Jack & Bobby - a MUST see this fall!!! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

gOoSe · 08-29-2004, 03:32 PM

This week I recieved the pilot through our Entertainment Weekly subscription of the WB's "Jack & Bobby"

Smart Move WB! Seriously!

This show is really good..It's gotta be one of the best coming out this new fall season.

One thing that makes this great is it has your teen side of it and your adult/political, but in a GOOD way. It doesnt come off like "The OC" does, It's a series that both Teens & Adults, can watch together. Possible families too depending on your household and what you watch together.

You know how "Wonder Years" was one that appealed to teens AND adults? that's what i mean.

it's really one to watch and tell your friends!!

So will I, I like dramas.

Itry to check out all the new shows I can and then I make a discision on which ones I watch. Since nothing else is premiering opposite it, I'll take a look at it.

I like to give new shows a chance, too, so I'll be checking this one out. Thanks for the heads up.

I liked the first ep, I'll probably keep watching. Gets me excited for the other new wb show, the mountain, too. That one looks pretty cool.

Mr. Television · 09-15-2004, 07:05 PM

I watched the first show and I liked what I saw.

vashti1999 · 09-20-2004, 04:05 PM

I just watched the first episode. I'll have to watch it again just cause I was confused trying to match the older and younger characters. And the part where they said McAlister's lie about the father wasn't his lie. Was their father a Mexican busboy or not?

Maybe I just wasn't paying as close attention to it as I should, but I liked it.

He was a Mexican busboy. The lie had something to do with him being executed for his beliefs in Argentina or somewhere down there.

From what I saw.... I liked it.
Better than the WB's other dramas for sure.

barwars · 09-30-2004, 04:41 PM

WB makes me sick.

Picking this up for a full season is nice and fun.... but now that I know income is included in demographics is digusting.

I really like Jack & Bobby. Tonight's religion episode is my favorite so far. Not a lot of current shows keep you thinking after you turn off the TV.

I like it too.
Lots of good new dramas this year. (none of which I was expecting to like)

Chambers · 10-10-2004, 11:03 PM

I kind of missed most of the episode tonight - didn't spark my interest, so I actually chose homework over TV...dear god. It's getting a bit too cliche-y, though. Anybody agree?

Wow. I was hoping somebody else noticed that.
Way too "One Tree Hill wannabe" this week.

But it works.... I enjoy Desperate Housewives MUCH more.

I watched a few minutes of an episode on last night (10/24) during commercials. I was horribly confused until I realized that we were seeing some guy from 2040 or whatever talking about whatever and then the present Jack/Bobby/Mom storyline.

What little I saw actually looked interesting but not interesting enough to make me a viewer.
