History WesternAnimation / SpaceGhostCoastToCoast

** And of course, Zorak.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: During the show's first episodes, Space Ghost, Zorak and Moltar's voice actors tried to imitate the characters' original voices and they sounded more stilted because of it. Also, Space Ghost interviewed his guests as if they were also superheroes.

* EpilepticFlashingLights: Parts of the intro could certainly count. Also the barrage of previous episode clips at the end of "Joshua". Each clip is only a frame (two at most) long, leading to an almost epileptic flash effect.

* VocalEvolution: At the beginning, Space Ghost and Zorak sound more like their original incarnations than they do over time; their voices deviate from the originals by the second season.

* CallBack: In "Spanish Translation", Zorak says "I must go to the store to get butter and cheese." Later, in "Batmantis", Zorak says "I must go to the store..." Space Ghost asks: "...To get butter and cheese?" This is also revisited in "Urges".

* JerkassBall: The episode "Dam" has Zorak and Moltar being worse than ever, copping an attitude for no reason resulting in them spitefully pestering and and screwing over the interview. Once Space Ghost fights back, they decide to give him the silent treatment.

** Brak's very first appearance has him playing Beavis as part of a ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead'' reference, sounding nothing like his modern self.

** "Baffler Meal" was supposed to be this to ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'', but it didn't air until long after the show had already premiered.[[note]]"Baffler Meal" was eventually retooled as "Kentucky Nightmare". The episode was initially rejected by Cartoon Network because initial drafts focused too much on the Aqua Teens (Space Ghost only had about three lines). Once they made ''Aqua Teen Hunger Force'' into its own show and it became a hit, they decided to finally make the "Baffler Meal" episode, which aired in 2003.[[/note]]

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Lokar and Tansut are a part of the Council of Doom now that Zorak and Moltar are otherwise occupied.

After its final episode in 2004, the show had a brief revival over Gametap in 2008. In TheNewTens, it had another mini-revival with small scale interviews in between other shows as well as an April Fool's interview with Creator/TommyWiseau. Unfortunately with the death of Clay Martin Croker (a writer for the show as well as the voice of Zorak and Moltar) in September of 2016, and George Lowe (the voice of Space Ghost) experiencing health issues in recent years, it is unlikely that the show will see any sort of long-term revival in the foreseeable future. It didn't stop Lowe or Andy Merrill (the voice of Brak), from reprising their roles for guest appearances in the Creator/{{Max}} series, ''WesternAnimation/{{Jellystone}}'', alongside new voice actors for Zorak and Moltar.

* ThatsWhatSheSaid: In "Boatshow", Steve Allen and Brak engage in a discussion in Brak's lanaguge, and after Steve said a line, Brak replied with "That's what ''she'' said!"

* RewindReplayRepeat: In "Urges", Moltar asks Space Ghost if he remembers his explanation of mantis mating habbits earlier in the show. Space Ghost promptly heads into the "little ghost's room" to replay it. "...the female typically eats the head and brain of the male... (rewinds) the male... (rewinds) the head..."

* CatchPhrase:

The series is known for being one of Adult Swim's most notable creations in their history - the limited animation (and smaller budget), surreal stoner humor and pervasive tone of excessive weirdness inspired the creation of several other shows, like (most notably) ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'', which could be considered a SpiritualSuccessor to this show, despite the two running at basically the same time.

** The aforementioned Tansit.

** Birdman is possibly even more put-upon than Tansit.

** Tansit in early appearances would shout "Predicate!" at the end of his sentences.

** Tansit's first appearance gives him a far more gruff, evil-sounding voice, and he's far less of a loser than he is in later appearances. In fact, his later voice actor also appears in the same episode as a disembodied announcer.
* TheChewToy: Poor, poor Tansit.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Anyone remember Tansit? Or Lokar?[[note]]Andy Merrill used in-character DVD commentary to provide WordOfGod that Lokar simply died at some point and the other characters literally forgot Tansit existed at all.[[/note]] Or Christy (the band's drummer)?

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Lokar and Tansit are a part of the Council of Doom now that Zorak and Moltar are otherwise occupied.

What happens when you take stock footage from a [[TheSixties 1960s]] action cartoon, have the people responsible [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs imbibe some fine hallucinogens]], and re-use it in a nonsensical talk show spoof? You'll get something like ''Space Ghost Coast to Coast'', one of the earliest outputs of Ghost Planet Industries (now known as [[Creator/AdultSwim Williams Street Productions]]) and Creator/CartoonNetwork's first fully produced original series.

* OffModel: Happens on occasion due to the use of StockFootage, the most obvious examples being Zorak's vest (which regularly changes from red to blue) and Moltar's control room, which changes depending on the camera angle. The vest gets lampshaded in "Zorak", where Maxcy Nolan specifically mentions Zorak's red vest, only for the show to cut to him wearing a blue vest, then quickly cut away and return to him wearing the red vest.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: The mutual abuse between Space Ghost and Zorak (and occasionally Moltar) is fairly well-deserved on all accounts.

* {{Cameo}}: "Surprise" has a bunch, since Zorak cycles through guests in a hurry by blasting them off the screen after only a second or two.
