Thanks so much for watching! Were you more of a fan of The Life and Times of Juniper Lee or American Dragon Jake Long?
Juniper fan all the way
Hmm...
I'll say American Dragon. But I did enjoy Juniper.
Watched and enjoyed both, but more of a juniper bro at the end of the day
I remember that show American dragon on Disney XD when I was a little kid
American Dragon: Jake Long
I remember reading somewhere that there was actually someone who went and interviewed the team that worked on both this show at CartoonNetwork and the team that made American Dragon Jake Long at Disney, and members of both teams said they had no idea of the existence of the other show when they were making their respective shows.
So the idea of a show about a young Asian teenager in a major US city, who has mystical "chosen one" powers, who keeps the balance between the magical world and the real world, has an old talking dog advisor, and is taught by their grandparent who was the prior keeper of balance, somehow happened at both studios separately but around the same time.
Happens surprisingly often. Makes me wonder if studios look for or hire people to do gather data on stuff that's cool right now and then green light shows/movies that hit enough targets, then just rely on common tropes to help fill the show out.
I am working on writing a story and I always yell swears at the tv when I’m watching a new show and they show some concept I already had written down for sometimes months ago. Sometimes artists are also pulling from same subject matter hence similar conclusions (See Osmosis Jones and Cells at Work)
As an professor of mine said “No idea is truly original. If you have an idea, someone else has come up with it too. You need to put work into it to make it your own.”
Coincidences like fhis arent that uncommon even, usually is a mix of using the same inspiration with taking more extra ideas.
I guess you could say, great minds think alike?
Weirder stuff has happened.
Honestly American Dragon and Juniper Lee are similar, but they aired way too closely to each other to say Juniper is a ripoff. I think it was just a huge coincidence that they had similar premises. I wish juniper had a reboot, it was one of my favorite shows and we need more smack talking fun female protagonists.
Yeah, plus the whole "Asian inspired fighting show" is kind of a common cartoon concept
I absolutely agree! And to the comment above mine, unfortunately that's true lol
Something I'd really like is if they both came back on a crossover but that's probably never happening
@@albaneedge I wish both shows had a second chance. Juniper was cancelled right as the show started focusing on its plot and american dragon was rushed to its finale way too fast. plus it would give juniper lee the chance to differentiate itself a bit more.
@@tidepodpadthai2633 during the early 2000s that is. Today, not anymore. People watch The Owl House, which leaned more into voodoo and Medieval magic.
The episode where Juniper learns that she can't leave the city is extremely well done. You see her excitement throughout the entire episode about a school trip and there's just one monster in her way who's she's searching throw the whole city until she's close to get him by the city's limits. Her heartbreak and how she reacts to it was incredibly real.
The ending, her disappointment, was hard to watch. She handled it well though.
@@BenDaresAll It was the best episode. Totally gets you off-guard because it just seems so normal. Her grandmother explaining that's why she travels so much is really touching too. You can really feel the sadness and frustration she had.
Yoo I was thinking about that episode years later cause of it had so much weight
The desperation of her running to the edge of the city and slamming the barrier was sad as hell
Far as young chosen ones go, Juniper got screwed. She never asked for this, but still tried to uphold the duty best she could. And her reward for her self sacrifice and saving the city time and again is to be trapped within a wall till she grows old enough to doom one of her children to the same fate. If she even gets that "lucky."
@@denniswilliams6519 and the thing with her is that she was never mad that she had to be the chosen one. She just didn't want to hide from her friends.
The 2000s always felt like the Age of Asian-American Cartoons.
Three Delivery aired in 2008, I think the W.I.T.C.H cartoon aired around then too, and while only one of the main characters had some Asian ancestry/aesthetics, it was her grandmother who basically guided the team.
For as weird as it is to say, I've always thought that Juniper Lee and American Dragon we're both complete coincidences despite how hard that would be to be believed.
A hidden magical world where myths and fairytales have lived alongside the human world isn't exactly an original premise but it is an interesting one with different ways to be explored. A large city is the easiest way to have the most possible diversity.
A main character with an Asian background allows for an easier way to have an excuse for martial arts training and a mystical connection spiritually in some way. Making them half American helps connect them more to the American audience watching.
