Space Stars

Space Stars

"Space Stars" was a 1981 NBC Saturday morning cartoon created by Hanna-Barbera which ran from 1981-1982.

Format

"Space Stars" ran four cartoon segments each week: "Space Ghost", "The Herculoids", "Teen Force", and "Astro and the Space Mutts". The cartoons would occasionally cross-over into one another, and Space Ghost and the Herculoids both had their own respective series in the mid-1960s. Teen Force and Astro are both new segments, although the Astro character was originally the family dog from "The Jetsons".

pace Ghost

A total of 22 episodes were produced for "Space Ghost", featuring a new assortment of villains including an evil version of Space Ghost called Space Spectre, who came from an alternate universe. The Phantom Cruiser and its Scout Ship were also given sleeker and more modernized looks. Similar to the original series, Space Ghost often came to the aid of the Herculoids and vice versa. They also frequently crossed paths with the Teen Force, and it appeared that Jan and Teen Force member Kid Comet were dating as well.

The Herculoids

As a departure from the original series, this incarnation of the Herculoids had its roots in science fiction, and had story direction and content similar to "Jonny Quest" and "Space Ghost". This series takes place on a far-away planet named Quasar in the land of Amzot (the planet was only named as such in this series, though Amzot was first mentioned in the "Time Creatures" episode of the original series). Eleven episodes were produced.

Teen Force

"Teen Force" focused on three superhumanly gifted young adults who hail from an unknown alternate universe which is located beyond the confines of the mysterious Black Hole X, which serves as a gateway into the universe in which the other main characters from "Space Stars" exist.

The Teen Force consists of Kid Comet, who can move at speeds exceeding the speed of light, and can even move quickly enough to travel through time; Moleculad, who can control his molecular structure for various effects; and Elektra, who possesses the psionic disciplines of telepathy, telekenesis, and teleportation. Accompanying them are a pair of diminutive blue-skinned aliens named Plutem and Glax, also known as the Astromites. Their principal enemy in the series is Uglor, a mutant native and tyrannical ruler of the planet Uris, whose inhabitants are a race of evolved simians. Uglor's mutancy granted him bird-like wings and the ability to generate destructive lightning-like energy bolts from his eyes.

Astro and the Space Mutts

"Astro and the Space Mutts" featuring Astro, the family dog from the hit show "Jetsons". He teams up with two other dogs named Cosmo and Dipper, lead by their human leader Space Ace. Together, the trio act as galactic police officers.
