I know it's not specifically Adult Swim related, but it was a kid-friendly off-shoot of Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, so it's tangentially related.

If you haven't heard of it, it was a block in 1997 when Cartoon Network was just starting out that wasl as I said before, a kid-friendly version of Space Ghost: Coast to Coast. Instead of having special guests to interview, you'd mostly just have Space Ghost, Brak, and Zorak standing around talking to each other. Sometimes you would have clips of cartoons or some live action footage they filmed of a guy in a Space Ghost costume to sort of interrupt things and keep things flowing.

It was mostly a flimsy excuse to try to pretend Cartoon Network had original content (At the time it was mostly Hanna Barbara reruns), and extremely low budget (Something they make fun of themselves for)

All the episodes are archived one YouTube

I just wanted to bring this to the attention of those who hadn't heard of it, and invite those who have seen it, whether as a kid or through youtube uploads, to discuss there opinion of it.

Ahh Napster, the past is a fuzzy place...

Personally I was fond of Zorak's Bad Bug song
