The first season of Johnny Bravo premiered with a trio of shorts previously aired on World Premiere Toons (later renamed to What A Cartoon!) on July 7, 1997. New episodes began premiering on July 14, 1997, and the season ended on December 15, 1997.
In 1993, creator Van Partible was a student at Loyola Marymount University. He decided to pursue animation, and started work on a senior thesis short film called Mess O' Blues. Partible's animation professor, Dan McLaughlin, presented the completed short film (alongside student films by others) to Buzz Potamkin, a friend of his working at Hanna-Barbera. Soon after, Partible was asked by Ellen Cockrill, one of the heads of development at the studio, if he was interested in pitching a 7-minute cartoon based on the film for their shorts program What A Cartoon! on Cartoon Network. When Partible pitched his polished idea of Johnny Bravo, it was met with some hesitancy until Cockrill and two other women fought to get the project made. Partible produced a total of three shorts for the program from 1995 to 1997: "Johnny Bravo", "Jungle Boy in "Mr. Monkeyman"" and "Johnny Bravo and the Amazon Women". This eventually led to a full first season of Johnny Bravo being green-lit on the network. While Partible had designed Johnny and Jungle Boy, crew member Julian Chaney drew the final designs for Bunny Bravo and Little Suzy, two new main characters for the series.
Writers and crew members on the first season included Butch Hartman (who was a writer and director), Seth MacFarlane, Steve Marmel, and Michael Ryan. Main cast members included Jeff Bennett, Brenda Vaccaro, and Mae Whitman, a then child actor.
Partible wanted the series to be reminiscent of older Hanna-Barbera cartoons. A few writers' room meetings were joined by Joe Barbera himself after he had been acquainted with Partible, however this proved to be too expensive. One H-B veteran, Ed Benedict, was convinced by Partible to come out of retirement to draw and mail out concept art for the show, as long as he was not given any deadlines.
While 'Jungle Boy' was originally planned to be the middle segment between Johnny Bravo shorts, the network was not on-board with the idea. This resulted in 'Johnny Bravo Meets', a series of The New Scooby-Doo Movies-esque episodes featuring Johnny meeting various guest stars, such as Adam West and Donny Osmond. The first of these was "Bravo Dooby-Doo", a Hanna-Barbera crossover which involved Johnny meeting the cast of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!.
This is a list of shorts (or segments) in Season 1:
1.Johnny Bravo (Pilot)
2.Jungle Boy in "Mr. Monkeyman"
3.Johnny Bravo and the Amazon Women
4.Super Duped
5.Bungled in the Jungle
•This season introduced Suzy having a puppy dog crush on Johnny, a concept that was given less focus throughout the series' run, although it made more of a return in Season 4.
•This season included two Scooby-Doo crossovers, the first being "Bravo Dooby-Doo" and the other being a cameo of Scooby in "Twas The Night."
•"The Sensitive Male!" and "Bravo Dooby-Doo" are the only 11-minute shorts in the season. This run-time is not used again until Season 4, where it becomes the show's usual format.
•Both the first and fourth seasons contain a few religious references, as Van Partible went to a Catholic university and some writers such as Butch Hartman were openly Christian. One of the most notable instances during this season is a blind man saying "God bless you." in "Jumbo Johnny".

Season 1. Cocky to the point of being delusional, Johnny Bravo assumes every "little mama" he sees will be good to him. But it's not so, and with his best dweeb friend Carl, little Suzy and other odd characters around, he doesn't stand a chance of succeeding at anything (not that he would have anyway). 1,186 IMDb 7.2 1997 13 episodes.
