The 1998 version of Johnny Quest as not the second series, but indeed the third. On the 80ies, Johnny Quest had its second series. I think (if my memory doesn't fail) done by the same people that did cartoons like the Transformers, The Defenders of the Earth and Centurions. The cartoon looked very eighties, and used 80ies colour technics where you can clearly see the difference from the previous (60s/70s) version.
Jessie Bannon did not appear at all in the 1986 revival program. There was a similar character who appeared in one episode of the program. Like Jessie Bannon she was a red-haired girl named Jessie who was about the same age as Jonny and Hadji. She had a different last name and her father was a scientist the Quests were helping rather than Race Bannon. The first appearance of the Jessie Bannon character was in Jonny's Golden Quest.
I don't suppose we could add who voiced Jessie as well? As far as I can tell, it appears to be Jennifer Hale. 202.156.14.10 05:15, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
"most of the villains being of Eastern European or Chinese origin, and meant to depict Communists."
I don't think that this assertion is true. I think that (as in most of the post-Cold War James Bond films) most of the villains were presented as independently-operating megalomaniacs.
Anybody care to provide any support for this? (28 Sept 2005)
5 years before Jonny Quest, Doug Wildey and Alex Toth worked on a animated (well, sort of) adventure series about a white-haired pilot and his little companion and dog called Clutch Cargo. Isn't it possible Clutch Cargo was one of the inspirations for Jonny Quest? Does anyone know if there's any basis to this, or is it just my imagination? Since I've found nothing that specifically mentions Clutch Cargo as an influence on Jonny Quest, I'll have to refrain from putting it in the article-- No original thought/research.

The 50's saw a series of archeology-oriented boys'-adventure books by Fran Striker (of The Lone Ranger), featuring a young hero named "Tom Quest". I am expert enough neither in Tom Quest nor in Jonny Quest to judge whether there is a connection, but there are some similarities, enough to warrant investigation. Even if, upon investigation, there should prove to be no connection, it would be worth saying so. -- John W. Kennedy 18:32, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
There is an episode of Kids in the Hall where Scott tells his parents he wants to become an Indian woman. After discussion, an Indian man appears at the door and Scott greets him as Hadji, and subsequently, Hadji greets him as Johnny.

Also, since TVB uses the actual characters of Jonny, Hadji, and Race, it sets TVB apart from other items of parody or satire.

The article contains two separate—and therefore somewhat redundant—mentions of the 2004 DVD release of the original 26 episodes. One mentions only "some minor editing to remove dialog that might be viewed as culturally or racially insensitive." The other, however, states that they "are edited both in content (to make them more politically correct) and in titles (the original opening and ending titles are not used due to their action[read: violent] content)." If the titles were not used due to their violence, wouldn't the violent story content also be edited? However, at the time of this DVD release there was a media report stating that, in keeping with the reputation of DVD issues, these were not censored at all. Can someone verify the content of these discs, then fix the article? -- Ted Watson ( talk) 21:01, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
UPDATE (same person, too): Customers' reviews at Amazon.com—and there are a large number of them—are similarly split. Some assert nothing more than Race Bannon's "You ignorant savages" lines from "Pursuit of the Po-Ho" are cut, a few others add one line from one other episode, and others say that their set contains the emasculated versions first seen on Saturday morning TV in the mid 70s, later on The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera series with the so-called New Adventures episodes, and finally on Cartoon Network. Many—and there is no consensus among these as to edits or lack thereof—also indicate that the end credits are not action/violence-less, but are all from one episode lacking Doug Wildey's creator credit (alleged to be the motivation). This last is what was seen on Boomerang the last time I had access to that channel. A growing mystery. -- Tbrittreid ( talk) 23:07, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
Does anyone know anything concrete about what is and what isn't edited on the DVD's? I've been wanting to buy these forever and finally found out they sell them and then I checked on here and was so disappointed to find out they're edited.
If it's only a few eps edited, I may still consider buying them but if they're most/all edited, I will not be buying them.
