Adults of the 1960s had James Bond and James West - and, their children had Jonny Quest! :)
I wasn't old enough to see "Jonny Quest" in the 1960s...but, I caught-up with him in the 1970s when re-runs were aired. This is truly a magnificent cartoon for kids who seek excitement!
"Jonny Quest" is not only exciting; it has great stories; exotic settings; interesting creatures and monsters; and, clever villains! I'm betting that most every little boy who watched and loved "Jonny Quest" has since graduated to watching and loving "James Bond" and "James West," as I did.
This is 'exactly' the kind of thrilling 'boys' cartoon that should have had a run of many years; but, it only lasted 'one!?!?' I don't get it!?!? Even on IMDb, it has scored 8.0; so...someone other than me must have loved this cartoon as a boy!?!?
This is the kind of cartoon that gets little boys (monkey-see, monkey-do) to go out into the forest and seek-out bugs; amphibians; reptiles; and, other animals and interesting creatures. It gets boys to climb trees; go hiking; swimming; snorkeling; scuba diving; water skiing; and, other exciting and 'active' activities. It gets boys to rent a row boat and cruise the nearby lake; or, rent a canoe and go down the nearby river. This cartoon gets boys to do anything other than sit around the house 'gaming' on a computer with a dozen Dunkin' Donuts, a box of Twinkies, and, a 3-Litre bottle of soda!?!?
This cartoon also rids a little boy of the 2nd and 4th 'Deadly Sins' - Gluttony and Sloth!
Maybe boys (people in general) nowadays feel threatened by Jonny Quest because he'd never advocate sitting around the house on a nice day, all day, in front of a computer when you could be out doing something 'active' when the cartoon's over!?!?
Dunno! But, cancelling this show after such a short run, like cancelling "Star Trek" TOS...was a blunder!
