SPACE STARS Cartoon Intro

[Batman2005chicago]

The narrator voice sounds like Green Lantern from Super Friends.

[contratenor]

I've been searching for the name of one of the shows and it is Teen Force. I wish I can watch it.

[blastardinc]

For American cartoons; these were pretty good at the time.

[iwasanangryyoungman]

Space Ace? With Dynomutt rip-offs the Space Mutts? Good thing Tatsunoko didn't sue them for ripping off their own Space Ace character

[onemisterd]

@iwasanangryyoungman - i see your point! keep in mind...there was also another video game character with the same name who had his own cartoon series as well! there are so many characters who share the same name as other well-known fictional characters we all know and love growing up! I particular did not like space ace being included in the space stars line-up! he was more of a comic-relief compared to space ghost, teen force, and the herculoids! space ace should of had his own separate series!

[onemisterd]

@iwasanangryyoungman - the team at hanna-barbera probably didn't know about the name - 'space ace' - being already taken at the time of the show's release! there was also another video-game cartoon hero named 'space ace' being used later on in the 80's era of cartoons!!!

[LordArithon]

Oh damn...I totally forgot how awesome the theme music was. It gave me goosebumps!!!

[onemisterd]

@LordArithon - yeah, i know what you mean! this is how saturday morning cartoons are suppose to look and feel like! they don't make em like this anymore!

[LordArithon]

@onemisterd They haven't made Saturday morning cartoons worth while for over 15 years...it's sad that the kids these days will have no idea what it is like to wake up with excitement early Saturday morning and enjoy themselves till lunch time with adventure and great stories.

[kascnef82]

This year marks the 30th anniversary of this cartoon...it would be nice if WB through its Warner Archive division released it..since it's a rare show that lasted only one season and the last time it was seen in its entirety was on USA's Cartton Express in the 90's. The only Hanna Barbera cartoon that enjoyed great success was the Smurfs that season on NBC, which was co-produced with Sepp SA.

[blackbolt75]

I used to wake up early Saturday mornings to watch this.

[KingNick96]

Space Ghost ftw

[harveysuperboy]

Oh man do I feel old.

[kmcl11]

@harveysuperboy You're 35 right? Born in April?

[harveysuperboy]

@kmcl11 Kay I giving u a chance not to contact me or send me emails,Or put my business out here on Youtube. If you contact me I will go the the police and if I have the the FBI. You've been warned.

[kmcl11]

@harveysuperboy Why? The police dont care about blacks according to you.

[harveysuperboy]

@kmcl11 Kay do you really wanna try me. You don't have any ideal who your messing with.You don't know who I know. You know there are laws for people doing what your doing. Is going to jail worth it? If you don't agree say you disagree.Don't follow me around youtube. Put up your own vid's. People like yourself love to start shit,but run and hide when people standup to folks like yourself.

[kmcl11]

@harveysuperboy There are no laws. You are terribly paranoid. All of our vids are about complaining and racism. You don't scare me. I am an not the runner. You are from your own behavior.

[LB74]

Always liked the Big Bad from the Teen Force. Uglor.

[Josey17]

I like how they showed space ghost first..hes the big daddy of them all. the Avengers aint got nothing on them LOL

[brianblackberry]

Other than the Space Mutts, that actually looked rather cool.

[419Films]

I loved this show! Especially the Herculoids.

[LVSWTZ]

Justice League and The Avegers LOOK OUT LOL!

[philiptwood]

I remember when I'd be bored to death in first grade, my mind would driftt thinking about this show instead of getting my lesson. Great memories.

[dsprks75]

Space Ace = Burt Reynolds



[faceman68]

They should release a lot of this Space Stars. I remember getting up on a lot of Saturdays to watch this series.

[BrooklynChivalry]

This show consisted of 4 new animated segments of Space Ghost (with a remodeled Phantom Cruiser), The Herculoids, The Teen Force (new), and Astro & The Space Mutts (new) that tied into the "Space Stars Finale", where Space Ghost or The Herculoids teamed-up with The Teen Force to help them battle Uglor.

*The best episode of this series is "SPACE SPECTRE" in which Space Ghost meets his evil duplicate counterpart from a parallel universe, much like Star Trek's "Mirror, Mirror" episode.

[leoconvoy]

Classic,i wish they'd show this on Boomerang!!

[BrooklynChivalry]

@leoconvoy

...they used to show them individually seperated from the complete show on Cartoon Network during their Super Adventures block.

[daiklaive]

so Space Ghost interviews all the other characters or something?

jk.

[darrelllatrelllee]

Teen Force!!!

[Johnny2071]

They put the cast of Space Ace with the more serious characters?

[NepperCat]

@Johnny2071 The Space Ace on this show was a different character than the video game.