A wise grand parent that was in their grand child's shoes and now acts as a mentor is common. Plus everyone loves a cool grandparent. (Also an annoying younger sibling is relatable too.)
The outlier to me is the talking dog, honestly. I think when you picture what a pug would sound like, New Yorker comes to mind (I think Men in Black helped cement that, if J was Asian it'd be pretty close to this premise too.). But kids love dogs and a dog with a funny accent is just icing on the cake.
Sometimes these things just happen, maybe something slipped between the companies with how close they were in development. But like I said, to me this was 100% a coincidence.
Or the fact that respective creators of Jake Long & Juniper Lee, Jeff Goode and Judd Winick, worked for MTV around the same time, so it can't be a coincidence, right?
@@Germania9 Most I can find on Jeff Goode's time at MTV was as a writer for Undressed in 1999 while Judd was in The Real World in 1994. It's not out of the realm of possibility that they've seen each other or spoke with co-workers and it spread, but a five year gap makes it less likely they spoke I think. Unless Jeff worked earlier in MTV being uncredited or working lesser jobs like getting coffee or something.
Yeah, this coincidence is almost as wild as US Dennis the Menace vs UK Dennis the Menace!
@@sunspotmill1291 Exactly! Perfect example!
I feel like CN wanted to compete for viewership so they created a show with a similar premise, but like you said they aired too close from each other for it to be a direct copy
I don’t understand why people dislike this show! Personally I think it’s one of Cartoon Network’s best creative shows! 💙💚💙
Its good but its feels like its was dragon jake rip off
@@ashskullz i never had a problem with that.
@@ashskullz but the catch is that Juniper is more of a magical mystic than a shapeshifting creature. I dont remember the time she transformed into an animal, at least not for a long time.
@@ashskullz Yeah, you really can't deny that it felt like a gender bent version of American dragon. It was still enjoyable though. I think the only real difference was that Juniper didn't have a love interest and the mom had no idea of Juniper's double life.
@@sissysovereign1294 It's really funny how they only debuted months a part from each other. Shows how similar people think sometimes.
Honestly even if Jake and Juniper are kinda similar they were both amazing shows imo
Also why did my brain erase that this was a cartoon network show?
I thought it was like on discovery kids with cyberchase
It did look like a Disney Show. And I thought it was for a while when I first saw a promo.
because it's not talked about anymore, man. cartoon, currently, only thinks about money and increasingly childish jokes, with its expensive and more monopriced and lazy programs. honestly... if they decided to go back to the time of light they wouldn't need to CREATE new designs. MANY OF THE OLD ONES WOULD BE VERY WELL ACCEPTED BY THE CURRENT GENERATION.
did you hear that, #cartoon
#network #cn ?
I wouldn't mind seeing Juniper Lee coming back, but all I can see is something like Netflix doing it. Cartoon Network hates anything with too much action or might attention take away from Teen Titans Go.
They really are going all in on TTG arent they
I truly miss the days when cartoon network had a wide selection of shows to watch, from action to comedy and everything in between.
But now all their new/current shows are just comedy focused, there's no Samurai Jack, no Radakai, no Young Justice or anything action related since MaoMao. Its sad honestly, my lil sister will never know how goated cartoon network used to be and now she stuck watching Teen Titans Go! until the sun explodes.
@@shirouamakusa5935 I wouldn’t mind the focus on comedy so much if they expanded beyond one show
@@shirouamakusa5935 yeah remember teen titans samurai jack and the 3 good ben 10's
DAMN CARTOON NETWORK WAS GOOD these ate just the first ones that popped in my head
I remember Juniper Lee! I always wanted her bracelet thing and to fight monsters and stuff. Also, ironically, I watched this more than American Dragon because I found Jake way more aggravating to listen to.
Yet sad thing is, he’s voiced by prince zuko of all things. Disney was really trying way too hard on the whole hip hop rap bs that even Huey and Riley freeman from the boondocks would tell him to shut up and quit acting like he’s a ghetto freak of nature before they come over there to dopeslap his dumbassed shit for brains dragon head of his.
