Format

Various celebrities appear on the show as guests. They are shown on a TV screen next to Space Ghost, and unlike the characters, they are not animated.


Space Ghost Coast to Coast uses the talk show format as its template, but subverts it regularly. Space Ghost himself is generally portrayed as pompous, ignorant, and slightly deranged. In early episodes of the show, he apparently believed his guests were other superheroes and usually opened the interview by asking them about their superpowers. His interactions with guests are almost always painfully awkward, and sometimes hostile. It is sometimes hard to tell if guests are aware of the nature of the program on which they are appearing. Their answers often do not match the "questions" coming from Space Ghost, because the questions are changed after the interview. For other uses, see Superhero (disambiguation). ... Superpowers redirects here. ...

Space Ghost's relationship with his co-workers is worse. His bandleader, an evil-talking mantis named Zorak, and his producer, a red-helmeted lava man named Moltar, work for Space Ghost as punishment for their crimes, and make no secret of the fact that they hate him. Space Ghost at his desk. ... Space Ghost at his desk. ...


Space Ghost is shown to be arrogant, showboatish, uninformed, oblivious to his own stupidity, and violent when provoked. His powers include invisibility (courtesy of his Inviso-Belt, although it's really just an outline of SG), flight, and the ability to shoot powerful beams from the Power Bands on his wrists.


Zorak claims to be "pure evil", even if neutered by his imprisonment, and spends his time on the show making fun of Space Ghost, generally getting blasted in return for his efforts by Space Ghost's power bands. At other times however, his resistance to Space Ghost is more oblique, preferring to just ignore Space Ghost's quixotic tendencies in a quiet method of rebellion.


Moltar is more placid about his predicament and enjoys watching CHiPs reruns on the monitors during the show, as well as talking to the guests before their interviews, but he will often chide Space Ghost along with Zorak and become his sidekick in tormenting Space Ghost.

Unlike most modern cable series, each episode of Space Ghost Coast to Coast is only about 11 minutes in length. To remedy this, Cartoon Network stuck two episodes back to back in order to make a 30 minute programming block, something Adult Swim (whose producers include the creators of SGC2C) has duplicated in much of its original programming. In early years of the show, Cartoon Network would sometimes show episodes of the original '60s and '80s Space Ghost cartoons after the 11-minute episode of Space Ghost Coast to Coast and a commercial break, and sometimes they would even add a very strange laugh track to the old cartoons. In 1995 a spin-off show called Cartoon Planet premiered on one of Cartoon Network's sister networks, TBS. This show featured Space Ghost, Zorak, and Brak attempting to host somewhat of a variety show on the Cartoon Planet. Cartoon Network started airing Cartoon Planet in 1996 and usually placed this show right after Coast to Coast. The Brak Show, a situation comedy starring Brak's hijinks as an adolescent, was also spun off as an independent 15 minute program, in late 2000.

Show production

Part of the surreal nature of the show comes from the guests' sometimes awkward and disjointed responses to Space Ghost's questions and other events around the set. This is the intentional result of the production process that was first laid out in the original (unaired) pilot episode. This episode was created by Mike Lazzo, who interspersed stock and original material with completely unrelated promotional video of Denzel Washington being interviewed about the Oscars. When the show was picked up, similar interviews were orchestrated with guests to achieve the same comedic effect. Sources Wired 12. ... Denzel Hayes Washington, Jr. ...

Before any part of the episodes are written, the guests are interviewed by a writer/producer. Originally, a Space Ghost costume was worn by Andy Merrill, one which he later made famous in some Cartoon Planet intros. More often the writer/producer appears in normal dress, but may still impersonate Space Ghost's character traits and mannerisms. In many cases, the interviewee is alone in a studio, while the interviewer conducts the session over a speaker phone. In the all-black room where the interview takes place, the guests are told what basic directions to look in to "talk" to Zorak, Moltar, or Space Ghost. The interviewer also rarely reveals his actual name so that the guest is forced to address him as "Space Ghost." This serves to both maintain continuity and to engender a sense of bewilderment in the guest.[citation needed] ImageMetadata File history File links Spaceghost. ...