I'm sorry ask on here but there are so few sites that even talk about this issue. Thanks, Vala M ( talk) 01:01, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
If anyone is still interested, check the Jonny Quest TV Series page for a link with more information. In short, though: The "ignorant savages" line is cut, as is Jonny joking "here comes the Oriental Express" just before a bad guy plummets to his death. All the episodes seem to be the original running length. On the second edit: Jonny caused the guy to slide to his death, could have saved him but didn't try, then made a clever remark. Also, the term "Oriental," used at the time to mean "from the East," is now considered offensive. A lot of people assume JQ was edited for content in syndication, but I haven't seen any evidence. When the show was on in the '80s, most of the cuts were the cutesy Bandit bits. About the end credits: Boomerang does the same thing for Flintstones end credits. I think it's a way to cut costs for remastering. ClassicCF ( talk) 19:34, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

Heads up! User:Dogwood123 has created a separate article for Hadji (Jonny Quest), despite the consensus to merge the previous attempt into here. It's thoroughly unsourced, too. Shall we open a new discussion there, or will somebody simply enforce the previous agreement? -- Ted Watson ( talk) 21:24, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
There are several passages in the article that cite one or another part of a "Quest documentary" on Youtube as the source. This production asserts that the original network title for the series was The Adventures of Jonny Quest and it was subsequently "rebranded" for syndication. I have cited three sources that contradict the first part of the assertion, and the fact of the matter is that at least in the United States (and possibly the entire world) it has never borne that longer title. Furthermore, syndication airings have been few and far between, with most of its rerun life spent bouncing around on the various three networks' Saturday morning schedules, and more recently on cable's Cartoon Network and Boomerang channels. Consequently, that assertion leaves the documentary with minimal credibility, if any, and every passage that has that production for its reference source needs a new one. Let's start looking, shall we? -- Tbrittreid ( talk) 21:44, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, sure. It's perfectly all right for you to throw the words "petty," "insinuation," "unjustified," and "biased" at me but when I throw just one of them back at you (because your calling it "well-researched" after having that error documented and denying the obvious implications of it does indeed suggest a non-objective interest in keeping the production as a source for the article), you take offense and go running for a third party. BTW, claiming to have "watched it without prejudice" does not in any way, shape, or form explain why you flatly describe it as "well-researched" even after I documented one incredibly fundamental error, which I asked you to do. -- Tbrittreid ( talk) 21:58, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
As the above discussion indicates, there is an difference of opinion about the credibility of a rather detailed documentary (published on YouTube and elsewhere) about the development of the Jonny Quest TV series. It states that the series originally aired as "The Adventures of Jonny Quest"; other sources say that it originally aired as simply "Jonny Quest". Assuming that the latter is correct, the question is whether this error in the documentary renders the rest of it unacceptable as a source. - Jason A. Quest ( talk) 14:03, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
This issue is trivially simple: being published on YouTube and Blogspot renders this wholly without credibility, and it can't be used as a reference.— Kww( talk) 03:42, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
OrangeDog posted: I suspect the truth of this particular issue is that it had different names when released in different formats/loctions [sic]/networks. Which is irrelevant, even if it were true which it is not (with the possible exceptions of showings in foreign but English-speaking countries, which remain undocumented anywhere that I've found to check). The assertion is "the original network title for the series was The Adventures of Jonny Quest and it was subsequently 'rebranded' for syndication." I have posted three good reference works that flatly identify the series as simply Jonny Quest, and I ask you all to note that the article's infobox is headed by an image captioned "Original Jonny Quest title card from 1964" which does not bear the words "The Adventures of" at all. Understand that "original" and "1964" are in fact redundant. Any documentary, book or magazine article specifically about this program which flatly and unequivocally asserts that the ABC network aired it on its prime-time schedule in the 1964-1965 season under the title The Adventures of Jonny Quest (as this documentary does) hasn't done enough research to urinate on, since the on-screen title is a very fundamental and easily checkable (especially by professional researchers/writers) fact and calls into question any other