WOW! Bringin back some memories there! Thanks for finding and posting that. Now my grandkids have a purple dinosaur and four gay teletubbie thingies in pastel outfits to watch. Sigh......
LOVE God, LOVE your family, LOVE your country, LIKE guns and sports.
About 2016 team "R" candidates "We definitely need a crew with a sack of balls the size of hot water bottles, bloviated estrogen leaking feel-gooders need not apply." Gunner 500
Johhny Quest was a TV ripoff of the famous Tom Swift book adventures. I read every single Swiftie and loved them. As a fledgling gunnut, I distinctly recall "Tom Swift and his Electric Rifle."
Tom Swift and his Flying Lab was the first book that I ever read cover to cover.
Johnny Quest... I watched that every time ...always shooting they were!! I got them on vhs/dvd now ...as I kid I read the tom swift books good stuff! the "newer version" of tom swift was a waste tho
BLUE DUCK - "Anyone else remember Gunsmoke and the SixShooter on the radio? two famous T.V. and Movie stars were the narrators. Anyone remember who they were?"
William Conrad was the voice of "Matt Dillon" on the radio show, Gunsmoke. Later Conrad played the lead in Cannon, and afterward starred in Jake and the Fat Man.
I don't know which actor's voice was used on Six Shooter, as I never heard the show.

"Always go straight forward, and if you meet the devil, cut him in two and go between the pieces." (William Sturgis, clipper ship captain, 1830s.)
In today's world, Race Bannon would probably be cast as Dr. Benton C. Quest's bodyguard and "traveling companion", no need for a sleazy Asian women named "Jade" to distract Race from his primary interest. That said, Race was a heck of a pilot, once landing a jet on an abandoned cargo ship in the Java Sea.
You can probably buy the Jonny Quest series on DVD if you want to trip back down memory lane. I tried that with the Rocky & Bullwinkle series and found it to be a bummer, even the shows within the show, Fractured Fairy Tales and Peabody & Sherman, were lame beyond belief.
Do you guys remember "The Time Tunnel" where the two guys were lost in an Army time travel experiment. They would fall out of the sky at the beginning of each episode, almost always in the middle of some really significant historical event. My favorite was when they landed at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 6th 1941 and one of the guys encountered himself as a child. Scared the schit out of his young self. Sci-Fi channel used to rerun some episodes about 10-15 yrs. ago.
King and his niece, Penny (and sometimes Clipper, his nephew), live on the Flying Crown Ranch, near the (fictitious) town of Grover, Arizona. Penny and Clipper are also pilots, although they are inexperienced and look to their uncle for guidance. Penny is an accomplished air racer and rates as a multi-engine pilot, whom Sky trusts to fly the Songbird. In the third TV episode, Penny refers to Clipper as "my brother."
One shot, one kill........ It saves a lot of ammo!
