Extreme Ghostbusters is an animated television series and a follow-up to the animated series The Real Ghostbusters. It is a part of the Ghostbusters Animated Timeline Canon. The series originally aired in the fall of 1997, and features a team of younger university-level Ghostbusters who are led by veteran Ghostbuster Egon Spengler. The series only ran 40 episodes, but brought many new fans to the Ghostbusters Franchise.
Plot[]
Years after the events of The Real Ghostbusters, life in New York has quieted down, and the Ghostbusters retired. Egon Spengler was the only Ghostbuster who still lived at the Firehouse. Egon got a new job teaching at a university, but his course was plagued with low enrollment. After seeing the paranormal events spike after years of no activity, Egon was forced to recruit a new team of Ghostbusters. The new Extreme Ghostbusters team were: Eduardo Rivera, Garrett Miller, Kylie Griffin, and Roland Jackson, all agreed to work for their teacher. Egon trained them on how the equipment worked and how to use it to battle the new ghosts that plagued New York. This new crew battled seemingly more powerful ghosts. However, Egon had aged since his Ghostbuster days, and only occasionally went on missions with the Extreme Ghostbusters following their initial training; Egon's role was more akin the "chief" of the new Ghostbusters. Other characters from the original series included Janine Melnitz, who had come out of retirement to once again handle administrative details for the Extreme Ghostbusters, as well as Slimer. However, Slimer performed less field work and now seemed to be more of Egon's pet.

Recurring Themes[]
One notable recurring theme is that whenever a ghost has done something, when they are trapped or destroyed, everything they did is undone. Here are some examples:
- The demon Gu Mo steals people's bones, but after he is trapped, his victims have their bones back.
- Lotan destroys all technology in his presence. After he is destroyed, all technology he damaged works again.
- The Vampire Clowns ate a lot of people and transformed Eduardo into one of them. After all of them were captured, Eduardo returned to normal and all of their devoured victims reappeared.
Another recurring theme is the romantic interest that a number of the main characters have for each other.
Such as Eduardo and fellow ghostbuster Kylie's ongoing love-hate relationship, where throughout the series they constantly have bickering sometimes heated arguments with each other but have also been shown to be the most concerned for each other. For example Eduardo is often the most distressed when something happens to Kylie, often being the one who saves her from life threatening situations and their occasional subconscious flirtations with each other.
Another example is Janine's near obsessive affection for Egon, with Janine often making advances on him in vain as Egon is often completely oblivious to Janine's feelings for him and even to his own feelings for her.
Development[]
Trend Masters drove the creation of a new animated series.[1] The dynamic among the new team was influenced by "The Breakfast Club."[2] When the concept of Extreme Ghostbusters was still in its formative stage around 1996, Fil Barlow's initial design of Egon had him as an ambassador to the ghost realm who was trying to stop an impending war on the other side with demons and ghosts. "Hell" was considered a bad idea for a children's show and was changed to a war between ghosts and ghouls. Egon spoke on behalf of humans at Ghost Councils. Barlow liked the idea of the new team entering an abandoned Firehouse and Egon appearing out of thin air in his ambassador garb murmuring in an ancient ghost language. He had spent so long on the other side he was barely able to speak English.[3][4] In the early design process, the tech expert was a character named Julia.[5] The character was named Julia. Barlow made 17 concept drawings and faxed them from his Australian studio to Richard Raynis in Los Angeles. Concept 14 had Julia with a chest piece device. The character shifted from Julia to Roland. Barlow kept the dreadlocks but it was too hip for Raynis' vision of the character. The dreadlocks changed to corn rows then to the final conservative haircut.[6] Barlow felt that the show had too many male characters so he pushed for more than one female in the cast, and pitched Lucy. Raynis really wanted a male character in a wheelchair, but Barlow sent Lucy in leg braces (or calipers). He drew the crutches so they could be used for sucking up ghosts and her head would be at the correct eye-line for the other characters to play off and making it easier for the directors to work with. The calipers were rejected and Raynis still wanted a wheelchair.[7] Barlow submitted Lucy in a wheelchair next.[8] Raynis encouraged Barlow to draw a "jock in a wheelchair."[9] Barlow simply changed the gung-ho Lucy design into a male and Lucas was created.[10] Again, Barlow attempted to get Lucas in calipers during early design because Barlow felt crutches were easier to draw than a wheel chair but was over ruled.[11] Raynis worked with the writers and directors on developing Lucas's personality and chose the voice actor, Jason Marsden himself. Again, Barlow attempted incorporate calipers during early design because he felt crutches were easier to draw than a wheel chair. Ultimately, the final design had him in a wheel chair.
