Jack of All Trades (TV series)

Jack of All Trades is a half-hour-long syndicated action comedy TV series which ran for two seasons in 2000.

It is set at the turn of the 19th century (beginning in 1801) on the fictional French-controlled island of Pulau-Pulau[3] in the East Indies.

To the public, Jack is seen as Emilia's attaché (she sometimes serves as his), and in order to protect his identity as a secret agent, while acting against the enemies of America, Jack often adopts the identity of a legendary (though otherwise fictional) masked hero: "the Daring Dragoon".

The show contained many ongoing gags, such as historical inaccuracies (such as Canada being a French territory rather than part of the British Empire, and Benjamin Franklin being on the 100 dollar bill during his lifetime), Jack being responsible for many important historical events but not receiving credit, Emilia inventing a miraculous invention in an obvious deus ex machina, sexual puns and innuendos, and Jack and Emilia's ongoing romantic tension.

The tune and lyrics are based on numerous period songs, such as the "Marines' Hymn" and "Yankee Doodle".
