What happens

Cartoon Planet is an American television programming block that originally ran from 1995 to 1998 on Cartoon Network. Produced by Cartoon Network Productions and later Ghost Planet Industries, it serves as a child-friendly spin-off of Space Ghost Coast to Coast. It centered on Space Ghost recruiting his imprisoned evil nemesis Zorak and his loud and dimwitted archenemy Brak to assist him in hosting a variety show. A revival without the involvement of Williams Street ran from 2012 to 2014 on the network. 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 (sometimes with an edited laugh-track). The host segments often included original songs, as well as skits with non-sequiturs and surreal humor similar in tone to Space Ghost Coast to Coast. New material ceased being made in 1997, and most of the songs and skits were re-packaged into 22 half-hour episodes without classic cartoon clips. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
