Show Summary

Jake Long is one of New York City's average 13-year-old boys, living with his extended Chinese-American family and skateboarding with his friends... until he learns his amazing destiny.

He is a descendant of dragons and, when he transforms into one of these fire-breathing, shape-shifting magical beings, it's his duty to protect the magical creatures secretly living among the masses in New York. Among them are the herd of unicorns in Central Park, the leprechauns on Wall Street, the gargoyle nest atop the Empire State Building, the Triborough Troll Bridge, the mystical city between NOHO and SOHO and the underwater Hudson mermaids.

Greater New York is the American Dragon's territory and if he can make it here, he can make it anywhere. ... Jake's life takes madcap twists and turns as he juggles all the social hurdles of teenage years (including his crush on Rose, the new girl in school) with his secret training to become the American Dragon, a regimen guided by his recently immigrated grandfather Lao Shi, and Grandpa's unique "associate," a gruff 600-year-old magical Shar-Pei named Fu Dog.

American Dragon: Jake Long was created by Jeff Goode, creator of the hit MTV series Undressed. Disney has ordered an initial twenty-four episodes for the first season.

    Seriously, this is a great show. The only reason I don't give it a perfect 10 is because the slang and stuff Trixie and Jake use does sometimes gets on your nerves, but it's an epic show regardless of that. Well worth watching and checking out in my book. The show starts Jake Long, an average kid who just happens to be a dragon! He basically defends the magical creatures of New York City from evil like the "Huntsman" clan. It's actually a pretty great show and funny, too. I feel the ending was pretty solid, too. Could've had more closure, but a nice ending to it as well.moreless

    American Dragon: Jake Long will go down as probably my favorite show on Television. The show came out when I was 13 years old and I was hooked. It even works for older audiences... I am now 19 years old and I still find myself watching episodes on YouTube. If the show was put back on the air I would watch it now. - The storyline is great, despite a few minor flaws. The ideology behind the show is great, a young teenager who lives a secret double life as a fire breathing dragon? C'mon, that's cool!



    Disney made a terrible mistake by cancelling this show. It had a lot of potential and clearly still has a lot of fans. I work with school-aged children and have showed them episodes and they love it. I would not doubt that if Disney renewed this show for a third season it would become a hit.moreless
  • Best Disney show ever

    This was one the best shows that was ever created on Disney channel. I loved Jake and the other characters, and cried on the Homecoming episode. I really miss this show even though i am now 16.

    I wish this show would come back. I feel like a story line like this shouldn't be just trashed away. Come one Disney bring the show back, or at least air it. How am i suppose to watch at 5:00 am in the morning???moreless
  • Best Disney Channel Animated Series Ever

    I love this show. The show premiered when I was 7 years old. Season 1 was so awesome. I love all the characters, the animation, the jokes, and the action scenes. It's probably my favorite season. Season 2 was great, but I didn't like the animation. Overall, it's the best Disney Channel animation that I ever seen. Also it reminds me of Danny Phantom.