Arthur and Hey Arnold both premiered on the same day in 1996 and despite having similar characters and being more slice of lifey, they both stood on their own, the same could be said about Juniper and Jake, it doesn't matter how similar 2 shows sound they can always go their own way.
Dammm 👀🤦🏾♂️😂 crazy asf I never notice how similar Hey Arnold and Arthur was! Even down to the some colors
I remember back in the day that I really, REALLY wanted to watch a cross-over between Jake Long and Juniper Lee. If not for the rivalry of the studios and the clear difference in art style, I could totally see most of the concepts of Jake Long and Juniper Lee existing in the same universe. With Dragons as representatives of the magical beings and the Te Xuan Ze as the representative of humans, both working on their own to protect both the human and magical world.
Believe me, If I had been into fanfic back then, this would have been my first one!
I do miss this show and I do recall the abrupt, cliffhanger ending. Considering the era Cartoon Network was going into, one wonders if they regret ending Juniper Lee so soon, given how their ship was just about scuppered by live action...
I actually used to think that the world of American Dragon Jake Long and The Life And Times Of Juniper Lee were in the same universe when I was a kid - love cartoons
I really like this show, It was interesting and there were many things that I wished could have been explored more or questions that were answered. Like the origins of the powers like who has the first Lee to gain this power and became the first Te Xuan Ze and why? Would Juniper's parents eventually found out about what she's been doing especially her dad since it skip his generation and the fact his mom been lying to him for years about she's been doing? Jody did saw June jumping around in the last episode what was going to happened with that information? So many questions left unanswered unfortunately.
true, at least we got to see how the first avatar in legend of korra came to be
Also, Lara Jill Miller voiced June. Lara, to me...is a LEGEND.
She also voiced Kari from Digimon and some others along the way before her time as juniper lee and so on; and now she’s the voice of Libby from ghost and Molly McGee on Disney and Haru the bunny from Beastars on Netflix.
I named my daughter after her because she's so badass and imaginative (just like the show itself). 🧚🏼♂️ Also just such a cutie pie name. Love it. 🥰
Juniper Lee was one of CN's most underrated shows. I legit had no clue Stewart Copeland worked on the show until you pointed it out. xD
I hope Juniper Lee goes on HBO Max someday.
Not just a Police-man, you even have Judd Winick, known for his work with Green Arrow and X-Men
A show I remember watching A LOT of as a kid before school was Hero 108 on Cartoon Network. I feel like a lot of people don't know about it, because it was like a 5am or 6am block. As a kid I loved the art style and some of the creative stuff they did, at least to young me.
I remember. I saw it cause I stayed up late alot and it cameos in "the shed"
Fun Fact: Both shows aired the same year (2005) and ended the same year (2007).
Yes I covered that in the video
I know. Lol.
Honestly, considering the premise and release timing, it feels like a producer challenged two different studios to create the best cartoon based on this pitching.
Disney definitely won🤷🏾♂️😂😂
@@karithema9ician657
In popularity? Yes
In actual quality? No
This show is in my top 10 favorite cartoons of my lifetime, largely for its great humor, but special mention goes to a scene you don't often see many "hero/protector" shows do, and one I think could have led to a much deeper show/series of episodes if it had been willing to be that sort of show, which it wasn't but I still love it bringing it up at least.
In the Dog Show Afternoon episode, the second to last episode of Season 2, Juniper learns she can NEVER leave Orchid Bay city. All her hopes, all her dreams, none of it matters, she physically has to stay in the city and is unable to leave, and her only hope for freedom is having kids so that the title / role is passed down to one of her children. Juniper proceeds to loudly proclaim exactly how unfair this is, exactly how much good she's done, and exactly the fact that SHE DIDNT CHOOSE THIS, it was forced upon her. She will someday HAVE TO get married and HAVE TO have kids so that the protection line continues, she doesn't get a choice in the matter. I loved that scene in this show. For once a show shows the curse of being a hero, of what it means to someone who never got asked if they wanted to be one but got it forced upon them,.There is a darker story to explore there, how little freedom she actually has in her role, exactly how unfair it is that no amount of good she does or world-saving she does will ever be enough to earn her hr freedom, her choice of what to do next. The best she can hope for is a life built around passing it to someone else so she has a few years of the freedom she was always denied.
