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. DVD Features:

Summary: The Brak Show, Vol. 1
Comment: Basically, if you like any part of Space Ghost, Brak Show, or the ATHF group, you will get a kick out of this. Its a good dvd to have with friends, especially one to pop in when looking for a good laugh.

Summary: The Brak Show
Comment: Bought 1 & 2 together, and couldn't stop watching until I had seen every episode. I only wish there were more!!

Summary: Very enjoyable Adult Swim offering!
Comment: 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 sitcoms of the 1950's, but a unique and sometimes cerebral show that stands up on its own.
Perhaps we have grown tired of the Simpsons, or their emulators, and the numerous soapy situation comedies that seems to infect the airwaves like a virus. True, there are some winners (including, I think, the Simpsons), but it is always refreshing to take a step back from time to time to mock our media output with slight biting sarcasm, a touch of tribute, and mostly blatant mockery. The Brak Show offers this quite nicely.
A fifth star might have been added were the show to take a few more chances with itself and its subject matter. It seems to leave the viewer always wanting just a little bit more in terms of its tributes to classic TV favorites (and some not-so-favorite). I think the show's creators have done a wonderful job with this offering, and I thoroughly enjoy watching it over and over (it does have great replay value). Still, I just feel that they stopped right at the edge of doing something a little better. Bravo for what they did come up with, though!
The special features are somewhat extensive, and rather enjoyable to watch. I also like that Adult Swim did not slap their branding all over this DVD or the materials therein. There is hardly and advertising for other works of theirs, which I did appreciate. While I am an avid AS fan, I still believe that excessive marketing is a turn-off, especially in regards to a counter-culture experiment! This DVD is a refreshing offering, in those regards.
I would not recommend this for the youngest of kids, but there is little profanity (and nothing severe when harsher words are used; none of the 4-letter words that turn off some parents). There is a good deal of cartoon violence (Zorak tends to get blown up a lot), but no bloodshed and nothing that is realistially mimicable by today's children. I would feel comfortable letting those aged 8 and up watch this collection freely, though. Parents should get a great kick out of the obscure 'adult humor' as well (nothing overt, have no fear).
Bottom line, this is a great addition to any AS fan's collection, as well as lovers of animated comedy, fans of 50's primetime comedies, those who are looking for something different, and also a fairly family-friendly experience.

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

Summary: Crazy and hilarious
Comment: 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... desirous to destroy everything. Anyways in addition to this great show there is a bunch of great extras, easter eggs, commentaries and other videos for this dvd set. It's great, and I highly recommend it.
