Brak Presents the Brak Show Starring Brak


Brak Presents the Brak Show Starring Brak is a two-part live-action/animated musical comedy television special produced by Williams Street for Cartoon Network which aired on February 20, 2000. It is a spin-off of Space Ghost Coast to Coast and serves as a predecessor to The Brak Show, which would air the following year on the network's nighttime programming block Adult Swim.

History

On July 2, 1999, at the Cartoon Network panel at Dragon Con in Atlanta, Georgia, Andy Merrill, C. Martin Croker, Pete Smith and Nina Bishop announced they were developing a new series starring Brak.

Plot

Brak is the host of a musical variety show while Zorak is trying to sabotage it. The show features celebrity appearances by Monica, Freddie Prinze Jr., The Chieftains, Diamond Dallas Page, and Jo Dee Messina. Grape Ape and Wally Gator make an appearance as well.

Soundtrack

In 2000, the soundtrack Brak Presents the Brak Album Starring Brak was released. The 30 tracks are taken in order from the two "Brak Presents the Brak Show Starring Brak" specials, with the exception of the three bonus tracks and a re-recording of "We're Buds" which was originally a duet between Brak and Jo Dee Messina, but appears on the album with Brak singing both parts.
