Oh no! [Dr. Weird](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W36pKI6qNKo) is gone! Prolly my all time favorite line from any television show is “IT BEGINS!” ---

Sorry to hear this; that’s way too young. He did some great work (writing as well as voices). Clay, R.I.P. ---

Oh man, this sucks. I thought this post was going to announce Adult Swim giving Zorak his own show or something! ☹ [Here’s footage of them all doing the episode _Table Read_.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r94p2TUqfcI) > [@Snowboarder Bo](#): > > ``` > Oh no!

That’s so sad. Staying up late at night to watch the original Space Ghost shows and the Brak special at 2 AM is one of my favorite memories. SGC2C and Brak show, once tey made it mainstream, were always my favorite original-run adult swim shows. Bulging… ---

Adult Swim broadcast the Judy Tenuta episode of Space Ghost Coast to Coast tonight. My favorite moment voiced by him: [WHY, IT’S YOUR MAMA, STEVE! GET THE AXE!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkFSIQYTJzw) So much joy brought to me by him, I’ll miss ya. ---

I favorite Space Ghost moment of his was when Space Ghost leaves to do something and Moltar takes over. He’s interviewing some musician and suddenly says, _“…so much so that now **we’re gonna fight with knives!!** ”_ And Zorak immediately yells, _ **"YEAH! TO THE DEATH!!!"** _
