Viewers were transported to exotic locales as Jonny's dad Dr. Benton Quest tackled each new government assignment, aided by ex-agent "Race" Bannon, the Indian boy Hadji, family bulldog Bandit...and of course, his fearless 11-year-old son Jonny (voiced by actor Tim Matheson). Now all 26 classic episodes from Year One charting the fantastic exploits of brave and brainy Jonathan Quest are available for the first time ever, digitally re-mastered on DVD in a deluxe four-disc collectors set, featuring over 11 hours of classic original TV programming and newly-added enhanced content. | | | Product Details: | | | Actors:

 Political Correctness is killing this countryAug 25, 2010
I just purchased Jonny Quest and couldn't believe the editing hack job. With all that is on TV today to be worried about I couldn't believe the PC job that the editers felt compelled to do on this series. This series is probably being viewed by the Baby Boomers that are doing the purchasing. For Heavens sake if you must, put an R rating on it and release the original unedited versions. Would you put clothes on the ancient nude statues? Art is art, stop with the PC already.

 Outstanding CollectionMay 31, 2010
For any of you who grew up with the Quest's in prime time this is a must have collection. The quality of the DVD's is great, and this one collection contains all of the best episodes so you don't have to keep looking for future collections to come out. After purchasing mine I also purchased one for a friend and he is delighted with it as well. The amount of time and effort that went into the art work on this series is amazing considering what else was out at the time. The first episode is the origninal that explains who Dr. Benton Quest and Race Bannon are, and how they got to Palm Key. Great fun to be with the Johnny, Bandit, and Haji again on their many adventures. I highly recommend this product.
Just as I remembered ...May 10, 2010
As a child, I used to watch Jonny Quest every Saturday morning. I now share that same experience with my own kids.
 jq-most eps better than others...Mar 31, 2010
or 4.5 stars or 5?...nothins perfect but this is the best cartoon eternally due to its like realism via its stories, continuity, vid/audio q, characters, acting, devices and fx...-anyting more? only ep i realize to date that was bad was only due to dvd trnsfer where "pursuit of po ho" ep has race's words shortened and replaced by dumb short overdub-wasted lousy effort and y? (no time left to say more here that i can) but i like some eps better than others in this set-season one-no this is the complete collection of its time, i didnt like seeing the remake, what, in the 80's? cuz it wasnt as good as the past thats here to stay on disc for worth buyin as long as the price is right.

Adventures around the worldMar 30, 2010
Having made a name for itself with The Flintstones - The Complete First Season, The Yogi Bear Show - The Complete Series, Top Cat - The Complete Series, and The Jetsons - The Complete First Season, Hanna-Barbera Productions in 1964 ventured into serious adventure with these adventures of 11-year-old Jonny Quest (voiced by Tim Matheson), his father Dr. Benton Quest (John Stephenson), his Hindu friend Hadji (Danny Bravo), his bull-pup Bandit, and his tutor-bodyguard Race Bannon (Mike Road), a former intelligence agent, pilot, martial-arts expert and crack shot. Since the death of his mother Jonny has become a possible pawn in enemy schemes to manipulate his brilliant scientist father, so he's being homeschooled at Quest's lab on Palm Key and travelling with him when he's called to help the Government or friendly countries in locations ranging from the Canadian North Woods to Southeast Asia and from Norway to Nepal.
The animation in this series falls well short of Disney quality but is still an improvement on that of HB's comic serials, and while Jonny is sometimes impulsive, he also has, as Race says, "a good head on his shoulders" and several times saves the day by coolness, courage, and quick thinking. There are a few glitches in continuity that I find mildly irritating: Hadji first appears in Episode #2 ("Arctic Splashdown"), but his background isn't revealed till #7 ("Calcutta Adventure"); Dr. Quest's nemesis, Dr. Zin (Vic Perrin), appears in four segments, but it's never explained where he and the Quests first butted heads; the Eurasian adventuress Jade (Cathy Lewis) has two appearances but her history is never revealed, and one foe, Gen. Fong, appears in "The Quetong Missile Mystery" and is recognized by Race and the Quests, but we never find out how they know him. Despite its high-tech ambience, there are some instances of very faulty science (wrecks in the Sargasso Sea in Episode #1, "Mystery of the Lizard Men;" a pygmy tribe in the Brazilian jungles in #14, "Dragons of Ashida;" a Gila monster in Maya country and an aggressive attack by vampire bats in #6, "Treasure of the Temple;" a reference by Dr. Quest (who should certainly know better!) to dolphins as fish), as well as a storyline featuring Muslim Arabs fearing the wrath of an ancient Egyptian god in #3, "The Curse of Anubis" (not that they don't have reason to, as it turns out). But there's also a lot of intriguing stuff going on--Jonny and his team encounter, among other things, a living pteranodon trained by a human, a walking mummy, the Abominable Snowman, and what appears to be genuine magic (Hadji can perform the Indian rope trick under an open sky and do levitation). And there's also surprisingly little chauvinism for a series that aired originally in the mid-'60's, long before the invention of Political Correctness. With hovercraft, jet-packs, and futuristic weaponry, yet surprisingly little fatal violence, it should appeal to Baby Boomers and their kids and grandkids alike.
