the real adventures of jonny quest revival of the wildly popular 1960s hanna-jarbera animated show
jonny quest. it was
broadcast on cartoon network from august 26, 1996 to april 16, 1997. the show is an action/adventure series, covering the same basic idea as the original: that of a teenage boy named
jonny quest, who travels the world with his family (his father,
dr. benton quest, his adoptive brother
hadji singh, their bodyguard
roger "race" bannon, and their pet dog,
bandit), investigating mysterious phenomena they encounter along the way.
cartoon network spearheaded this re-imagining with the purpose of attracting a wider audience by
aging the younger characters by a couple of years, making the
plots slightly darker, introducing new characters like
jessie bannon (race's daughter), and
adding a tech element in
quest world, dr. quest's fully immersive virtual reality system, which was animated through
3D graphics that were notably innovative for 1996 standards. the first season of the show focused mainly on these new aspects, and the second season was produced by a different team (including a completely different voice cast) with the aim of
resembling the classic JQ series a little more closely, by way of more science fiction and paranormal plotlines.
the show was generally well received by fans and critics, even gathering
a decent-sized internet fandom within a new generation of teens and young adults who have now grown fully into adulthood and have raised it almost to cult status all on its own. however, the ratings and merchandise revenue were not high enough to warrant a renewal for a third season, with only
52 episodes produced in total.
a
fanlisting is, as described by its creator, janine, as a
"a place for all fans of a particular show, movie, actor/actress, singer, etc. to come together and build the biggest listing of people from all around the world who are fans of that subject." in this case, it's a list of fans of
the real adventures of jonny quest.
