Does anyone remember a cartoon in the 60s that had an
adult scientist, his son, and a young assistant the age of the son named Hadji?

11. I think it was supersonic, but aside from that I couldn't say.
I can picture it; I can't believe it's a real plane, though.

Bonus question back at you: You recall Dr Quest, Race Bannon, Jonny, Hadji and Bandit. What was the name of the principal villain?

6. The ORIGINAL Johny Quest
Not that reconstituted ninety's crap show. I grew up watching Jonny's adventures. He was one kick-ass kid!

5. I suggest you watch The Venture Brothers
a great spoof of Johnny Quest, along with super heroes, super spy stuff, etc. Basically, Dr. Venture is a grown up former child action hero with a super scientist dad who is now a pill-popping loser with two loser kids and a hilariously unhinged bodyguard named Brock Sampson. Johnny Quest and others sometimes make guest cameos also.

13. Johnny Quest also gets play on "Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law".
Race sues his "partner" for custody of Johnny.

18. I saw that one
The courtroom is filled with all sorts of former Quest antagonists, including the lizard men and the African natives. It's a riot.

17. Great theme song
The percussion-heavy big band jazz theme music for the 1960s series and each episode's score were all composed by Hoyt Curtin. In a 1999 interview, he stated that the jazz band for the series consisted of 4 trumpets, 6 trombones, 5 woodwind doublers, and a 5 man rhythm section. Alvin Stoller or Frankie Capp usually played drums. While a string section comes in at moments of tension or pizzicato for comic relief, the score is primarily driven by a big brass sound. Curtin stated that the band took about an hour to record the main theme. It contained a trombone solo performed by jazz veteran Frank Rosolino, and a complex riff in which the trombone players were physically unable to keep up with the rapidly changing slide positions needed. Cues in the series were generally recorded in one take, done by a regular group of union session players who could "read like demons". The cues were, of course, later recycled for other Hanna-Barbera series (The Herculoids, The Fantastic Four, Birdman and the Galaxy Trio, etc). (wiki)

19. Thanks. When I went to the YouTube link above, I was
thinking that that was a pretty cool theme song.
