It was previewed on December 30, 2000 on Cartoon Network, before a formal airing on September 2, 2001 on the launch of their late-night programming block, Adult Swim. It was written by Michael Ouweleen and Erik Richter, the series creators, along with Pete Johnson and Steve Patrick, and directed by J.J. Sedelmaier.

Detailed summary
Memorable quotes
Robot Race: I'm taking the boys, Benton, and there's not a damn thing you can do about it.
Dr. Quest: You see, my longtime partner is challenging me for custody of my boys.
Harvey: How long has she--.
Dr. Quest: He. He's my traveling companion. We go on adventures together in steamy jungles and the like.
Harvey: I'll take the case! But first I need to speak to the boys. What are their names?
Dr. Quest: Of course, their names. Certainly. Well, uh... Yes. Well, there's a blond one... The blond one who's name is... Oh, come on, Benton.
Harvey: Dr. Quest, tell us a little about your relationship with--.
Dr. Quest: Well, Race and I met one night.
Harvey: With your boys.
Harvey: I want you to know your father loves you both very much.
Jonny: But he throws like a girl.
Harvey: So did Martina Navratilova, but that doesn't mean she wasn't macho in many other important ways.
