QUEST Pt 12 Little Known Secrets About the Show

[@Heshem_Joel]

Grew up with this. The art and adventure storytelling was incredible. One of my favourites, the reason why I am here again after 55 years.

[@martykardaseski7590]

Every episode was awesome

[@PeterMayer]

And now I'm 63! LOL and I'm still watching this. What was cool to me as a five-year-old when it came out where the gadgets, high-tech things. Rocket belts, flying platforms etc

[@brankind969]

I was crazy about guns as a kid. Playing Cowboys and Indians was fun. It's perfectly healthy for young boys to release their aggression this way. When I grew up, I never even thought of owning a gun.

[@Zimster2000]

I remember as a kid watching Johnny Quest on Saturday mornings. There were plenty of frightening episodes: Dr Zinn's spider spy, Turu the Terrible, the energy monster they had to drop paint on to see it. Kudos to the author! He got through his "secrets" in a few minutes without too much talking/communicating on his part.

[@PeterMayer]

JQ rocks still and I'm almost 54!

[@thephoenix2176]

Archer's similarities

[@PaulieAFantoneJays19]

I'm 33 & I loved it as a kid & still do today...truly a gem from the Hanna-Barbera volt

[@edwardthegreat3]

This entire 27 part series you did is seriously, one of the best Documentaries ive watched. Well spoken, excellent editing, fantastic history, great structure. "Slow clap". Well done sir.

[@TerryB751]

Didn't know of so many nefarious secrets about this show when I was watching this in the mid 60s.

[@galt57]

Here is a secret I'd like to know -- where did they get the sound effects for the various monsters? We all remember the cry of the pterodactyl and the electric howl of the invisible monster.

[@SovereignStatesman]

Standard Hannah-Barberra Foley-sounds.

[@dakchang63]

Yes I've been looking for the invisible creature sound effect for years hid they make it?

[@davidgoossen113]

Always liked the screams of the 'bad guys' at their demise ........ a high pitch scream ......."AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

[@PaulieAFantoneJays19]

It just made it more epic!

[@jay55also]

Bwaaahahahahaha. The good old days of Hannah and Barbara.

[@woodyforest2100]

Good info about my favorite show. Thanks!

[@jackbusby2019]

Actually, Jade, in "Terror Island", shot at Dr. Chu. She was one of the "good guys".

[@PaulieAFantoneJays19]

Not a main character of the show though, I guess, lol good point!

[@Seeker7891]

I watched all these episodes as a young kid in the early 90s due to my Dad being a huge fan. I love Johnny Quest!

[@dougbrowne9890]

I had absolutely no knowledge of any of this. Just WOW! Thanks.

[@ericinwisconsin]

Jonny Quest was NOT the only series to play on all three networks. I'm sure that there are others, but Speed Buggy immediately comes to mind.

[@nickmitsialis]

That's the thing that got me, when I was a kid in the early/mid 60s: they actually blew guys away in this 'toon. I remember seeing the 'edited' version sometime in the late 1970s--embarrassing stuff. Now I managed to record all the eps from Boomerang, unedited for the most part. The 'non-fatal' cartoons that we have had since then have become seriously lame.

[@137alpha]

Nice bit of Quest trivia! Of course the weak-minded took the guns away from Jonny Quest, Yosemite Sam, etc, and now many of the really funny bits from the classic cartoons will never be seen by anyone again. Also, the changes in U.S. broadcast programming format has dramatically increased the amount of advertisements over the past 50 years. Standard 1/2 hour sitcoms like "I Dream of Jeannie" or "Gilligan's Island" averaged just under 26 min. When shown today, 4 min. are cut from each episode.

[@miketaylor7487]

You are not kidding! I grew up on 4 commercials (roughly 2 minutes). Now there are 8 minutes per commercial break...on PAID TV!

[@marianomaximocuyamora8881]

Estos capitulos de Jhonny Quest yo los veía de cuando era niño y me gustaban mucho, por eso los veo ahora , y por eso me gustaría mucho ver los capítulos completos. Gracias.

[@TIPTON340]

Jonny Quest played off and on for 15 years usually playing during hours on late Saturday mornings

[@bigsur175]

Dam I wish it was still on

[@olered7760]

I’m 60yers old n still enjoy this show

[@msh6865]

I received my first rifle at age 9. Seeing the boys shooting them in JQ seemed normal to me at the time. Such a scene in a cartoon today would undoubtedly cause boycotts and a wide variety of triggered traumatic responses.