That scene cemented this show as one of my top 10 favorite in my life.
My first association with this show: the scene in which the escaped spirit of a viking raider plunders a necklace from a jewelry store, them asks his buddy: "does this make me look cursed?".
Good show from what I can remember! It's like Totally Spies or Kim Possible ("girl cartoon that boys like"), except I felt it was even more gender-neutral since I didn't simp for Juniper but still found her fun to watch.
I remember the Cartoon Network bumper she was trying to save the day but The Powerpuff Girls beat her to it.
This show needs to return, so it can have that satisfying finale like Jake Long did
Jake long didn't have a satisfying finale. It was supposed to have a third season but was later canceled.
My week is complete. I can't wait to watch this. Yes, I remember this show and really liked it, I actually like it more than American Dragon. But I feel like when it was on TV, it was hardly ever aired. I also remember being about 7, and thinking that it was weird to have a girl as the main character for an action show. (not that that's bad, just at the time thought it didn't make sense).
My year will be complete if Jordan here does a video on two old Disney shows, Stanley, and Rollie Pollie Olie.
Jordan, last video you had replied to my comment, which made my day.
I do hope you see this Jordan, and hope you know there are people like me who love, appreciate, and look forward to your content. Keep healthy and keep posting these amazing videos.
Truly appreciate the kind words and support, means a lot!
The great big book of everything!
I recently rewatched this series after remembering it. Didn't take long to rewatch with only 3 seasons. It lacked some grand, overarching story that other shows like this have so it was kind of monster of the week. But as far as the writing & characters go, minus a couple, I thought it was a pretty fun & entertaining show that felt like it had more legs by the time it was cancelled.
I completely forgot this show existed! I recognised the characters immediately. I'm so glad you covered this show
I seriously always thought this show was a spinoff or otherwise somehow connected to American Dragon, I don't think I really put together that they were on separate networks or anything. The shows are so similar in concept and style that its hard to imagine that there wasn't ANYTHING connecting them behind the scenes.
I barely remember Juniper Lee, but I remember it being the "summertime show". I got a DVD in a Ranger Rick magazine that had this, Camp Lazlo, Fosters Home, and another show that doesn't come to mind. It also had all the summer bumps and I still have it somewhere. Love it to pieces.
Do you still have it?
I really loved this show when I was a kid. Like yes. I recognize it was basically American Dragon. But at the same time? She was a girl. And she had a deeper skin tone than Jake. So she looked like me in a sea of Asian kids who were nothing more than the stereotyped smart kids, finally there was a cool badass kid who saw fantastical creatures and I just really loved it.
Looking back, this show had...a lot of potential, in my opinion. I loved some of the characters (June, Ahma and Lela being three of them,) the action was good and the comedy was kind of amusing. However, there were two nitpicks I had towards the show that have stayed with me all these years.
1. The creatures in the series, for the most part, felt too odd and monstrous to be considered the typical "magical creatures" we all know. For all the issues I had with Marvel's version, Juniper Lee's Loki didn't really look like a god. Not to mention the nonsensical revamp on Leprechauns the show gave us.
2. As bad as the first nitpick was, my biggest issue with the series is the fact that Te Xuan Ze was forced to remain inside of Orchid Bay City; "by order of the Magical Elders." This idea not only made very little sense in the long run for me but in other shows involving fantasy creatures, the protagonist's duty was to protect the ENTIRE planet from unwanted harm from said creatures...not just their hometown.
Why in blue blazes would Juniper have to be forced into staying home forever when she could be of a greater service to magical beings worldwide?
Your first concern is legit, your second however is not, did you not pay attention? Juniper was at a centre focal point of magic, she couldn't be elsewhere because there were no magic beings elsewhere, that's why she was trapped there, so she'd always be "on duty".
@@pinkneko13 But why would Orchid Bay be the "center focal point of magic," wouldn't there be other magical creatures across the globe?
@@sadlobster1 because these creatures are from their own realm and they pass specifically through that city, these aren't naturally existing monsters that are hidden, but rather they come from another world and pass through into Junpier through that location. Thus the barrier.
