Young Samson, also known as Young Samson & Goliath, is an American animated fantasy television series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions for NBC's Saturday morning children's programming. It ran from 1967 to 1968, airing 26 episodes.
The series has had a couple of pratfalls. The first was having the initial name of the series being called Samson & Goliath, but was changed to avoid confusion with the Christian stop motion series Davey & Goliath, while the other was when Young Samson should be packaged together with The Space Kidettes, but in order to do that some genius decided that the master copies should be shortened in length, leaving the syndicated edits as the only extant broadcast quality versions of the episodes, as well as General Mills having destroyed the remaining six episodes of the series in order to package it with The Space Kidettes.
A teenager named Samson, and his dog, Goliath, travel the globe on a motorbike, but when trouble comes, Samson hits his golden wristbands together, turning him into a super-powered superhero, and a second slam turns Goliath into a super-powered lion. Together, they fight off the forces of evil.