[@bufnyfan1]

I vividly remember when Jonny Quest originally premiered on ABC in September 1964 at 7:30 (EST). I loved it right from the start. I was in Grade 2 and every Monday morning, all my friends talked about the episode that aired that Friday night. It was awful that the show only lasted one season. The ratings were excellent but the cost to produce an episode was very expensive and ABC wanted to cut the budget but Jonny Quest creator Doug Whiley refused to compromise the quality of the show on a "shoestring" budget so the show ended.

[@skibootdier9488]

The theme for this cartoon still gets me going..

[@luisvelez4092]

jOHNNY QUEST was my favorite cartoon .real people fighting. Vietnam WAS GOING ON AT THE TIME / Their was even a hot women Bannon's gal

[@michaellindsey31]

RIGHT ON

[@thomasthomas2418]

Jade gave me my first boner.

[@kendallsquare7575]

I'M A BIG FAN OF JONNY QUEST. HANA-BARBERA MAKES THE BEST CARTOONS IN THE WORLD.

[@Easy-Eight]

The "Bad Guys" aiming techniques were used for training the Imperial Storm Troopers, aka the guys in white who can't hit the broad side of a barn.

[@SwordsmanMercenary]

2:12 Hell yeah that's my kind of show even the kid get guns!

[@SovereignStatesman]

They only shoot at monsters, however; never people. Race shot a few people.

[@nickmitsialis]

@@SovereignStatesman And they're 'endangering species', too...Damn I loved this show! If you notice, the soundtrack sometimes gets drowned out by the gunfire and 'splosions'!

[@maxsmodels]

They gutted the best parts. did you know the guns were not allowed to be technically accurate to any real guns. The could resemble but but no be accurate drawings. Legal reasons. But they did pay attention to recoil and muzzle flash and sometimes spent casings being ejected.

[@SovereignStatesman]

Kids couldn't tell the difference, but they knew what looked real.

[@edkienzler406]

The Jetsons played on all 3 major networks at one time or another!!!

[@generoberts9151]

The music score in this cartoon was the bomb

[@williambabyak1094]

Another secret: Doug Wildey, the creator/animator of JONNY QUEST, first inked the SAINT comic strip back in the 1950's. He was the cat who gave Simon Templar a beard, claiming that it would make him appear more piratical. Wildey's Saint bears more than a passing resemblance to Benton Quest!

[@dongilleo9743]

I remember seeing the scene of Race shooting into the bulldozer blade to ricochet the bullets around the corner to kill the bad guy just once, and then never again until I got the series on Blu-ray. I thought they must have banned the episode, but apparently they just edited that part out. The back of my Jonny Quest Blu-ray warns that "The Complete Original Series is Presented as Originally Aired. It is Intended for the Adult Collector and May Not Be Suitable for Children."

[@Marcg-b4n]

Cool! Well done! Thanks

[@Agwings1960]

What I want to know is the unedited shows available anywhere.

[@hatbpto5180]

I like Race's bank shot off the bulldozer bucket!

[@susanda9469]

Is that Daws Butler as the dark-haired guy in Secret One?

[@zaq55]

You are correct.

[@robothunter1035]

No animals were harmed in the making of Jonny Quest. They were all trained, professional stunt animals.

[@GaryBailey-hk4ex]

Wow no kidding Doug Wildey did the artwork on the Saint, I loved that comic, and T.V. series!!! GaryBailey KingofDarkness

[@sheldonhchambliss1385]

the action was cliff hanging

[@realmczappa]

this explains a lot why dr zin hates them so much…he just wants some green is all 🤣

[@censusgary]

What was he shooting at that water tower? It sure wasn’t just bullets.

[@randorfja]

Best carton ever!

[@kharnifex]

I'm glad Venture bros continues the insanity

[@BradiKal61]

@43 That guy's voice is setting off memories. He's been in a bunch of cartoons, most of them far more wacky than Jonny Quest.

[@zaq55]

Good ear. That’s legendary carton voice-over actor Daws Butler

[@donowens7872]

@@zaq55 Dr. Quest was voiced by John Stephenson and the legendary Don Messick

[@zaq55]

Sorry. By “that guy” I thought you meant the unnamed character @ 0:42. That’s the voice to whom I was referring.

[@susanda9469]

"the use of this could be abused"...

[@SovereignStatesman]

It was for long-range space-missions, but could work for mind-control as well.

[@deepseadirt1]

1:36 So what if Dr. Quest mentions hallucinogenics/marijuana. Back in the 70s in Jr High School we studied every kind of illicit drug in Social Studies class. SOCIAL STUDIES! We learned about hallucinogenics, barbituates, amphetamines, quaaludes etc. This show was light years ahead of it's time.

