3. “Courage the Cowardly Dog” (1999-2002):
Who else is brave enough to deal with some of the strange creatures and ghastly people in the middle of Nowhere? Ironically, it’s Courage the cowardly dog. Abandoned as a puppy, he was found by the kind and motherly Muriel, and her bitter old husband, Eustace. When spooky things start happening in Nowhere, Courage will naturally scream for his life; but he is not afraid to step up against danger to protect his family… even if Eustace treats him like a “stupid dog.” The elderly couple is usually oblivious when things get hairy, but Courage knows when something’s going wrong.
2. “Space Ghost Coast to Coast” (1994-2008):
When you’ve grown too old to fight crime anymore, there’s only one thing left to do – force two former villains to help you host your very own talk show. That’s what Space Ghost did- and it worked out just fine. Every episode, he interviews famous celebrities through the TV near his desk – usually asking about their super powers or their secret identities. His old enemies, Zorak and Moltar, work as his bandleader and director/producer respectively, and they do NOT hide how much they hate working for him. Awkward, childish, and forces his enemies to work for him…Who else could host an animated talk show besides Space Ghost? …Or should we call him Tad Ghostal now?
1. “Cartoon Planet” (1995-98; 2012-14):
Remember the Hanna-Barbera superhero, Space Ghost? Well, when he wasn’t hosting his talk show, he and two of his old enemies, Brak and Zorak, started hosting their own variety show: Cartoon Planet. What started off as an hour of cartoons was eventually repackaged into its own half-hour show where pretty much ANYTHING goes. Weird original songs, cartoon countdowns, adlibbed skits, poetry readings– nothing was too surreal or too funny for this program. For Cartoon Network’s 20th year, the series was revived, with Brak and Zorak taking over Cartoon Planet’s reins.
