Space Ghost Coast To Coast: Everything You Didn't Know | SYFY WIRE

[@SlightlyAbsurd]

Kinda sad you didn't mention C. Martin Croker, who not only voiced Zorak and Moltar, he was also the principal animator, and even sadder that he died a couple years ago at the young age of 54.

[@Puppy_Puppington]

yeah because this channel is basicallly a fox news............

[@Tornado1994]

Clayton Martin Croker died from a Heart Attack in Atlanta,GA on September 12,2016.

[@DespairBringer]

Cartoon Network Latin American branch had a series of commercials called "Biografía Toon" with biographies of some cartoon stars, with Space Ghost being one of them. They explained what happened between the 60s show and coast to coast. Basically, he defended the universe so well there were no more villains to fight and capture, so the rating dropped (he went as far as releasing bad guys from jail just to capture them again) and the show got cancelled. He became a fat unemployed slob addicted to cheese cookies and vanilla ice cream with a massive pet rock collection, but it all changed when CN executives called him to host a talk show, as a matter of fact, the CN executives were the ones who captured Zorak and Moltar for the show. Check it out.

[@CorderoStephens]

Forgot to mention that Moltar was the original host for Toonami in late 90s, before they brought TOM on. Space Ghost literally gave us Toonami😩

[@mickeyrube6623]

I loved how they called it Coast to Coast even though not even 10% of people in the US had Cartoon Network at the time.

[@dingledan-gle1590]

I bought a SGC2C poster on a trip in high school and kept good care of it. Once I got into college and beyond, I ended up at a few conventions with folks that worked on the show and started getting autographs. I only have like 3-4 signatures on it, but I had the chance to meet C. Martin Croker and he drew all over it. Like graffiti'd it up. Made it look like Space Ghost was trying to blast Zorak and snagged his own mom instead, knocking her tooth out and breaking her glasses. Then he apologized for getting carried away but said he had to charge me $10 for the signature still. I gave him more but not enough. There's not enough money for an awesome memory like that. If there's anything after this life, I hope to meet him again and thank him for everything one last time.

[@monorail0]

But you were already going to pay him right?

My cousin and I used to be in tears laughing so hard, trying to stay quiet watching this way passed out bedtimes.

[@mariobermudez1228]

Fun fact: In the Scooby Doo Team Up comics, they say that Space Ghost was hypnotized into being a talk show host by Moltar and Zorak (and it back fired on the two of them.)

[@emmyarellano3704]

The Garrett Morris episode is the funniest most authentic interview ever! Garrett was so drunk and high during the whole thing, it was brilliant!

[@unclesporkums]

I have to note that the whole "Thaddeus Bach" origin story was actually made up for the 2004 DC comic. Newspaper accounts from 1966 show that his original name was actually Maj. Dickson Yates.

[@dingledan-gle1590]

Truth. That 2004 DC reboot is a sweet read in general though.

[@didymali]

Brak wasnt on coast to coast as a regular character he was on cartoon planet a saturday morning kids show on tbs, which is where musical bbq and tiki torched tunes are from. Same art styles and teams but different shows

[@Jared_Wignall]

Yeah, Brak was a recurring character on Coast to Coast. Cartoon Planet and The Brak Show where the shows that he was a regular on.

[@didymali]

@@Jared_Wignall right he would pop up sparingly in coast to coast but he wasn't a regular character, people kinda mash coast to coast and cartoon planet together in their minds and think brak was a regular character in coast to coast

[@alfredcowans880]

wow you learn somethin new everyday

[@slick_Ric]

most of the Cartoon Planet episodes are currently on KZbin in a playlist, whoever doesn't know, check it out

[@jayaldridge9520]

Space ghost, Brak and Zorak hosted another show for cartoon network called cartoon planet. Loved that show.

[@ZebbeCali]

This is like the Eric Andre show before the Eric Andre show. Also, had a dream last night that I met Eric Andre.

[@Dooality]

Eric has said that he watched SG2C over and over and that it greatly inspired his own show. You can definitely see it.

[@battlinjoe2592]

Did he try to sell you NFTs?

[@covertboat3876]

its 2020 & im crying

[@strangled-mangoes6307]

Just reread a Scooby-Doo Team Up comic where they team up w/ Space Ghost and his partners. They acknowledged this series by saying that “Space Ghost was hypnotized by Zorak and Moltar to run a late night talk show, but luckily he was able to snap out of it after 11 seasons.” While I don’t think that backstory is very accurate, I still think that it’s pretty funny!

[@JoeKer1989]

this is the best video on this show on the entire of KZbin. Good stuff.

[@timothylewis2527]

Things that happened during my teenage years are "ancient" now. 😢

[@Cyberpuppy63]

I bet it's not too late to assemble a cartoon "studio" in "your" basement with a couple friends. You really could reincarnate Space Ghost in a new format. 10-15 episodes, in 20 minute story lines. Just use some stop-animation software and a good replica paper cut-out of Space Ghost. Plug in a good voice over (or sound editing software) - and you're almost set. All you need are 10 really good stories.

