As Hanna-Barbera created the action/adventure genre for cartoons in the 1960s with JONNY QUEST, SPACE GHOST set it off for their superhero line. The voice acting is classic, and the character designs by Alex Toth stands the test of time. The DINO BOY shorts are watchable, too, but SPACE GHOST sets it off. The COUNCIL OF EVIL arc closed out the first season nicely, not to mention introduces three other series from the H-B line that, God willing, Warner Bros. DVD will release sometime in the near future:
HERCULOIDS
SHAZZAN!
MOBY DICK & THE MIGHTY MIGHTOR
Until then, I will have to seek out the bootlegs on iOffer.com. Let's hope that some exec at Warner Bros. home video division will get wise and release these other gems by H-B and Alex Toth in its restored glory, with extras and commentary to boot.

I was thrilled when I heard that Birdman and Space Ghost were being released - with all episodes complete. Some have not been overtly thrilled by the packaging but seriously who cares? Be happy that these are being released! Space Ghost holds up well (as do the other great Hanna-Barbera cartoons of the era)and you have to watch them in their context. The price is right - great value for money; much better than some other retro stuff that comes out ridiculously priced AND not always complete. (I love the way they call some of those releases 'definitive').
Let's hope that we see like-releases of Herculoids, Shazzan, etc. Bring it all back - hopefully they're starting to get it right: complete episodes, simple packaging and low cost.

What can you say about a 1960's cartoon series? Well, the title says it all.."It is just as I remember." What that means is it is a fun and simple series that does not pretend to be anything more than Saturday morning entertainment. I have purchased this series as well as the original Jonny Quest series (excellent,btw) and found them both to be very enjoyable. If you remember watching Space Ghost as a child, then I have no trouble telling you to purchase the DVD set.

I just received this DVD from Amazon. The transfer of video to DVD is very clean. The cartoons are set up just like they aired on television originally. It plays one Space Ghost episode followed by a Dino Boy episode and then a final Space Ghost episode. You can go to the menu and select a specific cartoon you want to watch or play all. My only complaint is the packaging. The discs are dual-sided and the first disc lies halfway on top of the second disc. I can see them getting scratched up if they are not handled very carefully! Also, if you want to watch the second disc, you have to take out the first disc first. Other than that, it is a great collection and I'm very pleased to finally have these cartoons in my collection.
