I remember really liking JQ in Kindergarten/first Grade with "Turn The Terrible" (Giant pterodactyl shown in the credits), although being frightened by some episodes, especially the Mummy, The Invisible Monster and the old Nazi. Found some VHS's
in the 90's at my local video store and found they still held up.
In Adult hindsight, I would have to admit the show is pretty racist -all the Villains , for the most part, are Asian, African or Latino, along with a smattering of Slavic as well. Must remember The Cold War was quite intense during that time and Vietnam was beginning to heat up. Also, despite technology available, the World was still a larger place than it is now.
Lots of Cool gadgetry, especially the Flight packs and "Race" is a true Bad-Ass! One thing for sure, I would leave "Bandit" in a kennel; he's truly more of a hindrance than a help. Reminds Me a lot of Spritle and Chim-Chim from SPEED RACER.
LOVED SR in Fourth Grade, but unlike JQ, it has not aged well

LOL! Yep, Bandit is the Spritle/Chim-Chim of JQ.
Yes! I loved both of these cartoons. I loved SR since I was probably 5. I've seen a few over the last 2 years, and some hold up pretty well, but probably not as much as JQ.
Do you remember the cartoons, Prince Planet (played TV mid 60s into early 70s on UHF stations in Chicago) and Battle of the Planets (1978-1985)? The former you probably saw as a kid. The later was very good (IGN 44th best animated series) but may have been after your time.
