What happens

Godzilla is an American animated monster television series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions in association with Henry G. Saperstein. The series premiered on NBC on September 9, 1978, with the title The Godzilla Power Hour. The series continued to air until 1981, packaged with other series under various titles. The Godzilla Power Hour consisted of half-hour episodes of Godzilla and Jana of the Jungle. A total of 13 original episodes were produced in 1978, with the first eight airing as part of The Godzilla Power Hour. On November 4, 1978, the show was expanded to 90 minutes with the addition of Jonny Quest reruns and retitled The Godzilla Super 90. Split off into its own half-hour, the show aired in its own half-hour timeslot as simply Godzilla on September 8, 1979, and then as The Godzilla/Globetrotters Adventure Hour on November 10, 1979, before another repackaging as The Godzilla/Dynomutt Hour on September 27, 1980, and then The Godzilla/Hong Kong Phooey Hour until its cancellation on May 16, 1981. The series acquired the retronym of Godzilla: The Original Animated Series for its DVD release. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
