Yo!!! I'm 63 yes. Old.. Jonny Quest was and still is my all time favorite cartoon... The animation to me was superb.... Thumbs up to Hanna Barbera.....
I'm 66, and I still think the original JONNY QUEST was the rockinest kid's show ever! Some today say it's racist, non-PC; as a black kid in the Sixties, a black man in the Twenty-twenties, I say, "BITE ME, SNOWFLAKE!"
I’m 62 and agree 100% I’ve always told my wife and kids that was the best cartoon ever period ..!! So I bought all the Jonny Quest series on 8- track I believe and they agree ..!! Todays cartoons can’t even hold a candle to cartoons back then .. like the crappy so called “music” of today ..😡 we’ve gone backwards in so many areas ..
Ain't far behind you. I'm 61 and still watch all the Saturday mornings adventure series: JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH, JONNY QUEST, STAR TREK THE ANIMATED SERIES & THUNDARR THE BARBARIAN. However I can't find JQ or Thundarr on DVD or Blu-ray anywhere.
By far, one of my most favorite Saturday mornings cartoons. I’m 61 and still enjoy these cartoons. A cartoon made for kids that an adult could and can watch. Awesome.
@@richspinaci8293I've said it before , and I will say it "again " Johnny Quest was one action packed , Bad ass cartoon !!!! It was truly ahead of its time !!!!!
@@caronstout354 I agree wholeheartedly with you !!!! This animated series was ahead of it's time . I'm just sorry that it lasted for only one season . Also the background music was top notch . And the theme song was H.I.P. Can you dig it ? ! 😊 .
Old enough to have watched it the first time. This is a great retrospective! Nice work. As a kid, two of these episodes haunted me...the spider/camera/8 ball thing and the creepy invisible monster that they had to drop paint bombs on to see. The noise that thing made was leg-wetting. Our live action shows should be half this good. And they're not.
it was always a depressing background to me. always cloudy, night time. in a dark ass swamp area. lol I never understood it. was there ever a sunny day on this cartoon?
@@johndough6793 It set the mood for danger and suspense...kind of like a Dracula story--it wouldn't make sense if it was set in a pristine, happy sunshine.
I've loved Jonny quest cartoons since I was a little girl. I finally found the DVD collection. It should be here by the weekend. Can't wait until then. I couldn't get into the new Jonny Quest joint. I'm so old school.
As another here observed, I hear they are pretty edited to rid them of ‘objectionable’ material. C’est la vie. Thinking of getting season 1 on blu ray, anyway 😃
In the show the show the Venture Bros. You can see how an adult Jonny Quest has intense ptsd and how the lifestyle of boy adventurers depicted in Jonny Quest has a bunch of negative impacts on the adult lives of the boys who grew up in these circumstances.
*Uncut* That’s the way to go. Guns. Smoking cigarettes. Smoking babes. Smoking jazz music. Death. No fear. Loyalty, no matter what. Bedtime prayers. Never saw that last in any kids cartoon. I am easy on the subject, but it shows how independent the makers were. And all age appropriate! This is art. This post about this kick-ass show is already too long, but I have to add this: Turu. When they go hunt Turu to help the locals - well, as one poster said, “When you strap on jet packs, load up bazookas, and fly off to fight a pterodactyl, there is just no more ass to kick.”
Thats because people weren't as sensitive in 1964 as politically correct cartoons have to be here in 2016 not to mention much longer. You put a gun or a army guy in a cartoon now you get your ear chewed off for the show being "To violent" Being someone born in the late 90s i have to say this was probably my favorite show when i was a little kid. They used to air it on boomerang and i just loved the episode with the robot eye. Cartoons today just feel lazy today in my opinion the animation styles are becoming more cheap and simplistic and only run 11 minutes whereas a Jonny Quest episode ran like 30? I mean look it the effort they put into THIS show! Its inexcusable we let things get this way. But as they say "All good things have to come to an end" i suppose.
This was Done When it was Good to be a Boy The Cartoon was Made for young Men Who would Grow to be Men in a Time when It was expected for Men to be Something other than a Bad Female.
I was around 5 when this series first aired. (I do own the DVD set now). The "Robot Spy" was the first episode I ever saw and from that moment, it was my favorite cartoon - period! Its amazing how much of the futuristic tech shown in the series has come true now - examples: VTOL aircraft, hand-held two-way video communication, laser weapons, computers, etc. Here's another example of how they did things right: even the rifles sound like rifles, and handguns sound like handguns - small technical point, but they did things right. GREAT show!!!
