Greatest Cartoon Ever! It was a cartoon that never took it's core audience for granted. Never dumbed anything down just because it was a cartoon. When Race shot his rifle, people died, and he didn't miss. Explosions killed people, not just knocked them down. It was realistic in lots of ways. Boys from 8-13 were enthralled. Still am today.

I was just 6 or 7 when this show originally aired. All the kids in my neighborhood loved it - and it made a huge impression on our young, unformed brains. We would play-act the characters and recreate the episodes in our backyard with all the neighborhood kids. Jonny Quest had an advertisement of a tennis shoe called "PF Flyers." We all desperately wanted a pair of those shoes. Good times.

When it comes to Jonny Quest, Nothing Beats The Original from the 60's The NEW Version from the 80's and the REAL Version from the 90's can't even hold a candle to this ACTION & VIOLENCE and BTW, I use to watch it everyday on TNT & TBS SuperStation back in the 90's as well as on Cartoon Network and Boomerang Thank GOD for DVD's

[@genuinesaucy]

I grew up with the 90's revival and it was my very favorite show as a kid, despite constantly scaring the shit out of me. I always wondered why they never aired the original too, and only got to watch it when I was much older and the internet was advanced enough for streaming video. Glad to see they never forgot the JQ mission statement of being the most badass cartoon on TV.

That second music track was something I particularly remembered and had been looking for here foe a while. I seem to remember it was used during the Sargasso Sea episode when the scuba-suit wearing villains were racing toward our heroes in a fast speedboat. The action themes and main theme are always heavy on the rapid drumbeats which is what makes them so compelling.

[@dongilleo9743]

The episode where Race shoots into the bulldozer blade to ricochet the bullets around the corner and kill the bad guy I only remember seeing once. I was a faithful viewer of Johnny Quest, and always remembered that episode, but I never saw it again until I bought the series on Blu-ray. I suspect it was banned from broadcast because it was one of the few times you actually see someone get directly shot and killed by the hero. Most deaths of the bad guys seemed to always happen indirectly, like Race shooting the water tower and it crashing down on the bad guys, or reflecting the laser beam back to blow up the villain's ship, etc. People probably died, but off camera and without bodies. Often the villains would inadvertently cause their own deaths

God, I love the unbridled death and wanton destruction depicted in this so-called "kid's cartoon" The shooting of the crocodiles has me laughing out loud. Dont get me wrong. I loved this show as a kid and I still think its great but, holy shit! Some of this stuff is pretty extreme by today's standards.

[@florinivan6907]

Crime increased visibly after 1964. Suddenly a cartoon depicting realistic weapons and violence hit too close to home. Broadcast standards got far more severe as a result. It only started letting up in the 90s. But even today this level of violence is weird. Especially played straight and not as a comedy like Family Guy. Funny thing is there's very little evidence of a significant link between fictional violence and real life. Its just an assumption taken as gospel by a public that likes to bury its head in the sand as to the true causes. Its most unlikely gangs in Chicago are shooting up a place because they watched a cartoon.

[@carolharris1236]

My only complaint about this amazing cartoon, was when the voice actor for Dr. Benton Quest was changed. The first actor had such a sexy voice, and seemed to “fit” the appearance of the character. The second voice actor sounded kind of goofy, as if he was being squeezed. 😂

[@carycomic1954]

Nah! Don Messick was more versatile. His voice-over credits range from Ranger Smith in the old Yogi Bear cartoons to every iteration of Scooby Doo!

One of my favourites. However, the Western cultural superiority and arrogance meme was telling... when the crew would go to a country and know more about it than the natives. Looking back, I thought "I can see why the Vietnam War went the way it did, given that common attitude.'

[@waynesarf8065]

The West had cultural superiority in animated cartoons, and that's really all we need to know.

[@HooDatDonDar]

‘Arrogance’ is when you take what you are not entitled to. Nothing to do with this. All kinds of bad guys. And mystery. Note how both sides are surprised in the mummy cartoon when the REAL. Anubis shows up. I think you are taking a previous attitude and putting it on this, not getting it from this.

[@stewartmillen7708]

@@HooDatDonDar I wouldn't define 'arrogance' so.... maybe greed, but arrogance in this case is admitting that you don't know everything, and particularly when you come into a situation and think you know more than someone who's already very familiar with everything. To give a classic case, Cuban meteorologists predicted that the 1900 hurricane that destroyed Galveston TX would enter the Gulf and strengthen, but American meteorologists blew them off (like, 'what do those Cubans know?'). Guess who was right? And some scenes of the natives are just insulting.... like Amazonian Indians getting into their canoes and padding them not seeming to have noticed that Race has knocked holes in the bottom. Really? That just screams that you think they're stupid.

This was a very bold and daring show from Hanna-Barbera when it debuted in 1964. It was its first dramatic series, the first with realistic character designs, the first such series for prime time TV, and the first of H-B's many action-adventure shows. Hanna-Barbera was entering its creative peak at the time of "Jonny Quest". It's too bad it resorted to recycled formulas and production shortcuts by the 1970s as a victim of its own success.
