Jonny Quest - The Complete First Season

What can I say, it's Jonny Quest. I am so glad that my boys, ages 4 and 7, are enjoying it so that I have an excuse to watch. Not that I really need an excuse because everyone who grew up with Jonny Quest loves it. The quality of the DVD is excellent and the memories are priceless. Who can argue with rocket belts, video communicators, bazookas, a Pteranodon, hydofoils, VTOL aircraft, an invisible monster, etc.

I LOVE IT!

Few animated shows provide the entertainment and artistic beauty of those from the 1960s. "Jonny Quest" is a visual treat, a wonderful example of what we have lost as technology has advanced. This multi-disk set is a must for all animation buffs!

Brought back lots of wonderful memories and was able to
introduce it to my 8 yr. old son who absolutly loves it!
Design of the jacket was beautiful also.

If you grew up in the 1960's you probably remember Johnny Quest. Before Star Trek, it gave us a real taste of science fiction. It was the video child of young men's adventure novels (anyone remember Tom Swift?), and it did it's job very well. So of course network TV killed it after only one season. Then they picked it's bones for years in badly edited Saturday morning reruns. So watch this classic and see the birth of modern animation.

This series is amazing. I realize now why I only remember seeing the same half dozen JQ episodes as a kid. The majority of the episodes are so overtly wrong on many levels in terms of social awareness. So it all makes sense now why the TV watchdogs didn't allow many of these shows to be aired in the late 70s and early 80s when the reruns were viable. This fact makes the series so enjoyable! I busted my gut laughing at many of the sincere (maybe not?) points of logic made during the shows. "Jonny, some bombs are good." another: "Crocodiles! Everybody grab a gun!" Jonny and father empty cartridge after cartridge of bullets into the attacking crocs! Even though it is truly a testament to American interest in promoting multiculturalism (see Hadji) the show is actually quite good at promoting stereotypes and displaying American naiveness in the 60s. Probably, people in certain midwest communities won't understand what I'm referring to but it is simply a great time watching these episodes and picking up on the mentality of that age. Jonny Quest rules.
