Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Vol. 1 [2 Discs] (DVD) (Eng)

Good old Space Ghost finally arrives on the home video market with Cartoon Network's Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Volume One DVD set. Collecting the first eight early episodes, with an additional eight hand-picked ones after that, this double-disc set should please old fans and new with this hilarious look at the initial incarnation of the show. On the technical side, the Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo and crisp full-frame image work perfectly for each disc, giving the Hanna Barbara-inspired animation a perfect home for years to come. Extras include commentary tracks for "Elevator," "Batmantis," and the un-aired "Story Book House" on the first disc, while the second disc's episodes "Girlie Show" and "Fire Drill" come complete with alternate tracks as well. Disc one also sports an original artwork section featuring storyboards and never-before-seen storyboard shots, while disc two's extras are rounded out by Zorak's music video rendition of "Jingle Bells." While most episodes sporting multiple laugh-out-loud moments, the insight from the writers, producers, and voice actors are also just as priceless -- which should make this set a priority for any lover of the nonsensical show. With this great start to the series, one can look forward to more Space Ghost and pals with further volumes, along with releases covering the brilliance that is Cartoon Planet. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi
