Damn, that opening for Jonny Quest has always been so epic. Some of the best action-packed scenes with the best music. I'll always remember it. Even though I wasn't around for the 60s, I recognize the height of 1960s coolness when I see it.
At the beginning of the 1964/1965 TV season, “Jonny Quest” was on Friday nights at 7:30, and “The Flintstones” was on Thursday nights at 7:30. Halfway through the season, the two shows switched time slots.
I was born in 1962, so I only remember watching Johnny Quest on Saturday mornings along with all the other great cartoons of the 60's. Oh, how I wish MeTV would add it to the line-up.
I was 9 years old when Jonny Quest premiered and it was a perfect show for a young boy! Recently I rewatched the entire original series and found every episode as thrilling as ever.That opening is shear perfection!
Me too and for some odd reason, I identified with Race Bannon. I guess because he was Dr. Quest's right hand man and he would always come through in the end.
Jonny Quest was and still is my favorite cartoon. I was 5 years old in 1965 but this was the one show I could stay up and watch. One of my strongest memories is sitting on the couch with my Dad watching Jonny Quest. I really miss you Dad!😢
Ho USMC Veteran ( Respect and Salute,first of ALL!!) J Q is available I Have it in Blu Ray Hi Def...the Uncut, Un-politically correct version as it was when presented back then. I was 7 in 1965..just had my 64th B-day last month. MY how the time goes by...I Love all this stuff and remember most it very well. I have almost all of what shown eithe rin DVD/Ble Ray Download, or in File. Great stuff
GREAT memories! I had graduated from high school just three weeks earlier and we then moved to San Antonio. Great TV in those days. I don’t even watch TV now. It’s mostly stupid garbage! Thanks for these great videos! ❤️
Fastest 7 minutes ever, Yet it felt like a lifetime. Johnny Q, Hadji and Bandit! That pulse racing intro and music still raises my heartbeat. omg Donna Reed, still crushing on her to this day, so beautiful , modest, wholesome, no one today compares to her. This was life in the 60's , TV was so much more than the tribal division medium it has devolved into today. Watching this was like a tall drink of cold old fashioned lemonade served in a ice filled pitcher by Grandma on the front porch rocking chair on a sweet summer day in June as the sun is setting.
Some of the best....The Perry Mason theme gave me a flash back when I was a little kid. Had to be in bed by 8:00. I could hear Mom watching it on a black and white T.V. on a roll around cart....Thanks' Fred!
Jonny Quest and The Jetsons only ran for one season each it's so sad we never got more than 26 episodes of each show they were both great but Hanna Barbera couldn't find new network homes so they were canceled.
I loved Thursday nights, we were allowed to stay up to watch Bewitched and then had to go right to bed! Thank you Fred, this was fun as always--kind of sad that I know the TV listings from 50 years ago and have zero idea what's playing on the three networks now! 😄👍👍👍
So many great classics! I was glad to hear Perry Mason's intro again! Also, thanks for playing Johnny Quest 1st! Always loved that show even though I grew up in the 80s. There's a timelessness there with these other shows that, even through reruns, are fantastic !
@@FredFlix Still is! Dr. Zinn will always be my fave villain, Teru the Terrible my fave episode, and the invisible monsters shriek still creeps me out!
I just had my first birthday a week before this airdate. I was an infant when Johnny Quest first aired. I remember watching as a Saturday morning cartoon as a very young child during the late 60's and early 70's.. The theme to me music has always sounded seemed very mature for a cartoon, because of its jazzy nature.
I was only 7 years old that summer. And I had just gotten out of second grade as well. These shows bring back memories of my 60's childhood. (I am now 65.)
Some of the most iconic opening in tv history in this episode: Jonny Quest, Bewitched, Perry Mason, Daniel Boone... All favorites of course! And Donna Reed and Barbara Hale (from Perry Mason) were two of the most gorgeous and classy ladies to ever appear on the small screen.
Hoyt Axton's "Jonny Quest" theme was one jammin' cartoon theme. Oh! That trombone solo! Jerry Goldsmith's theme for "Dr. Kildare" was another favorite. Thanks, Fred! 😀👍
That would put me exactly at 7 & 1/2 yrs., Saturday morning cartoons were the best, Johnny Quest was my favorite, and for a children's action cartoon it had the best music of any show. Saturday morn. cartoons till around 10:00/10:30 and then outside we all went, parents wouldn't see us again till supper.
Another great job, Fred! You matched up the shows to their correct season openings, whether B&W or color, and you even got the correct B&W opening for BEWITCHED (showing the kitchen door & cabinets). Most of the shows were in reruns by this time, but only for a month or even a couple weeks (as BEWITCHED had been).
I was five years old back then and while I remember some of those shows what I remember the most is my bedtime was 8:30 central time 😂😂 I love your channel!
Wow I was 6 years old at the time and fondly remember Jonny Quest. My dad had just purchased a color Magnavox console TV and we could watch it in color too. Our other television in the main living room was a 1947 (I think?) Zenith Console TV . One episode that was my favorite (in re runs several times) was The Robot Spy with Dr Zin. Though I didn't watch the Suspense theater show I do remember the opening and that music gave me nightmares at the time. I also watched Daniel Boone too along with my two younger brothers
Even though I caught Jonny Quest when they were showing it around 12pm Saturdays around 1970 or so, I really enjoyed it. Now I'm nearly 61 and own the DVD set I bought some years back :)
That was lovely Fred....something about the Singer store made me sad that at one time people sewed enough to support a whole brand with storefront locations and now you couldn't find a sewer in a crowd if you tried! So many things have gone that way.....!
I remember a thrill when Mum cleared the kitchen table after tea and stared to pin paper patterns on a piece of cloth because it probably meant I could get away with staying up late. She had a powder blue Singer that had black discs you had to put in to get different stitches.
I liked "Daniel Boone" intro song and "Perry Mason" was one of Mom's favorite shows. "Peyton Place" I never got to watch. Dad thought it immoral. 🤷🏽♀️ Thanks, my dear sir. 💜🤟
