Space Ghost Coast to Coast (partially lost Gametap episodes of Cartoon Network adult animated comedy series; 2006-2008)
Title card.
Status: Partially Lost
Space Ghost Coast to Coast was an animated series on Cartoon Network created by Mike Lazzo that ran originally ran from 1994 to 2004 across eight seasons. It was very successful, spawning various spin-offs (Cartoon Planet and The Brak Show) and even helping to create two long-running CN blocks (Toonami and Adult Swim) among other things.
On October 17, 2005, the gaming/streaming service Gametap was launched and, from May 30, 2006 to May 31, 2008, new episodes of Coast to Coast were created exclusively for the service to help promote it, giving the show ten seasons total. They were made without any involvement from the original writers and were generally met with mixed reception. Ultimately, the service was bought out by Metaboli in 2008 and has been defunct as of 2010 when the company shut down, leaving most of the episodes effectively lost, having never been officially released on any home media or anywhere else on the internet besides a couple of writers uploading episodes for resume purposes.
However, a majority of the episodes have been found by a user on MySpleen, including videos of Space Ghost interviewing various game developers at E3 2006. The only episodes that weren't in the collection were the ones featuring Larry Hunter, Mark Thompson, and Bruce Stern as guests.
