For me,it's Jack without a doubt.I love him.I mean first off he's a hottie..

...but also he's not perfect,but you relate to him.He just wants to be like everyone else,but he is different and he is exceptional.I want my very own Jack

Well, I LOVE the main three characters: Grace, Bobby, Jack. But, like Sarah, my favorite character is Jack. I probably relate to Bobby a bit more, as I am also the younger sibling in my family, and I'm more of an introvert/solitary kind of person. But I love Jack. He is a great person to root for. I love how he helped Marcus and some ways seems more like the "adult" in the family, given Grace's problems, and has to help look after Bobby.

It helps that Matt Long is very charismatic, talented and...well, hot. (Sorry, Subject, I don't think we can avoid calling him that.

.). A poster on the Matt Appreciation thread (was it you, Sarah?) mentioned that Jack was still so likeable even as he tries to balance relationships with two girls.

But it's true. Matt handles comedy and drama very well, especially for someone making his TV debut.

You all could probably guess mine - Jack

I like Jack because he's not afraid of meeting someone new (like Courtney in the Pilot) and he helps his friends out (like he did with Marcus). I love how Matt can not only deliver a line, but also have a nonverbal way about himself.

Sarah - Like your own life-size Matt doll?

Judy - I'm probably more like Bobby, too - I'm very introverted - but I'm trying to change!

Yes! It would be like Life Size Barbie but not as creepy.

I love Grace, Bobby, and Jack equally. In fact, they're the only characters I really like at this point. But if I had to pick one, I'd go with Grace without hesitation, just because I see her as the most complex as well as very well-written and well-acted.

I get it, I get it.. Matt's hott..can we move on?

Jack is my favorite character. The way he stands up for what he believes in. His relationships with his the people around him. Especially with Bobby. I can relate to him more then any other character. Having a younger sibling, having to grow up and act like the parent more then his parent on ocassions. Besides, it doesn't hurt that Matt plays the role with perfection. My second favorite would be Grace.

Someone should warn Matt to look out for all of you.

Especially you Sarah.

Susan - Grace is a very complex character - but I like that. I like that she doesn't have the same views others have - it's nice to see someone off doing their own thing

Michael - Me

If I ever met Matt - I'd be speechless

I like Matt's facial expressions - they're fun to watch

OMG, if I ever met Matt, I'm afraid my mind would go blank and I'd just gaze at him rather adoringly.

I'd probably be "normal" around Logan b/c he is so much younger.

Grace is a fantastic character as well. I agree that you don't necessarily have to share her viewpoints or condone her behavior to like watching her. I admire her passion and conviction about life and learning.

My favorite character is probably Bobby. I think he's an incredibly sweet kid, and I love how he's not afraid to be different.

JamieSullivan · 10-15-2004, 07:59 PM

I'm gonna have to say Jack.

crazyforcmm · 10-16-2004, 12:08 AM

glory fades - Bobby is a very interesting character - both in the future and present

JamieSullivan - Hi! Any reason why you like Jack?

DreamOn777 · 10-16-2004, 12:51 AM

Ah...we have a vote tally now...I highly doubt we'll find many people whose fav isn't one of the McCallisters,but I'd love to see someone prove me wrong

Well, first off, Matt Long is the main reason I started watching J&B. Gorgeous! Plus, I just love how his character stands up to Grace, and helps Bobby stand up to her.
