Hey! citizens and welcome to Christmas in outer

space. Look! It's snowing! Sure is my little

Nutcracker Prince! Snow! Snow! Snow! Snow! I

hate snow! Hello and welcome to Tooncast Beyond,

25 days of Tooncast Beyond Christmas. This is

day 9. I am of course TF2 and Mike and for the

first time this Christmas we welcome TV's Mr.

Neil. Are you getting enough oxygen? No. No I'm

not. Not especially after what I went through

two days ago with a scooter for Yaxmas. Told

you you should have watched the other one son

of Stimpy So we are here it's day 9 TV's mr.

Neal is here we're talking about space ghost

coast to coast a space ghost Christmas So where

I watched this was I think Dailymotion I think

that's where I watched it and Whatever the link

is that I sent you a ceiling link I can find

at the time. Yeah, I think there is actually

an official Archive of the entire series that

our listeners can actually watch watch that legitimately.

Yes Well, the version I watched cut whatever

cartoons he kept cutting to like it just had

the Space Ghost business Yeah, well, I don't

think I don't think it actually had cartoons.

I don't know what that was about. But this is

actually the normal length of the show. It's

Yeah. Yeah, usually ran about 10 minutes and

they would show two back -to -back. Yeah, well,

there's almost no substance. Yeah. Well, see,

there's no context here because he says several

times in this that, oh, well, you know, what

was his name? Frack or, oh God, what's the bugs?

I'm sorry, folks. Space Ghost is not Zorak. There

you go. Frack, Brack, whatever. Zorak. But Zorak,

he did something like the first three and a half

minutes, and then Space Ghost was like, okay,

and now we're gonna see this. And then it cut

like it was gonna cut to a commercial or something

else in the show, and then he brought it back.

And I'm like... It's almost like when you go

to go to a convention and you can film the panel

except for when they actually show you stuff

and You're not supposed to film that stuff because

heaven forbid You know But yeah, this is just

weird This is probably the strangest one out

of all the Christmas cartoons. I found for this

year's 25 days to cast me on Christmas I was

going to ask, have you ever seen an episode of

Space Ghost Coast to Coast before? I've seen

bits and pieces of it. I remember watching it

in the mid to early to mid 90s, but it's been

20 years since I've seen one of these things.

Because it really defies itself to be reviewed.

It's like, what can you even say about it? Yeah.

Like a bunch of things happen and then the credits

roll. Yeah. well this one you know it's all centered

around christmas and having christmas in space

and everything else and for anyone that doesn't

know most people should know this but space goes

coast to coast is essentially uh... johnny carson

eddie mcmahon acid is what i would it's they

took the assets from the original cartoon yeah

and just made a talk show out of it the sets

like It might be like I don't know maybe like

a foot and a half wide It's it's like one of

those little miniature sets, and they just put

the cartoons into it You have to see it to really

understand Yeah, it's It's a little strange and

throughout this this nine -minute cartoon here.

They go and talk about you know What not necessarily

what Christmas means to them, but they basically

start seeing Christmas carols and And Zorak keeps

singing them all wrong. And Space Ghost keeps

getting more annoyed and annoyed and annoyed.

And by the time they try to do the 12 Days of

Christmas with five singers... Oh, my name is

Brack! Yeah, yeah. With Brack being one of them.

And it's basically all Space Ghost's villains.

I don't know what I was thinking putting this

on here. As I've said the last eight days, and

I'll say this in the remaining days that we have

here, the remaining, you know, whatever many

days we have left, I did this, I went through,

this is back in 2011, I had gone through Wikipedia,

I had basically searched Google and I said, I

want a list of every single United States animated

Christmas... cartoon that I could find and Wikipedia

gave me this giant list of every single one that

had ever been released from every single TV series

that are there you know what I mean and whatever

else and it's like Some are okay. Some are good.

