RE Jonny Quest:
I have all the original episodes on DVD, and ALWAYS show it to my nephews when they come over. They LOVE it.
RE Toy Guns:
My kids have been shooting REAL guns - .22s - since they were 5 and 7, respectively. I had toy guns - they were VERY realistic back when I was a kid. I knew EVERY WWII gun when I was a kid, and was shooting an M1 Garand at 11 years old.
The other side can try to condition kids all they want. It’s doomed to failure.
PS3 Modern Warfare, Call of Duty, Black Ops, Medal of Honor, etc., is undoing ALL of their PC bullsh*t on a daily basis.
Kids today know more about more kinds of guns than we EVER did. And they’re waiting for the opportunity to learn how to shoot.
I recall being about 7 yrso and color TV was just catching on, we only had black and white then though, and every Friday(I think) night primetime everything had to stop while I glued myself to that half hour episode.
Just the opening theme ws enough to take me out of that living room (mentally) to the JQ action fantasy world, which lasted the rest of the evening.
Not long ago I DVRed the series on Boomerang and watched them all again ~ one a day.
I mean mummies and space aliens and Nazis and voodoo and ....genius criminals and .... WOW
