It was by far my favorite TV show as a young kid 1960s and it was prime time at night when I first watched it. It got canceled after only one season because it was expensive to create such high quality hand drawn cartoons weekly even though it was popular.
I was a boy 6 or 7 and the world had to stop when that show came on weekly at night. The lib wimmin got all Hanna Barbara Cartoon Adventure shows canceled by 1970 and it was Scooby Doo and Jose and the Pussycats on Saturdays instead.
Fortunately for me Boomerang Channel still plays them daily and even I my age I still love them, the originals of course. The 1980s newer ones are not close to them in quality,
“..it was prime time at night when I first watched it...”
Really? I only ever remember it on Saturday mornings... however I DO remember “The Flinstones” on prime time evening.
“..The lib wimmin got all Hanna Barbara Cartoon Adventure shows canceled by 1970...”
Even back then we had to deal with these moronic b*tches.
I still catch JQ on Boomerang as well. My son loved it growing up as well. Still does.
When Cartoon Network first came on-air roundabout 1989, they had a Jonny Quest Marathon and I had the VHS recorder running for all of the original episodes. I made it a point to copy it on VHS (when that was the rage) and give it to other friends who had sons.
These are cartoons for boys, about boys, BEING boys.
Hence...the other side hates it.
F*** ‘em.
