I once bought the set of DVDs and was horrified at all the edits. Apparently the studio brass decided to "scrub them clean" of anything politically incorrect for the packaged sets sold in bookstores with expensive coffee. Gave the DVDs to some friend's kids.

One night while absolutely bored I decided to download this show online. BEST MUSICAL SCORE FOR A SHOW EVER.

There are more episodes here and they are apparently the original versions! Get 'em while they're hot! See history before they decide to "change" it all again!

Yes, Race Bannon dyes himself with purple berries and tells a bunch of tribesmen, "come and get me you heathens!"

I'm so tired of all this "PC" crap! The "Pursuit of the Po Ho" has some of the dialog removed, The lines "ignorant savages" and "heathen monkeys". In the episode of "Monsters in the Monastary" the line "Uh-oh. Here comes the Oriental Express" is deleted. All you see is Jonny's mouth move. I'm just fed up with all of the "PC" stuff.

The series is great - the rating is for Amazon for removing/censoring episodes after you buy them.

Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2019

I bought this series from Amazon in 2014. In 2015, Amazon removed a few episodes (I paid for). Recently, Amazon removed 5 more episodes (I paid for). A few days ago I logged into my Amazon Video Library and the episodes were labeled "Not Available". One can only presume Amazon is censoring the show for 1960's sensibilities that are not acceptable today. Amazon, isn't that censorship? Isn't taking something another person paid for, stealing? Rest assured Amazon, I can tell the difference between what is acceptable language and what is not. I can also recognize how society's attitudes change throughout time. Please return the original Jonny Quest episodes I paid for. Hearing 1960's cartoon characters use phrases we would not consider using today will not cause us to de-evolve into bigots.

Like the earlier release better

Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2017

I already own the Golden Collection that came out earlier (2006, I think). I had bought this version hoping, as this was the 60th anniversary Diamond Collection, that they would have restored the few pieces of audio that had been edited out in the earlier version, and that they would have thrown in a few more extras. Unfortunately, neither was the case. The Golden Collection was 4 discs, it folded out, with the episode titles and multiple pictures from the series on the flaps. The discs were colorful with the number of the disc and a full color picture of a main character on each. It took up the room of more then one DVD case but less then 2. The Diamond Collection has a slip cover over one DVD case. There is an insert with the titles which has some pictures from the series on it. There are 3 discs, stacked on each other in the DVD well. The discs themselves are plainer, each one numbered, with line art of 3 of the 4 characters. I haven't compared all the episodes yet, but I haven't noticed any discernible difference in quality. I wouldn't say this was a bad release, but personally, I prefer the earlier one.

Put On Your PF Flyers and Jump At This Series

Loved it as a kid in the 60's, every Saturday morning. I made sure my kids got to grow up with it too on vhs, and now my grandson of 5 has seen it 100 times, and loves it. I even converted an old 12" GI Joe into a Race Bannon for him with a red shirt and white hair. The Robot Spy is still suspenseful, The Invisible Monster is still a great and creepy episode, and the jazz score is incredible. At a time when James Bond was dominating the box office and spy shows were on every channel, Jonny Quest bridged the gap for kids and parents on a Friday night as two 11 year olds assisted their scientist father and faithful bodyguard in thwarting the bad guys. Then of course it went on to run for years on Saturday mornings. I thought there would be several seasons but there's just this one and it far outshines the attempts at revival in later years. This is the gift I buy for friends with young kids and it's never failed to be a hit. Great adventure, kids and adults working together with character, courage, and respect, always to defeat evil around the world. Yes it's been edited, and I hate that, but better than to not have it at all, and my kids wouldn't know the difference. Let's all just hope they don't totally ruin it when it becomes a live action movie.

Amazon Prime streams the originals uncut!!

Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2013

I started to purchase the DVD collection today until I read all the reviews about the DVD's being edited. I remember watching JQ as a kid in the seventies and to be honest, I would rather wait for an unedited version to come out. Since the times and technology are changing this may never happen. So out of curiosity I decided to purchase one episode of JQ on Amazon Prime and watch episode four The Pursuit of the PO-HO since a lot of the complaints focused on PC in the dialog. To my surprise it was the original unedited version so I purchase the whole season 1 on Amazon Prime. I have yet to watch all the episodes but seeing how episode four is in its originality it gives me hope that the rest of the episodes will be the same. It still lacks Doug Wildey's name in the credits but hey sometimes you just can't have your cake and eat it too. At least you still get the original unedited JQ version.

Love Jonny Quest

Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2016

Love Jonny Quest... and to have the ability to watch the episodes is great; however it is frustrating that political correctness has taken away some of the character of this cartoon. It's a shame that we as a society have come to the point that a classic cartoon is being changed for the sake of political correctness. I'm glad to have the episodes, but I would immediately buy a new set without edits.

Two examples I specifically remember

1. Race Bannon in "Pursuit of the Po Ho"
- He comes out of the water painted purple and his mouth moves but no words come out. Originally he calls the Po Ho "ignorant savages" and "heathen monkeys"

2. Johnny in "Monsters in the Monastary"
- One of the yeti is falling towards Johnny. Originally Johnny says "Uh-oh. Here comes the Oriental Express." This has been removed and all you see is his Johnny's mouth move.

Once again it's sad to see such a great cartoon being changed due to political correctness.

My favourite Hanna Barbera studios production. Loved it as a kid, love it now. Never realised that the always consistently good actor Tim Matheson was young Jonny. Nor did I notice his dad had a different voice after five episodes. And Dr Zin was a perfect 60'x villain. A live action version of the original, with a young and reasonably obedient J Q would work even now

Good, but there's just something missing

Reviewed in Canada on May 18, 2004

I don't know what it is. I used to LOVE this as a kid, and even a few years ago when I watched it on Teletoon. But now, after watching Mystery of the Lizard Men, I just feel like I wasted my money, I don't know why. Maybe there's too much Bandit goofiness, I don't know.
Anyways, if what I hear is true about the censoring, then I am rightfully PO'ed (I'd write something else, but I'd probably get censored!). That's like censoring classics like "Huckleberry Finn" or "Of Mice and Men". Jonny Quest is a classic and should not be altered in any way just to satisfied modern, politically correct BS sensibilities. The Po-Hos were ignorant savages and Race did well by calling them such!
Oh well, there are still some great episodes here, in this ONLY season of Jonny Quest (if you're actually counting that eighties tripe with the big rock man, then you need to be sedated). As a child, I can't remember anything scaring me more than that fat guy with the giant lizards on leashes chasing that skinny wretch through the jungle and cackling like a maniac until the poor guy jumps into the ocean. Or the lunatic screams of the pterodactyl in Turu the Terrible. Or the horror as the paint-covered Invisible Monster descends upon a helpless, petrified Bandit. Oh, I'm getting chills just thinking about it. Okay, I'm off to watch another episode.

It's wonderful to have the first season of Jonny Quest on DVD and it's a reminder of being a young kid in the 60's and having a great Saturday morning line up of cartoons to watch tying up the TV for a good part of the morning.Despite what our parents use to say, It's something that todays kids will never experience. I am looking forward to receiving the second season of this series so I can have all the episodes that can remember and the ones that I can't .
