Synopsis:
Jack & Bobby is a short-lived Golden Globe Award nominated American television series that aired on The WB network. It featured two brothers, one of whom was destined to become President of the United States, serving from 2041 to 2049. The series was created by Greg Berlanti, novelist and comic book writer Brad Meltzer, and Thomas Schlamme, who directed fourteen episodes of The West Wing.

The show followed the lives of teen-aged Jack and Bobby (Robert) McCallister as they went to high school and generally matured. Much conflict was generated between the boys and their mother, Grace, played by Christine Lahti, who was at once both domineering and unreliable.

The main storyline was paralleled by a series of interviews with figures associated with the McCallister presidency, who spoke of events from Robert McCallister's later life. Typically, there was a thematic link between the main plot, set during Bobby's childhood/adolescence, and the reminiscences of his adult life and political career.

On May 17, 2005, The WB announced it would not renew Jack & Bobby for a second season.

The 22 episode series has also aired on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) network, debuting on September 25, 2006.

Plot:

The pilot maintained the mystery about which of the two brothers became President until the end of that episode, when it was revealed that Jack dies young. The circumstances of his death were left unknown until the season one (and series) finale, where it was learned that Jack had served in the War of the Americas, and as a public defender, before running for political office at Bobby's suggestion, only to be killed during a convenience store robbery.

Jack's death inspired Bobby to take his brother's place, eventually leading to his election as President in 2040. President Robert McCallister became known as "The Great Believer", for his determination and faith in the face of many obstacles, from international conflicts, to scandals within his own administration, and attacks upon his reputation. Memories of Jack are kept alive through Bobby; he marries his brother's ex-girlfriend Courtney in 2025, and has one of Jack's best friends as a member of his staff.
