User Reviews

For a kid, super cool

When I was a kid, this was the coolest 'hero cartoon' I'd ever seen, and I remembered it that way for many years.

The space ships, the power bands, the cool white costume ... what a great setup and hero it all made.

I'm kind of sad I saw a couple of the original episodes recently on the cartoon network. From an adult standpoint it doesn't hold up as well as other childhood favorites like The Flintstones. Of course, The Flintstones was written for both adult and child audiences, and I'm sure that why it holds up so well.

Still, kids that like hero cartoons will probably still get into Space Ghost, Jace and Jan, and Blip.

Spaaaaaaaaace Ghooooooooooooost!!!! Hooray!