I loved this show I wish they had gave it another season it was so fun her friends were cool,I loved her hair and every character we're fun in their own why even the older brother
I've heard sometimes the same concept gets pitched to multiple producers and ends up being picked up by all of them. If that's really a thing that happens, that could potentially explain the overlapping themes of these two shows that aired so close to eachother.
Man never stop doing this. You unlock hidden memories for me. I was instantly transported back to my room with my big ass analog tv just chilling. As a kid.
You’re really good at unlocking forgotten memories stored deep in my brain. I appreciate that. Most of the time anyway. Thank you.
This show was one of my favorite, who doesn’t love badass girl based shows? This was still back when cartoons has story driven plots and a rainbow of different art styles. The best era of cartoons for the millennial generation. I think a live action could be fun for this series. (Not like Netflix wink…)
Killer show 💜
Dude, anytime I watch one of your videos about shows I remember, it just reminds of the nostalgia of my early childhood years of cartoons, that era was a golden time for the 2000s.
I remember trying to replicate the artstyle as a kid....
...also that episode where she learns she can't leave messing me up a bit
Time to add another show from my childhood to my rewatch list because I probably didn’t pay enough attention to it as a kid and it seemed to be better than I remembered
I'm glad I'm definitely not the only one who remembers the early-mid 2000s run of cartoons on CartoonNetwork. Shout out to all the 90s kids
It wasn't among my favourites, but it was always a fun show to catch when it was on when I was a kid. That 'shit is going down' beeping sound her braclet makes activated some neurons in my brain that were dormant for well over a decade.
I remember the episode where everyone is going to a field trip or something out of town and she can't join them because she can't leave the city due to her duties, like she physically can't leave and her being very sad about it, it genuinely made me feel sad as well and that didn't happen often with cartoons for me as a kid, so it definitely has a place in my heart and my childhood. Was nice to be reminded of it.
Okay so i usually remembered everything you've thrown at me since i came to your channel a little over a month ago, but you definitely got me with this one bro. Stupid amounts of nostalgia hit me at once lol. That deserves a like!
I absolutely love these videos! This is giving me a chance to go back to simpler times, fun times and giving them the attention they deserve while putting a huge smile on my face dude. Stay cool.
Hell yes I remember Juniper Lee! I remember watching her show and thinking she was so cool and I wanted to be her so badly! I have been driving myself crazy trying to find this show online to rewatch it!
I think CN and other Networks should make TV/streaming movies (40-60 mins) for older shows like this. At best, the reception is great and you can reboot/continue the show. At worst, you expanded your library a bit and gave original fans closure. I think it would be low-ish risk for potentially high rewards!
Been binging your channel for a few days now. This is like...EXACTLY the kind of stuff I wish I could talk to my friends about, but none of them care about animation and cartoons like it do. This channel's been getting me through shift at work. Love the content. Keep it up.
P.S .- A "Wait...Remember Skunk Fu?" would be sick
Oh my Gosh🥲 you are taking me waaay back and making me feel old at the same time.
Hurray, my petition was mentioned! Seriously though, thanks a ton, my dude. I appreciate it big time. And yes I want to see more juniper Lee if hbo max and cn would friggin continue the damn amazingly awesome as hell show like the proud family is doing on Disney plus.
Haha no problem, thank you for checking out the video!
@@JordanFringe94 Hey anytime, man. Also I like to correct ya that it’s actually Orchid Bay, not orchard bay. Just just thought I’d like to point out to you without insulting you or anything of the sort.
Yes, I remember it. I was 9 years old when this show premiered, and I used to watch it all the time and just like American Dragon I was sad when it got canceled. The characters were likable, the world building was interesting, the action was great, and the humor was clever and at the center was this strong female character Juniper but I guess either Cartoon Network lost faith in it or people just weren't ready for shows with female leads. Either way, it's disappointing but it's a fun show regardless. Also fun trivia the music was composed by Genesis drummer Stewart Copeland who also did the PS1 Spyro games.
Your channel is so worth binging
Yes! I miss this show so much! I am glad you are doing a review on it.
