Anybody remember Johnny Quest? I seem to recall a kid with a turban and a rich scientist dad and an Indian friend... Or how about "Space Ghost", where our universal hero beats up on the baddies out in the trackless void of space...? Saturday mornings were great in those days... Mark Paulin ...tektronix!tekmdp!markp

Sure, I remember Johnny Quest. Talk about great kiddie cartoon shows
(I mean, who could tell that all of the plots were the same? All they ever
did was just change the order of words and add a few new ones...)
BUT......for the $64,000 question:
Who did the voice for Johnny Quest???? (HINT: he was in a VERY popular
comedy film about 4 years ago.)eric@aplvax.UUCP (08/18/83)
First "Space Ghost": I haven't checked recently, but within the last year, some of the old "Space Ghost" shows were on network Saturday morning programming as part of a some kind of space adevnture hour. Some were new episodes, others were the original. On to "Johnny Quest". Yes, I certainly remember the show. It consisted of the exploits of Johnny, his Indian friend Hajii(sp?), Johnny's father, and a muscle man type. Johnny also had a dog called Bandit, that seemed to always be getting into trouble (what else do dogs do). I think that it also is still shown in syndication, normally on Saturday or Sunday afternoons, right after the network programming. All of this video nostalgia is really starting to sink in. How many of the readers of these articles have no idea what we are talking about, and don't remember Fireball XL-5, Thunderbirds, Astroboy, the above two shows, Mr. Terrific and Captain Nice, and all the rest?

Yea, good ol' Johnny Quest with his friends Hadji and Rex and the dog Bandit.
They don't make them like that anymore. All you get to see knowadays is
Pacman and the Smurfs. They are even coming out with a cartoon based on those
spider-like things that you throw on the wall and watch slowly crawl down.
GIVE ME A BREAK!!

I remember Jonny Quest. It was one of my absolute favorites. He had an
Indian friend with a turban and a little dog. Also Space Ghost was fun.
He had some teenage twins (the names Jan and John come to mind) who
helped him out.

I don't know if anybody has mentioned this, so forgive me if I'm being redundant. Anyway, Mel Blanc spoke at B.U. several years ago. (Best damn lecture I've ever been to. His first words were "Eeeeh What's up Doc!" The audience roared.) When someone mentioned the deteriorating quality of todays cartoons, Mel stated that the cartoonists have a strong union. Hence, it's far too expensive to make a cartoon today with the same quality as before. I believe Warner Brothers don't make cartoons any more. Such a shame. "Heepa-Heepa-Heepa-That's all, folks!!"

The official word from himself of ancient and (mathematically) perfect age: Jonny Quest (no 'h'), with Hadji, Dr. Benton Quest, "Race" Bannon (quotes are from the show itself) and Bandit.

The chimp's name. Two mandatory pieces of equipment. Name of their Home base Name of SG's wrist gizmos Number of visible switches on same Location of interpersonal communication device.

Aside from Keith Fung, I didn't get any replies to the JQ/SG quiz, so here they are anyway: The Quest File Number 039 Bannon's real first name, and those of his parents Roger, son of John and Sarah Bannon's super-hot and -rich lady-love Jade Quest's arch-enemy Dr. Zin How the Quest group FIRST met Hadji The Quest party was visiting India, where an assassin tried to kill Dr. Quest by throwing a knife at him. Hadji was sitting nearby, charming a snake. He saw the knife coming and stopped it with the lid of the snake basket. Jonny thought Hadji was trying to kill his father and tackled him. But we know how the story turned out.. Hadji's favorite phrase, and what it did "Sim, Sim Salabim" - primarily for levitation Name Jan's twin brother. Jason (aka "Jase") The chimp's name. Blip Two mandatory pieces of equipment. Jet Pack and Inviso-Belt Name of their Home base Ghost Planet Name of SG's wrist gizmos & Number of visible switches on same Power bands, with three visible switches on each Location of interpersonal communication device.
