Hanna-Barbera produced this hourlong Animated Anthology for NBC in the early 1980s. Along with new adventures for Space Ghost and The Herculoids, Space Stars featured two new segments:

Teen Force: Elektra, Kid Comet and Moleculad, accompanied by The Unintelligible Astro-Mites, continually opposed Uglor and his plans for galactic conquest.
Astro and the Space Mutts: The Jetsons' pet was now one of a Comic Trio of space patrol dogs. They were usually more hindrance than help to Space Ace, their mustachioed master.

Every episode comprised two segments with Space Ghost, one each with the Herculoids, Teen Force and Space Mutts, and a "Space Stars Finale" Crossover at the end.

Tropes used in Space Stars include:

Big Bad (Uglor)
Cartoon Crossover
Hey, It's That Voice!: Elektra is Jana of the Jungle, Cosmo is Dynomutt, Dipper is the original Scrappy-Doo and Space Ace is Mark from Speed Buggy.
Name's the Same: Space Ace.
What Could Have Been: Early print ads for Space Stars implied that the Jetsons themselves would be part of this series.
