Production notes
Although the end credits have a 1981 copyright date (so as to it coinciding with the 1981-82 season it finally became part of), it should be known that this series was slated to be part of the NBC 1980-81 Saturday morning lineup. Due to the actors' strike of 1980, it was held back until the 1981-82 season. Additionally, had the series aired in the 1980-81 season as originally intended, it was also to show the various "Space Science" bumpers before and after most segments (Space Mystery, Space Mix, Space Code, et al), another new Herculoids episode, as well as edited Jetsons reruns.
When shown in syndication as a 30-minute series, there were two versions of this show: the USA Cartoon Express reruns had one segment each of Space Ghost, Teen Force and The Herculoids while on Nickelodeon, the Teen Force segments were substituted with Astro & the Space Mutts segments.
