Space Ghost: Coast to Coast is a spoof talk show on the cable TV channel, Cartoon Network. It began in 1994. The main cast comprises of Space Ghost, a cartoon character originally from an old Hanna Barbera cartoon called Space Ghost which ran in the 1960s and early 1980s, and Zorak and Moltar, who were his enemies. Space Ghost is voiced by George Lowe, while C. Martin Croker voices Zorak and Moltar. Other characters include Brak, Lokar, Metallus and Tansut, all of which also used to make appearances in the original show.
Various celebrities have appeared 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 at its template, but subverts it regularly. Space Ghost apparently believes his guests are superheroes and usually opens the interview by asking them about their superpowers. His interactions with guests are almost always painfully awkward, and sometimes hostile. His relationship with his coworkers is worse. His bandleader, Zorak, and producer, Moltar, work for him as punishment for their crimes, and make no secret of the fact that they hate him.
Space Ghost is arrogant, showboatish, uninformed, oblivious to his own stupidity, and violent when provoked. His powers include invisibility (courtesy of his Inviso-Belt) and the ability to shoot powerful beams from his hands (courtesy of his power armbands). Zorak personifies pure (if neutered by his imprisonment) evil and spends his time on the show making fun of Space Ghost, generally getting blasted in return for his efforts. Moltar is more placid about his predicament and enjoys watching CHiPs in his spare time.
Space Ghost: Coast to Coast airs on the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block.
Space Ghost: Coast to Coast is currently on hiatus.
A 2-Disc DVD set is available collecting 16 episodes from the show's first two seasons. It is titled "Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, Vol. 1".
Disc 1 includes: "Elevator", "Spanish Translation", "Gilligan", "CHiPs", "Bobcat", "Punch", "Banjo", "Batmantis", and "Story Book House".
