Galaxy Goof-Ups is a fun animated TV show that first aired in 1978. It's a spin-off from another show called Yogi's Space Race. Hanna-Barbera Productions made the series, and it was shown on NBC. Each episode was about 30 minutes long.
The show follows a group of space patrolmen known as the "Galaxy Goof-Ups." This team includes popular characters like Yogi Bear and Huckleberry Hound. They also have two unique friends, Quack-Up and Scare Bear. Their leader is Captain Snerdley.
Even though they are space patrolmen, the Galaxy Goof-Ups are very clumsy. They often mess up their missions! But somehow, they always manage to succeed in the end. When they are not on duty, they love to hang out at disco clubs.
Galaxy Goof-Ups first appeared as a part of Yogi's Space Race. It was the most popular part of that show. Because it was so liked, it got its own half-hour time slot. This happened in November 1978. The show has been shown again on many channels. These include USA Cartoon Express, Nickelodeon, TNT, Cartoon Network, and Boomerang.

General Bullhorn
