I vaguely remember watching this when I was a kid in reruns and I'm really starting to like this show. I'm fairly shocked that they actually shoot real guns that fire bullets no less (none of that ray-gun shit they do today). On top of that, people actually die! That hasn't happened in cartoons since the '80s! Usually when a chopper blows up or something you see the pilots parachuting out, but not here.

And the stories/plots are really good. A bit trite, but not dumbed-down like shows such as GI Joe, etc. Fun stuff.

Original of course (do they even show the remake on Boomerang?).

That makes me wish I had that channel. Now if only one could get the Time Traxx episodes (beyond the first five posted on Youtube)....

I don't get that channel in Canada, so I have no idea what is shown on it.

my favourite episodes are "Robot Spy" and "The Invisible Monster".

I loved that show as a kid. Watched it religiously when it premiered on prime-time. In its second season I even got to see it in color because my parents bought a console color TV with a mind-bogglingly-massive 25" diagonal screen. High-tech, baby.

I wonder if, today, they could even make a cartoon having a side-kick named Hadji without some group bitching and complaining?

Odd.....the show originally ran only one season of 25 episodes. (Sept. '64-March '65)

I love Jonny Quest, he is my son of course.

I even have a couple of animation cels from the original series, which is the only one to watch IMHO.

Justice League was actually really good. I watched that with my son when it was in production...too bad it ended.

This is what people have to look forward to when they get old. They too will be able to incorrectly recall details of their childhood.

/flash forward to ATOT in the year 2055

I don't get that station, but I do remember watching it when it did air on cartoon network many eons ago. Nowadays, it just gives me more of an appreciation of The Venture Brothers...