Before the show was pitched to a network, Barlow did an initial sketch with three female characters, Lucy, a Goth, and a "troubled" third that Raynis rejected because it coincidentally was a close representation of a family member of his. Raynis liked the Goth and wanted to develop her some more. Raynis wanted her to be diminutive.[12] At some point after Roland and Lucas came the original concept design of Kylie. Her costume was rejected but later became one of her civilian outfits on the show.[13] She also was armed with a suction weapon designed by Matthew Brady, on artist on Barlow's team. The weapon was later used as a design for the Proton Packs in the Trendmasters Extreme Ghostbusters Classics: Action Figures. In 1996, Barlow prepared Kylie's main model pack while still in Australia, including expressions to assist the animators.[14] At first, there was resistance from the Sony storyboard artists when they first had to work with Kylie but by the end of the season she was accepted.[15]
In early drafts for the show, Janine Melnitz was a history teacher at a local college and mentored the new Ghostbusters team, comprised of her four young students: Kylie, a girl genius with a knowledge of the occult; Eduardo, a slacker who dreamed of running in the Olympics and had a serious crush on Kylie; Lucas, a wheelchair-bound young athlete with a hair-trigger temper; and Roland, a clumsy but good-hearted "gentle-giant" who is a whiz with machinery. Egon helped with refurbishing the equipment. In addition to Slimer serving as the comic relief, there was originally going to be a new pet goblin of the Ghostbusters named Gnat.[16] Lucas was changed to Garrett, Eduardo's aspirations were dropped, Egon became the professor and main mentor, and Gnat was excised completely. The series was always only going to be 40 episodes.[17] There was a delay in getting Ray Parker, Jr.'s approval to use the "Ghostbusters" song. The crew finally got the okay 30 hours before the first mix was due.[18] The voice cast recorded in the evenings to accommodate Alfonso Ribeiro and Jason Marsden because they were also working on sitcoms during the day at the time.[19] Billy West was offered the role of Slimer but was lied to. He was told Frank Welker did not want to reprise the role. It might have been an issue about money.[20] Laura Summer was asked to audition for the role of Janine and was told she got it but the role went to Pat Musick instead.[21] Rino Romano auditioned for Eduardo but did not get the role. Two child actors were subsequently cast. One was 16 years old. Those in charge weren't happy and Romano got a call back two weeks later. It was between him and another actor. He did not get the role. A week or two later, Romano was brought back in again but for a paid audition in which he would record with the cast. Romano sat next to Jason Marsden who did a spit take and thought he was a previous actor previously cast because they looked alike. Romano finally was cast as Eduardo.[22][23]

IDW Comics[]
The Extreme Ghostbusters reside in Dimension 68-E separate from The Real Ghostbusters of 68-R. [32] After an inexplicable cessation of supernatural activity, the Real Ghostbusters split up and went their separate ways, leaving only Egon Spengler to tend to the containment unit. Eventually returning to teaching for several years, Egon was leading a small class on paranormal studies when ghosts returned to New York in a big way. Egon recruited his students -- Eduardo Rivera, Kylie Griffin, Garrett Miler, and Roland Jackson -- as the newest iteration of the Ghostbusters. (And since they were his only students, the only ones even remotely prepared to step into the shoes of the original team!) Under Egon and Janine's guidance, the Extreme Ghostbusters faced and defeated some very serious threats but he doesn't give out extra credit for saving the world. [33]
Ghash haunted the Bronx Zoo one night. After he appeared in the Congo Gorilla Forest exhibit in the southwest section of the zoo, the Extreme Ghostbusters arrived to deal with him. Garrett Miller grandstanded the others and engaged Ghash alone. Ghash blocked the single Proton Stream. He was alarmed by something and flew away. Soon after, Proteus crossed over into their dimension in search of The Real Ghostbusters. The Extreme Ghostbusters blasted him but it had no affect on him. He pulled Garrett Miller's proton stream and examined him up close. Proteus knew he hadn't found his quarry. He teleported back to the Erie to formulate a new plan.
The Extreme Ghostbusters and Prime Ghostbusters later met during the latter's study of the multiverse with their Interspatial Teleportation Unit. Egon Spengler, of the prime dimension, succumbed to hay fever and sneezed while he opened a portal to Dimension 68-R and instead opened a portal a few degrees off the proper vibrational frequency. He met the Egon Spengler of 68-E and his team of Extreme Ghostbusters. They agreed to collaborate on a paper about the science of pure luck as a result. The Ghostbusters realized 68-E was like an alternate future to 68-R. Egon 68-E even shared many but not all of the same memories and experiences of his 68-R counterpart. They saw it as a fascinating opportunity to study the potential of timeline divergence more directly. But they also noticed Egon 68-E resembled Roger Baugh, an ex-boyfriend of their Janine Melnitz. It was decided it would be for the best if they didn't introduce the two to each other. The two teams encountered a Class 7 together. Egon Spengler later recruited them to help trapping all of Connla's Army on Liberty Island. Soon after, the Extreme Ghostbusters were one of teams that came back to help recapture several entities missing from the Containment Unit. Back in their home dimension, the Extreme Ghostbusters dealt with the ghost of Nervous Nelly, an animal rights extremist, who liberated the animals of Central Park by tricking ghosts into possessing them for a second life.

