Samson & Goliath debuted on NBC on September 9, 1967. The series ran for a single season of 13 episodes, each containing two story segments. It was written by Tony Benedict, Walter Black, Eddie Brandt and Dalton Sandifer, with music by Ted Nichols. Like with all of Hanna-Barbera’s other action-oriented series, Alex Toth handled the initial character designs. Although its run was short, Samson & Goliath continued to air well into 1968. That April, its name was changed to Young Samson in order to differentiate it from the Claymation series, Davey and Goliath.
