BURBANK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 9, 2004

"The Jetsons: The Complete First Season" and

"Jonny Quest: Season One" Available May 11 For the

First Time Ever on Special Four-Disc Collector Sets

Warner Home Video (WHV) opens its classic vaults to team up with legendary animation studio Hanna-Barbera to premiere two releases in the new "Hanna-Barbera Golden Collection" DVD series featuring the animated series "The Jetsons: The Complete First Season" and "Jonny Quest: Season One." By popular demand, both cult-classic cartoon series will be available May 11, 2004 for the first time ever digitally re-mastered on DVD in a deluxe four-disc collectors set, each featuring over 11 hours of classic original TV programming and newly-added enhanced content, priced to own at $64.92 SRP.

The catchy tune of "The Jetsons" ideally captures the lighthearted essence of the show, a 21st Century futuristic counterpoint to "The Flintstones" that reflected the space-age optimism of the times. "The Jetsons" were the very first family, animated or not, to have a big-screen home entertainment system decades before it became a reality! They lived in the ultra-convenient world of tomorrow with flying cars, floating cities and androids, all commonplace scenery of today's most popular sci-fi blockbusters. The animated series only lasted for one full season, but these original episodes continued to air on the network for over 15 years. Now this beloved series teletransports onto DVD, featuring all 24 hilarious Season One episodes, plus packed with soaring extras, both newly-made and vintage rarities, including:

-- "Rosey the Robot" Commentary by Janet Waldo

-- "A Date with Jet Screamer" Commentary by Janet Waldo

-- "The Jetsons: The Family of the Future" Featurette

-- "Nuclear Family Album" (character bios)

-- "Space Age Gadgets" Featurette

-- "Rosey the Robotic Maid" Featurette

Unlike the outrageous fantasy plots of cartoons that preceded it, "Jonny Quest" drew on science and detective-style logic to solve mysteries and apprehend sophisticated villains. Viewers were transported to exotic locales as Jonny's dad, Dr. Benton Quest, tackled each new government assignment, aided by ex-agent "Race" Bannon, the Indian boy Hadji, family bulldog Bandit ... and of course, his fearless 11-year-old son Jonny (voiced by actor Tim Matheson). Now all 26 classic episodes from Year One charting the fantastic exploits of brave and brainy Jonathan Quest are available for the first time ever in the "Jonny Quest: Season One" deluxe DVD set that is action-packed with bonus features such as:

-- "Quest Files: Fun Facts & Trivia" (over episode "Double

Danger")

-- "Adventures in Animation: A Cartoon Called Quest" Featurette

on Animators

-- "Jonny Quest Video Handbook" (bios on heroes, villains and

locations)

-- "P.F. Flyer Sneaker" commercial (original spot)
