Space Ghost Coast to Coast is an animated talk show starring washed up superhero Space Ghost, a.k.a. Tad Ghostal, as a late-night talk show host. To aid him, Space Ghost has imprisoned his arch enemies Zorak and Moltar, and has forced them into slavery. Zorak acts as band leader and Moltar acts as director and producer. They regularly disrupt the show and make no secret of the fact that they hate Space Ghost.

Two pilots were created prior to the series' debut but were never aired on television with the second pilot being released as a special feature on the Volume Two DVD set. The series officially premiered on April 15, 1994 and ended on May 31, 2008 with a total of 110 episodes over the course of the show's ten seasons.

While the pilots never aired on television, they were directed by Genndy Tartakovsky, who later created Dexter's Laboratory and Samurai Jack.

The first pilot of the show, made in 1993 and never aired on television but available on DVD. Badly overdubbed footage of Space Ghost (voiced by Andy Merrill) is interspersed with genuine footage of Denzel Washington.

Space Ghost falls in love with guest Judy Tenuta. Zorak and Moltar try escaping by getting on an elevator.

Space Ghost shows off his versatility by emceeing Cartoon Network's "World Premiere Toon-In". Members of the Council of Doom appear as judges in a beauty pageant-style competition between five cartoon directors.

Space Ghost is concerned that Hulk Hogan is getting enough oxygen. Moltar and Zorak improvise guitar solos with their voices.

"Explode" was released on Volume 1 while the remaining episodes were released on Volume 2.

Space Ghost talks to Terry Jones and makes many references to the Monty Python series with Zorak. Lokar offers Moltar a job working for him.
