'Jack & Bobby' Reunion on 'Mad Men'

As the saying goes, be careful what you wish for...for it may just happen. On Sunday night's episode of 'Mad Men' there was a reunion of sorts as some of the cast of 'Jack & Bobby' appeared on the episode entitled 'The Rejected'. From previous posts, you know that I'm a huge fan of both these shows. Unfortunately, 'Jack & Bobby' was cancelled after just one season, much to my dismay. So it was a pleasant suprise to see Matt Long join the supporting cast of 'Mad Men' for season 4 as Joey Baird who had a memorable introduction into the show as he and Peggy bantered back & forth calling each other John and Marsha, an homage to the comedy of Stan Freberg.

Another alumni of 'Jack & Bobby', Jessica Pare is now appearing as 'Megan' one of the secretaries. Sunday night's episode 'The Rejected' was special as it was directed by John Slattery, who plays Roger Sterling and who also appeared in 'Jack & Bobby' with Matt and Jessica. He played Jessica's dad in 'Jack & Bobby'.

Now I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Christine Lahti will appear on 'Mad Men', she played Grace McCallister on 'Jack & Bobby'.

Logan Lerman who played Bobby, is more than welcome to join in the fun as well although he may just be a little busy with his burgeoning movie career. Last fall he appeared in 'Percy Jackson & the Olympians' and has been tapped to star as D'Artagnan in the remake of 'The Three Musketeers'.

It has been five years since 'Jack & Bobby' went off the air, time to see it again.
