''Space Ghost Coast to Coast'' is an American animated parody talk show, hosted by the 1960s Hanna-Barbera cartoon character Space Ghost. Though the original 1960s series aired as a standard Hanna-Barbera Saturday-morning superhero cartoon, ''Space Ghost Coast to Coast'' was a total reboot of the series intended for adults, now reinterpreted as an absurdist spoof talk show and produced using the original artwork. ''Space Ghost Coast to Coast'' was recommended to be the first fully produced Cartoon Network original series, and premiered on April 15, 1994. The first two seasons were presented as a serious talk show with subdued jokes, while the later seasons relied more on surrealism, non-sequiturs, and parodies. In 2001, it moved to the network's late night television block Adult Swim. ''Space Ghost Coast to Coast'' was known for inspiring the series ''Cartoon Planet'', ''The Brak Show'', and ''Aqua Teen Hunger Force''. ==Format== ''Space Ghost Coast to Coast'' used the talk show format as its template, but subverted it regularly. Various celebrities appeared on the show as guests. They were shown on a TV screen next to Space Ghost's desk, and unlike the characters, they were not animated. In early episodes of the show, Space Ghost apparently believed his guests were other superheroes and usually opened the interview by asking them about their superpowers. His interactions with guests were almost always painfully awkward, and sometimes hostile. It was sometimes hard to tell if guests were aware of the nature of the program on which they were appearing. Their answers often did not match the questions coming from Space Ghost, because the questions were changed after the interview. Space Ghost's relationship with his co-workers was even worse. His bandleader, an evil talking mantis named Zorak, and his director/producer, a red-helmeted lava man named Moltar, worked for Space Ghost as punishment for their crimes. They frequently disrupted the show and made no secret of the fact that they hated him. Most episodes of ''Space Ghost Coast to Coast'' were about 15 minutes in length, although there were a few 30-minute episodes. Cartoon Network often aired two episodes back-to-back to make a 30-minute programming block. In the first few years of the show, Cartoon Network would show episodes of the original 1960s and 1980s ''Space Ghost'' cartoons (sometimes with an unusual added laugh track) after the 11-minute episode of ''Space Ghost Coast to Coast''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Space Ghost Coast to Coast」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
