Space Ghost Coast to Coast is a cartoon that aired in the 1990s and
2000s on Cartoon Network and later Adult Swim. It's a re-imagined
version of the 1960s Hanna-Barbera cartoon character Space Ghost.
Join Space Ghost, his bandleader Zorak, and director-producer Moltar for some weird late night talk show cartoon ... I was going to say 'adventures' but that's too strong of a word, most accurate to leave it
at "some weird late night talk show cartoon".

Haven't heard of it. sort of reminds me of the gen-x
cartoons I watched in the 90s while in the Navy. The
Maxx, Ren & Stimpy, Spawn, etc...

Yeah, Space Ghost was from the early Adult Swim era on Cartoon Network
in the 90s, a block of (mostly bizarre) cartoons not aimed at children. Similar era and vibe to some of the ones you mentioned. The 90s were a good time for weird and wonderful cartoons!
That early [Adult Swim] fare was peak for my peers and I. We spent a long time goofing off with Macromedia Flash and Photoshop, just making things for the hell of it. Those shows really took the concept of 'did it because we could' to a funny place, and made us all feel like we could make something like that one day. Watching those old Space Ghosts was better than watching the last few Seasons of Rick and Morty.
other than that. It seemed so different and unusual at the time. Almost felt like exploring a different place. Of course my memories of it are coloured by my teenage years, for me these shows were the right thing at the right time, to make me laugh my ass off.

Back to the late 80's into the 90's for a moment, it seemed all
around weird. It's like there were no rules. Pee-Wee, Max Headroom, MacGuiver, Sledgehammer, Airwolf... Miniseries, Scifi was on TV like V, Alien Nation, or comedy like Alf or 3rd Rock they were just trying so much. I was staying up for Up All Night on USA Friday with Ronda and Saturday with Gilbert and Monstervision from TNT I'm sure I lost brain cells to the B movies but I saw the Beatles Help at like 3AM on PBS
too... The closest I get to that now it You Tube, everything else seems
to have crystallized into a place I just don't have time for anymore.
As Hunter Thompson said, "It still hasn't gotten weird enough for
me.."
It's fun seeing this discussion going on. I loved that
show. Brack and Moltar, but the songs that they did...
Liquid Television was something else. Aeon Flux was wild
and there was just one off animations in there that were
really little musicals. I seem to recall one with a sort
of space stock car race where the pilot ran it till
failure but I think Cake was used for the soundtrack,
maybe going the distance, back when that was new.
Just watched a Japanese stop motion called Junk Head
this weekend what was a brain bender. It's wild the
dialogue is mumble Japaneses so I suspect subtitling was
always necessary, but there's English subs. It's sort of
manga like and by a director who did it as a labor of
love, no film experience. Found it looking for DelToro
movies and got to it as he endorsed it. There's no
resolutions only questions. So be warned.

Junk Head does sound interesting, may have to check that out when the
mood is right.
I don't remember Sledgehammer.
Another great series - Tales From the Crypt. I've been watching it recently and it's incredible how many familiar names starred in episodes of Tales From the Crypt. (also, the Cryptkeeper is a spitting image of
I don't remember Sledgehammer.
It was a cop show where the detective had a huge pistol
and people would ask, is that a silencer and he'd reply
no, it's a loundener ironically. So sort of a hodgepodge Bronson/Eastwood/Gibson over the top cop.
A lot of people panned Where the Buffalo Roam but I
think there's something in that story that's as
important to then as it is now about politics, change,
and the people who are left behind.
You know one I liked was Ugly Americans,
It was panned as flat, but it was comic book like. The
Guy worked at the Social Services department and was
going out with Satans daughter?
OK that does sound like fun! Speaking of over-the-top cop shows, are you familiar with Axe Cop? "Created by a 5 year old and his 29 year old brother."
masterpiece, it's hard to fully enjoy any other HST film. That first
time watching Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, with a snack of a handful
of delicious (or NOT) mushrooms, has burned it into my brain very effectively.
I remember the show but I don't think I ever really gave it a chance at the time. Maybe it'll be one I dig up later and enjoy as a forgotten
gem. :)

I need to watch Where the Buffalo Roam again, it's been a while. Since Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was my introduction to HST and it's such
a masterpiece, it's hard to fully enjoy any other HST film.
If I remember right at that point in my life we were
starting to come out of the 2008 recession. It was 2010,
we had left a position in Vermont and were back in NY
and I was working a road job as a security guard in big
energy doing 12 hour shifts usually 1800-0600 in block
tours or 2 weeks...
