    Diagonaldi Very well executed
    Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
    Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
    Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
    skallisjr I'd watch these as an adult when they first were aired. The superhero had Power Bands, which apparently could do nearly everything by pushing the right buttons. In about 8 minutes per complete episode, a problem was set up, a glitch to its solution occurred, and then the hero triumphed, often with the help of his monkey. (With all his power bands and the like, he, Jayce, and Jan were often at the mercy of the bad guys until they got help from an often invisible Blip. So much for high-tech.Is that they're rescued by a small simian a spoiler?) Some of the villains were great, but one of the most underused ones was Metallus, who was the one who was the most honorable, and the one who contended with Space Ghost, technologically. The horde of robots he commanded were occasionally a bit silly, such as the "rock-throwing robots," to quote Jayce's observation, but the heroes managed to get through them or otherwise evade/avoid them.The stories, as noted, are short and simple. As such, they're good for a fast break when one's had a long day. They're a lot of fun and worth a view.
    jedi1007 Well, Time-Warner(or whoever owns the rights at this hour) has finally gotten around to releasing the ORIGINAL "Space Ghost" on DVD! These are the cartoons that I grew up watching. While I'm certain that there are a lot of fans for "Space Ghost Coast to Coast," "Harvey Birdman," etc., but let's face it: There are a good many of us who remember these shows in their original format. Watching them in their pure form is not just about nostalgia. There might be a new audience waiting to discover these lost treasures. Space Ghost was the baddest dude in the galaxy: with those power bands, the inviso-ray, and, best of all, that ship, THE PHANTOM CRUISER. That has to be one of the coolest starship names EVER! Then, there's "Dino Boy" which was part of the "Space Ghost" series. The DVD is set for a July 15, 2007 release. Also, the original "Birdman/Galaxy Trio" series will be released on that day. "Birdman" was AWESOME, fighting intergalactic crime with the help of falcon (or was it a hawk?) named "Avenger." And the Galaxy Trio. . . who could forget "Gravity Girl" (what a babe). Hopefully, Turner will continue to release the rest of the Hanna-Barbera superhero series, such as "The Herculoids," and, of course, the original "Fantastic Four" cartoon series. Also, while they're at it what about "Frakenstein,Jr," "The Impossibles," "Secret Squirrel," and "Atom Ant?" Alright, I'm getting carried away. Sorry.
    grendelkhan Before he had a talk show he was the guardian of the spaceways; the intergalactic crime fighter, Space Ghost. Hanna-Barbera had been looking for something to counteract the popular Filmation Batman cartoons. They turned to Alex Toth, the master of the H-B hero shows, who came up with Space Ghost. They really lucked out with Gary Owens, popular DJ and Laugh-In regular. They also got Tim "Jonny Quest" Matheson.Space Ghost was brilliantly designed and executed, although the shorter stories limited character development. We never got to see what SG looked like under the hood (I have seen a model sheet with his real face) or where Jan and Jayce came from. Still the villains were inventive and the plots exciting. The pinnacle was the multi-part tale of SG's battle with the Council of Doom, a conglomeration of SG's nastiest enemies. He even traveled through time to meet up with Dino Boy, Mightor, and Shazaan.I still find the "Coast to Coast" show funny, but this is the real Space Ghost, the one that inspired Steve Rude and Mike Baron's classic Nexus comic. The Dude even created the ultimate Space Ghost comic. Now, when will see this on dvd?
    SpunkyCh I love this cartoon to death. To me there is nothing more classic and memorable than Space Ghost. I watched it when I was two and still cannot get it out of my head. Most of the stories were too short (what can you do with eight min?) and campy (as was popular at the time.) It was great action adventure at its finest. I have all but eight of the episodes on tape, I still watch them regularly. I just wish I could do my dream project and work on a revival, I know just what to do. The villains were way out there and the designs by the master Alex Toth always stand out. That and the line up of voice talent is great. I even went to the extent of having a costume of Space Ghost made. I am THE die-hard Space Ghost fan. Watch some episodes and you'll understand why. Favorite episodes include: "Zorak", "The heat thing", "The molten ovens of Moltar". Some of the absolute best and hardest to get is the six episode "Council of doom" storyline. The funniest thing about watching them for me was ending up being able to mimic Gary Owens (Space Ghost) himself. You out there Gary? I want to meet you! And the Funny thing is I don't remember "Dino boy" until I saw them as re-runs. And I am a big Dino fan as well.
