The Brak Show

...I found myself enjoying this spin-off(or spin-off of a spin-off)from the Space Ghost family.

Space Pirate Brak,long-since reduced to being a child-like simp,has moved back in with his family and hangs with fellow outlaw Zorak and the usual(read "not usual")type of events: an alien parasite wants to kidnap Brak's mom and make her HIS mommy; Zorak's usually growly,evil cackle growl voice pops out and reveals the evil,sociopath Mantis as having an actually very lovely set of pipes(alas,STILL a nasty,hateful Son of a Biscuit!);a endoplasmic bully is tormenting everyone on the block,including the self-seeming bad-ass Zorak. Those are just samplings of the conflicts that our favorite imbecile of the galaxy has to endure,with only his optimism and childlike pluck to help him. So to speak.

Featuring such odd concepts as Brak's dad being a ten-inch tall Spaniard(of course,Brak's mom looks just like him!) and their neighbor's being a fierce metal giant(I forgot the name,Cyclotron seems to come to mind)being most sensitive and protective of his prized gardening,this show may've lacked the cool,disasosciative elements of SGC2C or CArtoon Planet,but it still incorporated enough Sci-Fi geek chops to make fans of SG--many of whom ARE Sci-Fi/comic book geeks-- happy. I know CN/Adult Swim has made a point of NOT brining the show back(which is a shame),but I feel like there's absolutely an audience for this still. I count myself among them.

This show aired for quite a while and still gets me to laugh uncontrollably each time I watch it. Andy Merrill is hilarious at making Brak's voice, George Lowe and Zorak are funny as well at this show. Although the show only lasted for three or four seasons (according to IMDb) it still remains a popular show on AS. Well, even cartoon network. Of course, this show is incredibly demented and insane but that's why it was such a damn popular show. The show is hilarious and I hope that they'll air it again sometime-------- highly recommended for those that like insane comedies '7/10' as an overall rating.

This is what I call a classic old school Adult-swim show it's a spin off of space ghost Choast to Choast one of the first original programs on Cartoon network and the first Adult swim show.This was before CN and AS got stale like many of the original AS shows it still has fans who remember and still watch it Adult-swim was at it's best when Andy Merrill Dave Willis and Matt Maiellaro where writing and creating the shows. New Adult swim shows are gross and profane and not nearly as remembered the brak show has not been on TV in years but it's still more remembered then a new AS show that recently got canceled or put on hiatus. Brak from Space ghost was the star it also stared Zorak as his trouble making friend Goarge Lowe voiced his Dad thundercleese was a giant robot neighbor and there was mom a stereotypical Housewife and Mother. This was TV-PG back then most shows were PG some were TV-14 but now it's all hardcore TV-MA some are still TV-14 this was from a simpler time in Adult swim history that we may never see again. It was a surreal spoof of classic family sitcoms that i would like to see come back I hope to see this or space ghost Return to TV or see another spin off get made.

BEWARE: This show is addicting! The Brak show can be best described as an intelligent use of ingenious characters. Zorak, the evil Mantis and best friend. Thunderclease, built for War and still the kindhearted neighbor. And Brak as the absurd entertainer of the show with his idiotic day-to-day adventures and often outbursts of song and insanity. What makes this show what it is (Brilliant) is the dialogue exchanged. Mostly one-liners, the writers keep you entertained way past the simple format of the show. I recommend "Diff'rent Braks: The Time Machine." I hope it fills your day with joy. rpr

What can be said about the obscure, offbeat, incredibly funny, brilliant and hardly animated world of Brak? Just that it's Brak! The Brak Show(not to be confused with "Brak Presents the Brak Show Starring Brak' which was used as supplementary material for Space Ghost Coast to Coast) is a fantastic new show with the same irreverent humor and catchy out-of-the-blue musical numbers any Brak fan can expect. The cast of characters including Brak's parents, Zorak and Thunderclese make it all fall together. 5 stars out of 5.
