It’s a show called “The Roman Holidays,” but I had no idea there was a regular character in a 1970s Hanna-Barbera TV series whose whites of the eyes and irises were colored differently. I thought there hadn’t been any since JQ.
There are examples like Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy and The Alvin Show, but when it comes to animated series from before JQ that depict single-father households, I think Peabody is the one that most closely matches JQ’s approach.
"Oliver & Company"—come to think of it, aside from propaganda films made during World War II, wasn't that the only Disney film up to "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" in which an automatic pistol appeared?
Jada Toys Scooby-Doo Wave 2: Scooby, Sea Demon, & Spooky Space Kook will go up for preorder Monday (7/20) at noon ET on Entertainment Earth, BBTS, & GameStop.
@Johnny97238954 I’d be happy with any JQ merchandise, but does youtooz also carry merchandise for comic books and animated works from before the ’70s—other than Peanuts?

@ZeroFeminine That's right. Few American animated TV series were as visually spectacular as the original JQ. This series was a pioneer in the Hanna-Barbera action-adventure genre, as well as in its portrayal of realistic human characters.
@JQscreens Man there really was nothing quite as visually striking as Jonny Quest back in its day, wasn’t there? People tend to praise the atmosphere of Scooby Doo when it comes to art direction but JQ really was just as strong.
@darren_Heideman To begin with, I don't think Americans had much exposure to Ishinomori's works back in the mid-1960s. After all, 1964 was the year Cyborg 009—Ishinomori's life's work—first began.
To be honest, from a modern perspective, I think there are many scenes in the original JQ that, while not quite TV-14, would still be considered intense for a TV-Y7-FV rating.
By the way, I get the impression that TNA (1986 series) is rated TVG. I think that’s appropriate.
When it comes to the ratings for reruns of the original JQ, the TV-Y7-FV rating is very strongly associated with the show, but depending on the network or episode, it’s sometimes TV G. I wonder if there are any JQ fans out there who’ve looked into this in detail.
@darren_Heideman I’m mainly a fan of Ishinomori through his manga and anime adaptations, but since Sentry is a character from 1965, JQ came out much earlier.
