It ran for 2 seasons - 26 episodes. But all 26 episodes are on the DVD. BTW, this is the absolute BEST news I’ve heard in a long time. IIRC esprix is also a big fan, he’ll be thrilled.
Well, I found the thread I was remembering. What I didn’t remember so well is that it was me who mentioned Jonny Quest in that thread. :o Sorry for the confusion.
I guess it’s true what they say about eyewitness testimony being unreliable…
Was the one in the Andes the one about the former German pilot who had a dachshund and an old, Latin houseman? That one was great. What was the dog’s name again? Willy, maybe?
Buddy of mine picked it up earlier this week (he found the best non-online price at Circuit City), and was dismayed to find some politically correct noodling.
Something about, they’re captured by natives somewhere and my friend’s recollection of the episode was a wry reference to the “heathen monkeys” who were their captors. This phrase was actually bleeped out on the DVD.
I could see doing that if it were airing on Comedy Central or something, but geez. That’d be like getting All in the Family on DVD and hearing bleeps whenever Archie went off-color!
A friend of mine managed to find Jonny Quest on videotape to watch with his son-- when he got to the ‘booga booga’ scene with those heathen monkeys he laughed, turned off the tube, and told his son to go play outside.
