Fantastic!
To me (and countless others, no doubt), this figures as one of THE premier cartoons to emerge from that 'golden age' of Saturday morning entertainment, even in the heady company of the other Hanna-Barbara standards.
I can't think of another 'toon that was so breathlessly anticipated each week in the 60's (oh, to have had video recording capability back then), and the excitement carries through to the present day. This well-crafted & superbly illustrated series set a benchmark for quality cartoons with intelligent dialogue, perfect pacing and a right-on musical soundtrack that surely has embedded itself into every young adventurers' memory banks!
Some notable episodes include 'The Robot Spy', 'The Quetong Missile Mystery' and 'Shadow of the Condor', among others. One or two small edits/omissions in the DVD set, but seemingly nothing too dreadful....;)
As I close out my 40's, I STILL want to be Jonny Quest (would you believe, Race Bannon??).
Editorial Review:
Unlike the outrageous fantasy plots of cartoons that preceded it, "Jonny Quest" drew on science and detective-style logic to solve mysteries and apprehend sophisticated villains. Viewers were transported to exotic locales as Jonny's dad Dr. Benton Quest tackled each new government assignment, aided by ex-agent "Race" Bannon, the Indian boy Hadji, family bulldog Bandit...and of course, his fearless 11-year-old son Jonny (voiced by actor Tim Matheson). Now all 26 classic episodes from Year One charting the fantastic exploits of brave and brainy Jonathan Quest are available for the first time ever, digitally re-mastered on DVD in a deluxe four-disc collectors set, featuring over 11 hours of classic original TV programming and newly-added enhanced content.

Jonny Quest-The Best! 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 5 people found this review helpful.
It has now been some years since the release of the original JQ. This was welcomed by fans as the BEST animated "sci-fi" series ever. The New Adventures are just as good as the originals (keep the evolution in technology out of the comparison and look at the quality of episode writing and content to compare).
A surprise is that the 13 episode Second season rarely (if ever) surfaces in any discussion of Jonny Quest! All S2 episodes are good (some GREAT) and worthy of release. Fans should join together to get these episodes released so we can enjoy the COMPLETE series.
Please add to Amazon reviews so we can let the studio's know demand exists for the 13 episode season 2!!!

Confusing box, this is the new REAL ADVENTURES OF JONNY QUEST! 4 out of 5 stars.
33 of 36 people found this review helpful.
The box is confusing, the red triangle at the top right states "Two Classic Episodes from the Original TV Series", this would be the 1965 series that is already out on DVD. But this is really the third incarnation of the series from the mid 1990's: THE REAL ADVENTURES OF JONNY QUEST. Questworld is the cyber world that Jonny enters to battle virtual villians. This series differs slightly from the original, but it is still very good.
Also notice that this DVD is LESS than an HOUR long, only 47 MINUTES (Two episodes). The $5 price no longer seems so cheap, convert this price per two episodes to a complete season box and you would be paying $60 for the first season set already out.

With the Complete Johnny Quest First Season out,now comes a DVD from the Johnny Quest series that ran in 1999! I hope to see more of these DVDs to come out.And I can't believe that its only $5.00! This is a must for any Johnny Quest Fan!
Warner Brothers' "TV Premiere DVD" Series - Cheaply-Made & Over-Priced 2 out of 5 stars.

This is not a review of this specific title, but rather of Warner Brothers' "TV Premiere DVD" series as a whole. I would like to make you aware of my issues with features that are apparently prevalent in ALL of the titles in this series, based upon my purchase of one of these titles ("The Flintstones - The Flintstone Flyer").
Although the list of issues below was written specifically for The Flintstones DVD, I highly suspect that most (if not all) of it applies to this and all of the other titles in the "TV Premiere DVD" series. Be sure to check out The Flintstones page to see the photos that I uploaded which better illustrate the packaging and disc printing issues mentioned below.
-- The disc does not come in a plastic case, but rather in a cardboard sleeve which opens on the side. I've purchased $1 public domain DVDs from no-name companies that came in plastic slim cases, so it's appalling that a $6 DVD from a big-name company would be done so cheaply. Also, the sleeve has a hole at the top in the center where the peg would go for it to be hung on a rack like an action figure or toy. The hole has been edited out of the promo photos that Warner Bros. gave Amazon to display for the DVDs.
-- The text on the disc is very faint and hard to read - another way Warner Bros. skimped on production costs.
-- The cheapness doesn't stop at the packaging. The DVD does not contain a menu, not even a plain one. Because of this, there's an interesting glitch that happens if you let the DVD play past the episode. You see, after the episode plays, it goes to a FBI Warning on title 3, which then goes to the non-existent menu, so the player just hangs on a black screen.
-- They were even cheap in the placement of the chapters marks, which are placed every ten minutes (0:00, 10:00, and 20:00) no matter if it makes sense in the episode content for one to be there or not.
-- From what I've read, most (if not all) of the titles in the "TV Premiere DVD" series were originally released on VHS and/or laserdisc, with these DVDs being done from the VHS and laserdisc masters. The quality of The Flintstones DVD definitely appears to be better than VHS, so either it came from a laserdisc master, or not all of the titles were done from old home video masters.
Although at first I didn't mind paying $6 for one 26 minute Flintstones episode, that was before I knew that the DVD didn't even come in a plastic case. Now that six dollars really seems like a rip-off.

This cartoon is not anywhere as good as the original series and was really expensive for such a short video. I wish I had not purchased it.