I loved the original JQ, and still do! I caught it in Saturday morning syndication in 1968/69, along with my other favourite, The Thunderbirds. Our local station ran them at broadcast begin and I bounced out of bed at 5 a.m. to see them! Ah, Saturday mornings! In my head I divided up the morning into "Triassic", "Jurassic" and "Cretacious". The "Triassic" was the very early morning when my top favourite cartoons came on. The "Jurassic" was the somewhat later ones that were still fun, but not quite as interesting. The "Cretacious" was the late morning, which when the live-action kid's shows came on, most of which I hated. Instead I switched to a show that ran old horror and kaiju films, which were infinitely cooler to 6-year-old me!
So was Dr. Benton and Race and item? Notice that look Race gives him. Kidding aside I never realized how massive was the vertical stabilizer on that rocket. The sound effects for the show were the best... Love the laser beam sound. I recall singing a slightly different lyric to Daniel Boone and not stuff people repeat today. Fun seeing these oldies but goodies.
JONNY QUEST was cancelled after one season due to high production costs. Tim Matheson provided the voice of Jonny. Who the following season voiced the character of Jace on SPACE GHOST and later Young Samson on SAMSON & GOLIATH. He would later became known for his appearance in NATIONAL LAMPOON'S ANIMAL HOUSE. The opening animation for BEWITCHED was produced by Hanna -Barbera. SUSPENSE THEATER aired as KRAFT SUSPENSE THEATRE during its intial 2 season run on NBC.
I watched a LOT of TV back in the late 50's through the early 70's on our always black and white TV. So on the date of this video I was 11 years old and 1 month into our no school summer with about two months left before I would start 7th grade. I lived in the Mountain Time Zone so we had different start times and sometimes different programs on our 3 channels. The shows in this video that I watched once or twice and never again were: * Johnny Quest. Nope, it wasn't because I was a girl. It was because it was a cartoon. * Donna Reed. Boring. I later found out that my mom (40 years older than I) had never liked Donna as an actress. She was very angry when CBS replaced Barbara Bel Geddes, Ms. Ellie on Dallas, with Donna. She told me "Donna has none of the sweetness that Barbara has!" I was glad for my mom when Barbara recovered and returned to the show. But, come on, what was Bob Crane, Mr. Porno, doing on The Donna Reed show? * Peyton Place, Bewitched, Perry Mason. Just not interesting to me. And I don't remember ever seeing the Suspense Movie. The shows that I had watched in previous years but gave up on were: * Hazel, My Three Sons, Daniel Boone. The plots and the characters were generally the same as they had always been. I did like Ed Ames' voice and his unintentionally misplaced tomahawk throw on The Tonight Show (which I ALWAYS watched). That leaves the show in this video that I always watched - Dr. Kildare. Yep, serious crush time. He was God's gift to women - smart, humble, able to fix what ails you, and devastatingly handsome but never would stray. But I did notice that the women in Dr. Kildare's life began to suffer from the "Bonanza Women's Syndrome" - they died; forgot they were still married to someone who had disappeared on a long sea voyage but then returned; decided to become a nun or went back to the convent, etc. And, I eventuallly noticed that Richard Chamberlain in real life never found the right girl. So, I bid adieu to the doc at the series end and found another crush - The Wild, Wild West's James West whose only positive characteristic was that he was devastatingly good looking. Thanks, Fred, for creating the videos. Hope you are doing well!
Great nostalgia, Fred. I would love to hear a modern digital recording of the Jonny Quest theme. So exciting. I remember I could hardly wait to be 11 like Jonny. How is it that Donna Reed was more attractive in her show than in It's a Wonderful Life? I grew up with "nice guy" Fred McMurray, and it was quite a revelation to see him as a heel in various movies.
RR, I agree with you about Donna Reed. It seemed that the older she got, the more attractive she became. When she was on “Dallas”, I thought that she was positively gorgeous.
Hell yes Jonny QUEST! Amazing adventures with HUMAN villains and good guys wielding GUNS! No PC here just raw fun adventure and danger! And it gave rise to what....The Venture Brothers! Another series entirely unconcerned with people's feelings. God.... the old days, I miss them!
Whitney Blake of Hazel was of course the mother of Meredith Baxter (Family Times and Lifetime Movie fan favorite) and the creator of One Day at a Time which was inspired by her relationship with her daughter
I was 7 years old in 1965, and I knew when Peyton Place came on I better damn sight be in bed. Plus, I wasn't allowed to watch anything that 'racy',lol.Johnny Quest was a favorite for me!
I recall hearing or reading somewhere that the composer of the Jonny Quest theme intentionally wrote it to make the trombone players hate him. The pace of the sliding was really fast. Trivia Question: What was "Race" Bannon's actual first name?
I remember walking into the Redding CA airport just a Fess Parker was walking out. I was just a boy, but he sure looked as "tall as a mountain" to me. I wonder what his business was there in Redding or the north state?
We have neighbors living just two doors to the west. 'Tis a young chap and his bride and their 3 chillins. They've been living there 13 years and are indeed "good neighbors," just blue-collar working folks doing the best they can in a world gone mad. I learned just a few months while talking to "Elizabeth" one day as she was waiting for the school bus to arrive with their youngest son that she has always preferred to be called "Peyton". And yes, that's because her mom had loved watching..."Peyton Place".
Not a fair comparison. Clutch Cargo was terrible, plus those "lips" were distracting. For an action cartoon, Jonny Quest was state-of-the-art for mid-1960s TV.
You always post great content. But you have cost me some hours searching out clips and episodes of some of these shows we grew up with. Things have changed so much TV isn't as fun as it used to be.
Damn, that opening for Jonny Quest has always been so epic. Some of the best action-packed scenes with the best music. I'll always remember it. Even though I wasn't around for the 60s, I recognize the height of 1960s coolness when I see it.

