31 Uncanny Bits of Terror for October - Day Twenty Five: Hanna-Barbera's Other Ghost Chasing Dog

Scooby-Doo was very successful, so (from 1973 to 1975) Hanna-Barbera decided to steal from itself and present us little kids with yet another ghost chasing dog named, Goober. Goober (who did not suffer from a speech impediment like Scooby) also had a group of teens in tow who investigated ghosts and other supernatural thingies.



What made Goober and the Ghost Chasers  more of a hoot was that unlike Scooby-Doo the ghosts were real!  Also, Goober could make himself invisible when he was scared.  Besides these two factors (and the appearances of The Partridge Kids  in half of the 16 episodes) it is pretty much exactly like Scooby-Doo...

So, yeah, it is awesome!

Check out some excerpts here. 


All 16 episodes are available here for purchase so you can watch the series over and over again!

Note:

Ventriloquist and voice actor Paul Winchell was the voice of Goober.  Winchell's daughter, April, makes me laugh nearly every day with her website, Regretsy.
