I watched the premiere of “Jack & Bobby” last night, a new show about a boy who grows up to be president, and I liked it. I’m going to add it to my list of shows to watch this season.

Like “Smallville,” it’s on the WB, and it would be great if they could do a crossover. Both shows use the same conceit — each portrays the formative years of someone who will grow up to be an American hero — but what makes the possibilities intriguing is that on “Smallville,” we know that Lex Luthor eventually becomes president. So it’s conceivable that Bobby McCallister could run against the incumbent President Luthor and defeat him. There’d be an age gap — Bobby is currently 12 or 13, and Lex is probably around 30 — so it could be a generational passing of the torch. And the “passing of the torch” theme is so Kennedyesque, which is what the title “Jack & Bobby” seems to be going for.

“Smallville” takes place in Kansas and “Jack & Bobby” takes place next door in Missouri, so it’s conceivable, right?
