The guys at CArtoon Network(literally Turner Studios) had reels of Space Ghost footage from the late '60s and had a brainstorm: Re-edit the voice tracks of the cult cartoon and re-edit the action to look like a late night talk show. And behold! Space Ghost Coast-to-coast is born!
The episodes are fifteen minutes long,so usually two are run per half-hour. Real,live guest sit through inane questions and banter from SG,his mortal enemy and band-leader Zorak,his producer,another villain Moltar and...well,whatever the heck once villain-turned-moron Brak is. INtermittenly,other space villains from episodes past will appear and often the ebb and flow of the show is interrupted,changed,mixed or completely blown-up,often replete with back story and side-references.
I was delighted to see it make a comeback(it AND The Brak show)on Adult Swim. It allows me to postpone(for now)having to go buy it on DVD.
I suggest anybody who gets a kick out of talk-show parodies and/or send-ups of old Hanna-Barbera cartoons go rent/or buy this on DVD,or at least TiVo it on Saturday and Sunday nights on CN.
