| Cartoon Planet | comment |
Cartoon Planet (1995-1997) was a spin-off of Space Ghost Coast to Coast, or, what happened when the creative team behind said show was given free rein with the Turner cartoon library. Cartoon Planet was a mix of songs, sketches, and clips of older shows, described by head writer Pete Smith as "a cross between The Sonny and Cher Show, The Electric Company (1971), and recess at the Richard M. Nixon School for Wayward Boys". The show starred Space Ghost, Zorak, and Brak in the same character interpretations shown in Space Ghost Coast to Coast: Space Ghost as the egotistical blowhard host, Zorak his long-suffering (and evil) foil, and Brak as a loveable "half-lobotomized" simpleton. The characteristics of Brak in Cartoon Planet and banter between him and Zorak were the inspiration for their portrayal on The Brak Show. The show originally aired on TBS, then transferred to Cartoon Network; by 1997 the older cartoons that originally ran during the program were removed (thus shortening it to a half-hour).It lasted only 22 episodes and due to copyright hangups will never be released on DVD. However, Rhino Entertainment did release two albums featuring songs and dialogue skits (with altered background music) from the show, "Space Ghost's Musical Bar-B-Que" in 1997, and "Space Ghost's Surf & Turf" in 1998. A non-commercial promotional album, "Modern Music for Swinging Superheroes", had previously been released in 1996; all of its contents were later re-released on the two Rhino Entertainment albums.In 2012, Cartoon Planet was relaunched on Friday night, playing some of Cartoon Network's original "classic cartoons" as they call them, as a part of the network's 20th anniversary. Zorak and Brak return as hosts. After one year of running, it appeared that the block has lost its original purpose, the block then played a hodge podge of both old and current shows, including Johnny Test and The High Fructose Adventures of The Annoying Orange and now not only ran on Fridays, but every week day as well. It ended its run on February 8, 2014, and then was re-launched again on Boomerang starting June 6. | |

The Cameo | |
| Cartoon Planet / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: Count Floyd, the Horror Host played by Joe Flaherty from SCTV would show up via Stock Footage imported from the 1988 Hanna-Barbera series The Completely Mental Misadventures of Ed Grimley. Moltar appeared once in 'Mantis from Atlantis'. Hilariously parodied in a skit where Zorak goes Blah, Blah, Blah while Space Ghost monologues about one of his adventures. For no reason whatsoever, Brak appears out of nowhere for a brief few seconds while the words "Cameo Appearance" appear under him. | |

I'm a Humanitarian: One letter in the Mail Bag suggests the characters cannibalize each other in times of hardship. (Space Ghost laughs nervously, suspiciously at this.) But Brak is exempt, for being deemed "cool". | |

A skit parodying the movie Aliens, where Zorak said that his tummy hurts, and Space Ghost continuously said "I want my mommy". The skit ended when Brak said, "Hey, let me know if an alien's gonna pop out of ya' stomach. 'Cause, you, know, I wanna be long gone when that happens." | |

Stock Footage: From countless cartoons and shows, including the original Space Ghost, Ultraseven, and The Completely Mental Misadventures of Ed Grimley. Per a former editor, anything owned by Turner was fair game, so they had all sorts of footage used, including scenes from Turner-owned movies and stuff caught on CNN satellite feeds. | |

Credits Gag | |
| Cartoon Planet / int_4af55b78 | comment |
Credits Gag: The credits are unusual in that only the crew member's first names are used. Some of the names even featured gags; composer Eddie Horst was always listed as "Eddie the Horse", Mike Lazzo was listed as "The Mayor of Cartoon Planet" and Keith Crofford was listed as "The Chief of Police". Additionally: "Thanks For Watching the Credits". On some very early broadcasts, the credits would show Andy Merrill in a Space Ghost costume dancing before being changed to Brak singing "Bye, Bye, Goodbye, Goodbye Everybody". | |

Blah, Blah, Blah | |
| Cartoon Planet / int_c676a2f8 | comment |
Hilariously parodied in a skit where Zorak goes Blah, Blah, Blah while Space Ghost monologues about one of his adventures. For no reason whatsoever, Brak appears out of nowhere for a brief few seconds while the words "Cameo Appearance" appear under him. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Cartoon Planet / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: A skit parodying the movie Aliens, where Zorak said that his tummy hurts, and Space Ghost continuously said "I want my mommy". The skit ended when Brak said, "Hey, let me know if an alien's gonna pop out of ya' stomach. 'Cause, you, know, I wanna be long gone when that happens." The outro has Brak paraphrasing the credits song from The Beverly Hillbillies. Naturally, he doesn't quite know the lyrics and fills in as best he can: During a rambling Spoof Aesop: | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| Cartoon Planet / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: Compared to both Space Ghost Coast to Coast and The Brak Show. (Indeed, the reason the show began was when Ted Turner saw Space Ghost during the "World Premiere Toon-In" event that introduced the World Premiere Toons; it was simulcast across Cartoon Network, TNT and TBS, and asked "How come we don't have something like this on the Superstation?") This show is Williams Street's most kid-friendly production, due to it being made for daytime slots rather than late night. | |

To the Tune of...: Several of the songs share tunes but use different lyrics. Examples include the opening theme and the closing theme, Everybody Wants 2 B Space Ghost and Ordinary Guy, It's Not Easy Being Evil and Zorak's Blues, Brak's Hawaiian Vacation and Moo Kaluka, and Rock My Baby and Something That Rhymes With Bones. | |

Unusual Euphemism: In "I Love Beans", Brak uses "cutting muffins" for... well, passing gas. In "Fluffy", Space Ghost uses "letting a fluffy" for the same thing. | |

Limited Animation: Lampshaded when Brak smugly declares "I'm not animated to explode!" Space Ghost blows him up later on Space Ghost Coast to Coast, though. In one episode, Brak complains about his lack of poses, as all he seems to have is "sitting down" and "standing up". Also Lampshaded when a letter from a fan comments that the production budget must have cost 35 cents. | |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Spoofed in one Cold Open. Space Ghost politely greets Brak. But Brak, suspecting this trope is in play, takes it as a sign he's in trouble, much to SG's annoyance. | |
