This page will be updated to be more of a sampler page when ive got evrything up

Both the 1996 Ghost Planetarium Tour video - and Jellystone make reference to Moltar being a cookbook author, with “Let's Burn Dinner” and “Moltar's Big Book of Fables and Slow Cooker Recipes” being named

A few of Space Ghost's guests were working for Cartoon Network at the time. Bobcat Goldthwait was the lead voice actor on “The Moxy Pirate Show”, joined by Penn Jillette in the show's second season “The Moxy Show”. Carrot Top had an “AM Mayhem” block that nobody wants to remember.

Zorak is the only member of the Council of Doom not designed by Alex Toth, instead being designed by Hanna Barbera layout artist Hi Mankin. Toth’s original unused designs for Zorak are visible in the publicly online storyboards for Zorak's initial episode.

It is said that Space Ghost's name in the original series was “Major Dickson Yates”, however the only source on this naming also lists a scientist from Venus as a member of Space Ghost's crew. A secondary mid production press release, that was unusually reprinted in the Cartoon Network Space Ghost Archie one-off, elaborates that this alien scientist is Dr. Soonev, who had a significantly reduced role in the final show where he died after a single appearance in the episode “The Energy Monster”

There were three iterations of the Cartoon Network block Super Chunk (in the United States). The first version of the programming block starred a comically obese cartoon child, also named Super Chunk, that was designed by David M. Strandquest and voiced by C Martin Croker. The second was designed by Charlie Canfield at Colossal Pictures, and featured both imagery of a checkered rocket and an opening with a cat chasing a mouse. A third iteration featured the Noods, vinyl figure inspired mascots designed by Kid Robot.

Screwy Sequel Day was an incident on April Fools Day 1997, where Cartoon Network aired the same Screwy Squirrel short "Happy-Go-Nutty" for 12 hours straight. The incident has been attributed to Mike Lazzo, Moxy Moto, and Screwy Squirrel himself on separate occasions.

Cartoon Network has too many “first shows”. The first Cartoon Network original series was the nonfiction Toonheads, which started with the channel’s launch. In late 1993, the Network's original first cartoon arrived in the form of the first of two seasons of an anthology starring the digital puppet Moxy, “The Moxy Pirate Show”. The Moxy Show is often disregarded because of its initial underperformance, continued obscurity and its format of 5 minutes of original animation skits surrounding classic shorts. 1994, Space Ghost Coast to Coast hit the air, but SGC2C is often not counted as a Cartoon Network original because it led to the existence of Adult Swim, despite SGC2C airing on Cartoon Network for seven years before Adult Swim was launched. The Hanna Barbera pilot farm anthology known both as “World premiere Cartoons” and “What a Cartoon” arrived in 1995, and brought with it the pilot for the show frequently regarded as Cartoon Network’s first, “Dexter's Laboratory”.

The unnamed Narrator in Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion is voiced by Space Ghost's Cartoon Network era voice actor George Lowe, with dialogue implying that the character is indeed Space Ghost. Reportedly, this is the result of the game’s developer being denied usage of Space Ghost in the game, but deciding to sneak him into the game, in as much as they could, regardless.

This information is important context for the game's story mode, where the narrator observes multiple Cartoon Network series facing apocalyptic conditions that were eventually revealed to be brought on by Space Ghost's tv remote control (that he claims he purchased discounted from a “store that sells discount borscht by the gallon”); that somehow ended up a violent android with multiverse threatening powers. Space Ghost manages to defeat his tv remote by summoning Captain Planet without Gaia’s rings, which he does by invoking elemental associations held by a number of Cartoon Network characters and a fart joke, and Captain Planet is able to defeat the Remote Control.

Checkered Past has the most mysterious Williams Street block host, as while there is a “Checkered Past Operating System” computer (depicted as a iMac G3 in Bondi blue) that faces the audience in bumpers and expresses a cowardly philosophy that glorifies nostalgia in the voice of Mac-n-talk Fred; however it's unclear if the computer itself is the host, or if a unknown offscreen character is controlling CPOS. Whoever they are, they the block's set dressing implies they have an affinity for cats, they are implied to be pirating the shows they are airing on the block, they've seen the Dexter's Laboratory Ego Trip movie (that has yet to air on the block), and they have a file on the date of “Screwy Squirrel Day”
