Farewell, Tad Ghostal, now even more spectral than ever. George Lowe, the man who brought Space Ghost to life on various Turner networks for many years, passed away on March 2 following a prolonged illness. He was 67. As he once humorously put it to Conan O’Brien, “I was already dead when you were born, and I’ll be dead long before you pass away.
George Lowe was associated with Adult Swim even before it debuted. Following his broadcasting education, he embarked on a career doing voiceovers for local ads in Atlanta. This led him to provide voiceovers for TBS, which eventually introduced him to the creators of Space Ghost Coast to Coast. The series ran for a decade, and Lowe’s Space Ghost character continued appearing in various contexts. Most recently, he reprised his role as Space Ghost on Jellystone! on Cartoon Network.
Following the announcement of his passing, colleagues from Lowe’s projects on Adult Swim started sharing their tributes. On Twitter, James Urbaniak (who voiced Dr. Thaddeus “Rusty” Venture in The Venture Bros.) expressed, “I’ll be mimicking him forever.” MC Chris, who collaborated with Lowe on Space Ghost Coast to Coast and Sealab 2021, shared anecdotes about meeting Lowe at the Adult Swim premiere party (just days before 9/11) and touring his personal folk art collection on TikTok. “He was a talented artist,” Chris stated. “He was always kind to me, even when he didn’t have to be.
The outstanding quality of Lowe’s portrayal of Space Ghost stemmed from his polished and professional demeanor. As a seasoned broadcaster, Lowe managed to deliver the most absurd statements with the ease of a car salesman at an Atlanta Toyota dealership. A Twitter user, in particular, highlighted the amusing scene from the SGC2C episode “Knifin’ Around,” where Space Ghost humorously declared sulfur as his favorite food to his wife, Björk.
As a film enthusiast, I’d confidently say that the genuine charm of SGC2C hinges on its authentic veneer of competence. It’s this unique blend of anarchy and reliability that sets it apart from the more scattered and isolating Adult Swim content like 12 oz. Mouse, making SGC2C a standout in the sea of animated programming.
Space Ghost Coast to Coast was incredibly inspiring during the internet era. By repurposing Hanna Barbera cartoons, editing and modifying them, recording voices in a closet within Atlanta’s Turner building, it made comedy creation seem attainable for people living in less populated areas. Moreover, this show provided Lowe with his first-ever national broadcast exposure, launching his career.
Below are some of the best performances of Lowe as Space Ghost.
