Ep 5. Sharrock

Space Ghost Coast to Coast is an animated talk show that aired on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block. In this show, the titular character, Space Ghost, interviews various celebrity guests while simultaneously battling villains and dealing with his incompetent crew. The show's animation style is unique in that it takes classic Space Ghost cartoons and superimposes them over live-action footage.

In season 3 episode 5, titled "Sharrock," Space Ghost welcomes musical guest Ronnie and the Ronnies to the show. However, the interview quickly turns sour when Space Ghost becomes obsessed with a bird that he believes is inside his helmet. The bird, named Sharrock, becomes the focus of the episode as Space Ghost tries to find a way to get rid of it.

Meanwhile, Ronnie and the Ronnies perform their hit song "Poodle Rockin'," but Space Ghost is too busy trying to catch Sharrock to pay attention. The band becomes increasingly frustrated with Space Ghost's behavior and eventually storms off the set.

Throughout the episode, Space Ghost's crew tries to help him get rid of Sharrock, but their efforts only seem to make things worse. Moltar, the show's director, brings in a hawk to catch the bird, but it ends up attacking the entire crew instead. Zorak, the show's musical director and Space Ghost's archnemesis, tries to use his powers to get rid of Sharrock, but he accidentally transfers the bird's consciousness into Space Ghost's body.

As the episode nears its end, Space Ghost becomes more and more frantic in his attempts to get rid of Sharrock. At one point, he imagines himself in a Western-style shootout with the bird, complete with an old-fashioned saloon. In the end, he decides to simply ignore Sharrock and hope that it goes away on its own.

The episode concludes with Ronnie and the Ronnies returning to the stage to perform a new song called "Ghost Blue" that they wrote in honor of Space Ghost. However, Space Ghost is still preoccupied with Sharrock and doesn't even notice the performance. The episode ends with Sharrock still inside Space Ghost's helmet, suggesting that the bird will be a recurring character in future episodes.

Overall, "Sharrock" is a hilarious and absurd episode of Space Ghost Coast to Coast that perfectly encapsulates the show's offbeat humor and unique animation style. Fans of the series will appreciate the show's signature blend of live-action and animation, as well as its surreal sense of humor.
