Classic Jonny Quest

When I was a kid, there was a cartoon that I never missed: Jonny Quest. That kid, accompanied by his dog Bandit and dad Benton Quest, as well as Race Bannon and adopted brother Hadji, could get into some SERIOUS messes!

Today's FamilyFirst site celebrates the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon that originally aired for just a single season, but lived on for a long time afterward, its mere 26 episodes repeated endlessly.

That didn't bother seven-year old kids a bit. We watched episodes we'd already seen countless times before as if they were new. Here's the site's mission:

Want to learn more about arguably one of the most popular animated series ever? You've come to the right place! Here we have collected in a single place everything we've discovered about classic Jonny Quest, that 1964 prime-time animated adventure series that's still being enjoyed by many fans today! Want a quick overview or have some particular question you'd like answered? Check out the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) list. Looking for a synopsis of the episodes, along with some trivia and details? Check the Episode Guide and the Episode Tech Info. It's all here: Character bios, info on the origins of the show and characters, a glimpse into what else was on TV at the time, and more!

Where do you start? Perhaps the FAQ is best. Learn about the premise of Jonny Quest, a "realistic" cartoon. Learn why a "realistic" cartoon featured a dog that was roughly as intelligent as the humans and whose features were highly exaggerated!

Check out the art, too. I got a kick out of layouts for a P. F. Flyers commercial, complete with that ultra-cool decoder ring! Wow, the memories are flooding back now . . .

The fan-submitted art is fascinating, too, from pencil sketches to 3D computer-generated art.

Jonny Quest was one cool dude. Enjoy this site, fans!
