DVD Reviews of Space Ghost Coast to Coast - Volume One
DVD Review: Really Funny for those who like this type of show
Summary: 5 Stars
this show is ultimatly one of the funniest shows ever shown on Adult Swim. i believe that it is by far better than most the stuff that is on now and days other than the Venture Brothers. bottom line. if you like Shows like Venture Bro.s and Harvey Birdman. then this show is for you.DVD Review: Well worth the price
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this and volumes 2 and 3 on sale here on Amazon for $8.50 each, great price and I think it was well worth it. After finishing this DVD set and laughing at all the same old corny jokes and realizing how much Space Ghost was a part of my childhood and how I formed my sense of humor, I was proud that I finally had it chronicled on DVD for my viewing pleasure. One thing I like is that all the DVD cases for these volume sets are the same, with one flap and 2 DVD cases holding the DVDs inside, so it's all symmetrical and looks nice on your shelf. There aren't much in the way of extras, but what was there was pretty entertaining. The way the producers and directors of the show poked fun at themselves throughout the interviews was just classic, and worth watching the commentary to see. All in all, with some of the most classic and greatest episodes of Space Ghost ever made, volume one is a must own IMHO if you're any kind of SG:C2C fan.DVD Review: it smells like cartoon planet(oioie!)
Summary: 5 Stars
the cartoon network shows these in sporatic order, the Fran Dresher"Girlie Show' and the one that you think is a follow up-though that's funny in it's self huh, "my girlfreind" miss nesbit you think he means "Fran" Dresher! but he just got blown off cause she's married! Not hooked up! Nesbit(anagrahm of Miss Tessmocker or something) is an actual EX girlie friend! I just watched a tape I recorded in '96(or something) at the odd after hours of spacey craziness. this is the whimsical "Spaced" ghost based on the old 1960's cartoon show by H/B! I have never seen anything funnier than Lowe's Space Ghost persona and the rediculously bad guests retorts.(Carrot Top's funny because his cut-downs are so darn weak!) I wish live action "real" TV was this funny! Makes one think a moment why it's dead and cartoons are now the thang! I turned off "Saturday Night Dead" and watched my old VHS now I want it on DVD!-ALL OF IT!(flexes rubber-sounding muscles and makes odd disconjointed pointing gesture at Robin Leach on veiwing monitor). "Now you listen to ME, buddy boy!"DVD Review: This isn't a talk show, it's a freak show!
Summary: 4 Stars
What if the Tonight Show were hosted by a washed-up superhero?
That's the quirky idea behind "Space Ghost: Coast to Coast," which unforgivingly lampoons talk shows and empty celeb worship, with the pompous superhero Space Ghost and his ex-nemeses in the spotlight. It takes a few episodes for the idea to really start working, but then it's absolutely hilarious.
Middle-aged Space Ghost lives on the Ghost Planet, where he guards lava-man Moltar and sadistic mantis (or locust) Zorak. And he has a talk show, which he tries to keep relatively calm, but which is frequently disrupted by Zorak's evil ramblings, Brak's demands for attention, and Moltar getting bored and flipping channels.
All his guests are non-animated real-people: Michael Stipe, Terry Jones, Fran Drescher, Lassie, three stars from "Batman," the Ramones, Weird Al Yankovic, David Byrne, Matthew Sweet, Slash, Alice Cooper, Donny Osmond, and a ten-second cameo by Ashley Judd at the end of the first episode (which is arguably the best thing about it).
Along the way, chaos is spread on the set as Space Ghost deals with a giant sea-monkey running amuck, tries to keep Zorak from conquering Rome, tries to convince Adam West to turn into Batman, must rescue Moltar from the evil YOUR MOTHER, falls in love with Fran Drescher, tries to do a monologue, and tries to order a pizza. All while interviewing his celebrity guests: "How many clouds does Earth have?"
"Space Ghost: Coast to Coast" starts rather weakly; the first few episodes are straightforward parodies with no surreal twists. Then the makers got into their niche, and began sprinkling the short program with surreal subplots like Zorak using a spell to make Space Ghost ask stupid questions on the air ("Would you like to see me eat a live mollusk?"). Not to mention utterly random stuff ("The Tingler is loose in the theater!").
At that point, the short episodes become thoroughly entertaining, with the flat Hanna Barbera animation in stark contrast to the live guests, who are a mixed bag. Some (Michael Stipe, David Byrne and especially Slash) seem very uncomfortable, but since the interviews are meant to be awkward, it's not a big deal.
Others (Weird Al, Eartha Kitt, Matthew Sweet, Carol Channing) seem to be enjoying themselves, and even join in on the insanity ("Citizen Joe, we're thrilled to have you on!" "Pleasure!" "Planet." "Gooey." "Deer Tick." "Who knows?").
Space Ghost himself is pretty funny -- pompous, vain about his GI-Joe body, a bit of a snob (he spends half an episode abusing Palmer Mills), and somewhat insane("I am a talk show host. I can say lots of things: Tuna fish, parentheses, coochie-coochie girl Charo. Zingnut ranch!"). Zorak is... well, Zorak. He's evil, malicious, and quite funny.
"Space Ghost: Coast to Coast" may never win a LuLu, but it was a hysterically funny show that only lagged toward the beginning. Definitely worth watching.
DVD Review: Great stuff...
Summary: 5 Stars
What a concept! A stupid, egomanic cartoon superhero talk show host who mistreats his famous real life guests. Top notch.

What would Late Night be like if David Letterman was replaced by a superhero? That's the question posited by the Cartoon Network's original series Space Ghost Coast to Coast, and the answer is: truly odd and frequently hilarious. The series took '60s-era animated crime fighter Space Ghost and reinvented him as the slightly addled host of a celebrity gabfest. SG's awkward chats with guests like David Byrne, Hulk Hogan, and the Ramones were frequently interrupted by his old foes Zorak (now the show's bandleader) and Moltar (director). Deliberately stilted and proudly absurd, the program was a strange but often dead-on parody of hollow celebrity worship, and garnered a loyal cult following. However, those diehard fans may be disappointed by this two-disc set, which features only 16 of the 22 episodes from the first three seasons (a clip from one missing episode, "A Space Ghost Christmas," is included in the supplemental features). Also somewhat of a letdown is the commentary from the show's creative team, which is amusing but rarely informative. --Paul Gaita
