WB Votes for Full Season of 'Jack & Bobby'

Still haven't seen the latest episode, so I couldn't post it in that thread!

(Wednesday, September 29 01:42 PM)
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) The WB became the first network to pick up one of its fall shows Wednesday, committing to a full season of the drama "Jack & Bobby."

"Great television doesn't come along every day, and that's why we're picking up 'Jack and Bobby,'" says WB Entertainment President David Janollari. "It's a beautifully written, sophisticated show with superb performances by an elegant cast. We are so proud to give the entire cast and crew a full-season pickup."

The pickup comes despite the fact that the series has drawn fairly lackluster overall ratings thus far. Through three episodes, the show is drawing only about 3.7 million viewers per week, losing 1.5 million people from its lead-in, "Charmed."

Those who are watching "Jack & Bobby," however, tend to be affluent, and if advertisers like anything more than young viewers, it's wealthy viewers. The network says the show attracts an "overwhelming concentration" of viewers with household incomes of $100,000 or more.

"Jack & Bobby" follows the present-day lives of two brothers (Matt Long and Logan Lerman), one of whom will be elected president in 2040, and their strong-willed mother (Christine Lahti). "Everwood" creator Greg Berlanti and former "West Wing" director-exec producer Thomas Schlamme (Lahti's husband) are executive producers.

And in other "Jack & Bobby" news, I just read on the E! ticker that Bradley Cooper (Will on "Alias") is joining the cast. I like him so I thought that was cool news. I wonder what kind of character he'll play?

Interesting. Not a big fan of his, though I love Alias.

Very cool, especially since they've filmed a large chunk of the first season here in my town. Hope they come back for the next round!

I didn't like Bradley Cooper when I first saw Alias, but as I re-watched the seasons on DVD I learned to appreciate the character more.

to the WB for making a full year's commitment.