I recently bought the complete Jonny Quest from VUDU (streaming service on my Roku device). It was on sale, so I jumped. Picture quality is great.
I was born in 66 but remember all these shows from syndication reruns as a latch key kid to a single parent in the 70s and early 80s thanks Fred!!
You're welcome, Beavis.
I was 9 years old when Jonny Quest premiered and it was a perfect show for a young boy! Recently I rewatched the entire original series and found every episode as thrilling as ever.That opening is shear perfection!
I was also 9, Michael. Like you said: A perfect show for us.
I too was 9.
Me too and for some odd reason, I identified with Race Bannon. I guess because he was Dr. Quest's right hand man and he would always come through in the end.
Remember Combat! When TV was worth watching.
Did you watch Johnny Quest in color or B&W when it first aired?
I LOVED Johnny Quest!! So many great memories from "back in the day" in this video. Life was good back then, I MISS those times! Thanks!!!! ❤️
You're welcome, Pam.
Jonny Quest was and still is my favorite cartoon. I was 5 years old in 1965 but this was the one show I could stay up and watch.
One of my strongest memories is sitting on the couch with my Dad watching Jonny Quest. I really miss you Dad!😢
I Feel You, it was the First Toon That My Poppa Watch with Me. R.I.P. Poppa.
We never missed Daniel Boone too, my Dad loved it.
Good old, good old memories.
I never missed Jonny Quest, as a 10 yr old back in 1965. I'd watch it now at 67 yrs old, if it was available.

