Any child growing up in the early 1960's could most likely be found sitting front row and center in front of a television set when their favorite action/suspense cartoon canme on, that being Jonny Quest.
Now Jonny was not your normal pre-teen young boy. Oh no, Jonny was able to travel all around the world with his famous scientist father Dr. Benton C. Quest. Jonny was always accompanied by his best friend East Indian born Hadji in which the two boys different worlds would be melded into one enlightening many North American children that there exists more than just the American culture. Both of the boys and Jonny's father were also accompanied on their world wide adventures by the macho man Roger T. 'Race' Bannon who served many purposes but mainly as the bodyguard for the three adventurers (Dr. Quest, Jonny Quest and Hadji). Filling out the cast of characters was Jonny's lovable puppy bulldog named Bandit, thus named for possessing a single black patch over one eye as the rest of his body was completely white. Bandit constantly getting into some kind of trouble with the various native creatures (giant snakes, Iguanas, and birds) the boys encountered all over the world.
Each 30 minute episode was filled with great adventures, risky business, Race Bannon duels with many bad dudes including sumo wrestlers and giant iguanas, and of course each episode ended on a happy note. Fun filled adventure which I am sure the children of todays environment could also benefit from watching.
I give the series a perfect 10 out of 10 rating.
