Paul,

For my money, it was the best cartoon Hanna Barbera ever made. It was only on for one season, because animation was done by hand back in the 1960's, so the level of realism employed to make Johnny Quest was prohibitively expensive. It was an action/adventure series, with some great aircraft depicted, from a Sopwith Camel and Fokker DR1 in an episode about an evil WWI ace, to a DeHaviland Tiger Moth in an episode about them discovering cavemen on top of a mountain in Africa. My favorite episode, Turu the Terrible, has them on the "Amazon Queen" (a steamboat copied from the African Queen of Bogart/Hepburn fame) when they are attacked by a pterodactyl that somehow survived from dinosaur times and became the pet of a mad scientist confined to a wheelchair. I think you would definitely enjoy catching an episode or two.

Many thanks for the information Louis . I will definitely have a look now it's sounds absolutely fantastic and bonkers at the same time. Just my sort of thing. Paul

I don't remember seeing it as a kid in the sixties either Paul, back then of course, I would of only have seen it in B&W anyway !

But do remember seeing it a couple of times when roped into looking after nephew and nieces Years ago.

One of my favourite cartoons as a kid was Marine Boy, which was dubbed into English from Japanese.

One of the scariest, kids tv programmes I remember seeing as a kid was an imported East German kids series, The Singing Ringing Tree, which had this creepy dwarf in it !

Thanks also Steve. They sound like very interesting things to watch aswell. Paul

Jonny Quest is also my favorite cartoon. Lots of action. I should have bought the DVD with all the episodes from Costco years ago.

I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I'm hoping it'll be as enjoyable today as when I was a kid. Trying to recapture my youth, like collecting toy soldiers.

I was having some bourbon yesterday and recalled wanting to name my son Race, but I ended up having three daughters. So I told my youngest daughter if she'd like to have the nickname Scout from To Kill a Mocking Bird, but she said no, so it didn't stick. We'd tease her, Erin barbarian.
