Most or all of us have loved shows at more impressionable ages, that we'd regret "revisiting" in later years, shaking our heads in disbelief that we ever liked them, & hoping nobody walks in while we're watching. Sometimes, it may be imprinting, sometimes it's shows that were fine for their time, but are best left there.
Jonny Quest-one of the most misdefined shows ever-is an excellent example of one I'm more impressed with now, than I was in my younger years. It's about very down to Earth characters in not so down to Earth situations. The characters are very easy to care for. Dr, Benton Quest, brooding over the safety of his family members, but having to deal w/ such safety being compramised by the nature of his profession, a reasuring prophessionalism in body guard Race Bannon, who puts his life on the line to protect the family, but is very forthright in expressing his humanness, & common sense. The musical underscore was used a lot in Hanna Barbera cartoons in the future, as well as more serious animations, but This show seemed to provide the best chemistry for them. The underscore & action were in constant harmony.
The so called "Real" Adventures, didn't come close to the rawness of this original.
When I say misdefined, I mean it gets hyped as just like any other cartoon. I guess what I like about it is that it has the wholesomeness of other animated contemporaries(no profanity, strong sexual content, or graphic mutilation)& the intensely brutal drama of the live action adventure shows.
Wholesome, but intense.
