Jackie Chan Adventures


There are so many disney shows that are never shown on disney channel or disney XD - the one being telecast in India.
Now, I being a regular viewer of several animated series was under the impression that I have seen them all, atleast the good ones. But, until now (year 2011), I was not even aware that there is a show inpired by 'Jackie Chan'(JC) that was first made and telecast on the american disney channel in 2000 itself and continued till 2005. I came across the name first time while visiting JC's website. In this series, Jackie is shown as an archeologist who gets involved in fighting criminals and magical ancient evil forces. The fighting moves and humor is inspired by Jackie's real life story and reel life stunts.
I am quite sure that uptill now also, the show is not been telecast in India. I feel it is unfair with the Indian audiances. Although, there is one fact about the show that might upset the audiances here, that in some of its episodes when jackie and gang visit India, they have still shown our country as land of snake charmers and poor people. But, I hope the image of India might have changed in last 5-7 years in eyes of American writers.
Anyways, for those who have not yet seen the show, its episodes are available on you tube, uploaded by several fans of JC. Also, you may get the details about its episodes in Wikipedia. At the end of every episode, you will get to listen to the man (Jackie) himself answering questions from his younger fans, telling about his life, likes and dislikes, his hobbies etc. Most of them are good advices that all should follow.
