If you have not caught it yet, Jack & Bobby is one of the best new shows of the season.

From master storytellers Greg Berlanti (Everwood, Dawson’s Creek) and Thomas Schlamme (The West Wing, Ally McBeal) comes a powerful and poignant new drama directed by the incomparable David Nutter (Smallville, Without a Trace). If “greatness is thrust upon us,” as Winston Churchill once said, then it’s equally true that those who are destined for greatness are rarely aware of it. Take Jack and Bobby McCallister, for example: two bright young brothers growing up under the watchful eye of their eccentric single mother (Academy Award, Emmy, and Golden Globe winner Christine Lahti). Her personality is a force of nature destined to shape both of these young men’s lives and secure one a place in the history books – as future President of the United States. Set in present day, with flash-forward interviews of future-President McCallister’s White House staffers and first lady, it’s a snapshot of a young man being molded to beat the odds and become the mid-century’s greatest presidential leader.
