Hey Guys,

Sounds alot like the 'Johnny Quest' cartoons of my generation........

You know, Johnny Quest, his Indian (with a turban) buddy Haji, and dog
Bandit.   Adults were:   Dr. Quest (Johnny's old man) and his
assistant/'trouble shooter' Race Bannon.

Adventures around the world, high-tech goodies, etc.
