Added example(s) of new trivia concerning Leonard Ghostal from the "Piledriver" episode.
Added DiffLines:
** Series writer and co-creator Andy Merrill (also the voice of Brak and Lokar) recently confirmed in a Twitter / X interview post that Wrestling/RandySavage was not the original choice for Space Ghost's grandpa Leonard Ghostal for the episode "Piledriver". That honor was originally given to Creator/RLeeErmey which explains some of the lines by Leonard Ghostal sounding like insults, threats and rants that [[Film/FullMetalJacket Gunnery Sergeant Hartman]] would most likely have said. But Ermey's delivery was deemed to be not up to par, so they rewrote and reworked the lines over the course of a weekend at Pete Smith's house to be read in the voice of Randy Savage which in the end worked better as Savage agreed to voice the character.

Old Shame is an IUEO trope. Reclassifying.
* CreatorBacklash: It's commonly believed to be this to Mike Lazzo, who went on record saying that the show is "dead to him". Really, he's just done all he wanted to with the property and doesn't wish to return to it outside of the occasional cameo appearance. It is strange at the same time though, considering this is the show that jumpstarted the entire Cartoon Network into more than a rerun farm.

* 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.
