This was my favorite, Jonny Quest. Originally on prime time, 7:30pm on ABC in September of 1964. Although a huge success, it was cancelled after just one season. It appeared on NBC and CBS, making it one of the few shows to air on the 3 major networks.
When it moved to Saturday mornings, some watchdog group made them edit out a lot of the violence and shooting. I think these scenes are lost forever. A shame, cause it wasn't intended to be a kids cartoon, but a prime time series.
I was just turning 5 when this aired, and I totally remember this. I had the decoder ring from PF Flyers! I'm not sure if Bandit is a pug, cause he doesn't have the coiled tail. One of the few animated dogs of the era who didn't talk.
