Michael Tae Sweeney: It's hard to communicate to a younger generation how cool stumbling on this show felt as a kid, especially because there was no real Internet yet that could help you contextualize or discuss it. Just an incredibly weird and cool show that felt like it shouldn't exist

Space Ghost Coast to Coast premiered thirty years ago today.

SGC2C was simultaneously one of the crowning achievements of Gen X culture and one of the most influential shows on millennial culture.

I think there were some really rapid diminishing returns from the formula once it exploded with Adult Swim, but for my money the final pre-Adult Swim season of SGC2C and the first season of AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE are two of the best seasons of any TV show ever bsky.app/profile/rawk...

I think Space Ghost Coast to Coast was proto-Adult Swim. And it was so good. Still want Brak to appear in everything.

to this day quotes from aqua teen rattle around my empty skull bumping into homestar runner quotes

I am a soccer mom who quotes Aquateen at *least* once a week. Sometimes it's simple, like making cookies & I'm like "...BEHOLD!" other times it's a bit more, like saying in Carl's voice "I don't need no instructions to know how to ROCK". Either way, my kids hate it and my husband barely tolerates it

There's a one-off mothman character that appears in S1 of Aqua Teen that says "Oh my god" in such a specific way that I've said it in that cadence for 20 years

Have you watched “Jon Benjamin has a van”? Wild show.

"Did you just throw molding at me?"

About every other day, I quote meatwad's "I get it. It ain't makin' me laugh, but I get it." But I have infinitely more H*R quotes in my head.

“I am thirty or forty years old and I do not need this.”

ONLY GAY PEOPLE HAVE TEETH Master Shake is like, barely a parody of my toxic dad

IT'S NOT DIFFERENT AT ALL, IS IT STEVE? MWAHAHAHAHAHA

I think the first few seasons of ATHF and the entire run of Sealab 2021 were incredible. I don't think the Sealab episode parodying The Legend of Bagger Vance can be parsed by most people though.

The first episode of "SeaLab 2021" I saw was the "Waking Quinn" episode and I saw it without having seen "Waking Life" or "Apocalypse Now" so it made NO SENSE but I was high as hell and having a religious experience.

The two modes of Sealab enjoying: on the same wavelength and understand the references OR high as balls.

When you combine the two, then comes enlightenment.

ATHF still resonates. Great writing and acting.

as with Immortan Joe in FURY ROAD, Master Shake seems like one of those things people won't believe actually predated Trump's presidency

Perhaps Furiosa will disappoint. Hope it won't!

Also Yong-Suk in Train to Busan.

I always say this about Marvel’s Dark Reign comics. Every single kid that discovers that story is just going to assume it’s about Trump.

And an all-time great hip-hop album!

Yeah those first few years of Adult Swim were like the first few years of Underground Comix. There was a real anything goes feel that could never have sustained itself.

That first night of adult swim, featuring the first two episodes of Bebop, still resonates with me.

god the first cowboy bebop episode goes so hard

It's wild that I have such clear memories of watching that but I do. I was 15, staying over at one of my friend's houses, and we stayed up all night to watch Cowboy Bebop.

tack on the anime boom happening around that time and it was a wonderful experience

Don’t forget season 1 of Sealab. The black stormy episode, bizzarro episode alone worth the price of admission.

it was okay but I never liked sealab as much as ATHF

The first season of Home Movies was a personal fave. SeaLab was a blast. I had the ATHF theme song as my ringtone back in the days before we all silenced our phones.

I think Harvey birdman was the best of them all

At times for sure! Btw, did you get that thing I sent you?

Whatever floats your boat! I liked them both, but for some reason the peaks of Sealab stuck with me more.

Master Shake shilling for Boost Mobile remains the most en pointe.

Where you at dawg

THE WHOLE CITY'S BEHIND YOU!

Remember when they started putting Carl from ATHF on SportsCenter

30 years ago???? I am SO FUCKING OLD!!!! Loved it so much!

Until Bluey came out ATHF was really the only accurate depiction of parenting you could find on tv.

There was SO MUCH MORE of it than just SGC2C, too! Cartoon Planet was like a whole extra giant block of it without the interviews but with more Brak. And then there were the albums and all the interstitials they ran! It was a massive ecosystem

🎶What day is it Could you please tell me 🎶What day is it I'm confused you see... Yep, some of us still have our Space Ghost CD's!

Comb those used CD stores & online marketplaces, folks. These albums are pure Rhino Records magic. #TheBrakAlbum #SpaceGhost Surf & Turf & Musical Bar B Que
