Space Ghost is an animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions. It first aired on CBS from September 10, 1966 to September 7, 1968. The series was composed of two unrelated segments, Space Ghost and Dino Boy in the Lost Valley. An alternative title, Space Ghost and Dino Boy, is used in official records to differentiate it from Cartoon Network's late-night talk show Space Ghost Coast to Coast. The series was created by Alex Toth and produced and directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera.

[edit] Space Ghost

Space Ghost, along with teenaged sidekicks Jan and Jace and their monkey Blip, fights villains in outer space. Usually Space Ghost's sidekicks would get captured or trapped by the villains and Space Ghost would have to defeat the villains and save the day. His villains included Zorak, Brak and his brother Sisto, Creature King, Black Widow (aka Spider Woman), Lokar, Moltar, and Metallus.

[edit] Dino Boy in the Lost Valley

Dino Boy is a young boy called Todd who parachuted out of a crashing plane with his parents still on board. He lands in an unknown South American valley where dinosaurs, cavemen and prehistoric mammals somehow have survived. Dino Boy then meets the caveman Ugh (who saves Dino Boy from a saber-tooth tiger when he first arrives) and his pet Brontosaurus Bronty who become his friends in the episodes to come.

The Dino Boy segments were similar in many ways to the 1960 film Dinosaurus!, which also features a young boy befriending a caveman and a Brontosaurus.

Ugh appeared in a Cartoon Network Promotional Bumper with Edd from Ed, Edd n Eddy.

• Johnny Carson (who soon reverted to his full name, John David Carson, because of the talk show host) — Todd (Dino Boy)
• Mike Road — Ugh
• Don Messick — Bronty

Episodes[link]

With the exception of the final two half hour shows (the "Council of Doom" episodes), each episode featured two Space Ghost segments with one Dino Boy segment between them.

(The final two half-hour shows only feature Space Ghost. Additionally, they feature cameos from characters that would eventually appear in their own series the following season.)
