Lovesick

"Lovesick" is the third episode of Space Ghost Coast to Coast season three, and the twenty-first overall. It aired on February 14, 1996 on Cartoon Network. It was written by Scott Lipe, Matt Harrigan, and Alan Laddie.

Space Ghost's girlfriend breaks up with him before his show, which involves an interview with comedian Carrot Top. He's not ready for Carrot Top, but no one's ready for Carrot Top. It's not pretty.