You might note, the idealized villain was an Asian man. Of the varied sort, one "Doctor Howard Zin" was always the enemy. (Designed and built the Z lift spider, and transport). This held true in 1964. Please try to remember Vietnam, Korea, Japan. Try to shoot asian people in this day and age and be exhalted as a "hero"! You could say it was what "Donald Trump" wanted you to do! - How virtually disgusting!
61 years old…and I remember sneaking in the house Saturday at 10:00 am from my chores to try and get as much view time of JQ as possible until my folks caught me and drug me back outside. This show was very inspirational to me, Race Bannon was a role model.
I had to mow the lawn every Saturday but my folks let me stop and watch Jonny Quest. Then I would go back to mowing lawn and replay the show in my head. Great action show with a wonderful amount of violence! And the good guys always won! Loved it!
That was what made it such a great show: great animation, great scripts, great music. I don't think the genre matters all that much; excellence is always fun to watch.
At 65 I've kept that music, particularly the theme song, inside me all my life. I have vertigo/fear of heights and that theme song got me through A LOT of parachute jumps and other challenges in the military.
This is great stuff! Loved the show in 1964 and still do. The action, the main characters, the story lines, the music- it all combined to make a spectacular series that remains awesome over 50 years later!
63 yrs old and made sure I bought the DVD collection of the best action cartoon every! The writers had great imagination and creativity behind every episode!
My god, people on Johnny Quest were killed in all sorts of ways. Shot, eaten, clawed, hit in the head with a large rock, being thrown off a cliff, through a window, and the list goes on. Greatest cartoon ever. I remember watching this in the 60s as a little kid and loving it.
I never saw it as overly violent. A lot more people died when I played D&D with my friends, or early videogames in the 80s...or one episode of the A-Team.
I was born in the 80s. I was 5 or 6 and we first got cable after we moved houses. There was a cable channel that had this in re-runs early on Saturday and Sunday morning. My mom and dad would watch this with me, they both loved it saying it was really exciting for it's time. It was the first time I watched something they saw when they were young. Then, one Saturday, my dad had to work a weekend shift and my mom was still asleep. I woke up and came down to watch Johnny Quest...it was the Mummy episode (Curse of Anubis)...it scared the crap out of me for a week or so. I always remember that when I see it. One day, I want to see this show with my kids.
I grew up on this show. It was the best cartoon on TV for years, I even paid for Boomerang so I could watch it on my phone. Hadji is more a title than a name, it means the person has been to Mecca. I learned that in the World Book Encyclopedia. Thank you for taking me back to my childhood.
I'm 67 and i remember we were going someplace on Sat. morning and i could not get out of it.I worried about not getting home in time to watch Jonny Quest.We got home and i went running into the house and turned on the tv to watch the closing scene where they throw the spears and they go ding ding ding.I never got over it and i never will.
I remember when I was a young boy, probably 5 -7 years old, watching several episodes at my grandparents house and being glued to the television. The episodes that stuck in my head are the one with the giant spider and the electrical ghost/monster. Even today listening to the opening and closing theme of the show sends chills of excitement up and down my body - I am 57 and can still humm it. For me what was most incredible was when I was given a puppy who looked just like bandit; his name was Stevie and his size and colouring were exacting the same.
That was great!! Still an amazing show after almost 50 years! Your editing on this video is superb! I remember watching it when it first appeared on TV in fall 1964. I was 7 years old. The music made for the show is fantastic! Why can't more shows be as fun and exciting as Jonny Quest?
Excellent editing here! I don't know what you used to strip the original score segments out to overlay the uncut soundtracks, but it turned out great! As is 'Jonny Quest', your tribute documentary about the show's history is fantastic! Hard to believe that it was 50-years ago that Hanna-Barbera studios in Hollywood was in full production of this show, AND with its Sept. 1964 broadcast premiere on ABC-TV just months away... what they pulled off was the impossible. It was the perfect blend of some of the finest animation, stories and music ever penned. It's certainly my all time favorite! Thank YOU for your video too! Seems like the perfect gift on this 50th Anniversary.
