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.
