However, its main run wouldn't start until later that fall with the airing of "In Training", which is listed as episode 2 despite being the first episode of the show's main run.

The last few episodes aired early Saturday mornings on Disney Channel and after all 64 episodes were shown, The Jersey was completely taken off the air in June 2004.
