N–AN–A"Baffler Meal"December 31, 2003

Space Ghost has made a deal with the "Burger Trench" restaurant, and ends up regretting it when their mascots, the Aqua Teen Hunger Force, show up and try to steal the spotlight from him. Somehow, Colonial Man (Space's nemesis from a previous episode) is connected to this, and the future of classic rock hangs in the balance as Space Ghost decides what to do. The characters, while similar to ATHF, were still far from being developed: Master Shake was the leader of the team and looked much different than he does currently (he had no hands and had an evil smile), Frylock was a ditzy and annoyingly high-pitched character made with krinkle cut fries, and only Meatwad was like how he is today aside from his depressing demeanor. Master Shake and Frylock had voices similar to Ignignokt and Err, respectively. Master Shake is also a chocolate milkshake in this episode, as opposed to the regular series in which the actual milkshake part of him is green (lime flavored).

This episode is not part of the actual show. It was originally written as a Space Ghost Coast to Coast episode, but was rejected due to it being too Aqua Teen heavy, and not enough Space Ghost. Once Space Ghost Coast to Coast died off, Matt Maiellaro and Dave Willis pitched Aqua Teen Hunger Force as its own show to Cartoon Network and it soon became a hit. Matt and Dave later returned to the "Baffler Meal" script. They produced and directed it to its original intent, and it aired toward the end of the third season of Aqua Teen Hunger Force. It was eventually released as a DVD extra on the second volume DVD set for Aqua Teen Hunger Force, as opposed to being included in a Space Ghost Coast to Coast volume.

Season 2: 2003

Several trends involving the episode names are noticeable in this season.
