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

Also, voting has started for the Winter 2007 DCF Awards! So go cast your votes.

We have a new layout as well. Comments?

I made a new banner! It is updated with all the disney shows on the air right now. Hope you enjoy it

I may edit it later to make it look Halloween-ish.

I am feeling pretty board. There is a new guide that I want bad. I hope I can get it! I saw PotC2 again today. It was still great!

I also just retired from being editor of Catscratch. I really don't have an interest in the show, so I thought it would be more fair if someone else could get it.

This has been a lame week.

Two websites have come out and copid my website, and I have had to deal with that and it is very annoying. And some one got angry at me on the Brandy & Mr. Whiskers forum. bleh.

I only have about a week left of summer until practice starts. meh i don't feel like playing music in 100 degree weather for like 6 hours.

But I am really excited about the night of premieres this friday on Disney Channel.

There isn't much going on these days. I start Band practice August 2nd, so I really only have a week left of Summer. I am not really prepared for it, I haven't memorized my music yet.

I am also getting nervous about high school. I have been having dreams/nightmares about it every night. haha.

Oh! And there is a new feature on TV.com. It is called Pre-Show Buzz. You can go to an upcoming episode's page and vote on whether or not you will tune in. I think it is cool. So go vote on the new Brandy & Mr. Whiskers episode, Big Girls Don't Body Slam / I Am Rainfo.

Also, my site, www.disneychannelfan.co.nr is hosting a live chat on  Friday at 8:00/7:00C to celebrate the release of Read it and Weep. You can talk about the movie while you are watching it. It will be fun! So stop by if you are interested!

Just wanted you to know I am back. It was a bunch of fun. But I got really burned though.

I still have a bunch of pending submissions. i wish they would be accepted! i have enough to be editor for one show, and possibly another one as well.

I really want to become editor of a really popular show. I want to log on and see like 20 submissions sitting in my Queue. I know it sounds weird but that would be fun and it would feel like I was doing something useful. But oh well, I guess you have to take things things slowly. Well I have been cleaning up the Dave the Barbarian guide. It was a mess. But I think it is acceptable now.

edit: I LOVE the new editor's blog thing. It is so great!

Haha, well it looks like I became editor for Dave the Barbarian. That was a total surprise  because I wasn't even trying to get that guide but I'll take it! haha

Right now I am waiting for Miley Cyrus to come on Regis and Kelley...

I thought being an editor would be time consuming and tough... but it isn't. At least not for Brandy & Mr. Whiskers anyway. No one submits to that guide! I'm serious. I haven't had one submission besides my own. I know, the show isn't the most popular, but there are some fans that hang around the forums that could submit some stuff...

But now I am working on becoming editor for other shows. More popular shows more importantly. I have one that I want really bad and I hope I can get by the end of the week. I also have enough points for another guide to become editor but my submissions have to be moderated first.
