Fan Page: SPACE STARS

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

Space Stars is the show *I* like to call "The show you forgot that you loved but trust me you loved it". SPACE GHOST, HERCULOIDS, GALAXY TRIO and ASTRO & THE SPACE-MUTTS!!! As the announcer will warn you, get ready for sixty lazer-blasting minutes of ADVENTURE!

I am seriously surprised that I am the ONLY PERSON who has voted for this cartoon over in our Best Cartoon of 1981 Poll. Surely you have some recollections or memories of this show? C'mon, show some love!

Do you know how long it ran? I don't ever remember this cartoon. I was born in 80.
Man, I love Space ghost!

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

There's my problem... you were born too late! Space Stars ran for two seasons, 1981 to 1982. If you like Space Ghost you'll LOVE The Galaxy Trio!

I enjoyed the Space Ghost revival, though, I miss Zorak. Heh.

Besides, can't beat the Galaxy Trio.

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

I don't think there are many things I loved more than Space Ghost Coast To Coast, and the memories of the original show are what made it just that much better :)

Galaxy Trio FTW! I was always bummed that they didn't make any toys out of them :(

Funny you mention C2C, as I've been watching them on YouTube, lately. Pre-Adult Swim, nothing funnier. The Joel Hodgson one would be my absolute favorite. And, yes, the originals have their charm, as well. I miss Moltar, too. Heh.

Indeed, although, I thought they did in the mid-to-late 2000's? I know they did with Ghost and the Herculoids.

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

Wait, did what? That last sentence isn't making sense! They showed reruns of the 1980's Space Ghost and Herculoids on the wee-early AM hours of Cartoon Network before Adult Swim became a thing, is that what you're talking about? They played all sorts of awesome cartoons from like 2am till 5am for a while, maybe that's what you're talking about?

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

Ahh, the toys :) Nope, no Galaxy Trio for me :(

[dark-weezing.livejournal.com]

Well, maybe they will. Who knew they've ever make a Zorak or Moltar figures? Give it time.

Oh, yeah, new member and stuff, as I never got around to introducing myself and all that. Heh.

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

That's okay, we don't do New Member Intros in this community :)

Well, there are times where I do one, and there are times I just jump right in. I decided to do the latter. Heh. Besides, it's a dying form of art, even as soon as 20 years ago. The current fare just isn't the same, so might as well the recall the good times, instead, right?

Besides, I got my 80's toon icon, Soundwave, so I'm covered. Heh.

[dark-weezing.livejournal.com]

Oh, sorry, I meant the action figures line. I know they made Space Ghost and the Herculoids, but I wasn't sure about the Trio. Sorry.

Although, I do recall CN did show those old reruns for a while in the late 90's, which was really nice. Especially for fun comparions with the villains, like who knew Brak was one-time competent? Heh.

That's okay. I usually make sense, except for those times when I don't. Heh.

Hmmm, the cartoon doesn't look familiar at all, but some of the characters certainly do, maybe from one of the other cartoons you mention? I was born in 1982, but would have seen dubbed (re)runs.

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

Maybe... I think that the Space Stars cartoons spent a few years in The 80's Cartoon Graveyard, aka "USA Network's Cartoon Express"

[dark-weezing.livejournal.com]

Don't remind me, as I miss the Cartoon Express. How else was I able to catch up on my Ninja Turtles and Smurfs?

[broken-skai.livejournal.com]

Hey!! I remember this! Kid Comet, Moleculad, Electra... Teenforce was awesome. So was Space Ghost. The Herculoids annoyed me though. Astro and the Spacemutts? I must've been watching reruns on cartoon express where they didn't show the Astro/Spacemutts bit.

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

I, too, always assumed that Astro & The Space-Mutts were just an imaginary tale. But I have been assured that it DID show on Saturday mornings in the 1980/1981 season! Maybe it was some sort of cross-promotion copyright problem between them and the Jetsons or something, who knows?