But a Jake and Juniper crossover episode would’ve been fire
The main reason I watched this show was because I had such a huge crush on Juniper Lee back in the day
@@forrestannis909 same, I haven't seen it since it aired. The story was pretty solid from what I remember though
I loved Juniper Lee! She was fun, a great female lead, and her story had less social-drama than Jake Long had. I struggled watching Jake Long because of second-hand shame and stress, and Juniper Lee's lighter tone was way easier to enjoy. The color was amazing, I loved the story line, and while I realized I didn't catch many episodes, it was still something I found enjoyable. I think it'd be awesome if it was taken up again to wrap up the story line, if only for completion's sake, even as a comic rather than a full show. I don't understand why it was cut off either.
I can't get over Jordan's pronunciation of Orchid Bay lol
fair lol
I’ve actually never seen this cartoon but the animation looks stunning!
Oh nice! Another show I remembered watching. Who knew this show is similar to a certain other Disney show you talked about sometime ago. I wish this had a proper ending here.
Dude you're impressing me with the outside comic knowledge. Cartoon network action pack and block party under the Johnny DC label with comics on DC properties too, was epic and underrated. Good stuff!
Dude, again, another memory in the back of my mind brought to the front, your channel is awesome brother!
Thanks so much for the support!
American Dragon and Juniper Lee we’re only a few months away from each other in 2005! But people claimed they both had similar story telling?! So how in the world does that happen?!
I heard both creators took inspiration from Danny Phantom! 👻
I LOVED Danny Phantom when I was a kid ☺️
Didn't Danny Phantom premiered like a year before those shows?
@@sunspotmill1291 2004 Danny Phantom!
@@delix787 My point was that I don't think neither creators would've taken inspiration from a cartoon that barely premiered a few months before their own that fast.
@@sunspotmill1291 then how did Juniper Lee take inspiration from American Dragon so fast? I didn’t grow up with American Dragon. So the comparison game is obsolete to me.
I remember not giving the show a chance for the longest time back then because seeing the title from the TV guide I thought it was just a cartoon based on some random celebrity, lol
I am loving these longer videos once a week on Saturday my time Australia. Please keep it up! I can’t wait for you to talk about the iCarly revival season 2 also!!
i remember commentating on an icarly episode 8 months and u had 10k congrats on all the success ur content is great
You should do a video on Class of the Titans! I don’t know why but I suddenly unlocked the memory of it while taking a shower this morning. It’s crazy how often I remember watching it as a child but how little I remember of it now (like with all shows this channel reminds me of, honestly).
I loved to watch Juniper Lee as a kid, heck I think I liked it more than American Dragon seriously this show was awesome
Congrats on 250k.
I loved this show so much! I've just recently remembered it and had to dig for the name lol and, at least for me, it still holds up to this day
Yet another classic CN cartoon i could never forget!
The only reason I prefer AD:JL to Juniper Lee is because Juniper gives the illusion of and teases lore, but never commits to it, but American Dragon definitely did lore.
It had like, a season, right?
@@eatatjoes6751 what do you mean? Even Jordan said himself that Juniper had 3 seasons, while American Dragon had 2.
I was a huge fan of American dragon as a kid and I remember really wanting to see the Juniper Lee show… But for some reason I was never able to catch it while it was on. I wonder if different networks had competing time slots at the time.
man i fucking love this channel ive been watching everything since I found it yesterday. Another W upload
I DO remember Juniper Lee! I only watched 2 or 3 episodes, but I do remember it! It even got a DVD release over here!
I was always a personal fan more of American Dragon Jake Long (mainly because I didn't realize I had a huge crush on Jake, alongside other characters like Raimundo in Xiaolin Showdown), but the one thing I will say was that I was glad to see so much Chinese Culture and Chinese-American representation growing up. I think on top of other things, I probably spent more time watching AD:JL because of the Jetix era
I spent more time watching this, ironically because the slang Jake used seemingly constantly in the first season threw me off of it.
Weirdly enough, I once headcanonned Raimundo to be Jake's long lost brother, created as a clone using the latter's DNA to replace the American Dragon.
