The Brak Show, Vol. 1
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.
Long before embarking on his adventures as an interstellar pirate, and later, serving as a confused sidekick to Space Ghost on Cartoon Planet and Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, Brak was simply a naïve, feline-like youngster residing with his parents, his friend/foe, the malevolent mantis Zorak, and their towering robot warrior neighbor in the suburban area of Spacetown. A collection of fourteen of his escapades can be found in this bizarre and often uproarious two-disc compilation, which also includes a variety of bonus materials, all showcasing Brak's uncontrollable passion for music. Crafted by SG: CTC writers Jim Fortier and Pete Smith, and featuring performances from several cast members of that series (including Andy Merrill as Brak, C. Martin Croker as Zorak, and George Lowe as Brak’s father), The Brak Show reflects its predecessor's love for absurd, stream-of-consciousness humor; episodes revolve around Brak staging a musical ("Psychoklahoma," featuring Charo!), saving his mother from a lovestruck alien blob ("Mobab"), engaging in a staring contest ("The Eye"), and utilizing a time machine to complete his homework ("Time Machine"). While the concepts might sound exceedingly silly, the writing and performances (particularly those of Merrill and Croker) are both whimsical and sharp, surprisingly capturing the boundless imagination of pre-teens. The show's opening sequences, which parody classic sitcoms from yesteryears (like Laverne and Shirley and Petticoat Junction), contribute an additional layer of eccentric charm.
Volume 1 encompasses the complete first season of The Brak Show and adds three episodes from Season 2 for extra enjoyment (the episodes are presented out of their original broadcasting sequence); commentary tracks featuring Smith, Fortier, Merrill, and Brak himself are included for three episodes, while an unusual audio-only radio drama of an unaired pilot plays across a fourth. Highlights also include excerpts from his brief variety show, Brak Presents The Brak Show Starring Brak, alongside an impressive 20-minute compilation of his finest moments from Cartoon Planet and SG: CTC. Such a hefty dose of Brak in one collection might be overwhelming for the casual viewer, but for the die-hard Brak fan in your life, this will be a paradise of comedy.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
