Hanna-Barbera's last foray into prime-time television was the realistic adventure series "The Adventures of Jonny Quest", premiering September 18, 1964.
Created by cartoonist Doug Wildey, Jonny Quest is about the globe-trotting adventures of an 11 year old boy, his scientist father Dr. Benton Quest, his adopted brother Hadji (from Calcutta, India), his government bodyguard Race Bannon and fearless bulldog, Bandit.
Together this "family" traveled all around the world solving mysteries usually involving Dr. Quest's experiments, research and inventions. They took on many evil-doers including Dr. Quest's biggest rival, Dr. Zin.
Popular since it's debut, the show would be revived a couple of times and also a long running comic book series in the 80's as well as other merchandise.
