I don't remember the title or author, but back in the 1970's I read a science fiction short story about "political correctness" that ended with the protagonist trapped inside a room with his politically correct attackers trying to beat down the door to get to him. As a child it was a sci-fi horror tale, but it's literally come true today!
Yeah, pointing out two wrong things doesn’t make either right. Looney Tunes has been edited for many decades, and rightly so if it’s intended for young audiences, but the originals should always be available as well for folks that want to watch media in its proper historical context.
@@russellharrell2747 if ya go around censoring things for children too much they'll be shocked when they experience things far removed from the sanitized representation of the world they've seen in media. /]
When I first came across this show in the 90s after having not seen it since I was a kid, the most shocking thing to me was the level of violence. Kids being shot at, people being shot and killed, plane crashes and car crashes that are clearly fatal and the plot just keeps steaming along. Jonny Quest's head in the cross hairs of a rifle scope of a high powered rifle is a bit jarring to see in a kid's cartoon.
When he got the job his parents were like, "Well, just so long as it doesn't interfere with your school work" And then he would ride his bicycle to the studio after school to record his lines. What a cool job to have as a kid and I love the fact that it was looked upon as just a fun activity for a kid to engage in for a short while and not a stepping stone to fame and fortune.
It was the greatest cartoon on Saturday morning for kids, nothing else ever came close. Unfortunately, Hana-Barbara lost money or barely broke even, the animation was top notch for its day.. consdering the other cartoons of its day. I have it on DVD and rewatch it as an older adult, I feel sory for kids today they never got to see this. Best line from Dr Quest when he said 'I have a new found respect for cavemen' after a terror encouter with a flying Pterodactyl episode... um.. humans and dinosours are seperated by millions of years.. Doctor of Quackery.. gold . this was and still is the best cartoon EVER.
My friends and I as kids in the 70's loved this show. It was one of the cartoons that we couldn't wait to see on Saturdays. Also, the episode you're talking about with the British guy was titled "Tresure of The Temple". The British guy's name was Perkins, and he had a native friend named Montoya. And Doctor Quest didn't bring them to justice. Race was shooting at stalactites in an underground cave to try and sink the boat that Perkins, Montoya and two other natives where riding in pursuing doctor Quest and his party. When Race successfully sunk their boat, they had to then swim. However, the crocs seem them too. And the crocs got them. You could hear Montoya say, "I cannot swim" followed by Perkins saying, "Then you better learn fast laddy". Then, nothing but yells. So, you knew that they didn't make it.
JQ is a 60's show themed after 50's wild adventure books and movies. Race is an ex UDT frogman and killer, now bodyguard and driver. He works for the US government to protect Quest and his son. His lady friend, Jade, is a very hard core fantasy woman of the time. Part S&M expert and part Marion Ravenwood. She NEVER speaks to Jonny. She likes men, not boys. Hadji is a cool, loyal friend for lonely Jonny. That's why they adopted him. Jonny's super genius father Dr Benton Quest is often too busy to be there for Jonny, designing weapons for the US government. No mention of a mother. Ever. It all made perfect sense... in 1955.
I would watch it every week when it originally ran and I have the dvd of it...Johnny Quest racial comment was mild ( tho wrong) compared to the Dick Tracy cartoons of the 60's
JQ was in syndication when I was a kid in the 70s. I always loved it, now I remember why.
it had that type of humor that we kids love, and the racism our parents loved XDD
@@beatles42ohgg94 Indeed. It's one of those shows that does (in its own way) introduce kids to the wider world around them.
Same
As a kid I loved this show. Times were so much better back then.
Classic Johny Quest was so cool. Alex Toth always delivered.

“Let the bigots be bigots!” is not a sound argument.
@@gregbuster4187"Let _us_ bigots be bigots!" Is more accurate.
@@gregbuster4187you’re at the door
you probably would have loved The Turner Diaries.
Watch "Full Metal Jacket" and that will cure you of sensitivy
OMG! Someone used some WORDS that I don't want to hear!
Watch you melt when aomeone takes a knee during the national anthem

Communism is cool and necessary
No reference to the Venture Bros. send-up?
It's hard to bring up The Venture Bros without it being a whole thing, you know?
Bugs Bunny once called in Indian a half breed in Looney tunes so take that

@@Lethgar_Smith it pulled no punches
People in general were tougher back then
I watched Jonny Quest as a kid. It was a favorite in our family.
I still watch it
The voice actor that played Jonny Quest is still acting today he plays Doc on Netflix's Virgin River
He was also the lead in Animal House
When he got the job his parents were like, "Well, just so long as it doesn't interfere with your school work"
And then he would ride his bicycle to the studio after school to record his lines. What a cool job to have as a kid and I love the fact that it was looked upon as just a fun activity for a kid to engage in for a short while and not a stepping stone to fame and fortune.
Jonny Quest is awesome! You need to make the effort to watch the this
It was certainly a different time back then, huh? Watched this on Boomerang. Good times.
Good for some, not all.
@@gregbuster4187yeah well guys are wearing skirts now so hopefully that works for you

The artist also did the Super Friends character designs
"Either a giant robot or a group of police officers, I forget which." Sounds like Freakazoid, yup!

I see nothing wrong with this.
That’s revealing
Looking at that sub list and it tracks.

but at least he did not call them sellouts. Johny Quest said that.
