  American Dragon Cancelled

  I'm extremely sorry to announce that American Dragon: Jake Long has been cancelled. It will end after season 2, which still has 15 episodes left to air. Here is a blog entry about the matter:

  A few weeks after we started our blog, we stumbled upon a nifty little feature on this webpage called the Site Meter. It told us how many of you were visiting the site, how long you visited, and it even showed us your hometowns. The stats it showed us blew us away. Not only were people were reading our posts – they were reading them from all over the world! As we write this, our tiny little blog has logged over 14,000 hits from places as far away as Rome, Vietnam, and Dubai (Michael Jackson, perhaps?). Let us take this moment to thank you for watching our show, blogging about it, and – in general – being great fans.
  
  That said, the time as come for us to bring all of you some pretty sad news. After careful consideration, the Disney Channel has decided to end production on “American Dragon: Jake Long” after 52 episodes. As Jake would say, “Awww man!”
  
  Yup, Episode 52 -- “Hong Kong Longs” -- will be the last episode of the series. We found out just before the holidays. We wanted to publicly break the news sooner, but we thought it’d be best to wait until our entire cast and crew had been informed first.
  
  (Quick sidebar: Matt regrets his misleadingly optimistic tone about the “important news” in his last post. He was trying hard not to sound downbeat about it, and perhaps he overcompensated. Or maybe he was still excited about his Nordic cheese slicer. Either way, his sincerest apologies if you feel mislead. Okay, back to the topic at hand…)
  
  We’re not certain we understand the Channel’s reasons behind the cancellation, but we certainly respect their decision. These last four years have been a great learning experience (see previous posts) and we wouldn’t take them back for anything. 52 episodes of any show is a great run. It’s impossible to be angry considering all we’ve accomplished. We are, however, pretty disappointed. We would’ve loved to have done more episodes. We certainly had more stories to tell, but alas -- 52 is where it will end.
  
  Thankfully, the last few episodes of the second season wrap up the show in a nice little bow. Not to give anything away, but secrets will be revealed, surprising relationships will kindle, and former enemies will find common ground. Any loose ends (and yes, there will be a few) will surely be wrapped up nicely in someone’s fan fiction.
  
  Since we’ve already thanked you, the loyal fans, let us also thank our tremendously talented cast and crew for all their hard work. Our 2nd season wouldn’t have been possible without our hilarious and hardworking writing staff, and our crack production team headed by the trifecta of talent that is Steve, Nick, and Wade. We hope to work with all of them again soon. Our thanks also to Chris Roman and Jeff Goode, without whom there wouldn’t be an American Dragon.
  
  Next Friday will mark our last day of production, but the good news is that fifteen episodes of AmDrag have yet to air (nearly half of the entire second season!). It wouldn’t surprise us if the new episodes stretched into 2008. In the meantime, we’ll continue to update the blog when we can. We've both got some exciting new projects on the horizon (both animated and live action), which we hope to tell you about soon.
  
  Until then, the adventure continues.
  
  Matt & Eddie
