Plot summary: Jonny was the star of the hit TV show "The Adventures of Jonny Quest."  In said adventures, Jonny trots the globe with his widowed father, a well-built bodyguard and "friend", a brown-skinned boy from Bombay, and his retarded-ass dog, Hadji.  The plotline for every single episode consisted of the Quest Team traveling to a dangerous, remote location, giving Jonny access to vehicles and guns, and saying OH YEAH I ALMOST FORGOT DON'T HAVE ANY ADVENTURES.  Like that fucking monkey in Space Ghost, Jonny often serves as a deus ex machina via his wacky escapades. In 1996, the Hanna-Barbera cashed in on the Internet age by re-launching the show as "The REAL Adventures Of Jonny Quest", which displeased many fans of the show who resented the possibility the the original series may not have taken place in real life.  "The REAL adventures" often took place in QuestWorld, a virtual-reality world that had some sort of ambiguous ties to the Internet.  In QuestWorld, CyberJonny and friends walked around in huge wireframe landscapes while dodging simple geometric objects such as conic figures and spheres.(more)

User Comments: They just couldn't leave Jonny in his little world of homosexual innocence, could they?  The 1996 version completely pissed on the original.  Back in the good old days, when I was negative 18 years old, Jonny and friends would go around toppling Asian masterminds and killing mummies.  In "The REAL adventures", Jonny spends almost all his time in a poor man's Matrix.  This was back when "virtual reality" was defined as "drawing three-dimensional objects."  The creators seemed to hope that the shitty voice acting and failure to capture the spirit of the original show could be compensated by their ability to use their CADD program to draw objects isometrically.
