* In 1965, the moral advocacy group National Association for Better Radio and Television (NAFBRAT) conducted an appraisal of network TV programming in terms of its acceptability for viewing by children, and it listed Jonny Quest as objectionable, calling it "shoddy." Other content listed as objectionable included The Addams Family, The Munsters, and Rawhide.Doan, Richard K. "Out Of The Air." East Liverpool Review, p. 11, 29 Jan 1965.
