SUMMARY:
The Space Kidettes are a group of young space explorers who seek out hidden treasure from Captain Skyhook.  Samson & Goliath featured a teenager named Samson who can transform into a muscled hero with his dog Goliath. The Space Kidettes episodes were later joined with Samson & Goliath to run as a new show Space Kidettes and Young Samson.  The original elements of both shows contained additional animated segments not produced by Hanna-Barbera but by the show’s sponsors. These elements were removed from the show once they paired the episodes together for future syndication and DVD releases.
