Dreams

"Dreams" is the first episode of Space Ghost Coast to Coast season nine, and the eighty-seventh overall. It aired on January 11, 2004 on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. It was written by Matt Harrigan.

Space Ghost wants an animal mascot for his new foundation for "retardos" (his word, not mine). He really wants Lassie but gets Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, instead.
