Buford and the Galloping Ghost

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Buford and the Galloping Ghost was a 1978 Saturday morning cartoon produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions, spun off from Yogi's Space Race. It consisted of two segments: The Buford Files and The Galloping Ghost. Taking place in Pendike County, Buford featured teens Cindy Mae and Woody doing what all red-blooded American teenagers did in the 70's: solve mysteries! Assisting Cindy Mae and Woody was their bloodhound Buford, whose nose turned red when he found a clue. Buford was a very lazy dog, and that, coupled with the bumbling police work of Sheriff Dupres and Deputy Goofer, forced the intrepid teens to work even harder to crack cases.

The Galloping Ghost was Nugget Nose, the spirit of a small, feisty prospector, who, like Buford, had a keen sense of smell. Wendy summoned Nugget Nose whenever she and her friend Rita needed assistance on the Fuddy Duddy Ranch with a magical golden nugget she wore around her neck. Fuddy Duddy owned the ranch and provided perpetual, if unintentional conflict with the Double-N.
