[net.tv] Kiddie Show request

munch!


	Argh!  I have been going nuts for the past few years trying to remember
a kiddie show that had an SF motif.  I really don't remember anything about
it except for the following:

	1)  It was about some sort of Solar System patrol (or police?).

	2)  It was more than likely in black and white.

	3)  The only episode I remember had something to do with
	    auto/space racing on the rings of Saturn.

	4)  It was on during the early 70's.

	5)  The spaceship itself looked weird.

Here are a few series I can remember that it isn't:  Space Ghost, Gigantor, 
Astro Boy, The Pussycats in Outer Space, and The Far Out Space Nuts.  I
know that what I've given isn't much, but I'm positive there is a show.
Can anyone help?

Could this be "Space Angle".  SA was an animated series of shorts
that I remember seeing in the late '60.  It was shown as part of
a morning kiddie show in Houston, Tx.  The lead character, Space 
Angle, wore an eye patch.  In the space race around Saturn, an old
hermit, who was in only a few episodes, won the race by piloting
his junk spaceship close to Saturn to get the maximum gravity whip
effect.

It was "Space Angel" (as in heavenly host), not "Space Angle" (as in obtuse,
acute, right, or "new angle" for a show).  Not trying to be picky; either
one could be the name of a show.
