James Bond
Jr ran for 65 episodes, each approximately 25 minutes in
length, and first aired
on US television
on 16th September 1991.
The show follows the adventures of
a youthful James Bond Jr (nephew of 007) and
his friends as they
simultaneously study at Warfield Academy on the south coast
of England
and tangle with well-known Bond villains. Produced by Murakami Wolf Swenson,
Danjaq and United Artists in cooperation with RLR
Associates, the show was created for syndication aimed
at children's
morning television. As such, apart from the first
episode that sets up the characters
and
back story,
each adventure is stand-alone and can be viewed in
any order.
The series was distributed worldwide for
television by Claster Television and Camelot Entertainment
Group
in
1991, and later by Sony Pictures Television International
from 2006. Abbey Home Entertainment and MGM/UA Home
Entertainment released some episodes of the show on VHS
in the UK and USA respectively.
