This version of Ghostbusters is GREAT! Way too many people out there want to try and view this as maybe a 'sequel-ish' kind of film or some kind of commentary on society. Just stay away from that BS!

This show is meant to be a comedy and it succeeds very well on that mark! The original was full of similar kinds of 'groaner' type jokes, with people in the theater when it came out just laughing their asses off at them. This movie has a multitude of moments like that! It's a great comedy with more than enough 'winks' at the original to make it perfect!

If you watch this as a MOVIE, then you won't be disappointed. But, then again, comedy is a subjective thing, so your mileage may vary. As an original Ghostbusters fan (and theater viewer) this took me back to the that time where me and my friends just laughed out loud and came out feeling great! If this doesn't give you the same feeling, that's too bad.

I've loved most of the British shows that have made it across the water, and this one is exceptional! I love that they don't have disguised 'professional' bakers, just people who love this as a hobby; they do this as a true 'labor of love'!

Another aspect is the judging. They don't hide catty commentary or mean-spirited comebacks in the 'helpful' comments they give, they're honestly decent in their feedback and don't make 'authoritarian' statements such as 'this is wrong' when it comes to the taste of an item. Rather, they might say 'I'm not as keen on (whatever), but the design is lovely'.

Such a nice diversion from the 'reality' food shows in America! Pay attention Food Network execs!!