I only watched a few of your videos and I am already enjoying this so much and I hope to God one day you do a video of hero 108 as I use to love that show and its concept
Great video Jordan. Keep up the great work. Love your videos and personality.
Thanks so much!
Yeah I wouldn't mind seeing this show coming back:)it definitely seems like a show that would be a thing now especially and I like it a bit growing up^^i didn't know American dragon was a thing til we finally got Dinsey channel a little bit later. 😅But gosh I especially adore that art style in Life and times of Juniper Lee it's pop out in a way. 😄✨
Yup I remember this! I liked it. Didn't realize so many similarities to Jake!
The most surprising thing I've learnt is that she's meant to be 11? I always thought she was like 14 at least. Weird.
I'm am SO glad to see this appear in my recommendations. This cartoon came across my thoughts 4 months ago and for the life of me, I couldn't remember the name of this show. This show was very interesting, and being a kid, I never noticed how it was on the air and then it was gone and no new episodes came out. This series just faded from my mind as time went on, but every now and then I would think of this series.
I would love for this show to be completed. Just 2 more seasons.
This show was really Awesome, I can't believe it ended abruptly, this show deserves a good ending
We had cable already when both Jake and Juniper's shows aired so we got to watch them both. I was surprised too that they were so similar back then and kinda wondered why but didn't really think much of it cause I enjoyed watching them. I'd like to see a continuation of Juniper Lee's story since it did end on a cliffhanger.
As for which one I liked better... I guess Jake Long? I remember I used to doodle him a lot back then lol. Also it had more episodes and had an ending so it stuck with me more than Juniper Lee did.
Loving that channel banner
My first wait remember where I actually don't remember at all: how fun!!! Truly don't think I ever encountered this show which is great cause I get to be introduced to it through this amazing video so thank you !!!!!
As I recall it wasn't a bad show but if they were to revive it the animation would definitely need to have more impact on the action sequences these days. That was one of the major things I often found underwhelming about the show.
I loved this show ❤️ I still remember the theme song.
I actually had a crush on Juniper when I was young and could not find her for many years.
17 to be more precise. Time flies.
Well that's what happens when a network abandons a show for over a decade just because it wasn't on the same level of popularity as Ben 10, Foster's, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Billy & Mandy or Kids Next Door... They're left to fade away into obscurity... The only substantial semblance of attention Juniper Lee got was being on the Boomerang app.
Absolutely great video! It's a shame this is the only one out of the shows I didn't watch but I might try it! On topic of these shows, are you gonna talk about Randy Cunningham 9th Grade Ninja? It's similar to the two shows and has gotten more attention recently
I loved this show and would have loved to see a crossover between this show and American Dragon Jake Long.
The three shows that I always felt the same to me were American dragon, juniper Lee and randy Cunningham 9th grade ninja (with the last one the most different). I'd sometimes forget what show I was watching or misremember the names due to the similarities
I loved this cartoon so much! Especially the humor, every single joke worked perfectly for me. I miss this show.
Underrated Show! I ask people all the time if they watched this show, it's always so disappointing when nobody else has watched it. Honestly Juniper Lee is one of the shows that has a lot of influence on my writing.
On another note. Grandma was definitely my favorite character, I remember her just being the best grandma and absolute baller.
Who else saw one of the episodes on the sampler DVD they put into a National Geographic Kids magazine?
Hi Jordan! Ah my goodness, the life and times of Juniper Lee was a nostalgic and nice Cartoon Network tv show. As always I would get Fosters home for imaginary friends vibe. I hope you have a Happy Friday! :)
Thanks so much! Hope you have a great day as well!
@@JordanFringe94 Thank you so much and your welcome! :D
I remember this show. I loved watching it.
Awoken memories! **I LOVE THIS CHANNEL**
Would love to see a cross over between the two shows
Ok guys... Let's go sign that petition
I remember really liking this as a kid and being a huge fun of juniper. I never saw the third season though. Great video, you should do Oban star racers after your other Jed-X videos
While I can see the similarities from your description of American dragon (having never seen it myself), Juniper Lee was amazing all on its own. I loved that show and I was devastated when the cliffhanger never got resolved.
