I just watched the last episode of this great show and I just needed to know something. Am I the only person who liked it? Luckily... It would seem that I'm not.Jack and Bobby... The story of two brothers... One who becomes President of the United States of America... And one who should have.Now, it's great to see that there are those out there who dislike it, debate is always good, but I am so glad it wasn't just me that truly believes this show to be a classic.Jack and Bobby struck me as though it was going to try to be allegorical to the Kennedey's, hell, they're in the titles, but it simply used that one feature to help viewers connect, and then we were treated to a show that truly lets you know that American TV isn't as dead as Big Brother and Idol would make you think.Two seasons passed by in the time it would take a normal show to have one, and this is great. Long have I decried the 24-26 episode length seasons that the US seems to prefer. Most shows end up with 10 good episodes and 15 or so of just filler. But Jack and Bobby only had a few portions where it felt as though it was just tacked in. And when they passed you were back to great acting, great surprise actors including J.K. Simmons (Spider-Man, Oz and now Jack and Bobby... Is this man perfect or what?) and many more familiar faces.This should be required viewing for everyone. Americans, Australians, French people and Chinese folk as well. Truly original stuff is hard to come by these days, but Jack and Bobby is the closest thing to it I've seen in many a year.I can't give halves on the "vote" but if I could, it would get 9.5 out of 10. Seriously. Don't pass up the chance if you get it. You won't be disappointed.

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.

Jack and Bobby is by the far the best new show of the year,and one of the best shows on television.It is an intelligent and enjoyable drama with great actors.What more do you want?Oh wait,from what I've been reading from some people here is that it is boring and predictable.You know what I see?I see an intelligent drama that is just too intelligent for the vast majority of people.They would rather watch the crap that is reality television or gritty crime shows such as CSI which is the most predictable show on television.I'm not saying CSI is bad,I watch it and its okay,but it is just a crime/forensic drama that doesn't involve much thinking at all,I have always guessed the killers right off,and have always been right.As for reality TV,it is ruining great dramas such as Jack and Bobby,Angel 3rd Watch which is better than ER but doesn't get near as many viewers.Jack and Bobby is beyond reality TV,it involves people to think and to get sucked in,reality TV is for the people who find it hard to think.Great acting from all the cast,most notably Christine Lahti and the young Logan Lerman and great writing from Greg Berlanti(Everwood),Thomas Schlamme(The West Wing),Vanessa Taylor(Everwood and Alias) and directors such as David Nutter (Without a Trace,Roswell,The X-Files), provide a top quality show that is just too intelligent for many people.

There's nothing refreshing or new about Jack & Bobby. Despite all the hype about the allusions to another Jack & Bobby, it turns out that this is just another excuse for the WB network to put on a "drama" with fresh-faced suburban white kids who seem to be only preoccupied with sex and appearing cool. As for the threadbare cliché of the American presidency as the hallmark of greatness, well, we only have to look to recent history to see that such a claim is laughable. It's high time for middle-class America to take a long, hard look at itself to see that it doesn't even come close to being the breeding ground for greatness that it imagines itself to be. Rather, it perpetuates mediocrity and conformity at every turn. I'm only sorry to see the always-wonderful Christine Lahti being wasted in such tripe. Jack & Bobby -- give me a break!
