The box set (both DVD and streaming collection) is not merely a convenience; it is a time capsule of a specific media transition. Early episodes feature references to O.J. Simpson and dial-up internet. Later episodes feature references to George W. Bush and The Matrix .

Now, modern re-releases and digital aggregators have attempted to define what "complete" actually means. A true collection should include:

In the pantheon of television history, there are shows that entertain, shows that inform, and then there is Space Ghost Coast to Coast . To the uninitiated, it looks like a cheap rehash of a forgotten 1960s Hanna-Barbera superhero cartoon. To the devoted fan, it is a surrealistic masterpiece, a deconstruction of the talk show format, and the bedrock upon which modern adult animation was built.

: Informative but humor-focused tracks on episodes like "Elevator," "Batmantis," and "Story Book House" featuring creators Mike Lazzo, Keith Crofford, and Matt Maiellaro.
