What happens

Space Stars is a 60-minute American Saturday morning animated program block produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions and broadcast on NBC from September 12, 1981, to January 8, 1982. Space Stars was narrated by Keene Curtis and featured five cartoon segments each week: Space Ghost (2 segments, 6 minutes each) The Herculoids (1 segment, 10 minutes) Teen Force (1 segment, 7 minutes) Astro and the Space Mutts (1 segment, 7 minutes) Space Stars Finale (1 segment, 7 minutes) The cartoons would occasionally cross over into one another. Space Ghost and The Herculoids both had their own respective series in the 1960s. Teen Force and Astro and the Space Mutts were both new segments, although the Astro character was the family dog from The Jetsons. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
