History Trivia / SpaceGhost

* GenreKiller: After MoralGuardians put a stop to this show for its supposed violent influence, Creator/HannaBarbera laid off the action/adventure cartoons for a while. Desperate for new non-violent programming, Hanna Barbera scrambled to create a show about people solving problems with their wits instead of their fits. [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo The rest is, like, history, man.]]

* RecycledAnimation: The shot of deep space from the first few seconds of the show's opening are taken directly from the first few seconds of ''WesternAnimation/TheJetsons''' opening, though the shot cuts off sooner in ''Space Ghost'' (so it never gets to Earth).

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: For the longest time, the original ''Space Ghost'' was relatively hard to find, thanks in part due to CBS pulling reruns of the series in 1968 after MoralGuardians claimed that it (along with multiple other superhero cartoons from around this time period) was too violent, alongside being overshadowed by ''WesternAnimation/SpaceGhostCoastToCoast'' upon the latter's premiere in 1994. Additionally, the few [=VHS=] tapes containing episodes of the show have since been long out-of-print, and reruns on Cartoon Network and Boomerang had ceased by 2007. Fortunately, this would ultimately be subverted that same year when Warner Home Video released ''Space Ghost & Dino Boy: The Complete Series'' on DVD, with its Warner Archive unit reissuing the DVD set in 2017 and releasing a fully-remastered Blu-ray set of their own in October 2020.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Good luck finding any episodes. [=WarnerMedia=] has no plans to re-release the series. This show was very short-lived and has been almost entirely forgotten due to MoralGuardians claiming that it was violent, as well as being overshadowed by ''WesternAnimation/SpaceGhostCoastToCoast'' upon the latter's premiere in 1994. The show had reruns on Cartoon Network and Boomerang back in the 1990s and early 2000s, but it's long since gone off the air. Very few episodes were released on [=VHS=], and those tapes have long since been out-of-print.
** Subverted as of 2007, when Warner Home Video released ''Space Ghost & Dino Boy: The Complete Series'' on DVD. A Blu-ray set was also released in October 2020.

* NamesTheSame: Spider-Woman (no relation to the [[ComicBook/SpiderWoman Marvel superheroines]]). And to make matters even more complicated, in her next appearance she was now called ComicBook/BlackWidow.

** A DVD set of the full 60s series is pretty easy to find.
