Before there were Winchesters

[krisomniac]

... There were McAllisters.

I'm rewatching the pilot (and only episode I own) of one of my favorite TV shows in forever: Jack and Bobby.

Seriously, why did they cancel this one? And worse, why did they never release it on DVD?

The framework of a retrospective on McAllister's presidency was a brilliant way to set up the show. The brothers were ... not snarky, exactly, but really brothers. Bobby's annoying in the adorable way that only little brothers can be. Jack does pissy, too-cool athlete / closet AWESOME big brother as well as Dean ever did. Mom is as driven, single, and smart as John Winchester ever was. Plus, she smokes pot.

Jack and Bobby are the cutest (pre-Winchester) boys, even if they've never cleaned a gun or picked a lock in their lives.

Anyone know where I can get more eps to download? (Keeping in mind that I'm a bittorrent!MORON) Love you lots!

i actually liked that show! but i still felt the shame of liking something on the WB network in an unironic way. i think i was sold around the point where bradley cooper was introduced. i did want to punch the mom way more than i want to punch papa dub.

no idea where to get eps except for torrents. but you should totes try it! just go to utorrent.com, download the program, and then download a torrent file from a website and just choose 'open with utorrent'. doooo it!

Hehehee. Because SPN wasn't? (on the wB) ;)

Mom was... more than her fair share of overbearing, but that totally worked.

Okay. I'm trying to torrent it, but the season has been d/ling for like two days now and it's only at 30% O_o. also, I have no idea how to open this huge ass file once I do get it to my computer. Really, for a computer-literate person, I am totally mystified by torrents.

sometimes it is corny and hokey, but that's what i love about it. plus, good lookin' boys. :)

hahahha, maybe no one's seeding it? mine's going really slow right now because my internet connection at school sucks. and it's just a regular folder that gets downloaded to wherever you designated it to save; torrents just send things in pieces, it's not a zip file or anything like that.
