Growing up as an avid viewer of Boomerang back in the 2000s, one of my favorite aspects of the channel was the shorts played during commercial breaks. As Boomerang was initially an ad-free network, they were able to fill this time with some great stuff you wouldn't see anywhere else. Chief among these were music videos based on some of the Hanna-Barbera classics, and if you ask me, one of the more memorable ones was "Time is Running Out", based on the original Jonny Quest.
Featuring a redo of the classic theme by the James Taylor Quartet, the video is presented through this lovely board game setting. Dr. Quest has been abducted by an octopus, and it's up to Jonny, Hadji, Race, and Bandit to save him. The song itself is a great update to the original, and the video features all kinds of references and callbacks to the series. Watch it below for the first time, or if you watched Boomerang as much as I did, your millionth.
