Janine explains it a “mid-life crisis” to the new team, and I can understand the feeling. They take down a spook at a bowling alley with little problem and return in remarkably good spirits. It actually doesn’t go too bad, although Ray, Winston, and Peter are a little surprised at the kick that the upgraded gear has. The suits are a little harder to zip up than they used to be, but they get back on the road like the old days. Ray’s a salesman at a car dealership, while Winston is a pilot.ĭuring the party, the headquarters gets a call about a ghost, and Peter comes up with the idea that the original crew go out and handle it - for old time’s sake, and for Egon’s birthday’s sake. Egon asks Peter about the movie he’s been trying to pitch to Hollywood about their exploits, a possible nod to how pitches for a Ghostbusters 3 were getting tossed all around in the ’90s. The new team is pretty excited to meet the “real” Ghostbusters (all except Eduardo, of course), but they don’t quite click. I forgot how much he would always belittle the green goblin. But they’re all pretty happy to see each other.Įven Slimer’s pretty happy to see them… especially Peter. In any case, everyone’s looking a bit older and - in the case of Peter - a little more unkempt. As it stands, it’s nice to get to it, oh, 23 years later. RGB was one of my top three cartoons in the 80s, and this would have been like a reunion show of all shows.
I don’t even remember Extreme Ghostbusters being on the air, but I know I would have flipped if someone told me that the Real Ghostbusters were coming back for a special episode. Toss in a ghost emergency and some friction between the old and new school of ghostbusting, and we’re in for a wild time. So the premise is that it’s Egon’s 40th birthday, and to celebrate Ray, Peter, and Winston come back to celebrate with him. In the two-part episode “Back in the Saddle,” the Real Ghostbusters come visiting - and I had to see it. There’s another reason why I wanted to spend some time looking into the Extreme Ghostbusters this week, which is because it has a rare moment in the franchise - a licensed cross-over between installments.
