Jack Jack is an energetic young man who is always looking for an adventure. He begins this show as a simple little boy (his best friend is a cow), but by the end of the show he learns a few valuable lessons.
Jack's Mother Raising a son and running a farm all by herself has made Jack's Mother a bit frazzled and most definitely overworked.
