The Brak Show

It's strange how a 15 min half animated show can catch you like this. I've seen only one episode so far, unfortunately, but that one magical quarter hour has me hooked with its cute but strangely portrayed characters, whimsical mini songs, and not-so-deep but hilarious plots. Perfect. Anyone who hasn't seen the wonder of The Brak Show really should. You won't regret it.

Brak...wow, what an odd character. The voice, the absence of clear thought...what a good idea for a series. The show itself is actually pretty short (each episode if 15 mins long) and the stories are not too drawn out (much like space ghost), but they're clever and entertaining nonetheless. Amazing voice work here- Brak, Zorak, and even Space Ghost himself doing the voice of the dad. Very funny dialogue and clever songs added here and there. Highly recommend this one.

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.

...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.