This was like heaven! Thursday was a treat. Jonny Quest was THE best animated series in the 60's. Who knows what's on Thursday nights anymore.
I still love the opening to Johnny Quest.
It is still impressive today 😂

Great job. I like this format.
Thanks, Sun Gee.
I didn't know Jonny quest was broadcast on Thursdays ! Fun fact : Tim Matheson of Animal House was the voice of Jonny.
Best theme song ever !
Agreed!
Tim also did the voice of Jace(Space Ghost) and Samson(Young Samson & Goliath).

GREATEST CARTOON OF ALL TIME... ALL TIME!!!! YES i own full series on DVD.. once a year rainy day event
One of my favorite TV cartoon dramas of my youth! Jonny Quest! =D
June 24, 1965. I was 5 years old on that date!
Another fantastic trip down Memory Lane,Fred!
Jonny Quest and The Jetsons only ran for one season each it's so sad we never got more than 26 episodes of each show they were both great but Hanna Barbera couldn't find new network homes so they were canceled.
Oh, I see. Additional epis added 20+ years after its initial run. I shoulda known better. 🙂
This brings back wonderful memories--I was eight in 1965 and remember watching most of these shows. Keep up the good work!
Will do, BB.

Great Show! Watched it every Saturday morning right after Combat! Vic Morrow!
Hoyt Axton's "Jonny Quest" theme was one jammin' cartoon theme. Oh! That trombone solo!
Jerry Goldsmith's theme for "Dr. Kildare" was another favorite.
Thanks, Fred! 😀👍
Couple of other Hoyt Axton classics: "Joy To The World" (Three Dog Night) & "The Pusher" (Steppenwolf).
I would not be born for another 3 months. The Bewitched theme tune has always been one of my favourite pieces of music.
That would put me exactly at 7 & 1/2 yrs., Saturday morning cartoons were the best, Johnny Quest was my favorite, and for a children's action cartoon it had the best music of any show. Saturday morn. cartoons till around 10:00/10:30 and then outside we all went, parents wouldn't see us again till supper.
Great stuff in those days! Love it.
Best Cartoon in history Jonny Quest 1964. Hanna Barbera. 2nd Best. Speed Racer-1967. Japanese cartoon.
Another great job, Fred! You matched up the shows to their correct season openings, whether B&W or color, and you even got the correct B&W opening for BEWITCHED (showing the kitchen door & cabinets).

As a child I loved this show.

Wow! Talk about a time machine drop-off.
Back when we who witnessed were young, and everything was brand new.
That was a memory provoker. So many good shows that were on at that time. Where have they gone ?🤔
Even though I caught Jonny Quest when they were showing it around 12pm Saturdays around 1970 or so, I really enjoyed it. Now I'm nearly 61 and own the DVD set I bought some years back :)
Johnny Quest is one my most favorite cartoons ever along with Space Ghost.
This is great stuff! I was 9 years old and glued to the TV set for almost all of these shows -- Thank you Fred for the great memories!

Thx Fred. Best thing since sliced bread!
Great intro's love too see those again.
That was lovely Fred....something about the Singer store made me sad that at one time people sewed enough to support a whole brand with storefront locations and now you couldn't find a sewer in a crowd if you tried! So many things have gone that way.....!

how time does fly, great to reminisce though. thanks!

The first tv show I remember watching was _The Munsters_ at my Grandparent's house. I was about 4 years old.
I liked "Daniel Boone" intro song and "Perry Mason" was one of Mom's favorite shows. "Peyton Place" I never got to watch. Dad thought it immoral. 🤷🏽♀️
Thanks, my dear sir. 💜🤟
I wonder what your dad would think of today's shows, Mercedes.
@@FredFlix I guess he would go for quality shows like I do. Because there are quality shows, trust me. 💜😉🤟

