The Jersey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Jersey(2000-2003) is a television series produced by the Disney Channel and based on the Monday Night Football Club books by Gordon Korman. The Jersey is about Nick Lighter, Morgan Hudson, Coleman Galloway, and Elliot Riffkin, four teens who discover the magic of "the jersey", a mystical garment that transports them into the bodies of professional athletes. This is done in a way similar to the way that the main character in Quantum Leap, Sam, travels from body to body, and there is a different athlete featured in every episode. The show has several sports superstars as guest actors, including Terrell Davis, Tony Gonzalez, Shannon Sharpe, Donovan McNabb, Kurt Warner, Stephon Marbury, Kordell Stewart, Jerome Bettis, and Laila Ali.

[edit] Cancellation

While production on the show wrapped in 2001, new episodes were shown until 2003. The last few episodes aired early Saturday mornings on Disney and after all 65 episodes were shown, The Jersey was completely taken off the air. At this time, the network still required all of its shows to end after 65 episodes to avoid repeat storylines and find newer, fresher shows to bring in a younger audience.
