Talk:Extreme Ghostbusters

Removing word
Remove the word "but" from the first line of the first paragraph. --Happylobster 18:42, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Character/Vehicle/background designs
'Everything familiar to the previous series needed to be retooled design-wise as the character likenesses were owned by Columbia Pictures Television.'

Um, that doesn't make sense. If the designs were part of Columbia it's likely they would've been allowed in the development in the show. It's more likely they were omly able to get few of the designs from DiC... it makes more sense, woulf you agree?

Uncited criticism
As part of a general clean-up effort, I've removed the uncited criticism section and placed it here in case proper citations can be found and it can be restored to main page. The original text is below. Annie D 00:54, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Some Ghostbusters fans often criticize the show for its new graphic style and also for abruptly replacing the original Ghostbusters with a new team. Other detractors of Extreme Ghostbusters have criticized the show for "pushing political correctness" due to how diverse the new team members (a black person, a latino person, a female, and a disabled person) were. It was also heavily criticized for being somewhat graphic and "too dark" for a show aimed at a young audience.

No citation for that? I remember thinking the tokenism was a little ham-fisted when watching the show. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.156.70.57 (talk) 21:47, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

I remember it as well, in fact when I think of the height of 90s political correctness, I often think of this show. A search on the web about this show reveals many fans expressing how they felt the same way. However, since this show was both unpopular and aired in the 90s, finding a proper source to cite for this proves difficult. I believe this criticism has a place on the page and if anyone can find a proper source for this it would benefit the page. 24.207.148.144 (talk) 10:33, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:ExtremeGhostbusters.jpg
Image:ExtremeGhostbusters.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Production section
''Everything familiar to the previous series needed to be retooled design-wise as the character likenesses were owned by Columbia Pictures Television. That meant a new Ecto-1, different looks for Egon, Slimer, Janine and the Firehouse, along with all-new background layouts consistent through Sony cartoons at the time.''

This whole production section doesn't make sense. According the Columbia Pictures Television article, the company became a Sony company in 1989. As a result, Sony would have owned the copyrighted characters of this show and should have had no problem in re-using the character designs. --Jtalledo (talk) 01:00, 23 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure where this was, but it doesn't seem to be based on any sort of fact. I do like the comment currently in the article, that the show changed character designs to demonstrate passage of time.  Hewinsj (talk) 14:56, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Deleted fair-use image
I inserted Image:Two Generations of Ghostbusters.png, a screenshot taken from an AVI recording of the program, to give some idea of what the original Ghostbusters look like in this years-later time period (showing how they've aged). The episode mentioned in the text is apparently considered notable, hence the matching image. The image was un-linked from the article, claiming it was "unnecessary" and contained an "unsourced claim". Wikipedia's non-free guidelines seem to suggest that this use of this non-free image is valid, so I would appreciate an explanation. Vanessaezekowitz (talk) 02:41, 12 June 2009 (UTC)


 * An unsourced statement claiming the episode was notable (when it in all likely was not) does not validate adding the image. Nor is it necessary to show what the "original" Ghostbusters looked like for readers to understand that they have aged. Non-Free images are to be used sparingly, and beyond the one infobox image, must be supported by sourced, critical commentary showing that the scene itself is notable enough for fair use to apply. -- AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 02:52, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

DVD release
This show has started being released on DVD. In Denmark (region 2), you can now buy something named Extreme Ghostbusters - The first season, volume 1 (273 minutes). 87.63.228.190 (talk) 07:29, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

UK syndication
when i was growing up i remember that the second part of the first show wasnt aired, i remember it vividly that the next week it was shown they simply skipped to episode 3

now im watching the show on lovefilm and for some reason THEY dont have the second episode (part 2 of darkness at noon) either

until i can clarify this its not worth putting in the article ..but i for one would like to know the reasons for this and if anyone else remembers 2.28.233.47 (talk) 21:04, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

its ok i have discovered something (and before anyone asks the above post was me i forgot to sign in), ..lovefilm has part two down as episode 50 instead of episode 2, im wondering if they are ordered in airdate order and i simply missed this final episode, i do remember wondering where the second part was

Air Dates?
Does anyone have any ideas why IMDB and TV.com have dramatically different Air Date orders? And why the TV.com version was used? SpyderZ (talk) 20:50, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
