Yogi’s Space Race is a cartoon block that aired on N.B.C. from September 9, 1978 to December 2, 1978. After 13 episodes, N.B.C. separated the four segments. However, no new episodes were actually made. The Buford Files and The Galloping Ghost remained together. The font used in the title card is identical to STAR WARS.

Princess Glama of the planet Camelotta is kidnapped by Zangra and her robot henchman Drako, who use her as bait to trap the Goof-ups; however, the heroes prove to be so incompetent that the villains have to help them get into the trap.

General Blowhard is carrying secret plans to prevent the Space Spider's plot to take over the universe. The General needs a good night's sleep before the next day's high-level meeting, so the Goof-ups have to capture the Space Spider and protect the General without waking him up.
3 "Whose Zoo?" September 23, 1978 102
Sagar the hunter, with the aid of his lackey Grog, has been capturing "lower life-forms" for an interplanetary zoo, and he plans to add the Galaxy Goof-ups—the lowest life-forms he's ever seen—to his collection. After being lured into Sagar's trap, the heroes and Captain Snerdley try to escape, accidentally releasing all the other animals in the process.
4 "The Space Pirates" September 30, 1978 105

6 "The Dopey Defenders" October 14, 1978 106
Command Central receives a shipment of the latest top-secret equipment. Zangra, disguised as interviewer Barbie Wally (a take-off of Barbara Walters), tricks the Goof-ups into loading all the equipment onto her ship.

7 "Tacky Cat Strikes Again" October 21, 1978 108
Tacky Cat—under orders from his wife Perfecta, who hates the tacky way they live—takes over the planet Camelotta and imprisons Princess Glama. The Goof-ups arrive to free the princess, and Perfecta's constant nagging drives Tacky Cat to surrender to them. In the end, however, Glama comes up with a solution to the Cats' marital discord: she has their planet made half-pristine and half-tacky, so they can both be happy.
8 "Space Station USA" October 28, 1978 107
The vessel Space Station USA, which had been missing for centuries, is found floating in space; Captain Snerdley orders the Goof-ups to pilot the station to the Galaxonian Museum. The richest man in the galaxy, however, wants to add the vessel to his own collection (which appears to include the Starship Enterprise), so he uses disguises and trickery to steal it from the Goof-ups.

During this episode, the Goof-ups encounter four female versions of themselves, and accompany them to the disco.

9 "Hail, King Yogi!" November 4, 1978 109
A jungle-covered planet has drifted into Command Central's galaxy, and the Goof-ups are sent to investigate it. The primitive natives are so impressed with Yogi's "magic"—i.e., his hand-held teleportation device—that the tribe's queen makes him their new witch doctor, and he and his crewmates live a life of luxury. However, when Yogi realizes that the queen intends to marry him, he and his friends desperately try to escape from the planet.

In this episode, the Goof-ups don't go to a disco; instead, they dance to music from a radio while on the jungle planet.

12 "The Treasure of Congo-Bongo" November 25, 1978 112
Rupert and Dimitri (spoofs of Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre) deliberately cause a remote-controlled ship to crash down on the jungle planet Congo-Bongo; this ship carries the treasure-matic computer, which can produce precious metals and gems. The villains then race the Goof-ups through the perils of the jungle to get the computer.
13 "Captain Snerdley Goes Bananas" December 2, 1978 113
The General sends Captain Snerdley to the Galaxy Sanitarium for his overworked nerves; visits from the Goof-Ups make his condition even worse. Meanwhile, the reptilian Lozar from the planet Lizardia uses the body of head psychiatrist Dr. Wacceau as a disguise, so he can study Snerdley's mind and body; once the study is complete, the Lizardian invasion will begin.

The Galloping Ghost:[]

The Galloping Ghost is a very interesting Supernatural that has the ability to alternate a visual appearance, or to be completely invisible. This is not to be confused with Hanna - Barbera's common practice of providing the viewers with outlines many times that characters have abilities that can make them invisible. Despite his name, he does not actually ride a horse. He also goes by the name of Nugget Nose. His cause of death is unknown. It is unlikely that he died of natural causes or he would not be a ghost. The setting takes place on a haunted dude ranch owned by Fenwick Fuddy. His two employees are Rita and Wendy. Nugget Nose adopts Rita and Wendy and enjoys haunting Fenwick Fuddy all the time.