Yes INDEED, the series debut in 1964 along with The Man From U.N.C.L.E. w/ late great Robert Vaughn and David McCallum The Original Version from the 60's are THE BEST! The NEW Version from the 80's and the REAL Version from the 90's can't hold a candle to this decade The 60's had MORE ACTION PACKED and EXTREME VIOLENCE and it's no wonder why this was Hanna-Barbera's Favorite Cartoons of all time The Original Jonny Quest and The Very 1st Season of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. which was The Black & White Era will ALWAYS be THE BEST and now, both shows are in the hands of Warner Bros. Television via Turner Broadcasting
Jonny Quest, Herculoids, Space Ghost, and Scooby-Doo--my childhood's complete fill of the genres of action, suspense, fantasy, sci-fi, mystery and comedy. Hanna-Barbera was the best back then.
Favorite cartoon hell it was my favorite show. As a kid I was glued to the set in the early sixties. Johnny Quest and the 8th man were my favorites. I highly recommend the Johnny Quest three-part documentary on TH-cam.
Actually after about 1965 american cartoons got heavily censored. From the mid 60s to the early 90s the kind of violence seen in Jonny Quest especially with realistic firearms killing people was pretty much nonexistent with a couple of exceptions.
They don't make them like that anymore, the 60s had the best action cartoon shows ever made thank you H B rest in peace you two were the best in the business. 📽📽📽📽📽📽🎼🎼🎼🎼
Today's cartoons are pure sissy crap compared to this. My brothers and I watched Jonny Quest every Saturday when we were small. I never knew how violent it was, I'm 62 now and a totally calm peaceful adult. I miss real cartoons such as this.
When the soldier said "what tha" right before the spider robot zapped him on the forehead, a bad word was implied, but in a 60's kids animation, that wouldn't be cricket.
monster fan. Kids in our era missed it. Not a common word at all for us. However this show was prime time in first run and intended for adults to watch with their families. They probably got it. Least the Dads did.
There was a "Fsss...ahhhhhhhh" in the voice over, the face was drawn in a strong word about to come out. If you prefer to think the animators and voice actor meant Fudge then great, go with it. Isn't the first time. Clara Bow clearly dropped an F bomb on screen in a 20s silent movie. The editors left it in assuming nice people wouldn't notice. They were right, until the 70s when we were drowning in the word.
JQ didn't "dumb it down" for kids - and nobody went out and took a gun to their job or classroom. PS The Invisible Monster scared the #$@^*&% out of me when I was 5!
I grew up reading comic strips like Steve Canyon and Terry and The Pirates. I also read the comic book series, "Star-Spangled War Stories." When Jonny Quest came along, I was pleasantly stunned! Thank you, Hanna-Barbera!
I never missed the show as a kid can you imagine somebody doing something like this today it would stay on the air about 3 seconds my favorite episode was the one with the yeti
This just popped into my "feed" and I was blown away by it because it brought back the memories. What a Terrific mash up of my favorite cartoon's greatest action scenes!! Action was indeed the word for this cartoon series, many thanks for compiling this!
I'm seventy and remember when Johnny Quest first came on Saturday mornings. It soon became one of My favorites.Nothing back then could touch it's animation and action. Good times.
Just discovered this gem right here. I'm 45 at the time of this post and I grew up watching these cartoons as a kid and this video totally does it justice. Done in a time when you didn't have to be politically correct, when right was right and wrong was wrong. Well done mate and thank you for the memories
everything a ten your old boy could ask for in TV show in 1964 (used to especially enjoy the explosions, when debris would just keep drifting and drifting down into the sea . . . .)
Thanks for the trip back to my youth,! And Saturday mornings, ! Jonny Quest debuted on I believe on Tuesdays at 7pm! Just like the Flintstones. Flintstones with cigarette ads. Fred smoking. We weren't as brain watched as kids now...
loved this show so much. It was like taking a trip to exotic locations every week for a bored kid in suburban Atlanta, that was pretty cool. I wonder if Steven Spielberg saw this show when he was young, because it reminds me so much of Raiders of the lost Ark.
I named my huskie-shepard mix Bandit in tribute to Jonny Quest. I miss him. It is with great pleasure to see, those who loved the show as much as I did. The 60's were the golden age for Saturday morning cartoons.
Yo!!! I'm 63 yes. Old.. Jonny Quest was and still is my all time favorite cartoon... The animation to me was superb.... Thumbs up to Hanna Barbera.....