claim said work makes that is not made anywhere else. Virtually everything here is irrelevant to the actual issue. Wikipedia's "verifiability versus truth" standard is irrelevant because we have contradictory "verifiable" sources, so the question is which to go with. The obvious answer is the majority of sources and the original 1964 title card. Since the wording of the original on-screen title is a simple and fundamental fact rather than something open to misinterpretation, anything this documentary says that is not also reported elsewhere has to be at the very least doubted, including the "Chip Baloo as the character's original name" assertion. The facts are facts, and the logic is irrefutable: this documentary is untrustworthy. -- Tbrittreid ( talk) 21:10, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
"The video in question is clearly a well-researched source..." Agreed. Of all the windmills one could tilt at on Wikipedia, this one seems particularly ill-considered. -- 71.62.54.243 ( talk) 19:58, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
What kills the documentary as a direct reference is that it was published anonymously. The authors do not want to be known, which means we don't know how much they can be trusted. As to the title: The series was not called "The Adventures of Jonny Quest" in promotional material [1] or in television guide listings [2] during its 1964-65 run on ABC but, in reruns/syndication, there were at least two voice-overs by Mike Road ("Race") that added "The Adventures Of" to the title, although the title card itself did not change. In the documentary's defense, the phrase "original network title" [cited above] may refer to documentation at ABC with the wrong title. -- ClassicCF ( talk) 18:51, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Jonny Quest may have premiered four months before The Adventures of Jet Jungle, but pitching for the Springbok radio series began well in advance of the actual release. Jet and Race may well have been brothers. Both are black belt judo champions. Both have white hair. But Jet Jungle has a vertijet, a black panther. a girlfriend called Sam/Kit and the worlds best superhero theme tune. It is possible that Race Bannon may have also encountered the Star Master in the Jungle, who might have granted him a double life in Africa or vice versa. Ethnopunk ( talk) 12:49, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Big fan of the show when I was a kid. Even now. But not the "modernized" so-called, Real Adventures of Jonny Quest. It's way too phony for me. It was meant to capture the times, I guess. Why does Hollywood always have to "modernize" something that works and which drew people (another example was the hairdo of Captain Kirk on later Star Trek movies)? Anyway... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.88.191.144 ( talk) 06:56, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
The "Production Credits" section looks like it was taken from a single episode. Each episode of Jonny Quest had a different set of credits, so it would take effort to compile a complete list. There are also some misspellings. If a section like this is appropriate on Wikipedia, then it needs some work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ClassicCF ( talk • contribs) 21:07, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Furthermore, syndication airings have been few and far between, with most of its rerun life spent bouncing around on the various three networks' Saturday morning schedules, and more recently on cable's Cartoon Network and Boomerang channels. Consequently, that assertion leaves the documentary with minimal credibility, if any, and every passage that has that production for its reference source needs a new one. Let's start looking, shall we? -- Tbrittreid ( talk) 21:44, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, sure. It's perfectly all right for you to throw the words "petty," "insinuation," "unjustified," and "biased" at me but when I throw just one of them back at you (because your calling it "well-researched" after having that error documented and denying the obvious implications of it does indeed suggest a non-objective interest in keeping the production as a source for the article), you take offense and go running for a third party. BTW, claiming to have "watched it without prejudice" does not in any way, shape, or form explain why you flatly describe it as "well-researched" even after I documented one incredibly fundamental error, which I asked you to do. -- Tbrittreid ( talk) 21:58, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
As the above discussion indicates, there is an difference of opinion about the credibility of a rather detailed documentary (published on YouTube and elsewhere) about the development of the Jonny Quest TV series. It states that the series originally aired as "The Adventures of Jonny Quest"; other sources say that it originally aired as simply "Jonny Quest". Assuming that the latter is correct, the question is whether this error in the documentary renders the rest of it unacceptable as a source. - Jason A. Quest ( talk) 14:03, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
