Quotes:

Brak: You know? Love is a happy time all throughout the Universe. It's when a male part of the species goes to the female part of the species and says, "Hey, do you wanna go on a date?" And then she would say, "Why, yes, I'd like to go on a date," if you're lucky. And then, they'd go to a restaurant, and she gets something called a salad, and then he gets a big piece of beef that he eats. And that, to me, ladies and gentlemen... is love. Kinda makes you cry, doesn't it?

Gone But Not forgotten

This was the best show cartoon network ever had. First cartoon network was a network of oldie cartoons. Until warner bros. bought the network. Then it all started with a man named Merill. Cartoon network had a smash hit show space ghost coast to coast. It was produced by Andy Merill, But Merill had another show in mind. With the creators of coast to coast and made a spin off entitled 'Cartoon planet'. Cartoon planet was a show ahead of its time. It was nothing to do with adult humor like shows now but it triggered adult audiences so it was so popular at the time it was on two channels which was very popular at the time. It made a cartoon legend brak but today he is not portrayed the same as Andy Merrill did before. But on Tbs Tokyo broadcasting system they were allowed to use stock footage of shows like ultra 7. Episodes were giving cartoon network more money, until ultra 7 creators were asking for their money. cartoon network had no choice and pulled off the show forever in 1997. Cartoon planet made the success of cartoon network and I will never forget this show!
