Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was Jonny Quest's father's name?

Answer: Dr. Benton Quest

Dr. Benton Quest was a brilliant scientist, a kind of renaissance man - dabbling in biology, physics, electronics and able to handle himself like a secret agent.

2. Jonny Quest's father had a memorable physical characteristic. What was this?

Answer: Red hair and beard

Dr Quest's bright red hair and beard were his most notable physical attributes. Of course, his intellectual prowess was key to the show.

3. A bodyguard, Roger Bannon, is part of the "Jonny Quest" cast. What was his nickname?

Answer: Race

The government feared that Jonny would be sought after by evil-doers hoping to distract his scientist father. So, Race Bannon was hired to protect and mentor young Jonny.

4. Who was the voice behind the character, Jonny Quest?

Answer: Tim Matheson

While all the "Tims" supplied as answers are well-known celebrities, it was Tim Matheson who voiced Jonny. He did so at age 17.

5. Who was the Indian boy who was part of the Quest family?

Answer: Hadji

Dr. Quest met Hadji while lecturing at Calcutta University. Hadji was a sort of street urchin and managed to save Quest's life. Quest then adopted Hadji. This can all be seen in a flashback during the episode, "Calcutta Adventure".

6. What was the name of Jonny Quest's pet bulldog?

Answer: Bandit

Bandit often brought comic relief to the sticky situations in which the Quest team found themselves. He was mostly white and the dark patches around his eyes made him appear as if he were wearing a bandit's mask.

7. Who was the Quests' arch enemy?

Answer: Napoleon Zin

Dr. Napoleon Zin, the Asian mad scientist, was reminiscent of James Bond's villain, Dr. No. In fact, the wrong answers supplied to this question are all Bond villains. Zin appeared in multiple episodes, the only "bad guy" to do so.

8. How many episodes were made for the original "Jonny Quest" series?

Answer: 26

Yes, only 26 episodes (one full television season) were made. It probably seemed like more, didn't it?

There were several incarnations of the series made later on (the mid-1980s brought "The New Adventures of Jonny Quest" and later, "The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest" on the Turner networks.

9. What magical incantation was used from time to time for fun, but also to get the boys out of trouble?

Answer: Sim Sim Salabim

Hadji used the incantation "Sim Sim Salabim" for fun and magic, as well as for helping him (and Jonny of course) get out of trouble spots. Some of Hadji's tricks were more than a little incredible and somewhat hard to believe.

10. Many of the adventures had scenes at the Quests' island home. What was the name of the island?

Answer: Palm Key

Palm Key was included, if only briefly, in many of the "Jonny Quest" episodes. There is an actual island named Palm Key just off the southern tip of the Florida mainland, about three miles southeast of the small town of Flamingo. It's not in the classic chain of "Key" islands, is uninhabited and accessible only by boat. A perfect place for the Quest guys!