After an interview is done, the writing team goes back over it, taking pieces out of context and out of order, then assembling them into the "responses" to Space Ghost and the rest of the show. The episode is written around these canned reactions and the writing talent of producers Williams Street (formerly known as "Ghost Planet Industries", named after the fictional studio where SGC2C is supposedly taped). Williams Street studios produces the animated series Aqua Teen Hunger Force, The Brak Show, Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law, Sealab 2021, Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Tom Goes To The Mayor (with Dipshot Films), Robot Chicken (with Seth Greens Stoopid Monkey and Sony Pictures Digital) and Squidbillies. ...


Most of the show's earlier guests probably assumed they were participating in a relatively straightforward interview (albeit with an animated superhero, giant insect, and a man made of liquid magma). As the series went on, however, more and more guests became at least peripherally familiar with what was going on. Some episodes were written to accommodate playfully hostile guests who called the show's bluff, such as comedian (and writer of one SGC2C episode) Joel Hodgson's refusal to, as he put it, "Go down that road with you, pretending we're in space and all." Others had skits written for the guests to perform in outside of the normal interviews. Still others had recurring guests, familiar with the show's format. Reportedly, "Weird Al" Yankovic, who has himself frequently edited interviews with celebrities to take responses out of context, walked into his Coast to Coast interview with answers he prepared ahead of time, but opted not to use them.

Music

"Hit Single", the original theme song for Space Ghost Coast to Coast, was performed by avant-jazz guitarist Sonny Sharrock and his drummer, Lance Carter. Sharrock and Carter recorded a number of songs for the show, several of which were later compiled on a limited edition 1996 promotional CD released by Cartoon Network. As a tribute to the late Sharrock, who died in May 1994 shortly after the show first aired, the episode "Sharrock" featured nearly fifteen minutes of unedited takes of the music recorded for the show. Warren Harding Sharrock (August 27, 1940 – May 25, 1994) was an American jazz guitarist. ...

When the show reached its sixth season, the theme song was abandoned. It was used a few times in Season 8, however, including a slow version for the episode In Memory of Elizabeth Reed.

Broadcast history

Space Ghost Coast to Coast first aired on April 15, 1994 in the United States on the Cartoon Network [1] airing initially at 11:00pm ET on Friday nights, with an encore showing of the episode on Saturday night.

Later the program was moved to various late-night time slots, usually on weekends. These late-night airings and the development of similar shows by Williams Street Studios led to the creation of the Adult Swim program block in September 2001. Space Ghost Coast to Coast reruns now air on Adult Swim's online-exclusive Adult Swim Fix service. Williams Street studios produces the animated series Aqua Teen Hunger Force, The Brak Show, Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law, Sealab 2021, Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Tom Goes To The Mayor (with Dipshot Films), Robot Chicken (with Seth Greens Stoopid Monkey and Sony Pictures Digital) and Squidbillies. ...


In February 1995 an episode of SGC2C was simulcast on Cartoon Network, TBS, and TNT for the "World Premiere Toon-In" special debut of a series of original new cartoon shorts, later known as the What a Cartoon! shorts. In the special (titled "President's Day Nightmare" by the producers) Space Ghost interviewed a few of the new directors, while the Council of Doom were the judges of the cartoon clips. Some of the then-unknown directors on the special included Van Partible (for Johnny Bravo), Genndy Tartakovsky (for Dexter's Laboratory), and Craig McCracken who eventually won the swimsuit competition and got to have his Powerpuff Girls cartoon shown in its entirety at the end of the show.

When Cartoon Network lauched Toonami in 1997, it originally featured a computer rendered 3-D version of Moltar, hosting the show from his booth at Ghost Planet Industries. It even aired episodes (at the time) of the '60s Space Ghost cartoon.


The show was initially broadcast on Cartoon Network UK during an early evening slot (around 6pm on Sunday nights), before eventually being moved to a late-night slot (around 10:30pm). During late 2001 and early 2002 four episodes aired every night at 11.00pm, though only ones from the first four years of the show's life. It later aired on CNX in its hour of comedy from 9pm–10pm alongside other programs from the Adult Swim programming block.

