Big Time Rush (abbreviated and commonly called and well-known as BTR for short) is a television comedy music-themed American teen sitcom that is airing on Nickelodeon. The show centers around the to-be-simple lives of four hockey-playing teenage boys from Minnesota, "Kendall Knight" (Kendall Schmidt), "James Diamond" (James Maslow), "Carlos Garcia" (Carlos Pena, Jr.) and "Logan Mitchell" (Logan Henderson), but soon, thier lives are changed, as they get the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become famous, & move to L.A. to become the next hit-making boy band, after they got a deal with record producer "Gustavo Rocque" (Stephen Kramer Glickman), along with his personal assistant, "Kelly Wainright" (Tanya Chisholm). The series was conceived and created by series showrunner and executive producer Scott Fellows, who previously created the now-defunct Nickelodeon sitcom Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide, but still airs on TeenNick.