[Johnny2071]

I was referring to the cartoon character and the fact that his fiends are comic-relief.

[NepperCat]

@Johnny2071 Space Ace didnt seem all too heroic himself, it was more a vehicle for Astro.

[BrooklynChivalry]

@Johnny2071

@NepperCat

Exactly, as this was replaced by a new series of The Jetsons that introduced "Orbity" (now commonly known as "The Jetsons, season 2" even though they were nearly 20 years apart).

[dh1173]

@megobatman If you still have them, I'm interested! e-mail (amdhaze@yahoo.com)

[vtibbs2003]

@megobatman could you email vtibbs2003@yahoo.com for info.

[vtibbs2003]

@megobatman copuld

[vtibbs2003]

@megobatman

[Koldeman]

LOL, nice hair Herculoids.

[madloz76]

60 laser blasting minutes. I could not have said it better myself.

[myfriendcaffeine]

How did i miss this one? Looks good:)

[kempmt1]

This brings back memories from when I was little. Who did the theme song to this cartoon?

[artytoons]

@kempmt1 Hoyt Curtin probably.  He composed most of the Hanna-Barbera cartoon music up to the 1990s.

[msm2you]

@artytoons @kempmt1 Actually it was Ted Nichols who did the score. Nichols tended to use electronica (theramins and the like) while Hoyt Curtain was a brass man. Still I would pay good money to attend a concert featuring the music of both.

[artytoons]

@msm2you

The "Space Stars" series reused a lot of "Super Friends" stock music cues as well. Hoyt Curtin composed many "Super Friends" themes and background music.

Paul DeKorte also composed some Hanna-Barbera music cues in the 1970s until his death in 1985.

[zangazoo2007]

Man I loved these classic shows. It brings a tear to my eye because you will never again see quality shows like this again. Kids of today have been ripped off by dimwitted television execs who feel fart jokes, bad animation, and more CGIng of classics are what kids want to see.

I'm 34 and I can tell you there was a time when cartoons had substance, story lines, and were absolutely fun to watch. Getting up just before 6am on Saturday to watch cartoons is something I will always cherish.

[zzzxxyy]

Can we get new series featuring these characters? Update them, something. Hanna Barbara has been lacking in the cartoon department for years now. The last good thing they did was Samurai Jack.

[wilsonmjw2001]

@zzzxxyy That's because Joe Barbera and Bill Hanna died along with other original animator Iwao Takomoto

[imaginepeace63]

I loved this cartoon. I hated cartoon network did to Space ghost.

[Neoguest]

I hope someone post the Space Star ending credits

[robfergusonjr]

Thanks, I haven't seen this intro since the last episode aired in the ealry 80s ... brings back feeling of wanting to go get a bowl of cereal and then later head to the arcade to play Vanguard or Cosmic Avenger.

[jericho4004]

@robfergusonjr You read my mind man! I could go for a round of Robotron 2084. lol

[MrCampbell80]

@megobatman hit me up with a message and i would love to get a copy from you. Thanks

[albertoalejandro0424]

A sling shot? Not even a knife or something? That guy got last in the weapons give away.

[Nadav34]

I remember this very well.. I esp liked the one where Uglor had a son named Puglor.

[Rtkat3]

Which episode did Uglor's son appear in?

[boru25]

Does anyone have that episode when the Monkey man turns into matter and controls creatures from Herculods? I wanna see it!

[Vlyger]

Come on, Warner Brothers. What are you waiting for? Release this show on DVD. You could at least release the Space Ghost and Herculoids segments, but the whole series would be better.

[hcvang]

@Vlyger They did release Space Ghost... "Space Ghost and Dino Boy" - check amazon.

I mean, this Space Stars stuff is just something they called the programming block, right?

[wilsonmjw2001]

@Vlyger Yeah I know, Warner Bros., When are you going to release this on DVD and even the Flintstone Comedy Hour and The Flintstones Comedy show too

[seacolt]

@Vlyger  You got that right. Wish they would release this on DVD, then I'll sure to get it.

[weirdwatch]

@Vlyger the herculoids was released on Warner Direct, no sign of the rest of the segments though

[carmesundae]

wastheteen forcea spinfffrom space ghost

[Cavillier1970]

No they were a teenage team who mainly fought Uglor. (The winged gorilla who fired lasers) He was used against Space Ghost & the Herculoids too. They were Kid Comet, Electra and Molecule Lad.

[FaytLinegod]

Moleculad.

[Cavillier1970]

Youre right. Been too long since I saw Teen Force

[dmhandy]

This was one of the coolest action cartoons of the 80s !

[brianpadraic]

@dmhandy I think it was seventies.

[jbsmooth2k7]

I could not remember the name of that cartoon show for the life of me. Brings back so many memories.
