Trivia

Rock band Wheatus recorded a theme song called "Jackie Chan's the Man" which would play during the end credits. However, during credit titles is when KidsWB airs promotions for their other shows, and thus the song has yet to air DURING the credits (even though Wheatus is credited). KidsWB began airing the song over some montage shots between episodes. In USA, the only way to hear the song DURING the closing credits is to view the Spanish Language version that currently airs on Telemundo Saturday mornings! (The song is still in English)

User Reviews

This show ROCKS!

The writers/producers of this series deserve a lot of credit. Somehow they've created an edgy, often wickedly funny animated series that conveys a healthy family in which everyone has importance; old people are still valued (Uncle rules!), girls are smart, cute, and kick butt (Jade IS all that), and the family can include close friends (Toru and his mom). The story lines are interesting and unusual. My kids love it and so do I. Yes, not like, love. If only most prime time shows were this well crafted. The problem for us is - UPN and Fox canceled this gem in favor of some unwatchable crapola!!! AIIYAAA!! How do we bring it back? Anyone know?

If DVD's were available, that would be cool too.
