Black Panther and Jonny Quest

 

For a brief moment, the classic Jonny Quest cartoons showed up on HBO Max.  I only got about five episodes in before they were pulled off of the service.  Hopefully they will return or show up somewhere else that I can check out the rest.  It was great seeing them again after all these years.

Currently Boomerang shows Jonny Quest weeknights from 6:00 to 7:00 pm ET , both original 60's and the 80's episodes .

Ross, i thought you once said you didn't like the 1960s Quest because they used too much repeating scenes?? is that still the case?

Ross said...

I still wish they didn't have so much of that, but I appreciate the stories and character design a lot.

@Ross and Tobor: limitations of a 1960's budget, guys. I consider it high-tech, for its time, that the animators were able to draw realistic people (five-fingered hands, included) and objects (like automobiles with actual exhaust fumes)!

Hmmm! If you had teamed them up with Spidey, the most likely scenario would've been that he needed their help against another of Dr. Zin's one-eyed wonders. But, seeing as this is Wakanda, I will guess that T'Challa's people are being preyed upon by a giant Turu-like pteranodon from Serpent Valley!

Minor digression: does anybody else think Bandit might be a French bulldog/Chinese pug mix?

Bob Greenwade said...

Arguably, Bandit should join Ace and the Dogs of War.

No argument, here. :-)

They disappeared from Tubi as well. Last I checked, MeTV Toons had the Real Adventures going but hopefully they'll swing back to the first two shows.

I lucked out. I bought the original series compilation on DVD!

Jonny & co. have been on the site for 15 years & need a real feminine presence as their next match. You've used Superman & Swamp Thing twice (not to mention Man-Thing once) so I'd like to see Wonder Woman, Storm (for another another African adv.), the Power Pack, Celsius (for Hadji) & the new Doom Patrol along for the ride. The Power Puff Girls come to mind for a match up not involving the Big 2 comic company characters.

If it has to be another male character then I nominate Kong the Untamed or Kamandi who both closely resemble Jonny Quest. Lots of story potential there.

Or, failing all that, I'd settle for Jonny Quest and Walt Disney's first princess in...."Snow White and the 7 Deadly Zins."
