When I was a kid, this was the coolest 'hero cartoon' I'd ever seen, and I remembered it that way for many years.The space ships, the power bands, the cool white costume ... what a great setup and hero it all made.I'm kind of sad I saw a couple of the original episodes recently on the cartoon network. From an adult standpoint it doesn't hold up as well as other childhood favorites like The Flintstones. Of course, The Flintstones was written for both adult and child audiences, and I'm sure that why it holds up so well.Still, kids that like hero cartoons will probably still get into Space Ghost, Jace and Jan, and Blip.Spaaaaaaaaace Ghooooooooooooost!!!! Hooray!

It's been forty three years since I first heard that Space Ghost was coming this September on CBS. And golly, I just couldn't wait. It was the Summer of 1966. I just turned 12 and Summer vacation was really swell. But after seeing the trailers for the coming Fall line up for Super Saturday, I found myself looking forward to September,even if it meant the return to school.While the new line up looked pretty good, new cartoons and all, the one series that stood out above the rest was SPACE GHOST.SPACE GHOST was even better than we expected. Along with the adventures of Space Ghost as he stood guard over the galaxy from any evil doers who would ever dare cross path with the Space Ghost and his loyal crew, Jan, Jayce and their monkey, Blip, this program also took a distant step into the past with Dino Boy, a boy who got lost in a prehistoric world that was full of danger and exciting adventures, along with a caveman named Ugh, who befriended Dino Boy. Together, the two faced this dangerous world, armed with Dino Boy's cunning, Ugh's brute strength and a mutual affection between the two that would carry them through both good times and bad.Metallus, Brak, Cyclo and the rest of all those intergalactic bad guys have always had it out for our intergalactic super hero. Unfortunately, these bad guys had an Allie that would succeed where they had all failed, namely the PTA, who felt that for any cartoon to be this good, there had to be something wrong.Well it was decided that Space Ghost was too darned violent so the PTA wielded their forces and when they were done, Space Ghost was little more than a shell of what he was in earlier episodes.

This series was (and still is) brilliant! I only saw one episode, but I've already gotten excellent for this one. We have yet another cartoon based on a famous comic-book hero(es), like with Spider-Man and Teenage Mutant Ninja/Hero Turtles. Not to mention that Gary Owens, a famous person to voice superheroes and narrators (even on Garfield and Friends!) voices Space Ghost himself. Rather elusive to find on Cartoon Network, but it's worth finding! This really seems good on tastes of mine along with Garfield, TMNT/TMHT, Pink Panther, and Inspector Gadget.Spaaaaaace Ghooooooost! 9.9999999999999999 out of 10 stars (since I'm hoping to look for more episodes).Really amazing cartoon series!

This show was on before I was even born, but I remember seeing old reruns of it all the time. Boy, does this take me back. It's old cartoons like this that took the place of family and teachers as my primary socialization factor. Thank you for raising me right, TV!
