Surviving Jack Season 1 Episodes

7 Episodes 2014 - 2014

This sitcom set in the 1990s follows Jack Dunlevy (Christopher Meloni), an ex-military man and no-nonsense doctor, who takes charge of running the household while his wife, Joanne (Rachael Harris), pursues her law degree. Jack takes a strict approach to parenting that doesn't always go over well with his two teenage kids—Frankie (Connor Buckley), an unsure of himself high-school freshman, and Rachel (Claudia Lee), a smart, independent and beautiful 17-year-old junior. But Jack's bark proves far worse than his bite, and while he might sound harsh he only wants what's best for his children as he helps them navigate their way through situations that include Frankie asking his crush to the homecoming dance and getting his first taste of alcohol, and Rachel joining the wrestling team and wanting to go on birth control.
