ada the leading man is my tpye

Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

zoolfirdaus it's quite late for me to comment bout this series, i know..but it's very unfortunate for Malaysian viewers for we have to watch great series such J&B years after others from US,UK etc already watched it far earlier than us..anyhow, i really wanna have a say on this one..i read all the comments those people wrote about this series..and most of them are clearly not very clear who's gonna be the president..JACK or BOBBY?..and so do i..but i remember there's an episode (second episode if I'm not mistaken) where they interviewed COURTNEY in the year 2048 and the name written at the bottom left of the screen was "COURTNEY, The First Lady"..and it made me very confident telling my friends (who already started to love the series) that the president will be JACK..but i do agree sometimes it sounds more like BOBBY is the one..now I'm confused..anyway, if Courtney is the First Lady, then the President unsurprisingly must be JACK, unless at the end BOBBY had a crush on Courtney or BOBBY turned to be much more richer than JACK!..so,JACK or BOBBY?..it remains unsolved..but above all, i would say that i love this series very much..it's an intelligent and a smart and a lovely story of the two brothers..there are too many moral values that we can learn from it..finally,whoever the president might be, be it JACK or BOBBY, hopefully he's not the one like BUSH! :) peace from Malaysia.

Travis_Bickle01 Jack & Bobby tells the story of 2 boys, raised by a single mother. It's a story of growing up, trying to find your way, searching for your identity,... It's hard to describe what this TV-series is about because there's so much in it. It's not a classical TV-series about the typical American family. It's a clever masterpiece which deals with serious life issues of teenage boys who are trying to find their way in this life, who are trying to find out who they want to be and what they want to stand for.I have seen many series and movies about people, trying to find their way in life, about people who haven't figured it out yet...but this is the first series who succeed in capturing it all in such a unique, intelligent and sensitive way without getting melodramatic. An episode lasts about 40 minutes but I have the impression it lasts less and every time the episode has finished, i can't wait to see the next! I'm afraid I'm getting addicted to it. No seriously, this is just outstanding, wonderful, brilliant,... Just see it!There is also some great acting in this. Christine Lahti (who plays Grace, the mother) is brilliant. I think she should have won the Golden Globe. The rest of the cast is also without any exception terrific.Here I will tell something more about the different characters. Jack & Bobby is the story of two brothers and their mother Grace. Jack is the oldest of the brothers. He is 16 (but looks and is in real life much older) and he is a nice, good looking and popular young guy. Although he is only 16, he is very responsible and grown-up. For him, it's very important to be accepted and to fit in. His girlfriend Missy is a blond, rather shallow young girl who cares a lot about her looks but doesn't seem to have much inside her head.Besides his relationship with Missy, Jack also has a beautiful friendship with Courtney. Courtney not only lives in his neighbourhood but she's also the deans daughter. She's a fragile young girl who has been through a lot. For her, Jack is more than just a friend, he is her best friend.Then there is Bobby, the youngest brother. He is 13 and he differs a lot from his brother Jack. He doesn't care much about fitting in. For him, growing up isn't as easy as it is to Jack. But there is a good understanding between the two brothers. Like his brother, Bobby also has a good relationship with Courtney. They understand each other very good and they are both good listeners.Last but not least there is Grace. She is about 40 and she is the mother of both boys. She's a single mother but she's very self-confident and intelligent. Raising her two boys on her own isn't always easy and she does make mistakes, but she is a good person.It's only just the start of this TV-series. I've seen 8 episodes and I can't wait to see the rest! I'll give it ***** out of *****

SpeedRacer19 When I first saw the previews for Jack & Bobby, I did not think the show would be very good. Apparently, I was wrong. When I saw an episode an October, I was impressed by the decent acting and solid plot. Grace McCallister's character is a hard-working mother who is usually principled. Grace's values are questionable when she dates the much younger Tom Wexler. She spends less time with Bobby while she is dating Wexler, so Bobby becomes more and more distant. He begins following Jack's footsteps by limiting dialog with his mother. Bobby, still has a better connection than Jack to his mother because he is empathetic. He is slowly breaking away, but clearly he respects his mother and loves her. Jack is a quiet, semi-dark character, but he is not a bad character. Jack and Bobby are polar opposites meaning their characteristics oppose each other. Bobby is intellectual while Jack has speed and explosiveness which help while he is on the track team. It was unfortunate that Melissa (Missy) Belknap terminated her relationship with Jack. While Jack is injured he seems to be going in a downward spiral. He feels useless since he is is now injured and can no longer run. Although he meets Katie, his relationship with her turns disastrous when she discovers he cheated on her. Even worse for Jack, he loses his friend Missy in a car accident. In a way, Missy already died symbolically before her physical death. She wanted to forget about the past and her worries so she began drinking. Her former attitude which was more confident and carefree is gone. She becomes unhappy and I saw a sense of desperation in her while she told Jack she loved him at the prom. Meanwhile too many bad things have happened to Jack. Hopefully, his character rebounds and recovers. I thought it was interesting when Jack told Missy that she was trying to forget everything that happened. At least, Jack values reality. He is right when he states that things change and things aren't supposed to go back to the way they were after change. Jack is referring to how Missy's life has changed after her abortion. Fortunately, Jack still has two good friends in Marcus and Courtney. I'm glad that this show is being aired because it is one of the most interesting programs I have seen in a while.

TheRealmPlayer Of all places to discover a dramatic gem, the WB! The show started out strong, with good casting and writing, a promising premise, and a few surprises. After just 11 episodes, (the balance of them to begin Jan. 26,2005), the show has developed an extremely loyal fan base, and even garnered a Golden Globe Nom., for Christine Lahti. TV Tome has placed it in their best new shows category. And reviews from Entertainment Weekly, to local newspapers have spread the joy, that this is a show not to miss.My own experience agrees with the critics and fans. I have laughed, shed tears, and had my mouth open catching flys. To think that the suits at the WB had enough sense to make this series, almost makes me think they have enough sense to renew it for another season. If you want quality television, you need look no further than this fine new series!
