Our Review
Jack of All Trades (2000) is a comedy and action series from Syndication. It has built a run of 22 episodes at roughly 30 minutes each. It premiered on January 22, 2000. Viewers rate it 7.5 out of 10. It is currently ended. It runs 2 seasons.
What Jack of All Trades Is About
American spy Jack Stiles is sent by Thomas Jefferson to the tiny East Indies island of Palau Palau, where he teams up with British agent and inventor Emilia Rothschild to thwart the efforts of Napoleon and France in that region of the world. While acting as Emilia’s man servant, Jack dons the mask garb of the legendary Daring Dragoon and fights the local French governor as well as thwarting various other schemes against America.
What to Expect When You Watch
Episodes run about 30 minutes, which keeps the pace tight, the full run covers 22 episodes, spread across 2 seasons and it leans into its comedy/action roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on Bruce Campbell, Angela Dotchin and Eric Morris to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Bruce Campbell, Angela Dotchin and Eric Morris lead the cast.
Key roles include Bruce Campbell as Jack Stiles / The Daring Dragoon; Angela Dotchin as Emilia Rothschild.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of comedy, action and adventure have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Syndication’s other originals, a 7.5/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2000 and carried by Syndication with the series still ended, it lands hardest with comedy and action viewers.
How Jack of All Trades Compares
If Jack of All Trades lands for you, the next stops are Nathan for You, Taskmaster and Seinfeld, which share its comedy/action lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.

On the whole Jack of All Trades is the kind of series that rewards a patient watch, with Bruce Campbell and Angela Dotchin doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its comedy/action roots, It has held up since 2000 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
Jack of All Trades is a safe bet for anyone already inside the comedy and action lane, at 22 episodes it is an easy run to work through, the audience score holds around 7.5/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 7.5/10. Watch it if you want comedy/action you can settle into.