I watched a LOT of TV back in the late 50's through the early 70's on our always black and white TV.
So on the date of this video I was 11 years old and 1 month into our no school summer with about two months left before I would start 7th grade. I lived in the Mountain Time Zone so we had different start times and sometimes different programs on our 3 channels.
The shows in this video that I watched once or twice and never again were:
* Johnny Quest. Nope, it wasn't because I was a girl. It was because it was a cartoon.
* Donna Reed. Boring. I later found out that my mom (40 years older than I) had never liked Donna as an actress. She was very angry when CBS replaced Barbara Bel Geddes, Ms. Ellie on Dallas, with Donna. She told me "Donna has none of the sweetness that Barbara has!" I was glad for my mom when Barbara recovered and returned to the show. But, come on, what was Bob Crane, Mr. Porno, doing on The Donna Reed show?
* Peyton Place, Bewitched, Perry Mason. Just not interesting to me. And I don't remember ever seeing the Suspense Movie.
The shows that I had watched in previous years but gave up on were:
* Hazel, My Three Sons, Daniel Boone. The plots and the characters were generally the same as they had always been. I did like Ed Ames' voice and his unintentionally misplaced tomahawk throw on The Tonight Show (which I ALWAYS watched).
That leaves the show in this video that I always watched - Dr. Kildare. Yep, serious crush time. He was God's gift to women - smart, humble, able to fix what ails you, and devastatingly handsome but never would stray. But I did notice that the women in Dr. Kildare's life began to suffer from the "Bonanza Women's Syndrome" - they died; forgot they were still married to someone who had disappeared on a long sea voyage but then returned; decided to become a nun or went back to the convent, etc. And, I eventuallly noticed that Richard Chamberlain in real life never found the right girl.
So, I bid adieu to the doc at the series end and found another crush - The Wild, Wild West's James West whose only positive characteristic was that he was devastatingly good looking.

RR, I agree with you about Donna Reed. It seemed that the older she got, the more attractive she became. When she was on “Dallas”, I thought that she was positively gorgeous.
it is currently 9:05 PM Friday June 24th 2022, 57 years ago this very moment Bewitched was playing on ABC and Once more with feeling was on CBS
Had a major crush on Donna Reed since From Here to Eternity
Hell yes Jonny QUEST! Amazing adventures with HUMAN villains and good guys wielding GUNS! No PC here just raw fun adventure and danger! And it gave rise to what....The Venture Brothers! Another series entirely unconcerned with people's feelings. God.... the old days, I miss them!
Jonny Quest had to be THE coolest cartoon show of 1965.
Whitney Blake of Hazel was of course the mother of Meredith Baxter (Family Times and Lifetime Movie fan favorite) and the creator of One Day at a Time which was inspired by her relationship with her daughter
I was 7 years old in 1965, and I knew when Peyton Place came on I better damn sight be in bed. Plus, I wasn't allowed to watch anything that 'racy',lol.Johnny Quest was a favorite for me!

Trivia Question: What was "Race" Bannon's actual first name?
Roger
Bannon
@@jaydouglas5847 Correct!
Roger. And Hoyt Curtin did that because the musicians had kidded him about the "simple" music he was writing for the show.
Johnny quest my favorite
Jonny Quest has an awesome theme.
I wonder if I could send email with a Singer typewriter 😆 no I had forgotten about Singer manufacturing typewriters.

The prime time of life: December 3rd 1968 (Elvis comeback special)
We have neighbors living just two doors to the west. 'Tis a young chap and his bride and their 3 chillins. They've been living there 13 years and are indeed "good neighbors," just blue-collar working folks doing the best they can in a world gone mad. I learned just a few months while talking to "Elizabeth" one day as she was waiting for the school bus to arrive with their youngest son that she has always preferred to be called "Peyton".
And yes, that's because her mom had loved watching..."Peyton Place".
The animation for Johnny Quest seemed so realistic at that time. Compare it to Clutch Cargo.
Not a fair comparison. Clutch Cargo was terrible, plus those "lips" were distracting. For an action cartoon, Jonny Quest was state-of-the-art for mid-1960s TV.
@@elc1960 The comparison was meant to say Johnny Quest was so much better.
@@schallrd1 I understood your remark. My remark was to illustrate why Clutch Cargo wasn't in Jonny Quest's class. Clutch was bottom of the barrel.
Quest was the COOLEST
You always post great content. But you have cost me some hours searching out clips and episodes of some of these shows we grew up with. Things have changed so much TV isn't as fun as it used to be.
I hope you feel those hours weren't wasted, Randy.
@@FredFlix Not wasted at all once found some of those shows were awesome to see again
Both Bewitched and Hazel had two car companies as regular sponsors Chevrolet for Bewitched Ford for Hazel
And Bobby Buntrock had a mini Thunderbird.
