YOUNG SAMSON AND GOLIATH Cartoon Intro

[adriankeibord2]

Nossa esse desenho era muito legal!eu ja tinha me esquecido dele. Poxa o tempo passa mesmo mas o youtube faz voltar.

[margarida179]

Adorava esse desenho! Mistura história e ficção científica!

Fantásticos Hanna Barbera!

[Caligula138]

Holy Crap! i remember this!

[SuperCartiel]

That's toons for ya. Try to expect the unexpected.

In modern times, Goliath would've become an Arcanine, a Houndoun, or Saberwulf. I don't see how a dog could become a lion. Never did understand that.

Still, it was all fun to watch.

[ericinwisconsin]

Ok, Sampson becomes a gay superhero. I get that. But changing the dog into acat? That's just WRONG! :)

[cajun812]

It was what it was, and I look back on these childhood shows without any regret. They were great times to be a kid, even when we went without! Love em all!

[KCOliver1960]

It is out on DVD, unfortunately the Space Kiddettes come with it.

[salanh]

strange question. How come this cartooon was not included in Hanna Barbara's World of Super Adventure? It would seem a natural fit...

[xavierkun1]

parece un heman biblico jaja

[Keven19741]

The He-Man of the 60's

[PanzerNils]

A gay super hero, so where's the new part?

[SHACE08]

Reminds me of MIGHTOR

[Tigerman1138]

I remember this! I spent about ten minutes on Google to find this cartoon and then I knew I'd find it on Youtube! That is what Youtube is for: reliving memories! I am 32, remember seeing this about 25 years ago. I had to see it again. Thank you for uploading it and thanks for the memories.

[bushmaster80]

Good God, isn't TV crap when you remember it?

[garotaquepensa]

HE-MAN!!!

[CosmicFunkOSMOSIS]

@garotaquepensa

Actually PREDATES "He-Man" by 16 years. Hanna-Barbera was way ahead of the curve (and Filmation--"He-Man"'s 'home'--was still only 2 years old.).

[garotaquepensa]

@CosmicFunkOSMOSIS Nice!!!

[takiniteasy100]

Regular house cats suck thats why they didnt have one of those turn into the lion. This cartoon is from back in the day. A boy and his pet cat=gay.

[SourcererZ]

I never seen this cartoon but after watching the intro now I know where the He-Man creators got the ideas for their main characters.

[MRJACKSON19581]

A dog turns into a cat *sigh ..But WHY?

I used towatch this as a kid.LOVED IT! They banned it off YOUTUBE once cause of copyrights.

[kidfall1]

ok so a lion can use his hind legs as a catapult...i need to try that with my pet lion

[Azteck9]

The who people who create he man got their idea from the show

[yellowcougar18]

So, lemme get this straight, Samson's super power is to transform into a gayer version of himself?

And I have the same questions everyone regarding the whole "Dog into Lion" trick.

[fromthesidelines]

General Mills was the primary sponsor (and OWNER) of the series when it originally aired on NBC; when they began syndicating it in the '70s, through their ad agency's "DFS Program Exchange", they usually added several of their other sponsored/owned cartoons produced by Total Television in the '60s {"Go-Go Gophers", "Klondike Kat", et. al.} as "filler".

[KAKALXLAX]

a dog becaming lion? a cat would suited better

[yellowcougar18]

@KAKALXLAX

TV seems to be all about A boy and his dog, versus a boy and his cat.

Seems we'll have to blame Lassie for that one.

[Akira625]

@KAKALXLAX Or maybe the dog should've turned into a wolf.

[CosmicFunkOSMOSIS]

@Akira625

Only problem is, as badass and noble wolves truly are, back then they were portrayed as scraggly and slobbery. Hell, the ONLY heroic wolf I knew during that time was in the Sunday Comics: The Phantom's pet wolf, Devil. They NEVER made a cartoon out of The Phantom during the '60s (wish they would've, though), but if they did, they probably would've turned Devil (a beautiful looking wolf, at that) into something like a Husky or German Sheppard (like they did in the 1940's serial).

[kirkindog]

Rememger Watchung This As A Kid. Didnt Really Get It, But Always Loved It, Really Cool Intro, Loved The Music.

[merlinforever]

Another Classic Cartoon Theme... Loved this Cartoon.

[MagyarRockerHonved]

that was the gayest thing ever !!!

[TimeBolt]

@MagyarRockerHonved Just tell your self I'm a moron over and over again.

[MightySaturn5]

@Carycomic , lol -I remember the same thing, Sunday mornings (in repeats), probably around 70'-71'

[Lfdjake91]

I remember seeing this cartoon as a kid, but I don't recall ever seeing the intro for it before.

[MissCrow86]

I used to watch this every frickin day on USA Cartoon Express in the 80s, man that was a great time to be a kid!

[Tigerman1138]

@Dibrini USA Cartoon Express! I watched that! I remember it in the 80s! What a great time to be a kid indeed!

[CosmicFunkOSMOSIS]

The thing that always killed me was the transformation: Samson became a stronger version of himself, while Goliath--his DOG--turned into a LION. Waddup?! Been trying to figure that out ever since. LOL!

[tommieturner23]

I was watching that since I was a kid and pretended my dog and I were Samson and Goliath, yet I never thought about the fact that a dog turned into a cat until you guys pointed it out.

[megalomania345]

@CosmicFunkOSMOSIS

from canine to feline ^^

from dragon to slayer :P

[psDasha21]

@CosmicFunkOSMOSIS is funny a dog that turnes into a CAT a big Cat.

[kohstamojahn]

[Adjuni]

FINALLY! Now I know what this show was called. I have had that wristband smash in my head for years but I could never figure out what show it was from.

Plus: A DOG that becomes a CAT?!! How demeaning (For the cat)

[dugallen]
