I don't know if Commander in Chief is the same series I am thinking about, though it did get cancelled quite quickly.

It was about the American President as a young child, his older brother, and the relationship among them with their single mother, whom I believe palyed a high school teacher in the story as well (and she also played a premiere part in The West Wing before this show).

Again, I don't watch too much TV at all, but from what I recall, most of the past shows that I thought had promise before being pulled were all on NBC (around the time of Lost): shows such as Surface (might've been ABC) , Journeyman, and most recently, Kings.
