Television that Home Video Forgot: Jack & Bobby (2004)

There are so many shows that get cancelled even though they are made with great quality and for the most part these shows are able to find their audience and gain cult status.

The problem has to be that there really is no official venue for this series to be viewed and build a cult audience. It’s a show that has truly fallen through the cracks of television history and this should not be. Hopefully, one day there will be a way to watch this series in HD quality because this is definitely a show that should be preserved for audiences to discover and maybe then it will find its proper place among the ranks of great television.
