Talk:Space Ghost (TV series)

Fair use rationale for Image:Spaceghost.jpg

Image:Spaceghost.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 08:29, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

...and Dino Boy is wrong

I offer dispute to this article being titled "Space Ghost and Dino Boy." As the text admits, this is not the title that appears on-screen. The claim that the longer version is used on official records to differentiate it from Space Ghost Coast to Coast is absurd, as the two titles are different enough as is, and this series precedes the pseudo-talk show by nearly 30 years! Much more plausible is the theory that SG&DB was a working title that was shortened late in the proverbial day. In any event, the fact that this is not and never has been the on-screen title of the series which is the subject of this article eliminates it--absolutely, IMHO--from qualifying to be the name of the article. Give it a redirect, sure, but no more than that, with "Space Ghost (TV series)" here, to differentiate it from the article on the character. Ted Watson (talk) 22:09, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

It has been well over a year and nothing has been said, let alone done. I stand by everything in my previous post as completely accurate (though I note and apologize for some degree of anger in my tone there; really sorry, and I wonder what else was going on with me at that time), and am on a final countdown to "move the article" (read: change the title). Let me elaborate on the central point here: With a TV series or movie, what goes up on-screen is the finished product, and its contents are the final decision of the producers. This is, by definition, more official than anything one could find anywhere else. There are exceptions, I freely admit, but none of them apply here. Furthermore, if in fact there is any validity to the reason given in the article (and repeated in my earlier post immediately above) for the last three words, then it was done decades after the original run and certainly should not be used as the title of the article. Admittedly, above I said I didn't believe it at all, but it is still in place. I honestly cannot see any valid argument for the current title over Space Ghost (TV series), Space Ghost (cartoon series) or something else along those lines (leaving this as a redirect, of course). Until the first of June, fellow Wiki-editors. --Ted Watson (talk) 21:52, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

It is now June 1, there has been no dispute of the above, so I am "moving the article" as promised. --Ted Watson (talk) 19:43, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

"Space Ghost is almost the exact opposite of Dino Boy"

What does that mean? Herostratus (talk) 03:41, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

I'd say it refers to Space Ghost being set in a futuristic and high-tech outer space with an adult hero and two adolescent sidekicks, while Dino Boy is set in a primitive and prehistoric-like valley with an adolescent hero and an adult sidekick. --Tbrittreid (talk) 22:47, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Original Airdates of 1967 Council of Doom Episodes

The List of Episodes on the main Space Ghost article page shows the six-part Council Of Doom episode airdates as September 9th 1967 and and September 16th 1967, with three parts running on each such date (parts 1-2-3 on Sept 9th, parts 4-5-6 on Sept 16th). If this were true, then "Dino Boy", normally the middle part of the program, would not have been aired during those two weeks.

However, and in spite of the fact that I can not offer supporting evidence, I have to respectfully dispute this. My personal recollection is that the Council of Doom episodes aired two at a time over three weeks -- Sept 9th (parts 1 and 2), Sept 16th (parts 3 and 4) and Sept 23rd (parts 5 and 6), and "Dino Boy" aired in its usual place during those three weeks.

As I think back on this from today's perspective, my main thought here -- perhaps yours too as you read and interpret this -- is that CBS could have aired the entire "Doom" series as a one-hour special, either on Saturday September 2nd, the week prior to the premiere of CBS' 1967-68 Saturday morning line-up, or else on Friday September 8th, as a way of previewing the new Saturday shows. However, no such advance showing was ever done.

Again, I have no supporting evidence regarding my recollection of the original airing of the Council Of Doom episodes. Even so, I wanted to share my own perspective about them.
