion is flooded. Jennifer invites him to stay at the Crib just as some sort of "Paranormal Activity" starts up at the Palm Woods.

The boys suggest having a dance for their end-of-the-school-year party. They have till the end of the day to pull it off.

Jordin Sparks is staying at the Palm Woods while she records a new song with Gustavo. The guys are told to stay away from her because they are bad luck.

Though the boys promised themselves to remain down-to-earth, Hollywood Fever strikes James, Carlos and Logan.

Rocque Records wants to make a music video for BTR's song "The City is Ours," and despite Gustavo's insistence that they do it his way, Kendall, James, Logan, and Carlos insist on giving parts in the video to all their friends... and more.

On the eve of their first album release, Griffin dashes the boys' music dreams. They return home to Minnesota. Coming to terms with how their world has changed, the guys decide to take control and, with Gustavo, plan their first big concert.

Join Kendall, James, Carlos and Logan of Big Time Rush in their first-ever concert special, recorded live in New York City.
