Toast

"Toast" is the second episode of Space Ghost Coast to Coast season five, and the fifty-ninth overall. It aired on August 14, 1998 on Cartoon Network. It was written by Matt Harrigan, Pete Smith, and Dave Willis.

Out of the blue, Space Ghost announces he is deeply in love with guest Merrill Markoe, but fails to romance her even with advice from Loveline's Adam Carolla. To make matters worse, he gets some stiff competition from Zorak, who knows exactly how to charm her.
