I have to say during the Holiday season in the mid 90s I always looked forward to watching the illustrious Bond as a Cartoon on ITV that made the mornings worth while. Unlike the other crude cartoons of the time which were superficial or just ludicrous this one was well written with action and entertainment for children. Though loosely based on James Bond the programme delivers good thrilling entertainment and the same cold war rivalry amongst the familiar but reinvented villains in global politics that was not complex and that was exotic done with a variety of interesting and diverse characters that also brought humour in to the series. James Bond as is well known was a ladies man but this was sanitised in the cartoon to romance and the formula worked as it was also part of the story and there was an interesting character every episode that made it well worth watching. My verdict on the series is that it is an intelligent series with a well written and sophisticated lead that instead of just being fashionable was genuinely entertaining and thrilling. I also think after Timothy Dalton when the era in which the zenith of Bond was coming to an end this would of been a good finalising series to Ian Flemings brand as it modestly required so. It was also done at the right time rather then just exhausting the classic character from Goldeneye onwards this cartoon to me is the seal

If James Bond is his uncle and not his father, then why is he named James Bond JR.? Does that make any sense? Does this cartoon make any sense? It's not worth watching folks. Good theme song though.
... View More"Bond...James Bond...Junior!"UGH. And they say TIMOTHY DALTON was the worst thing to come to the James Bond franchise!From the team that neutered the Ninja Turtles comes this contrived series about the exploits of...uh...JAMES BOND'S NEPHEW?! Oh boy...Bond Jr. so happens to go to a private school which SO HAPPENS to have relatives of Q and Ms. Moneypenny as classmates. Bond Jr. always finds a way out of school and goes on contrived adventures against foes like Jaws and Oddjob (who tries to dress in a PINK AND PURPLE JUMPSUIT?!) and other poorly designed versions of James Bond's rogue's gallery. And of course, Bond Jr. gets 'help' from a different chick each episode.I guess since the Muppets had their Babies and Shaggy & the Gang had a Pup named SCOOBY DOO, the idiots in charge of this tripe had to make a Junior out of Mr. Bond, with laughable results.Horrible animation, horrible character designs, pathetic stories, and a STUPID & UNORIGINAL CONCEPT, James Bond Jr. is a series best left forgotten.