This issue is trivially simple: being published on YouTube and Blogspot renders this wholly without credibility, and it can't be used as a reference.— Kww( talk) 03:42, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
OrangeDog posted: I suspect the truth of this particular issue is that it had different names when released in different formats/loctions [sic]/networks. Which is irrelevant, even if it were true which it is not (with the possible exceptions of showings in foreign but English-speaking countries, which remain undocumented anywhere that I've found to check). The assertion is "the original network title for the series was The Adventures of Jonny Quest and it was subsequently 'rebranded' for syndication." I have posted three good reference works that flatly identify the series as simply Jonny Quest, and I ask you all to note that the article's infobox is headed by an image captioned "Original Jonny Quest title card from 1964" which does not bear the words "The Adventures of" at all. Understand that "original" and "1964" are in fact redundant. Any documentary, book or magazine article specifically about this program which flatly and unequivocally asserts that the ABC network aired it on its prime-time schedule in the 1964-1965 season under the title The Adventures of Jonny Quest (as this documentary does) hasn't done enough research to urinate on, since the on-screen title is a very fundamental and easily checkable (especially by professional researchers/writers) fact and calls into question any other claim said work makes that is not made anywhere else. Virtually everything here is irrelevant to the actual issue. Wikipedia's "verifiability versus truth" standard is irrelevant because we have contradictory "verifiable" sources, so the question is which to go with. The obvious answer is the majority of sources and the original 1964 title card. Since the wording of the original on-screen title is a simple and fundamental fact rather than something open to misinterpretation, anything this documentary says that is not also reported elsewhere has to be at the very least doubted, including the "Chip Baloo as the character's original name" assertion. The facts are facts, and the logic is irrefutable: this documentary is untrustworthy. -- Tbrittreid ( talk) 21:10, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
"The video in question is clearly a well-researched source..." Agreed. Of all the windmills one could tilt at on Wikipedia, this one seems particularly ill-considered. -- 71.62.54.243 ( talk) 19:58, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
What kills the documentary as a direct reference is that it was published anonymously. The authors do not want to be known, which means we don't know how much they can be trusted. As to the title: The series was not called "The Adventures of Jonny Quest" in promotional material [1] or in television guide listings [2] during its 1964-65 run on ABC but, in reruns/syndication, there were at least two voice-overs by Mike Road ("Race") that added "The Adventures Of" to the title, although the title card itself did not change. In the documentary's defense, the phrase "original network title" [cited above] may refer to documentation at ABC with the wrong title. -- ClassicCF ( talk) 18:51, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Does anyone know why "The Devil's Tower" was not in the rotation of JQ episodes on Boomerang? I've been watching JQ every night for years and last night (03/21/10) was the first time they showed it. I very curious... Jackbox1971 ( talk) 20:37, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
It says that was 2 minutes long -- I know that they used about 12 seconds of it in the end credits, I would be curious to see the rest of it. Anyone know where I could find it? Or has it been lost over the decades?

Jonny Quest may have premiered four months before The Adventures of Jet Jungle, but pitching for the Springbok radio series began well in advance of the actual release. Jet and Race may well have been brothers. Both are black belt judo champions. Both have white hair. But Jet Jungle has a vertijet, a black panther. a girlfriend called Sam/Kit and the worlds best superhero theme tune. It is possible that Race Bannon may have also encountered the Star Master in the Jungle, who might have granted him a double life in Africa or vice versa. Ethnopunk ( talk) 12:49, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Big fan of the show when I was a kid. Even now. But not the "modernized" so-called, Real Adventures of Jonny Quest. It's way too phony for me. It was meant to capture the times, I guess. Why does Hollywood always have to "modernize" something that works and which drew people (another example was the hairdo of Captain Kirk on later Star Trek movies)? Anyway... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.88.191.144 ( talk) 06:56, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
The "Production Credits" section looks like it was taken from a single episode. Each episode of Jonny Quest had a different set of credits, so it would take effort to compile a complete list. There are also some misspellings. If a section like this is appropriate on Wikipedia, then it needs some work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ClassicCF ( talk • contribs) 21:07, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
