I used to pretend that my Mexican friend was Hadji and i was Jonny. My friend would say SEEM SEEM SALABEEM, only with a real thick accent. I loved growing up in the 90's! Cartoon Network and Hanna Barbera were staples of my childhood!!! Ah, the memories!
Good question on the episode at 1:50, as that was actually the pilot of another projected series featuring Jack Armstrong before the show was morphed into Jonny Quest....look closely at the two men in the hover craft and you'll notice they do not resemble any of the Quest main characters....the red head is actually Jack Armstrong and his co-hort.
@fcatf6 The pteradactyl with THAT GAPING MAW! and THAT EYE! comin' at the camera put the Fear Of God in my heart.
As for the Signature Tune by Hoyt Curtin, IMO, it rivals...even surpasses anything that Lalo Schifrin, Jerry Goldsmith, Elmer Bernstein, et al. made for live-action telly.
The "real" adventures that came out in the 90s were the most PC garbage anyone ever tried to subject a kid to. The "real" Jonny Quest first aired in 1964, and it was magnificent!!
@65kowalski Personally, I liked the Real Adventures of Jonny Quest...of course I'll always prefer the original series and still a favorite. I liked the storylines they had in the Real series, and that's what drew me into it, not the computer junk. At least I can say this...it was better (imo) than The New Adventures of Jonny Quest from the 80s.
This makes "The real adventures" and every other incarnation look like a miserable peace of garbage
I mean, do you realize how violent are the original 1964 26 original episodes? Here we had people dying every week, blowing up, gangsters shooting their minions, "KILL TURU, KILL!" But that's the amazing part of the show: the action. And of course Race Bannon; they shouldn't have cut out his badass lines for the DVDs
JONNY QUEST & HIS TEAM RETURNING ON SEASON 2 OF SCOOBY-DOO IN 2012! YEAH!
It's the unfortunate rule that every classic work spawns dozens of cheap imitations and sequels.
Seriously, kids saw people get killed in every other TV show; heck "The Rifleman" showed Chuck Connors kill 7 people in about 5 seconds during the title, so an action-cartoon is no biggie.
But today's violent cartoons are just implausibly non-lethal; like someone will fall out of an airplane, fall 200 feet and land in a TREE unharmed etc.
Ground breaking! I am 46, and remember how "cool" this was and still is. Also being raised in a household of musicians and artists, it was often pointed out that the show's theme music was way ahead of it's time. I mean there is a ragin' horn section!
That's Race's job, to keep Jonny from getting kidnapped so that Dr. Quest wouldn't be subject to blackmail for his secrets. Since Jonny's mother died, he couldn't stay home while Dr. Quest travelled anymore, that's why he has to tag along on such dangerous adventures.
They explained that in the first episode, when Dr. Quest was still flying commercial airlines; then he built the Questor One jet.
No, he met Hadji, the orphaned Seventh Son of a Seventh Son of a Hindu guru, who had rare powers of perception and many mystical skills. Dr. Quest adopted him for saving his life, so he's Jonny's step-brother. (Can't believe I know that, either)
This appears to be the intro sourced from the 1996 VHS tapes, since it combines the "A HANNA-BARBERA PRODUCTION" from version 1 of the intro, but it lacks the "Starring" above Jonny Quest's screen credit (from version 2).
@27jengirl It's been available on DVD for some time, Dearie, so smile and check Amazon. There is one little edit in the DVD set; when Race springs out of the water to menace the Pohos, he originally called them "heathen monkeys." Alas, even this wonderfully politically incorrect show ran afoul of today's politically incorrect censors.
Ok, that's it; I knew he said "heathen" and "savages."
I don't even see the point though; they already implied that the Po-Ho's didn't speak English, since only Dr. Quest and the professor spoke the Po-Ho language, which is what Dr. Quest used to speak to them as "Airio" the air-god. Race didn't.
But then the Po-Ho chief said that they shouldn't listen to "Akizio" (Race) because their own god was supreme... doesn't make sense, if they couldn't understand him!
@mrallanj205 And it was on in prime time! Back in the 60's, 7:30 pm, not 8:00 pm, was the beginning of prime time. I think THE FLINTSTONES was the 1st cartoon in prime time.
