Goober and the Ghost Chasers

Synopsis of Saturday Morning Show

Ghost Chasers was a magazine that employed Gilly, Ted, and Tina as investigators of the paranormal. Accompanying them on their adventures was Goober, an alarmingly skinny dog who wore a winter hat as a plot contrivance. You see, whenever Goober got scared, he turned invisible-except for the hat. So even when he was invisible, the young viewers could easily spot him.

The gang would chase all sorts of frightening baddies—spirits, mummies, werewolves, etc. However, most of the villains turned out to be of the human variety, merely disguised as ghosts a la Scooby-Doo.

The show also featured members of the ABC nighttime sitcom The Partridge Family as guest stars. The characters of Laurie, Danny, Chris, and Tracy were voiced by the actors who portrayed them on the sitcom—Susan Dey, Danny Bonaduce, Brian Foster and Suzanne Crough, respectively.

Goober and the Ghost Chasers aired for two seasons, the second consisting entirely of repeats.
