Buford and the Galloping Ghost

Buford and the Galloping Ghost is an American Saturday morning animated series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions which aired on NBC from February 3, 1979 to September 1, 1979 on NBC. It contained the following two 15-minute segments:


 * The Buford Files
 * The Galloping Ghost

The Buford Files and The Galloping Ghost originally aired as separate segments on Yogi's Space Race from September 9, 1978 to January 27, 1979 on NBC. Following the cancellation of Yogi's Space Race, both segments were repackaged as one half-hour show.

The Buford Files
Buford is a smart but sleepy bloodhound who lives deep in the murky swamp county of Fenokee. He teams up with two teenagers, Cindy Mae and her older brother Woody, and the trio solves confusing mysteries that baffle Sheriff Muletrain Pettigrew and his overeager, but dimwitted deputy Goofer McGee. Buford's abilities are expanded with ears that revolve like radar dishes, and his nose responds to clues like a geiger counter; he also howls his heart out when the moon comes out and has a running feud with a brown raccoon.

The Galloping Ghost
