Buford and the Galloping Ghost is an American animated television series and a spin-off of Yogi's Space Race produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions that was broadcast on NBC from September 9 to December 2, 1978.[1] The half-hour series was composed of two 11-minute segments: The Buford Files and The Galloping Ghost.[2]

The Buford Files (not to be confused with the live-action show The Rockford Files) and The Galloping Ghost originally aired as segments on Yogi's Space Race from September 9, 1978, to January 27, 1979.[3] Following the cancellation of Yogi's Space Race, both segments were repackaged and spun off into a half-hour show on NBC from February 3 to September 1, 1979. The show has been rebroadcast on USA Cartoon Express, Cartoon Network and Boomerang.[4] As the show was animated in Spain,[5][6] this is also one of a number of shows made before the mid-1980's seen on the Cartoon Network and Boomerang to have been taken from time-compressed PAL masters.[7]
