The new Quest series, The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest, premiered on all three three major Turner Broadcasting networks (Cartoon Network, TBS Superstation, and TNT), and met with mixed ratings and reviews. The characters were aged, with Jonny, Hadji, and Jessie becoming teenagers, and Dr. Quest and Race entering middle age.

Production on the series had been problem-laden since 1992, and when it was finally broadcast, it featured two different versions of the Jonny Quest universe: the first batch of episodes (referred to as the ?Season One? episodes) gave the Quest team a futuristic look, while the second batch (referred to as ?Season Two?) harkened back to the original 1960s episodes. Several of the ?Season One? adventures in this series took place in a cyberspace realm known as "Questworld", depicted using 3-D computer animation. Regardless of their labeling, both the ?Season One? and ?Season Two? batches of The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest aired during the 1996 ? 1997 television season, and the show was canceled after 52 episodes (26 of each type).

Re-runs of the "classic-era" Jonny Quest can still be seen occasionally on Cartoon Network?s Boomerang channel, while the Real Adventures episodes air in syndication (courtesy of The Program Exchange). The original 1960s run of the series was released to DVD as Jonny Quest: The Complete First Season in 2004.
