Goober and the Ghost Chasers

Goober and the Ghost Chasers is a Saturday morning cartoon produced by Hanna-Barbera and animated by the Eric Porter Studios in Australia, which aired from September 8, 1973 to August 30, 1975. A total of 16 half-hour episodes of Goober and the Ghost Chasers were produced. The show's episodes were later serialized as part of the syndicated weekday series Fred Flintstone and Friends in 1977. Similar to Hanna-Barbera's successful Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, Goober and the Ghost Chasers also features a group of teenagers solving spooky mysteries with their dog Goober. The Ghost Chasers use their equipment from the Apparition Kit (like the Spector Detector, the Poltergeist Powder, etc.) when it comes to determining whether the ghost is real or not. The major differences were that the ghosts they eventually find are real and would help in defeating the fake ghosts. Some of those people behind the mask of some fake are not criminals. Goober had the power to become invisible when he was scared by the ghosts and his closest human companion is reckless instead of cowardly. Also unlike Scooby-Doo, Goober can talk more clearly.

The cartoon show features the voices of Paul Winchell as Goober. Jerry Dexter as Ted. Jo Ann Harris as Tina. And Ronnie Schell as Gilly.