Space Ghost Coast to Coast was supposed to premiere on Teletoon in Canada in 1998, but it was said that a celebrity somehow tried to stop that decision. It finally began airing in September 2006.[2] For the French-Canadian version of this television channel, see Télétoon (Canada). ...


New, short episodes were available on Turner Broadcasting's GameTap online pay service in which Space Ghost interviews celebrities from the video game industry and GameTap's artist of the month. GameTap is an online video game service by Turner Broadcasting System (TBS). ...


The episodes "Self Help", "The Mask", "Gum, Disease", "Le Livre D'Histoire", "Brilliant Number Two", and "A Space Ghost Christmas" were shown sporadically and then not released for DVD (due to video rights issues). During the first couple years of the show, after each episode was a screen to "contact ghost planet" or "visit ghost planet", and had the phone number, fax number, e-mail address, mailing address, and website URL to contact the makers of show. The sound bed for these cards was a dial up modem handshake noise. These cards have been totally removed since the show became part of Adult Swim in 2001, with the exception being on a marathon in 2008, where they briefly appeared at the end of the two episodes shown.

In information technology, telecommunications, and related fields, handshaking is an automated process of negotiation that dynamically sets parameters of a communications channel established between two entities before normal communication over the channel begins. ...


Though the show is on a "permanent hiatus" it has made two different returns. Once, after airing Perfect Hair Forever's pilot episode, Space Ghost was shown conducting a special talkback episode of the show with Early Cuyler, Sharko, and Meatwad about Perfect Hair Forever. The entire thing degenerated into typical Space Ghost/Adult Swim randomness, including Space Ghost himself being killed by Early Cuyler. After this, Space Ghost was only seen in cameos on Perfect Hair Forever where it was explained that after the end of his show he became a drunk that wandered around the Williams Street studios begging for a job. However, Space Ghost's show made another return on Turner's broadband entertainment network, GameTap. At E3, Space Ghost randomly showed up to conduct a series of live interviews including one with Microsoft executive Peter Moore. Space Ghost discussed bathroom etiquette, his own video game idea (A "dermatology based" video game), Sony, Turner, and dancing with Moore. Eventually on May 31, 2007; the last GameTap episode (so far), has Space Ghost try to boost (in the episode) low ratings by doing a publicity stunt; he exposes his pale, hairy nipple. The incident actually has the opposite effect, and he ignorantly flashed it out again (about 8 or 10 times total). After that, Moltar finally reports that the network has officially canceled the show. (There hasn't been another episode since.)

Beyond the original run of the series, at least two additional episodes were announced and had their respective interviews filmed, but were never finished. These included interviews with Seth Green and Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane. While neither of these interviews were aired in any episode of the show, an Easter Egg on the Volume 3 set features "Commander Andy" (Andy Merrill) talking to Macfarlane. Space Ghost has also been featured in a commercial for esurance, interviewing the company's cartoon spokeswoman, Erin. Space Ghost spent most of the interview fantasizing about sleeping with her. Space Ghost was also featured in a McDonalds commercial in which his guest appears to be a random person talking about how she eats all her meals off the Dollar Menu from McDonalds.

Legacy and signifigance

In 2000, the show either spun off or directly inspired the four original cartoons that constituted Adult Swim's comedy block -- The Brak Show, Aqua Teen Hunger Force (ATHF), Sealab 2021, and Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law. All four shows originally utilized the same limited animation style utilized in SGC2C. The Brak Show included the characters Brak and Zorak, recurring characters on SG:C2C. The three main characters in Aqua Teen Hunger Force originated in the SGC2C episode Baffler Meal. While the character of Harvey Birdman in Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law bears little resemblance with the Harvey Birdman seen on occasion in SGC2C, beyond the common first name of "Harvey", the show can be said to have conceptually descended from SGC2C -- both shows dealt with Hanna-Barbera superheroes, supervillains, and comedy characters dealing with life after their original run of shows had ended. The same can be said of Sealab 2021, which again used the same concept with the characters of Hanna-Barbera's Sealab 2020 characters. A spin-off (or spinoff) is a new organization or entity formed by a split from a larger one such as a new company formed from a university research group. ...
