Space Ghost Coast to Coast: Difference between revisions

What happens when you take stock footage from a [[The Sixties|1960s]] action cartoon and re-use it in a nonsensical talk show spoof? You get something like '''''Space Ghost Coast to Coast''''', one of the earliest outputs of Ghost Planet Industries (now known as [[Adult Swim|Williams Street Productions]]). ''Coast to Coast'', which had 104 episodes produced between 1994 and 2008 on a fairly sporadic basis, ostensibly followed the talk show career of titular former superhero Tad Ghostal (better known as ''[[Space Ghost]]'') as he interviewed various celebrity guests -- but the episodes usually degenerated into Space Ghost bickering with Zorak and Moltar (two former enemies of Space Ghost who SG forced to become his band leader and director respectively) or some other off-the-wall craziness.

* [[Actor-Role Confusion]]:

'''Moltar:''' Joel Hodgson, Space Ghost, not Robinson. }}

* [[Alliterative List]]: Subverted in "Joshua":

* [[Mentos Finger]]: Zorak gives one in "Zorak".

* [[Morton's Fork]]: Played for laughs in "Gallagher" with the "Space Time Quiz Fun 9000" game. The rules are: Space Ghost asks David Cross and Bob Odenkirk a question; if they get it wrong, they get blasted. If they get it right... they get blasted.

* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: Space Ghost says a variant of this in "Edelweiss" when he thinks he killed Zorak by blasting him too many times:

{{quote|'''Space Ghost''': Heaven help me; WHAT HAVE I DONE?! (beat) Oh well.}}
