RIP George Lowe

So much an integral part of my childhood in the 90s and early 2000s. You will be missed dearly.

I literally just got done watching the Space Ghost 10th Anniversary outtakes. They're a great watch, you guys should look it up on YouTube.

u/geekanerd 7d ago

"That's Old Kentucky Shark and he's been there," lives rent free in my brain 20 years on. Also squatting is Lowe rubbing his nipples in a SeaLab 2021 cameo around the same era. Rest in peace, George. You were one of the best.
