Jonny Quest - The Original Series (1 Viewer)

I find that the most aggravating aspect about the set. That wasn't there when I originally watched those episodes (Yes, I am that old ). That is more obnoxious than the CBS logo on their classic sets.

I agree. And I find that tacked on CBS logo incredibly annoying. That HB/Turner logo/animation/annoyance is on several animated shows I own. I hate it on each and every one! When it plays it completely takes me out of the mood.

Are you talking about this end logo?

No... I misspoke. For some reason I had "Cartoon Network" in my head but it's actually a logo/animation added by HB/Turner - I edited that post to reflect this instead. It's a montage of sorts. There are two types I know of, the one on Jonny Quest and the other has an "El Kabong" guitar twang added. Both are annoying and absolutely out-of-character for these classic animations.

I remember this one from the 90's.

 

[BobO'Link]

^Yep... that's one of them.

 

[darkrock17]

I don't see anything wrong with it, a good little glimpse of some of HB's action library.

 

[Doug Wallen]

It was tacked on and doesn't fit with the episodes and just aggravates me. I just find it very intrusive and not what I want the episodes to end with. A personal feeling. I would be very happy if it was erased from these new transfers.

 

[dpippel]

I agree.

 

[darkrock17]

That end logo is from the VHS years, I use to have a few Jonny Quest's and other HB series back in the 90's. I don't know if all of WB's releases have had their original HB closings or the standard WB Television logo instead.

Glad to see this coming to blu-ray, but the DigitalBits mentioned the other day that it was coming in late 2019 or early 2020. Not sure why the delay.

I wonder if The Flintstones will happen?

I'm very tempted by the latest complete series rerelease since I'm missing two seasons and I'm not a fan of flippers. Probably after I buy that, season one will be announced for Blu-Ray.

Looks like I'll have to wait. In the meantime the DVD set, despite its flaws will have to tide me over until then.

Well usually we complain that the studios are tight-lipped about all the projects they are working on and won't confirm anything until it's ready to be released. Here's a case where they gave us a whole year's advance notice!

I *could* be wrong (and hopefully am), but the Flintstones seems highly unlikely. I don't mean that as a comment about the show's popularity, but moreso the fact that it is a SIX season show. I mean, look how long it is taking WAC to release some of the older(as in, not currently still airing) shows on blu. It took longer than 3 years, if I am remembering correctly, to release all of Batman: The Brave and the Bold, and they started releasing Teen Titans earlier this year (with no signs yet of season 2, as far as we know). With six seasons for the Flintstones, that could be quite a while before they finish, and WAC is certainly NOT going to release a complete series set to start, either. Again, I hope I am wrong and they do try, but it seems unlikely to me.

I'm actually very shocked that they chose Johnny Quest over The Flintstones or Scooby Doo as a 1st HB Blu Ray Since those two are by far the most popular HB properties. Not that JQ isn't popular just not as popular.

simple math, one season, 26 glorious episodes if done correctly, and then it's done, as opposed to longer running series

waiting to see what the added extra content is going to be, maybe WB can include the greatest homage to this classic series that was done a few years ago in a different style



the music kicks, and hey if you are going to up date a classic, this is how you do it

 

[Randy Korstick]

I get the simple math but that wasn't used in the past. The Flintstones and Scooby Doo were always released 1st on DVD, VHS because they are more popular.

 

[JoeDoakes]

I think internal Warner politics may have played a role. Both Flintstones and Scooby have a lot of licensing deals and are prevalent in retail markets. Warner Archive could probably get the go ahead for a blu of a title like Johnny Quest much easier than those. Sort of like it being able to release a complete Porky Pig, when Bugs or Daffy are probably more desired.