Right on my brutha 😁
Ain't far behind you. I'm 61 and still watch all the Saturday mornings adventure series:
JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH, JONNY QUEST, STAR TREK THE ANIMATED SERIES & THUNDARR THE BARBARIAN.
However I can't find JQ or Thundarr on DVD or Blu-ray anywhere.
As do I
One of the best animated series I ever saw. Race Bannon was a bad ass.
He was a badass long before we knew what a badass was.
Modeled after actor Jeff Chandler.
Yeah...the moral of just about every Jonny Quest story is "don't fuck with Race Bannon".
@@captainmidnight3522 pretty much. Seems like he may have hsd Navy Seal training.
My pre-teen self crushed on Race Bannon. Got to love an Alpha male. He’s still pretty darn awesome. Yeah, he would’ve been a Seal.

The Invisible Electricity Monster terrified me -- best episode of all
Yep. I’ve got a tshirt with that thing.
Before they paint bombed it, it was every monster we imagined in the dark.
As a kid, I was frightened enough to say “Leave Bandit behind!”
Reminds me of that invisible monster in Forbidden Planet

@@manofsan it's supposed to.
I’m 67 years old and I’ve watched every Johnny Quest episode many times and know them by heart. I would sit down and watch them now
The best cartoon of that era. 50 years old and still love 💕 it
Old enough to have watched it the first time. This is a great retrospective! Nice work.

Same here. Nightmare Fuel.
I had nightmares for years watching that invisible monster!
That one and the Komodo dragons were two of my favorites.
Some guy made a real full size one out of oilfield drill pipe Saw the video of it walking and was stunned. Been trying ever since to find it again
Off The Charts creativity, imagination, animation and Music score.🎵🎼🎶
One if the greatest action packed cartoons ever!
no other cartoon even comes close it was the greatest
For it's genre, absolutely! However, I admit a fondness for Wile E. Coyote and Foghorn Leghorn (rooster).
You said igt.
YES 😀
it was always a depressing background to me. always cloudy, night time. in a dark ass swamp area. lol I never understood it. was there ever a sunny day on this cartoon?
@@johndough6793 It set the mood for danger and suspense...kind of like a Dracula story--it wouldn't make sense if it was set in a pristine, happy sunshine.
Greatest cartoon ever. Without Johnny Quest there would be no Venture Brothers. The Greatest cartoon ever.
Almost 62 and will say this is the best cartoon of all time
I've loved Jonny quest cartoons since I was a little girl. I finally found the DVD collection. It should be here by the weekend. Can't wait until then. I couldn't get into the new Jonny Quest joint. I'm so old school.

They are probably censored.
As another here observed, I hear they are pretty edited to rid them of ‘objectionable’ material. C’est la vie. Thinking of getting season 1 on blu ray, anyway 😃
I have them brings back memories of my childhood watching them every day after school
Man I forgot how violent this show was. The best of time.
It was the most truly American cartoon ever made. As completely unapologetic as Rudyard Kipling to the British Empire.
In the show the show the Venture Bros. You can see how an adult Jonny Quest has intense ptsd and how the lifestyle of boy adventurers depicted in Jonny Quest has a bunch of negative impacts on the adult lives of the boys who grew up in these circumstances.
Quest & CO , did put some munitions down range and delivered a few hard knocks .
I think it was the only one I remember actually seeing people die.
@@TH-rn2lx The body count was pretty high but we didn't care.
It would be awesome if Netflix started airing the UNCUT original episodes. I was 9 when they first aired and have loved them for the last 50 years!

+TheBookWorm1718 thats why were still where we are today. if ya can't laugh together, well, ya'll get the rest

Guns.
Smoking cigarettes.
Smoking babes.
Smoking jazz music.
Death.
No fear.
Loyalty, no matter what.
Bedtime prayers.
Never saw that last in any kids cartoon. I am easy on the subject, but it shows how independent the makers were. And all age appropriate! This is art.
This post about this kick-ass show is already too long, but I have to add this:
Turu.
When they go hunt Turu to help the locals - well, as one poster said,
“When you strap on jet packs, load up bazookas, and fly off to fight a pterodactyl,
there is just no more ass to kick.”
Johnny quest was ahead of its time for cartoons so many memories ☺️
The 1964 series had characters who were actually killed by impacts, falls, gunshots wild animal attacks, and military ordinances
Thats because people weren't as sensitive in 1964 as politically correct cartoons have to be here in 2016 not to mention much longer.

