Meatwad, Frylock, and Master Shake team up for their biggest adventure yet in this animated feature that finds the popular Adult Swim trio pursued by an immortal piece of exercise equipment that poses a severe threat to the balance of galactic peace. Despite their best efforts to elude the malevolent body-shaper, the super-sized friends are soon horrified to discover that the Plutonians have joined forces with the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past to take control of the renegade device in a bid to rule the universe. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Season eight of Space Ghost Coast to Coast begins with the long-awaited "Baffler Meal," originally intended as the pilot show for the cutting-edge cartoon series Aqua Teen Hunger Force; as it turned out, that particular show debuted without a pilot, and did quite nicely, thank you, without the input of ex-superhero turned talk show host Space Ghost. The subsequent episode "Whipping Post" features a characteristic rant from guest star Dennis Miller -- and a cameo appearance by Space Ghost's onetime "Council of Doom" adversary Brak, taking time off from his own sitcom series The Brak Show. Elsewhere, guest William Shatner is subjected to the wretched Star Trek fan fiction written by Space Ghost's director Moltar in the episode "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed"; Survivor's Jeff Probst barely survives his appearance in "Idlewild South"; and in "Dreams," Triumph the Insult Comic Dog shows up on Space Ghost's telethon for "retardos" when Lassie fails to show. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The opener of Space Ghost Coast to Coast's eighth season was announced as a "lost" episode, but somebody found it anyway -- and Willie Nelson is in it. In a subsequent episode, "The Justice Hole," former SCTV regular Dave Thomas takes over the hosting duties (can it be that cartoon characters are now walking off their own shows?) Later guests include Björk, Busta Rhymes, and Jack Black; and in the episode "Mommentary," a tribute of sorts is paid to the mothers of the series' producers (you should be very proud, Mrs. Lazzo and Mrs. Maiellaro). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The sixth season of the satirical semi-animated talk show Space Ghost Coast to Coast begins with former superhero turned talk host Space Ghost enjoying all of the privileges and none of the responsibilities of a mind-enhancing drug, as Bob Costas and Al Roker look on in muted horror. This year's crop of live-action interviewees includes Steven Wright, Hanson, Captain & Tennille, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jerry Springer, and Conan O'Brien. Meanwhile, there's dissension in the ranks of Space Ghost's production staff, as bandleader Zorak and director Moltar the molten menace not only kidnap guest star H. Jon Benjamin, but commit the unspeakable atrocity of trashing Space Ghost's apartment. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Season five of the satirical cartoon talk show Space Ghost Coast to Coast opens with former superhero Space Ghost's grim announcement that he is doomed to die the moment his show ends -- news that proves to be underwhelming for his ill-tempered cohorts Zorak and Moltar, to say nothing of live-action guest star Dr. Drew Pinsky. Subsequent episodes feature a dizzying celebrity mix, with guest turns from Greta Van Susteren, Greg Morris, Tyra Banks, Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, Ben Stiller, Michael Moore, Moby, Jeff Foxworthy, and Denis Leary. The season ends with both Moltar and Zorak laying hands upon Space Ghost -- but not for the purpose of curing him! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Ex-cartoon superhero Space Ghost persists in asking asinine questions of unsuspecting live-action guest stars in season four of Space Ghost Coast to Coast. The season opens with "Rehearsal," taking the viewer behind the scenes of Space Ghost's chatfest. (Though, this being a cartoon show, wouldn't "behind the scenes?" consist of the back of a drawing board?) Then, Bob Odenkirk and David Cross of Mr. Show appear in an episode curiously titled "Gallagher." Subsequent episodes feature return appearances by familiar Coast to Coast participants Judy Tenuta and Bobcat Goldthwait, along with a few "virgins" like Robin Leach, Mark Hamill, Bill Mumy, Jon Stewart, Peter Fonda, Ice-T, Buzz Aldrin, Beavis and Butt-head creator Mike Judge, Rob Zombie, Raven-Symone, Charlton Heston (In an episode in which Hoover Dam is blown up, Hoover Dam you to hell!), Steve Allen, Andy Dick, They Might Be Giants, and "Lenny and Squiggy" themselves, Michael McKean and David L. Lander. All this, plus the shocking revelation that Space Ghost is 50 years old! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Season three of the satirical, quasi-animated talk show Space Ghost Coast to Coast finds the stiff, humorless superhero host making a shambles of his interview with Monty Python's Terry Jones. This is followed by a session in which Space Ghost's longtime enemy -- and current musical director -- Zorak defiantly stages his own chat show, with Penn and Teller as his victims -- er, guests. Subsequent episodes feature the likes of Carrot Top, Bill Nye the Science Guy, Cassandra Peterson (better known as buxom horror show hostess Elvira), and a brace of former TV idols, including Jimmie "J.J." Walker (Good Times) and Susan Olsen (The Brady Bunch). But wait! There's more! Simpsons creator Matt Groening poses a question that no one else would dare to touch: is Casper the Friendly Ghost the spirit of the dead Richie Rich? Also, Gary Owens, the original voice of Space Ghost back in the '60s, shows up in the episode titled "Late Show." Master chefs Emeril, Nathalie Dupree, and Martin Yan appear in the double episode "Cookout"; and then there's the season finale, "Woody Allen's Fall Project," in which classic moments from the series' first two seasons are played out by live actors (with C. Martin Croker, the voice of Zorak, impersonating "Weird" Al Yankovic). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Cartoon superhero turned talk show host Space Ghost continues to bombard live-action celebrities with his inimitable (and largely idiotic) non sequitur questions in season two of Space Ghost Coast to Coast. Appropriately enough, the first episode of the season features a trio of prominent TV-animation creators: Genndy Tartakovsky (Dexter's Laboratory), Van Partible (Johnny Bravo), and Craig McCracken (bringing along the pilot episode of what would eventually emerge as The Powerpuff Girls). Later guests this season include Fran Drescher, Alice Cooper, and Carol Channing (all on the same episode!), along with Donny Osmond, Michael Stipe, Jim Carrey, Slash, Hulk Hogan, Sandra Bernhard, and Catherine Bach. That these guests manage to leave the show alive is no thanks to the ongoing takeover schemes of Space Ghost's bitter enemy (and current musical director) Zorak. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Venerable cartoon superhero Space Ghost enters the network talk show fray as Space Ghost Coast to Coast launches its first season. With the begrudging assistance of his old enemies Zorak and Moltar, hired as the series' bandleader and director respectively, the monumentally clueless and self-involved Space Ghost welcomes three celebrities to his inaugural show: physical fitness guru Susan Powter, who offers to "stop the insanity" by weaning Space Ghost away from Spanish food; comedian Kevin Meaney, who clearly understands the series' satirical premise; and the Bee Gees, who clearly do not (indeed, the "Biggies" -- as Space Ghost refers to them -- become so potty-mouthed that the star is forced to vaporize them!) The next 15-minute episode features three Gilligan's Island refugees: Bob Denver, Dawn Wells, and Russell Johnson. Subsequent sessions headline the bizarre trio of Judy Tenuta, Timothy Leary, and Ashley Judd; not to mention Joe Franklin, Bobcat Goldthwait, the Ramones, Schoolly D, "Weird" Al Yankovic, Dr. Joyce Brothers, Jim Carrey, Branford Marsalis, Danny Bonaduce, and, in an homage to Batman, Adam West and two of his former "catwomen," Eartha Kitt and Lee Meriwether. And among many other highlights of the series' first season, we learn that Space Ghost's real name is Tad Ghostal. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