[@speedracer1945]

Hell we did them all at my Jr. High .

[@bradleyweiss1089]

Yeah those classes were ads

[@jeffreyb8770]

I got a Johnny Quest decoder ring when I bought my P.F. Flyers. Reflector, code maker, secret compartment. Then, a jealous kid smashed it into a million pieces.

[@kevinpowers9024]

Is there anywhere to get the unedited series on dvd? I looked in to getting this recently, but customer reviews of the dvds say the series episodes have been edited due to our woke world now.

[@Kingjamesbible1611-r]

Johnny Quest was the best....

[@sheldonhchambliss1385]

great video

[@laredogrande6183]

How did hadji end up being with them?

[@vhs8669]

Are the dvd's of today uncut??

[@PeterMayer]

And of course I had to have PF flyers because Johnny quest had PF flyers!

[@TheYeti308]

iiieeeEEE , goes the bad guy .

[@garyquail2347]

I think if I remember correctly there was a person once by the name of Peggy Sharon I could be wrong on my spelling of the last name butt back in the late 60s throughout the early seventies probably through the 80s a lot of these shows where tone down quite a bit because she was on I believe I don't know what branch of the White House she appointed herself as someone who would oversee the networks For cartoon violence.

[@clementjohnson2666]

That "last comment " isn't true . Becuz as a child , I remember watching Johnny Quest on t.v. on the n.b.c.network ch.5 And I remember all of those scenes from J. Quest.... up to & including the last one where Charlie the cook was trying to climb up the ladder to evade those sharks . And with regards to who did the voice of Charlie , I think it was the actor , Keye Luke . I'm not certain , but I think it was him . And as a child , J . Quest came on t.v. on Sat . MORNINGS .I WISH that Hanna - Barbera had have made More episodes of J . Quest , because that was a terrific animated series . I give it 4 stars ⭐ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ .

[@arturboras6615]

New Zealand engineer 😊🐕

[@sprungmonkey6inches]

I liked the ricochet shots at the commie behind the building. also Quest didn't mention Pineapple express as his hallucinogenic of choice.

[@sprungmonkey6inches]

i wanna party now with Dr Zin. He's after the "formula" that is now legal in California. I wonder if he does bong hits?

[@OdeeOz]

And all this time I thought they were cut to increase the commercials. I well remember the hype of the late 60s and 70s about too much violence on TV in cartoons. Even Bullwinkle, and Beany & Cecil had plugs about it in their shows. Yet by the mid 70s, violence increased on both TV and at the Theater. Go figure the Liberal mind, right?

[@charlesmiddleton9952]

When in doubt,start shootin'

[@silviaraymundo7946]

Sorry Jonny nas Hadji pointed and shot guns to jacarés (crocodiles) on Amazon river.

They don't make them.. Like that any more.. They are too Political.. Need to have a kid.. From every part of the world.. No better yet the (American kid is a dummy)... I watch this show.. Loved every min of it.. I wanted to be Dr. Quest.. Science, History, Distance Lands was cool.. Thank god my kids are all grown.. The Cartoons to day.. Suck compared to my time... Example - (Thundar the Barbarian, Johnny Quest, Space Ghost, Hong Kong Fuy, )....

[@praetorianpatriot3267]

Jonny Quest and the others were all Republicans who voted for Trump.......My kind of people...!

[@jeffdowler9130]

BS. I seen all parts in the show when I was a kid.

[@jeffreylocke8808]

The woke origin used for Johnny Quest!!!

[@matthewguzda4075]

Jesus busy body parents and the "this cartoon will make them violent" nonsense. I had an armory of toy guns and loved shows like this and grew up to be against violence. Its really upon the adult to instill a sense of morality and kindness in a child. Children want a sense of control and to be able to affect the world, to be strong. It doesn't mean you're growing into a homicidal maniac . But it was the age of Aquarius right? And any script without conflict and resolution is a bore. This show expised kids to very well written music too.

[@abaneyone]

It should have never been on saturday morning cartoon time!

[@janel.8921]

It was originally aired on Friday evenings. My parents watched it with us.

[@malcolmhamilton5200]

I can't find anything on that cartoon show super president

[@acholl980]

The show didn't gain popularity until later in reruns and saturday mornings. Only The Flintstones were there highest rated primetime show and ABC wasn't up to give the other three shows the expense if they weren't in the top twenty. Even Star Trek suffered during it's three year run because NBC judged the show by content and not the demographics.

[@acholl980]

The shows were too expensive to be produced
