Space Ghost Coast to Coast

Space Ghost Coast to Coast is what got me into Adult Swim, or more correctly, when Adult Swim first came on, I did like one show, and that was Space Ghost Coast to Coast. I enjoy a bit of absurdity in my comedy, and SGC2C takes it to an extreme. Like Willy Wonka said, "A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men."

Space Ghost was a Hanna Barbarra cartoon from the 60's that didn't have an extremely long run, but it was alright. I think I watched it in reruns as a kid a couple times. Adult Swim took the characters from the Space Ghost franchise and put them in the setting of a talk show. Normally I would think this was just plain stupid, but they actually made it work, primarily by not focusing too hard on having guests. Sure they have them, but they don't try to get anywhere with them in particular, or they just make fun of them, like Bjork. Haha, Bjork.

The interaction between Space Ghost, Moltar, Zorak and occasionally Brak is priceless. Some of the best writing is definitely Moltar though, who is generally just a bit annoyed with everything that is going on, and seems to be the only one who isn't a complete idiot. It's all good.

BTW, I'm in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee today looking at the Smokey Mountains. Yeah!
