Jonny Quest (also known as The Adventures of Jonny Quest) is an American animated science fiction adventure television series about a boy who accompanies his scientist father on extraordinary adventures. It was produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions for Warner Bros. Animation, and created and designed by comic book artist Doug Wildey.
Inspired by radio serials and comics in the action-adventure genre, it featured more realistic art, characters, and stories than Hanna-Barbera's previous cartoon programs. It was the first of several Hanna-Barbera action-based adventure shows – which would later include Space Ghost, The Herculoids, and Birdman and the Galaxy Trio – and ran on ABC in prime time on early Friday nights for one season in 1964–1965.
After spending two decades in reruns, during which time it appeared on all 3 major US television networks of the time, new episodes were produced for syndication in 1986 as part of The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera's second season. Two telefilms, a comic book series, and a more modern revival series, The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest, were produced in the 1990s.
You're hanging onto all the words that accidentally fell past my lips,
I never meant a thing I said,
You’re grasping onto your very last breath,
Making sure before you go that everything is perfect...
And you won't be here to watch it all go down,
You can see from up above what this is all about.
And when I woke I hadn't noticed the lights had changed,
And when I drove through the stop sign had faded,
And you don't ever have to lie,
Just turn around and walk this time.
And you won't be here to watch it all go down,
You can see from up above what this is all about,
