Extreme Ghostbusters

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.

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.

Basically, I just have to say Extreme Ghostbusters is my favorite show! I like it so much that this morning I had a dream that Extreme Ghostbusters was on and then I woke up, turned on my TV and guess what it was on! If Extreme Ghostbusters was your answer then ding ding ding! YOU WIN!!! My favorite character is Eduardo! (I have a crush on him) All in all I give Extreme Ghostbuster 11 on a scale of 10!

Extreme Ghostbusters was a very well done series with action, adventure, and memorable characters: Eduardo, the main character was a slacker, but he could also be brave. Garrett, the hero was always the first to jump into action. Roland was the brains behind the operation, (he was the one to modernize the equipment). Kylie was the encouragement on the team, you could always count on her to free you from the demons. Too bad it was canceled, I would like to see a new season.

"Extreme Ghostbusters" was a really a good series. I used to watch it Sunday mornings when I was young. I was very fond of this show and I enjoyed watching it. I also enjoyed watching "Real Ghostbusters".

My favorite character was Slimer. He was cute and funny. I also liked Kylie Griffin because she was cool and Egon Spengler because he was one of the original ghostbusters.

My favorite episode was the two part saga when the original ghostbusters visited the new ghostbusters. It was good seeing the old guys again. I also liked the episode with the Jersey Devil. That episode was a little scary. Another good episode was "The True Face of a Monster".

Overall I really enjoyed this show and I was sad to see it leave. I give this show 9/10 stars.
