Product Description:
What happens when two adults get together and have children? And what if those children grow up and go to school? That's the just-crazy-enough-to-work premise behind "The Brak Show." Also Brak is in it.Running Time: 161 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY UPC: 053939686722
Amazon.com:
Long before his stint as an intergalactic pirate, and later, as an addled sidekick to Space Ghost on Cartoon Planet and Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, Brak was just a naïve, feline-esque kid living with his parents, his pal/nemesis, the evil mantis Zorak, and a massive warrior robot neighbor in the suburb of Spacetown. Fourteen of his misadventures have been compiled on this weird and frequently hilarious two-disc set, which also features a bundle of extras, all highlighted by Brak’s irrepressible need for song. Written and produced by SG: CTC writers Jim Fortier and Pete Smith, and featuring several performers from that series as well (including Andy Merrill as Brak, C. Martin Croker as Zorak, and George Lowe as Brak’s Dad), The Brak Show echoes its predecessor’s penchant for absurd, stream-of-consciousness comedy; episodes hinge around Brak putting on a musicial ("Psychoklahoma," featuring Charo!), rescuing his mom from a lovesick alien blob ("Mobab"), a staring contest ("The Eye"), and using a time machine to finish his homework ("Time Machine"). If the premises seem too silly for words, the writing and performances (especially Merrill and Croker) are both giddy and clever, and in a very odd way, accurately evoke the anything-goes imagination of pre-teens. The show’s credit sequences, which spoof popular sitcoms from the past (Laverne and Shirley, Petticoat Junction), add another layer of quirky charm.
Volume 1 compiles the entire first season of The Brak Show, and tosses in three episodes from Season 2 for good measure (the episodes are presented out of their broadcast order); commentaries by Smith, Fortier, Merrill and Brak himself are featured on three episodes, while an odd audio-only radio play of an unaired pilot is heard over a fourth. Clips from his short-lived variety show, Brak Presents The Brak Show Starring Brak, and a terrific 20-minute barrage of his best moments from Cartoon Planet and SG: CTC, round out the extras. So much Brak in a single package may be too much for the casual fan, but for the Brak obsessive in your life, this will be comedy nirvana. --Paul Gaita

Space Ghost has become quite the cult icon, almost a subculture within a subculture, so much so that one of the characters, Brak, has his own spinoff series with another SG icon, Zorak. The result is a mixture of 'Leave it to Beaver' meets 'I Love Lucy' (thanks primarily to Brak's father) meets 'The Flintstones' meets a blender, some cartoon violence and sub-standard humor, plus a constant barrage of musical interludes. The end result is not only an homage to both Space Ghost and the family-friendly ... Read More

If you like what I call "stupid humor", you'll love Brak! If Adult Swim's comedy appeals to you, check this set out.

Only lasted two seasons. That is So sad. The Brak show, volume 1 is full of great storylines and crazy characters. Brak is accompanied by his insect pal Zorak and they go on adventures... well, they don't so much go on adventures as much as they just seem to be more like the victims of circumstance. That's what's so hilarious though. Brak breaks out into song at the drop of a hat, Braks dad is always cynical and arrogant. Zorak is hateful and mean, Brak's mom is kind and sweet. Thunderclees is.. umm... ... Read More

Ok, it's very simple, I'm going to assume that you liked The Brak Show and that is why you are interested in buying the DVD. If you have never been introduced to that very special boy, then you have some catching up to do. That is if you enjoyed the other Adult Swim "Random-Comedy-That-Doesn't-Make-A-Lick-Of-Sense" line-up, then Brak might just be the funniest thing you will ever see.
It's very simple, I understand why alot of people are not interested in this type of comedy, and thats cool. But ... Read More

Well, I'm a huge Brak fan. I have a few of his CDs and they still crack me up, what can I say. I had never seen the Brak show but picked it up on a whim -- it turns out I wasn't missing much.
Brak is great and all, I love the character they have for him -- but this show just really isn't very funny. And I'm all for stupid funny, nonsense funny, etc. Brak has a few clever lines, but most of it is just pretty boring. It isn't appropriate for kids, and not funny for adults. Don't really know what ... Read More
