Jonny Quest
Doug Wildey's adventure series in primetime, with a big-band theme and a title sequence that shoots at things.
One opening sequence is catalogued for Jonny Quest, covering season 1.
It arrived on ABC in 1964, when The Bugs Bunny Show, ABC's Wide World of Sports and American Bandstand were also on the network.
The opening titles
Season 1
No usable clip kept — the available upload runs the beginning and end credits together rather than the opening alone. The 1996 revival is catalogued separately.
