With Extreme Ghostbusters, the Ghostbusters franchise scores its fourth smash hit success and is quite likely the best venture of the entire franchise, although perhaps the most different. This series introduces superb new characters and some modernized weaponry (proton packs and traps). Its very sad that it lasted only for 1 season but that seems to be the idea from the beginning. During the 80s times, one had to watch 20-30 episodes of a cartoon (the good or top ones) simply in order to "digest" the concept and progress of the series. Occasionally, they'd thrown in a few good ideas, stories and action sequences and your brain is expected to put that all together over a large time frame with the bunch of viewed episodes before you can judge if what you saw or are seeing is actually good? This is not the case with XGB where each stand alone episode is a masterpiece and can be appreciated individually. The only nitpick I can think of is that like everything else, XGB is sometimes guilty of not living up to its own standards when it came to a few episodes.
