Extreme Ghostbusters

This is/was a great TV show! It was a continuation of The Real Ghostbusters cartoons, in which new teens, Eduardo, Kylie, Garrett, and Roland, uncover scientific proof that ghosts exist. Not only that, but they have equipment to catch them! Egon and Janine remain residents of the old, graffitied firehouse. But now, Egon was forced to make his students (the teens) of his class new ghost-slayers, but the old equipment was no good. Roland used his engineering genius to make NEW equipment, along with a sleek new look to Ecto-1. All in all, now Generation X has/had taken over Ghostbusters. Prepare for a wild ride to the extreme, Ghostbusters ARE back!

The Ghostbusters were quite a phenomenon when they released and for good reason. The 80s should often be considered as the golden era of animation and the Real Ghostbusters (RGB) cartoon was among it. After that, there was quite a lull and everything that followed was subpar and lacking.

The 1990s were mostly disappointing until 1997, when the XGB released. When one first sees the commercials, one says to himself "OMG!Another Ghostbusters cartoon! This is going to be huge!". When the day finally came, XGB turned out to be exactly that and more, for the first time ever, exceeding everything of equal effect in the 80s including the (now dated) RGB. We're talking bleeding edge animation here, maintaining the very same uniqueness that made the RGB stand out, only with 1 or 2 generations of evolution in standards, with serious plots replacing the purely humor-centric plots of the RGB and better characters. Are these guys, the XGB team, including Richard Raynis and Fil Barlow, Gods or what?

Some nice elements of the RGB are missing and this includes the musical sequences which was typical of 80s cartoons. However, since the sequences were never matched with visual splendor, they seemed more like surrogate time wasting tactics rather than genuine plus points. Despite this, the songs were good and were missed, although XGB filled the gaps by adding in more content and detail.

XGB represents a major evolution in visual excellence and fine experiences. Even after the series concluded, no show to date has even come close. I've even shown this to men under my command and they love it too. You'll appreciate it even more if you are into Ghostbusters in general.

It's a good tv cartoon. I enjoyed it. I think that it was kind of fun to watch a new Ghostbuster team! I would've enjoyed it more if the orginal Ghostbusters were in it. There was on epsiode where the orignal Ghostbusters were in it. But they were old so it wasn't so good. The only original Ghostbuster was Egon Spengler, Janine Melnitz, and Slimer (if you count him). All in all it is a good series. There was also one episode where Janine did some ghostbusting!

Extreme Ghostbusters was (and still is, although no new shows have been made) my absolute FAVORITE cartoon of all time. the characters were like real people, the animation was superb, and the actors were the best (Jason Marsden{Garrett Miller} went on to Disney films), and it teaches that people who may be considered not right for this job, can do it. I say this because in this show, the Ghostbusters are a black man who is a serious scholar, a Spanish man who is considered a slacker, a man who uses a wheelchair, and a woman, all teens. I wish Extreme Ghostbusters was still on air, as I think it would be a really good show for children now to see the Ghostbusters. They don't know about the movies in the 1980's, nor the cartoons that were out. If it was continued, it would be a hit. Extreme Ghostbusters is one of the best animated series of 1997, and it would be really nice if there was a film made, whether animated or live action. I, like many others, am sorry it was cancelled, but I highly recommend the series to anyone who sees it on video in stores.

Extreme Ghostbusters was indeed a great show, but I'm just sorry it only lasted 40 episodes and I taped every single one of 'em. What this series lacked was a full in-depth look at the individual team members. It also lacked the use of old villains from the original show. For Halloween, I wouldn't mind seeing Sam Hain again bustin' out of the containment unit again and all the Ghostbusters had to stop him. I also wouldn't've mind seeing a Bogeyman episode for this show, but I guess that's what fan fiction is for.