Some are great there are classics that we'll

get to at the end of this thing day 20 to 25,

but some of them are just duds and some of them

kind of suck and This is just a dud. I mean this

doesn't suck. It's just a dud because as you

said, there's no substance here whatsoever See

I was so looking forward to this look because

I saw this on the list. I'm like he he has no

idea what he said But you know if you had if

you had given me like a list to like Proofread

I would have crossed this out. Maybe put in the

seasons greetings episode of Robotech Okay Yeah,

and and now that now that I think about it There's

one because when I went through and I did all

this like I said four or five years ago No because

I what I did was like I got a list and I wanted

50 I wanted to be able to create 50 podcasts

so we could essentially have two years worth

of Christmas cartoons and There's one that I

completely missed either that or I just ignored

it because I thought we were going to already

review it, which we've already done, over on

pixels in the animation. I do not have the Yoshi

-Uktar Christmas episode from Super Mario World

on either year's list. You know, we already went

through that torture on pixels in the animation.

If we had to review that twice, I would have

pulled the plug wire. I don't mind stepping on

a landmine. And you think about it at this point,

it's been what? four years and four years of

since we talked about that still i know it's

it's horrible but uh... space goes coast to coast

christmas is alright whatever uh... what are

some of the other uh... christmas cartoons that

are traditions for you uh... well i guess i suppose

you guys must have already mentioned the uh...

the charlie brown christmas i mean that's like

the Yeah, after a while I've kinda like started

to not like that one just because it's so...

pokey. I mean, it would take me a while to explain,

but... Yeah, the way I... Yeah, there's a few

good Garfield ones. The way I did this was I

kinda went from, like, we started out with classics,

so... The year with us, Santa Claus, Santa Claus

is coming to town, so those are two fairly...

well -known classics and then we went into various

other Cartoon Network shows like Dexter and Bravo

and PPG and then we went to Doug and then we

went to Stimpy and then we had an action block

yesterday where we talked about Cobra Claws and

real Ghostbusters because apparently the real

Ghostbusters had to have a Xmas hits the spot

episode so there's that and then going forward

it's kind of like We're getting better. We're

getting better. We got wonderful Tiny Toons Christmas,

which is basically a wonderful life with Tiny

Toons, and we got Flintstones Christmas Carol,

and we got some DC animated stuff with Christmas

with the Joker and Holiday Nights coming up,

and Justice League's Comfort and Joy, and then

Day 20 to 25 is pretty much the classics. Charlie

Brown Christmas. So basically I'm going from...

Yeah, okay, so am I good to okay? This is getting

pretty bad And you know coming back up from the

other side of it that you know that hill it's

like hey here we go 2017 is 25 days is gonna

be People are just gonna crap the bed with that

one because I wasn't stretching, but I did a

little bit of a different format change for that,

so Yes, Space Ghost Christmas this This one probably

might be the shortest one we talk about. Space

Ghost is... I don't know what those intermissions

were for. Like I said, the show is usually about

10 minutes long, unless this was like double

length. But I don't know. No, it was it was ten

minutes. It was like nine minutes and something

or whatever it was, but yeah Okay, because there

are special episodes of space ghosts. I mean

Actually a lot of the original Cartoon Network

cartoons debuted on space ghosts Johnny Bravo

and How chicken powerpuff girls and dexter's

laboratory all debuted on space coast so So yeah,

maybe there was like a special half -hour episode

and that's why there are those weird fade -outs.

I don't know. Yeah, could be. Alright folks,

Neil will be back tomorrow because tomorrow we're

going to be talking about Rocko's Modern Christmas.

So yay, more Nick... No, that's two days from

now. Tomorrow is Jimmy Neutron, Holly Jelly Jimmy.

everybody. Christmas show -and -tell, I brought

something that's truly full of magic and wonder.

How lovely, Carl. You brought a bag of... What

is it? Okay, well, last Christmas Eve, I put

out a plate of cheese nibs for Santa, right?

And the next morning, this was all that was left.

Behold, the magic of Santa! Excuse me, Oh, your

parents didn't eat the cheese nibs. My parents

are on a high -fiber low cheese nib diet. Miss

Fellow, can we have some clarity on this very

nebulous and highly speculative issue of Santa

Claus? Jimmy, stop being such a Mr. Sciencehead

and learn to enjoy Christmas. Maybe I can teach

you how using the magic of song.
