Jonny Quest The Real Adventures Season One Volume Two

At long last, Warner Bros. releases the other half of season 1. Here's the episodes & reviews for each of them.14. In the Wake of the Mary Celeste: A century ago, the cargo ship Mary Celeste sank under mysterious circumstances. While on an expedition to find the Mary Celeste's remains, Dr Quest discovers what look like crop circles at the bottom of the Sargasso Sea - and a graveyard of ships in an area barren of marine life. This is an interesting episode, mainly because you never find out what was really going on. It was a little frustrating when I first saw it, but now I see how mysterious it can be. B+15. AMOK: On an archaeological expedition in Borneo, the Quest team run into a giant creature, reputed to savagely attack from all directions at the same time. Then they find out that man can be the greater beast... This is one of the weakest episodes. Not good, but not bad either. C16. Besieged in Paradise: Jeremiah Surd taps into, and gains control of, the cetacean communications bandwidth, prodding cetaceans worldwide into savage attacks. The Quest team enlists the help of Captain Havell to stop Surd. This isn't as good as his first episode, but it's still a fine episode. B17. The Spectre of the Pine Barrens: Dr. Quest, Jonny and Hadji head to New Jersey to investigate the Jersey Devil. Then they run into a two-hundred-year-old feud between descendants of the Redcoats and the Minutemen over the original copy of the Declaration of Independence. This is a great episode, with an interesting premise & some great character moments. A18. Heroes: Despite the breaking of its head, the recovery of a statue of Apollo from Greece by Quest Enterprises heralds an important archaeological find--sure to catch the attention of Jeremiah Surd, who has his own plans for the monument. This is one of the best uses of Questworld ever. A19. The Ballad of Belle Bonnet: Centuries ago, a female thief stole a wagonload of gold to help an Indian school stay open, but the gold - and the thief - were lost in vast caverns under the American desert. Jonny discovers that her ghost is still guarding the cache. This is one of the best episodes of the first season. A20. In the Darkness of the Moon: A werewolf attack in northern Canada brings the Quest team to investigate. Race finds romance with an attractive outback doctor who turns out to be the last female descendant of a werewolf family. A mostly boring episode, but the werewolf idea was cool, just not fleshed out nearly enough. C21. The Secret of the Moai: Thousands of years ago, the missing link between apes and humans was engineered by aliens possessing auditory DNA-altering technology. When Dr. Quest locates an alien ship in Easter Island, Surd experiments in devolution and turns Dr. Quest and Race Bannon into apes. The weakest episode on the set. The story is sort of interesting, but there are too many stupid moments that drag it down. C-22. Expedition to Khumbu: Betrayed by a colleague who wants sole credit for proving the existence of yeti, Dr. Quest is all but lost in an avalanche in the mountains of Nepal; when his family begins searching, they are threatened by a similar fate. This is an excellent episode. A+23. Ice Will Burn: On a delivery mission for Dr. Quest in Siberia, Jessie Bannon and the Quest Jet fall to the earth and break through the ice to land in a massive underworld, where she is hailed as the one who will restore a volcano's heat. Another episode that's just there. C24. Future Rage: Ezekiel Rage steals a compact thermonuclear device and plans to melt the polar ice caps. The team set out in the Questsled to foil his plan, unaware that the Aurora Borealis in the sky above shall prove their greatest weapon. This is the weakest episode with Ezekiel rage. Not because of the story (which is excellent as always) but because of an overly long flashback. The fact that it's from an episode with a different animation style doesn't help. But still, the good stuff shines through. A-25. Alligators and Okeechobee Vikings: Thought to be eco-terrorists, Vikings in alligator suits assault a drilling rig and prompt an inquiry from Dr. Quest. After Jonny and Hadji are lost in an air boat incident, he finds that the Vikings are the least of his problems. This is a great episode with some good action scenes. A-26. To Bardo & Back: By watching Jonny practice, Surd learns that the team will be attending a rodeo and uses a mad bull to seriously injure Race. The stakes are increased when Dr. Quest attempts to miraculously repair the damage in Questworld. This is a great end to season 1. AI must confess this wasn't as good as the first volume. But it gets better from here on out, I assure you. So until next time Quest fans, keep buying copies so that WB will release season 2.

Grew up with Johnny Quest, love these cartoons

Not my favorite season of the Real Adventures. Why in the world they changed Dr. Quest's hair color, I have no idea and what was that cane he used all about? No explanation offered. Hadji was shown as a lab assistant rather than a son of Benton Quest's and no explanation as to why they relocated from Mexico, if you're following the movies to this series, to Maine. And what did become of Rachelle's dolphins? It is fun watch and I respect the creators love for the original show. Some of their changes just didn't make sense.

I like it very much and thank you for the item.

When they tried to reboot Jonny Quest in the 80's, this aimed it at children and it showed. This one aimed a little higher and reminded why I loved the original shows so much. It had one episode that completely freaked me, and it hooked me from the start. It had some shows that were not all that great, but so it goes. The overall effort was worth it, and it is not the sixties, and no one should expect that, it is a nineties version that actually works. Keep that in mind and give the shows a chance.

I am a huge RAJQ fan. I grew up with it, it got me into cartoons and comics, and it got me into drawing. I have season 1 vol 1 which blew my mind that it was released to DVD. But vol 2 was nowhere to be found. Three years later I stumbled upon vol 2. I saw the description saying it was a dvdr and may not playback in all devices. Made me a little nervous, but being the fan I am, I went along with it. When it arrived I was disappointed. It looked like a cheap knockoff. I know it's official from from the company like this, but still. I expected better. The first DVD set released was beautiful and looked like a legit official set. It was worse when I played the DVD. The quality was pretty crappy. It looked like an old film. As I watched more episodes I ignored the spots and lines that would appear. My eyes adjusted to the fuzzy images as well.I wish that the company took better thought into making this item. Yes, the fans demanded it, but it didn't have to come out like this. If there happen to be anymore releases, I open they're better quality than this one.

Not Censored like the Original Series Is. Discs are Burned, Not Pressed.I would have gladly paid $2 more for M-Disc, a burnable disc that would last forever. Instead, they burned the movies on the old-fashioned, purple dye type disc that are only good for around 5 - 7 years. M-Disc last 100s of years. The video and audio quality is excellent on the disc.The Shows are 5 Stars, the Disc 1 Star.This review is for the product I received from Amazon. If you are after a "Pure Movie Review", I recommend the "International Movie Database". There, you will find reviews unrelated to the delivery mechanism.As most people know, the original Johnny quest series on DVD was censored for political correctness. (Unless you bought them on videotape years earlier.)Excellent shows, I enjoy them very much. Johnny is five or six years older than in the original series, he also has a "girlfriend"!

Well the entire case was cracked - was picking shards of broken plastic out of the case. Now for the show itself - wasn't 1/2 bad; the show was a cute reboot of the original 1960's version. Some of the new characters got on my nerves...like Dr. Surd and Rage. Some of the episodes seemed out of order or scattered...but all in all it was a decent attempt on the cartoon.

Quality is okay, but Warner Bros should *really* work on the remastering and release the original high quality one out there. For such an epic series and so much demand, it's sad that both volumes 1 and 2 of only season 1 are only TV quality and not DVD/BluRay quality.

Not the greatest package, but the show is super entertaining.

excellent video