@@MrRaulstrnad Yes he was. He always hit his target.

That was what made it such a great show: great animation, great scripts, great music. I don't think the genre matters all that much; excellence is always fun to watch.
At 65 I've kept that music, particularly the theme song, inside me all my life.
I have vertigo/fear of heights and that theme song got me through A LOT of parachute jumps and other challenges in the military.
I watched this every Saturday faithfully when I a little girl, I loved all the action.
let's face it Jonny might have been a tad young but even in his pre-adolescence he was a pussy magnet
Truly one the best animated shows ever. I'm not old enough have seen the original airings, but saw plenty of reruns growing up.
Imagine someone seeing this with no context. It's like, "Wait, was that a pack of yeti's with catapults and assault rifles?!" :)
Sure was!
@@MrTruckerf It wasnt though. They were people in costumes pretending to be Yetis
This is great stuff! Loved the show in 1964 and still do. The action, the main characters, the story lines, the music- it all combined to make a spectacular series that remains awesome over 50 years later!
I was 7 in fall of 1964.
I loved this show from the first two minutes of episode one!

This show was so Kool that you actually forgot it was a cartoon.
Who remembers sitting in front of the Zenith stuffing your mouth with Wheaties on Saturday morning. .......with out a doubt the best cartoon EVER !!!
Red Pill Freedom not Wheaties, Fruit Loops!!!!!
B & W Admiral and Cheerios!
Those giant Shredded Wheat biscuits and Johnny Quest. Man I loved this show!
Saturday morning cartoons were the BESTEST!! AAAAAND we got bananas in our cereal!! 😀😀
@@fourthgirl watched it on Sunday mornings came after Spider-Man and the fantastic 4.and had captain crunch
Still the best animation in prime time history…this is why a lot of girls in the 60’s and early 70’s wanted to become scientists and bad asses!!!!

This show should be top 10 in Cartoon Hall Of Fame.
You packed so many Childhood cartoon memories into a 9:14 video. Fantastic cartoon and awesome soundtrack. I even have it has my phone's ringtone.

