* [[Dueling Shows]]: with ''[[The Life and Times of Juniper Lee]]''. Contary to [[Follow the Leader|popular belief]], this show did not copy off of American Dragon. Both of their respective animation studios finished within a year of each other and neither creator knew of the other's project till they were pretty much on the airwaves. Ironically both shows lasted three seasons and were subject of Executive Meddling.

* [[Hey Its That Voice]]: Many, MANY examples, including, oddly enough (given the shared Chinese influence), a large part of the voice cast of ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender (Animation)|Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'', most notably [[Dante Basco]] (aka Zuko) as Jake Long, [[Mae Whitman]] (aka Katara) as Rose/Huntsgirl, and [[Keone Young]] (aka Jeong-Jeong) as Grandpa.

** Originally, the plot with the Aztec skulls and Dark Dragon plots were supposed to be based in different seasons, the Aztec Skulls plot taking place in season 2, with the Huntsman plot in season 3, likely explaining the fact that the plots weren't given enough time to develop: There wasn't enough time to properly explain all the plot points because they weren't ''getting'' another season. Other ideas involved a possibly [[Darker and Edgier]] approach with the finale of the second season, involving [[Killed Off for Real|Sun Park being thrown into a volcano]], and also revealing that Jake's Grandma was Chang, both ideas were discarded for being "Too Jetix". Rose was also supposed to stay in New York, but Disney said it was "[[Viewers Are Morons|too confusing]]" and [[Put On a Bus|sent her to Hong Kong]]. A ''lot'' of these ideas would probably have helped the show in the long run.