[@MMiel-mv2pt]

I f***ing LOVED Space Ghost Coast to Coast 😂🤣

[@PatchesOnPaws]

Oh have I got a song for you-

[@7michaelfurs67]

Something that many people don't know that some characters on Space Ghost that have later passed on actually end up showing up in the other Adult Swim shows such as the Venture Brothers or at least their character pictures did

[@nicholastrueblood8683]

loved the spin off, The Brak Show

This lady has never seen space ghost and couldn't care less.

[@popculturedad8128]

I would watch the Spin off Cartoon Planet which aired early mornings on TBS.

[@hammerman1758]

To this day, all but three of the GameTap episodes have been found, and so far it's not likely that the lost episodes may be found, since the videos aren't archived along with the main site, but the rest can be found online.

[@hades12686]

Flipmode with Busta Rhymes is my favorite episode.

[@MichaelWhiteGaming]

He was BAKED during that interview

[@Captain1nsaneo]

There were two episodes that were only aired once to the best of my knowledge. The first was the full version of Space Ghost slowly crawling after an ant to "kill its family" after it bit him. Episodes were normally 15 minutes long with 2 to a half-hour segment. Space Ghost started following the ant near the end of the first episode and for the entire duration of the second was just slowly moving across alien vistas on his knees. Eventually he reached a pair of giant metal doors which sprung open revealing massive roaring mantis warriors and Space Ghost runs off yelling insults. Subsequent airings cut the VAST majority of the chase so it could fit in a single 15 minute stretch. The second was a Cartoon Planet episode that was the last episode of a New Years marathon. It was ENTIRELY made of Space Ghost asking Brak about their viewership numbers ("How we do'n Brack?") and Brak responding the same way almost every time while standing in front of a generic line graph that went zigzagging up ("We're doing good!"). On rare iterations something would change with the biggest change was when the graph was upside down ("We're doing baaad!"). Never saw that episode again as a rerun. (note, I was very very tied when I watched this, reality turns out to be different. Episode's name is Ratingspalooza)

[@Jaszmatic94]

I use to be so scared of this show lol

[@alfredcowans880]

🤣😆 Why?

[@richwalls3151]

I love DangerDoom with Adult Swim characters and MF Doom

[@Theonixco]

"No one remembered who space ghost was" Well not really, He was a near permanent fixture of Hannah Barbara reruns on Cartoon network at the time.

[@kencoleman5007]

I thought that Timothy Leary looked confused during his Space Ghost interview for... other... reasons.

[@josephchaparro1037]

I loved that show it was different from anything else on TV at that time Groundbreaking.

You forgot that Space Ghost was revived in 1981 in the series Space Stars before Coast to Coast was brought up.

[@JGManRulz]

[@michaelbolcato192]

The Brak Show is funny especially Zorak and Brak’s dad.

[@AlexWalkerSmith]

No mention of Andy Merrill? He came up with the original concept and wrote and produced the show, and was the voice of Brak himself!

I’ve never seen the original Space Ghost as a kid but watched the talk show all the time. I also never watched the Harvey Birdman but have seen the original birdman a lot as a kid.

[@SkylerKPHDtrustmebroUNI]

Saw em all. Best part of the whole thing was space ghost making fun of zorak to an uncomfortable pause just for zorak to respond with, bleep you space ghost. And another super uncomfortable pause.

[@user82938]

That's not how Frylock "used to look." That version of Frylock was done in an episode after AHTF was already on the air.

[@cen7ury]

The best episode of that show in my book was "flipmode" featuring Busta Rhymes as guest. [expletive deleted] hysterical.

[@bsadewitz]

It's either that, "Old Kentucky Shark", or "Chinatown"

[@jayjustjay7871]

I miss this weird show that i adored as a kid.

[@Gappasaurus]

I frikkin loved this show back in the day, i taped as many episodes as i could and any clips i could find were some of the first things i downloaded when sites like Napster, Limewire, Kazaa, etc first appeared 😎 My absolute favorite SGC2C moment was not actually an episode, but a parody TV spot that i only saw once, and have never been able to find since (☹️) but i will never forget it as it caught me so off-guard that i almost had an aneurysm laughing 😂 In 1997 the hard sci-fi movie Contact came out, and a key moment in the film was when a mysterious audio signal is received from space. This “whoomp-whoomp-whoomp” sound also featured heavily in the commercials, which i had seen many times before seeing the movie. Well, one day, while presumably watching Cartoon Network, one such commercial came on, with Jodie Foster and company desperately trying to figure out where the signal is coming from... but in this **particular** tv spot, the answer was revealed: jump cut to Moltar in his control room repeatedly pulling the handle on his control panel, which in turn is causing the repeated “whoomp” noise, and the whole time he’s just laughing maniacally. And i just about died 😂🤣😂🤣 After seeing those commercials so many times, to be totally blindsided by this out-of-nowhere spoof was one of the most hilarious things i have ever witnessed. I really, really hope to find it online someday 🙂

Brak was the best thing to come outta that show.

[@tonyb7615]

no. zorak was

[@tdubasdfg]

Why does zorak's vest change color? 🤣

[@PC2000]

Because they used footage from the 1960s show. Pretty much all of Zorak's henchmen from the show looked identical to him aside from the different-colored vests, so they just recycled footage of any of the mantis characters for Zorak.

[@tdubasdfg]