I'm 67 and i remember we were going someplace on Sat. morning and i could not get out of it.I worried about not getting home in time to watch Jonny Quest.We got home and i went running into the house and turned on the tv to watch the closing scene where they throw the spears and they go ding ding ding.I never got over it and i never will.
One of the greatest animated shows.
One of the best TV shows ever, bar none.
I remember when I was a young boy, probably 5 -7 years old, watching several episodes at my grandparents house and being glued to the television. The episodes that stuck in my head are the one with the giant spider and the electrical ghost/monster. Even today listening to the opening and closing theme of the show sends chills of excitement up and down my body - I am 57 and can still humm it. For me what was most incredible was when I was given a puppy who looked just like bandit; his name was Stevie and his size and colouring were exacting the same.
What breed is that? I always wondered.
Me too! Especially the part where the monster almost got Bandit! The animator REALLY showed the fear on Jonny's face! Beautiful work!
My favorite part too! Especially that music! Here at 2:10. And l felt just like Jonny while watching it. I was scared s**tless!
That was great!! Still an amazing show after almost 50 years!
Your editing on this video is superb! I remember watching it
when it first appeared on TV in fall 1964. I was 7 years old.
The music made for the show is fantastic!
Why can't more shows be as fun and exciting as Jonny Quest?
Because we have become a feminized society.
This was really a kick-ass, bad ass cartoon..the music is awesome!
This entire music theme should be good ideas for an alarm clock. Talk about an adrenalin RUSH!!
Hold that thought...
I've had the opening theme as a ringtone.
Legend has it that Race Bannon would go on to be elected Vice President of the United States.
Race Bannon is not a covert bigot like V.P. Spence.
"get a load of Aqusio you heathen MONKEYS!", Race Bannon
Excellent editing here! I don't know what you used to strip the original score segments out to overlay the uncut soundtracks, but it turned out great! As is 'Jonny Quest', your tribute documentary about the show's history is fantastic! Hard to believe that it was 50-years ago that Hanna-Barbera studios in Hollywood was in full production of this show, AND with its Sept. 1964 broadcast premiere on ABC-TV just months away... what they pulled off was the impossible. It was the perfect blend of some of the finest animation, stories and music ever penned. It's certainly my all time favorite! Thank YOU for your video too! Seems like the perfect gift on this 50th Anniversary.
Yes INDEED, the series debut in 1964 along with The Man From U.N.C.L.E. w/ late great Robert Vaughn and David McCallum
The Original Version from the 60's are THE BEST!
The NEW Version from the 80's and the REAL Version from the 90's can't hold a candle to this decade
The 60's had MORE ACTION PACKED and EXTREME VIOLENCE and it's no wonder why this was Hanna-Barbera's Favorite Cartoons of all time
The Original Jonny Quest and The Very 1st Season of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. which was The Black & White Era will ALWAYS be THE BEST and now, both shows are in the hands of Warner Bros. Television via Turner Broadcasting
Jonny Quest, Herculoids, Space Ghost, and Scooby-Doo--my childhood's complete fill of the genres of action, suspense, fantasy, sci-fi, mystery and comedy. Hanna-Barbera was the best back then.
I always loved the music too it was fantastic
Great collection of highlights from the GREATEST cartoon series EVER!!!!!
Hoyt Curtin's music was AWESOME! A shame there isn't a full soundtrack!!!!
La-La Land Records released a 2.5 hour, 2-CD set just last week. $25, limited edition of 3,000.
Hoyt Curtain - father of Saturday Night Live's Jane Curtain.
Don Owens fake news. Her father was John and he sold insurance.
Never a dull moment on that show.
HOYT CUTAIN WAS A BEAST, JOHNNY QUEST HAD THE COOLEST 60s MUSIC 4 A CARTOON EVER
HOYT ALSO WROTE THE MUSIC 4 THE JETSONS THEME SONG WHICH WAS FIRE, MUSICALLY ☺
Now that's ANIMATION! High-grade artistry too. Like Indiana Jones & James Bond in animation! This needs to be revived!
Jonny must have been a role model when Lucas and Spielberg planned Indy
Loved this cartoon growing up!!
Favorite cartoon hell it was my favorite show. As a kid I was glued to the set in the early sixties. Johnny Quest and the 8th man were my favorites. I highly recommend the Johnny Quest three-part documentary on TH-cam.
For a Hanna-Barbera cartoon that aired in the 1960s, it was quite violent for its time. Of course, it's got nothing on what aired later.
Well road runner and coyote....were not peaceful.
Actually after about 1965 american cartoons got heavily censored. From the mid 60s to the early 90s the kind of violence seen in Jonny Quest especially with realistic firearms killing people was pretty much nonexistent with a couple of exceptions.
Wow that was intense! This was a great animated show.
ALL of the exciting parts of every Jonny Quest episode condensed into 9 minutes. lol
They don't make them like that anymore, the 60s had the best action cartoon shows ever made thank you H B rest in peace you two were the best in the business. 📽📽📽📽📽📽🎼🎼🎼🎼
Today's cartoons are pure sissy crap compared to this. My brothers and I watched Jonny Quest every Saturday when we were small. I never knew how violent it was, I'm 62 now and a totally calm peaceful adult. I miss real cartoons such as this.
Much better than most live-action shows these days, including movies.
My favorite cartoon when I was little, born in 1970. LOVED Jonny Quest!
Whenever a girl was a fan, she was always cool, and not drippy. You?
jonny quest is a cartoon that i love and always will love. I FUCKING LOVE IT. the music, everything about it. i still watch it to this day.
J Quest was fashioned after Milton Caniff's action comic strips, thanks for showing all the best sequences. Wish the episodes were available here.
When the soldier said "what tha" right before the spider robot zapped him on the forehead, a bad word was implied, but in a 60's kids animation, that wouldn't be cricket.
monster fan. Kids in our era missed it. Not a common word at all for us. However this show was prime time in first run and intended for adults to watch with their families. They probably got it. Least the Dads did.
How would it imply a bad word? You can use words like "heck" or "devil," or just leave the sentence hanging, none of which use curse words.
There was a "Fsss...ahhhhhhhh" in the voice over, the face was drawn in a strong word about to come out. If you prefer to think the animators and voice actor meant Fudge then great, go with it.
Isn't the first time. Clara Bow clearly dropped an F bomb on screen in a 20s silent movie. The editors left it in assuming nice people wouldn't notice. They were right, until the 70s when we were drowning in the word.
Amazon have all the the old cartoons
JQ didn't "dumb it down" for kids - and nobody went out and took a gun to their job or classroom. PS The Invisible Monster scared the #$@^*&% out of me when I was 5!
ditto!
It STILL gives me the creeps.
Excellent collection of action scenes
Well done !!
I’m 64 and Johnny Quest was my favorite cartoon as a kid. I guess I forgot how violent it was watching this. I was only 5 when first saw it.
Was a great cartoon back in the day, still watch it when it's on..finally bought the box set..
ok boomer
I grew up reading comic strips like Steve Canyon and Terry and The Pirates. I also read the comic book series, "Star-Spangled War Stories." When Jonny Quest came along, I was pleasantly stunned! Thank you, Hanna-Barbera!
I was Made in 1957, Touche'. (smile)

