Cartoon Planet (1995): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 1995, Cartoon Planet is an animation, comedy and kids series.

What it’s about. Cartoon Planet is an animated variety show that originally ran from 1995 to 1998, and from March 30, 2012 to present on Cartoon Network. A spin-off of the animated Space Ghost Coast to Coast talk show, the original premise was that Space Ghost had recruited his imprisoned evil arch nemesis Zorak and his loud and extremely dimwitted archenemy Brak to assist him in hosting a variety show. Cartoon Planet began as an hour-long block of cartoons hosted by Space Ghost, Zorak, and Brak. They would introduce full cartoons from the Turner Entertainment library, such as old theatrical shorts and Hanna-Barbera cartoons, including the original 1960s Space Ghost episodes. The host segments were often original songs and ad libbed skits. New material ceased being made in 1997, and most of the songs and skits were re-packaged into 22 half-hour episodes without cartoons.

Who’s in it. Cartoon Planet stars Andy Merrill as Brak (voice), C. Martin Croker as Zorak (voice), George Lowe as Space Ghost (voice) and Don Kennedy.

How it landed. With an audience score of 8.4/10, Cartoon Planet sits among the best-reviewed titles in the catalogue.
