Link o' the Day: Classic Johnny Quest



Today is "Christmas in March"--if Christmas were a DVD release date. Longtime readers know that I'm a big fan of Adult Swim's The Ventutre Bros. and today, at long last, is the DVD release of season three. I actually went and reviewed season three a month ago basing my review on memories of the initial broadcasts and catching some episodes online or on-Demand. I wonder if I'll want to change my review? Doubtful.

But yeah, I'm happy.

Rumor has it...Venture Bros. supporting character Dr. Henry Killinger and his Magic Murder Bag is not based on Dr. Henry Kissinger, but rather actor Steve Buscemi.




Another shocking short entry today. Why is it on days I want to wake up early, I sleep late--and days I wouldn't mind oversleeping, I'm invariably up hours before I need to be? Fortunately, yesterday was a very productive day so I'm still on schedule, and today doesn't look o'erwhelming by any means.

So I'm not going to keep you. Let's move on to..

Today's link takes you to Classic Johnny Quest, a fun homebrew website dedicated to the classic animated series Johnny Quest--the original series, mind you--which was part of the inspiration behind the above-mentioned Venture Bros.. You can still catch episodes of Johnny Quest on the Boomerang Network and for pure pulp fun, I'd say they still hold up well. They were made in a different era, so be prepared for the bad guys actually being killed--as well as the occasional innocent bystander.

Cheers!