I loved this show, AWESOME!!!!
I never missed the show as a kid can you imagine somebody doing something like this today it would stay on the air about 3 seconds my favorite episode was the one with the yeti
I loved your documentary and this highlight reel is the icing on the cake. Thank you.
The great Doug Wildey and Alex Toth worked on the animation so of course it was great!
I'm 62 remember many scenes but almost all of the music and sound effects 😊 One of my favorites in childhood. So Multi cultural
This just popped into my "feed" and I was blown away by it because it brought back the memories. What a Terrific mash up of my favorite cartoon's greatest action scenes!! Action was indeed the word for this cartoon series, many thanks for compiling this!
This Cartoon WAS The Greatest! So was The Music Composed by Hoyt Curtain!
I'm seventy and remember when Johnny Quest first came on Saturday mornings.
It soon became one of My favorites.Nothing back then could touch it's animation and action. Good times.
It was so cool. Even the guns were realistic...How cool to be in that Family
Best Race Bannon line ever. “This grenade should do the trick” 😅
Loved this show as a child! Im 60 and still love these old cartoons ❤❤❤❤❤
Just discovered this gem right here. I'm 45 at the time of this post and I grew up watching these cartoons as a kid and this video totally does it justice. Done in a time when you didn't have to be politically correct, when right was right and wrong was wrong. Well done mate and thank you for the memories
Yes, 65 years old. Watched this all time!
You talk about a serious cartoon w/a power rush of adventurous music!! RIP--Mike Road.
Loved this show when I was a kid in the 1960's. They threw everything at the wall and everything stuck.
Ah, the good days! This was when American cartoons were worth watching over and over again
Best TV show ever! I miss my childhood
everything a ten your old boy could ask for in TV show in 1964 (used to especially enjoy the explosions, when debris would just keep drifting and drifting down into the sea . . . .)
JOHNNY QUEST WAS ALWAYS
ONE OF MY FAVORITES! SATURDAY
WAS MY FAVORITE DAY OF THE
WEEK WHEN I WAS A KID!
best cartoon ever made JONNY QUEST
Thanks for the trip back to my youth,! And Saturday mornings, ! Jonny Quest debuted on I believe on Tuesdays at 7pm! Just like the Flintstones. Flintstones with cigarette ads. Fred smoking. We weren't as brain watched as kids now...
Love those horns in the background music!!!!
loved this show so much. It was like taking a trip to exotic locations every week for a bored kid in suburban Atlanta, that was pretty cool. I wonder if Steven Spielberg saw this show when he was young, because it reminds me so much of Raiders of the lost Ark.
Finally the electric monster. That is my favorite episode.
I named my huskie-shepard mix Bandit in tribute to Jonny Quest. I miss him. It is with great pleasure to see, those who loved the show as much as I did. The 60's were the golden age for Saturday morning cartoons.
WHEW!!!! That'll get you up in the morning!!!!! Hands down the greatest cartoon series ever!!! That Music!!!!!!
