    I remember thinking the show was boring as a kid but always tuning in to watch the intro which was seriously amazing but then changing to Nickelodeon soon after. As an adult years ago I watched it here in YT because someone uploaded the entire series and I saw how great this show actually was and regretted not giving it a chance then.

    JQ was my favorite catch in cartoon Network back in 90s... This one along with other shows such as Swat Kats were the genuine attempts by the cartoon artists back then to inspire the children and even adults to be courageous righteous daring investigative introspective intellects and follow their core instincts for a better success and future. Even the villians are given so much thought in this cartoon, the character Ezekiel Rage is something so gripping and thrilling to watch and the combination of this name is associated my login credentials even today so JQ has been part of my computer world since 1996 till today in 2023.. Even These cartoons literally shaped some of us to be wat we are today.. I wish Christopher Nolan makes a real movie out on JQ with Liam Neeson as Dr Quest, Sir Ian McAllen as Surd and music composition by John Williams, Hans Zimmer and Ludwig Goransson. Coz it deserves to be retold to the present generation of dumb lethargic kids who r either glued to smartphones or r watching silly stupid pokemon doremon oggy n cockroaches and reality shows such as big boss.

    Nicely done sir. I grew up watching the original series from the 1960s and its first reboot in the 1980s. When this new reboot came out, I was impressed with the storytelling and the animation. Now I know there were two seasons. The second season was animated differently, but it was still nicely done. Hard to believe this version is almost 30 years old now. Thanks for the history lesson on Jonny Quest. One more thing: I believe Jesse Bannon was added in this version. I know she wasn’t in the Original series and I think she was in the first reboot in a few episodes. Thanks again. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
