Samson & Goliath is an animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions for NBC, where it debuted on September 9, 1967.

Twenty-six 12-minute episodes of the series were produced; Samson & Goliath cartoons were paired with other General Mills-sponsored shows such as Tennessee Tuxedo and Go Go Gophers to form a full half-hour for their original network broadcasts.Young Samson was later shown in syndication with The Space Kidettes as The Space Kidettes and Young Samson, distributed by The Program Exchange.

S1E1 - The Curse of Monatabu
Samson and Goliath are visiting a tropical island with an active volcano and happen upon a recently decimated village. Samson is informed by one of the villagers that once, long ago, an evil witch doctor was sentenced to death by the villagers and, before jumping into the volcano, he cursed the village, saying his spirit would return to avenge him. Ever since that day, at the same time every year, a giant green lizard-looking animal comes and destroys the village. This is deemed to be the spirit of the witch doctor carrying out his curse—a.k.a. the curse of Monatabu. Samson decides to investigate this with Goliath.
