Cartoon Planet was indeed a
spin-off of
Space Ghost Coast to Coast. It premiered in late 1995 on
TBS, in an weekday hourlong form. There were numerous
comedic sketches and
musical numbers, starring
Space Ghost,
Zorak, and
Brak. They were also interspersed with older
featurette cartoons, such as
Popeye and
Looney Tunes.
In mid
1996, the show was moved to the
Cartoon Network, and after a few months of the hourlong daily format, the show was given an
overhaul. It lost the featurettes, since there was already an
overabundance of featurette package shows on the channel at the time. The sketches that existed were repackaged into
half hour episodes and new
sketches were done as well.
In all, 354 sketches, themes, and songs were spread out over the 22 episodes that aired on Cartoon Network. They are as follows: (* denotes sketches with writeups. If there's any writeups on the list that aren't marked, /msg me.)

Even though the show had a decent enough dedicated following, was shifted around the weekly schedule of Cartoon Network (mostly in the after midnight hours) until fall of 1999, when it was phased out in favor of other projects (including Toonami and Cartoon Cartoons). Space Ghost and Zorak were still seen weekly on the talk show. Other than cameos, Brak was missing from TV until early 2001, when there was a a pair of pilot episodes of Brak presents The Brak Show starring Brak, a talk show in the same vein of SGC2C. Later in the year The Brak Show, a 50's-style sitcom parody, began airing.
Some of the most popular sketches of Cartoon Planet were also compiled into a couple of CD's released by Kid Rhino. The first release was an all musical CD, Modern Music for Swinging Superhroes released in early 1997, which sold out quickly. Most of the musical tracks from that CD were combined with comedy sketches to make up Space Ghost's Musical Bar-B-Que, which was released later that year. In 1998, Space Ghost's Surf & Turf was released, with more musical tracks and comedy sketches.
