Jack of All Trades was an action/comedy television series that ran from January 17, 2000 – December 2, 2000. It aired back to back with sibling show Cleopatra 2525, in order to fill the time slot that was made empty when Hercules: The Legendary Journeys finished. While Cleopatra sought to replace the semi-serious and occasionally outlandish action facets of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Jack was intended to channel the series's more humorous side, utilizing the same cartoon sound effects and creating an alternate historical timeline where France won the Battle on the Plains of Abraham so that Napoleon Bonaparte ruled Canada. It starred Bruce Campbell (Autolycus) and Angela Dotchin (Kora) in the two lead roles.

Remarks[]
Jack Stiles, the lead character, assumed the identity of "The Daring Dragoon" to conduct most of his more outlandish activities. Though he had objected to Emilia Rothschild coordinating his activities, he had been ordered to do whatever Emilia told him--WITHOUT protesting any of it.
Verne Troyer appeared as Napoleon Bonaparte in a send-up of the accusations that the real Bonaparte had been a short man. Himself a little person, Troyer, sadly, suffered from alcoholism and ultimately died tragically.
