Thanks again Dennis! I believe that only random subscribers were sent the DVD in their magazine- you can't purchase it at newsstands.

Thanks for posting that,Subject. I didn't even realize they'd be on at the same time. Of course, J&B will be my priority. I think they wrote that J&B paragraph very well. It is incredibly ambitious of the WB and I'm very proud I hope they get a large, broad audience.

From ew.com:
Jack & Bobby WB Sundays, 9 p.m. Premieres Sept. 12 THE DEAL Brothers Jack (Matt Long, right) and Bobby (Logan Lerman, left) are two present-day teenagers destined for a great future in politics -- one of them will become President. But for now, they're just trying to survive high school and their demanding professor mom (''Chicago Hope'' star Christine Lahti). WHAT IT'S LIKE ''Smallville'' with a futuristic political edge FUN FACT In real life, Matt Long is perfect presidential material -- the newbie actor was a dedicated Boy Scout. Really. WHY YOU NEED TO KNOW IT Following in the footsteps of other smart, original WB shows like ''Buffy'' and ''Everwood,'' ''Jack & Bobby'' could be a favorite with both teens and grown-ups. WILL WE WATCH? The real-life election is months away, but this fresh-sounding drama already seems worthy of our vote. |

I was listening to my fav radio show this morning on my way to work and the author {Brad Meltzer) of a book called One Zero...or something like that...was on. I didn't know that he and a friend were the ones that pitched the story to the WB. He talked about their experience and the thought process behind the show. I'll look for a recap of it.
I thought I'd post tt here if anyone was interested. |

I found this at ET.com
"Jack & Bobby" tells the story of the McCallister brothers, one of whom becomes the president of the United States in the year 2040. The series follows their challenging childhoods, beginning with their eccentric and neurotic mother (Lahti), who wants the best for her boys, which is why she named them after the Kennedys. "Grace, my character, was definitely looking to link her sons to those great men when she named them Jack and Bobby," Christine tells ET. "She has high hopes for them. She wants people to think of those great men when they think of her sons, and she wants her boys to aspire to greatness." The end result of having an overprotective mother is that Bobby (Lerman) winds up an asthmatic child with very few friends, whose intellectual interests make him a social misfit. Jack, on the other hand, is the big brother everyone wishes they had. He is charming, bright and athletic, and at odds with his eccentric mother. "Jack is the kid that everybody wants to be in high school, and I was not that kid," Matt tells ET. "I wasn't nearly as athletic as Jack was. People knew who I was because I did a lot of theater and they knew my face. As far as how I relate to Jack, I remember what it is like to be in high school. It wasn't that far off for me. I remember the anger I had toward my parents when they would put limitations on me. When you are a kid you get really upset, but Jack's anger is more elevated than that of regular kids." For his part, Logan says, "Bobby is more interested in educational stuff than into fun sports stuff. He is more intelligent and naive than most people my age. [But as the series begins], he is starting high school and needs to figure out the reality. Thank God, I am not like Bobby. Hopefully, I am as intelligent as him, and very wiling to do stuff if I think it is right. I have a lot of courage. I think that is our only similarity." __________________

I found the ratings information for the pilot on the WB.com and thought I would post it.
JACK & BOBBY scored a Presidential-sized victory among young women in its premiere. The critically acclaimed drama achieved a NEW ALL-TIME RECORD for a fall premiere on The WB in its time period (Sunday 9:00 pm) among women 12-34 (3.3/9) and women 18-34 (2.6/7). Additionally, JACK & BOBBY achieved The WB's BEST RATINGS EVER for a Sunday fall series debut in any time period among women 12-34 (3.3/9), women 18-34 (2.6/7) and women 18-49 (2.6/6) and the second highest ever in female teens (5.2/17).[/B] I'm so glad the show did really well. __________________

wow. how awesome. thank you for posting that I'm so happy for them! I hope the cast went out to celebrate, because I know there must be a lot of pressure on them for the show to succeed (since it would be their job for the coming years). And it set a record...that's fantastic! I'm glad that if the WB had any doubts, they can now be put to rest __________________
