* WriterRevolt: "Joshua" was the last episode written for the 1997 season, which was the longest season of the show. By this time, the writers were exhausted, so they didn't even bother to come up with a plot or do traditional interviews, and instead opted to write a series of sketches, with the motif tying it all together being a paid program starring Space Ghost. Despite their cranky mood (or perhaps because of it), "Joshua" ended up being one of the funniest episodes of the series, thanks to its SomethingCompletelyDifferent style, mixed with quite a bit of SelfDeprecation and DeconstructiveParody.

* ChannelHop: Sort of. The show had already been airing on Creator/CartoonNetwork's late night slot for years, and when [[Creator/AdultSwim [adult swim] ]]was made in 2001 to take over Cartoon Network's late night, they just didn't move it as it fit [adult swim]'s demographics. So it wasn't the show that moved, it was the ''channel'' that moved.

shows.
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: In addition to the final six episodes, three episodes never made it onto DVD at all: "Self Help", "The Mask" (and its companion piece "Le Livre d'Histoire"), and "Gum, Disease". Also "A Space Ghost Christmas", which was never released to DVD in its entirety. Only two songs from the special made it. Also, the unedited versions of:
** "The World Premiere Toon-In" (aka "President's Day Nightmare"): For copyright reasons, all the cartoons featured on the show were cut for the DVD release. Only the wraparounds are shown.
** "Sleeper": A brief scene after the credits with Space Ghost, Zorak and Moltar in the commissary having ditched Slash on the set was removed.
** "Explode": An announcement at the very end of episode from the late BBC DJ JohnPeel, stating that the Ghost Planet will now explode (hence the title of the episode...) was removed.
** "$20.01": The ''Series/UltraSeven'' footage that Joel Hodgson and Space Ghost mock was removed from the DVD and replaced with [[StockFootage non-copyrighted footage]].
** "Glen Campbell": The audio from ''TheSimpsons'' clip at the beginning was removed, along with a line from Space Ghost ("Which one is Homer again? The baby?"), and an additional audio clip of Mr. Burns after the credits.
** "Hipster": Sam Butera sings a portion of "Just a Gigolo", which was cut from the DVD and replaced with an original song.
** "Joshua": William, The King of Imagination's brief appearance was cut for the DVD. Rumor is because Williams Street couldn't track him down to get him to allow his likeness to appear on home video.
** "Cahill": Garrett Morris sings a portion of "For the Love of Money", which was cut from the DVD.
** "Chambraigne": Al Roker was originally part of the Chambraigne commercial. He was replaced on the [=DVDs=] by George Lowe (though some would argue that was an improvement because... it's George freaking Lowe)
** For a time, the unedited versions of the above (as well as the episodes not on DVD) could be obtained through the Adult Swim's "Create Your Custom DVD!" feature, but now that the Adult Swim Store has shut down, the only legal option is to buy the episodes via iTunes.
** Speaking of the Adult Swim store shutting down, for a time it was impossible (aside from buying used copies online for outrageously inflated prices) to obtain Volumes 4 and 5, since they were Adult Swim Store exclusives. However, they have since been made available on iTunes with the rest of the series.
