"American Dragon: Jake Long" (Disney Channel; 8 p.m. Friday)

Think: Animated adventures of a 13-year-old Manhattanite who possesses the ancient Chinese ability to transform into a dragon ...

Don't think: ... and uses his talents to indulge in dragon flatulence and clean toilets with his tongue.

In a nutshell: Amid the obvious crowd-pleasing, if sort of condescending elements, Jake's haplessness and a bit of clever scripting allow for some entertaining moments despite itself.