- ↑ Fil Barlow deviantArt 3/1/12 Fil Barlow says: "I've been digging through my conceptual designs for Extreme Ghostbusters and found this early sketch of Egon. This was an idea I proposed to Executive Producer Richard Raynis while the concept of the show was still in it's formative stage. I did all of the initial XGB design of the main characters from Australia. was pitching the idea of Egon as an ambassador to the ghost realm trying to stop an impending war on the other side (I originally suggested between demons and ghosts, but when hell was nixed as a bad idea for a kids show I changed it to a war between ghosts and ghouls). I always liked the idea of the new team entering an abandoned Firehouse and Egon appearing out of thin air in his ambassador garb murmuring in an ancient ghost language. He had spent so long on the other side he was barely able to speak English. I was asked why the final design of Egon had a ponytail, it was a holdout from this concept. I just couldn't let it go."
- ↑ Proton Charging "Interview: Fil Barlow" 10/9/1998 Fil Barlow says: "I had a whole other direction I proposed to Richard when I began designing for the series in Australia. I wanted to make Egon a warlock type character (long hair, goatee, robes and a staff), spending much of his time trying to settle a treaty between the ghosts, humans and the demons. My original line up of the main characters had a demon in it. I had Egon as a sort of politician speaking on behalf of the humans at Ghost Councils. This direction was seen as too complicated and difficult to manage as the series would have to be handled by many writers."
- ↑ Fil Barlow deviantArt Early Concept Lucy Part 2, post reply Fil Barlow says: "Haha, Roland also began as a female! I really liked Lucy but Richard had the vision and final say."
- ↑ Fil Barlow deviantArt Early Concept Julia 4/22/13 Fil Barlow says: "This is how Roland began in the early development phase of Extreme Ghostbusters. Executive Producer Richard Raynis wanted to see this character as a male. So for a while Roland had long dreads, which were too hip for the bookish character that Richard had in mind. So the dreads became cornrows, then ended up with Roland's final, more conservative, haircut. I kept pitching different ideas for devices, Julia had a chest piece, this is by no means a well crafted drawing, but a rough that was one of many used to triangulate the characters into what they became. As you can see, this was page 14 of 17 conceptual designs faxed that day to LA from my Australian studio."
- ↑ Fil Barlow deviantArt Early Concept Lucy Part 1 Fil Barlow says: "Back in 1996 while I was setting up my studio in Australia, Executive Producer Richard Raynis from Columbia Tristar (Sony) worked from LA with me visualizing the characters for what was to be Extreme Ghostbusters. It was so early in development that the characters I designed had no names so I would randomly assign them ones. Richard wanted a male character in a wheelchair, I was pushing for more female characters in the line-up and I could only foresee problems with the wheels in animation (that's a lot of ellipses and perspective to get right), so I sent him this design of "Lucy" and put her in leg braces (or calipers). I tried to show that the crutches could be used for sucking up ghosts, also that her head would be at the correct eye-line for the other characters to play off, making it easier for the Directors who would have to cut down to someone sitting all the time. Needless to say the calipers were rejected, Richard really wanted a wheelchair so I went back to the drawing board."
- ↑ Fil Barlow deviantArt Early Concept Lucy Part 2 Fil Barlow says: "This is the second attempt at Lucy. My boss Richard Raynis wanted the character in the wheelchair to be fearless and gung ho! I did my best to sell the fact that a female character could easily accomplish the same role. Richard wasn't convinced, what I was offering didn't fit the character he was forming in his mind. Resigned I simply changed the Lucy design into a male and Garrett was born."
- ↑ Fil Barlow deviantArt 4/11/13 Fil Barlow says: "I'm glad that Richard was, pardon the pun, pushing for a wheelchair bound character. It was actually a brave and risky move on his part and it could have easily backfired. In truth it was anything but safe. He had no pressure from government or anyone in management above him to create Garrett, he simply wanted to do it. I had my reservations mainly for practical reasons (I'm not a prop guy and thankfully Garrett's wheelchair was handled by the Prop Department). I must admit I was genuinely worried about offending people who use wheelchairs by appearing to caricature them negatively, there were no scripts or voice actor to work from when I designed him. By 1996 I had been working with Richard for a decade, I had learned to trust his vision. I could make suggestions, but he made the final call. Richard encouraged me to draw a "jock in a wheelchair", he chose the voice actor, worked with the script department and Directors on how he wanted to develop Garrett's personality. After I saw Garrett in action I had no reservations, he could handle any situation with confidence, the show even had some stair jokes. To be honest XGB would have been pretty dull without Garrett."
- ↑ Fil Barlow deviantArt 3/7/12 #1 Fil Barlow says: "Lucy was the precursor to Garret, I felt that the show was too guy heavy so I was pushing for more than one female in the cast, this was also before Kylie was created. Richard really wanted a male character in a wheelchair, so I simply changed the gung-ho Lucy design into a male."
- ↑ Fil Barlow deviantArt 3/7/12 #2 Fil Barlow says: "I tried to make the clothing on XGB as simple as possible because I don't like drawing props. So Garret's wheelchair (those wheels!!) was something I was keen to avoid in my department, I tried to get him in calipers in early design because crutches are easier to draw. Fortunately the Prop department eventually took his wheel chair off my hands."
- ↑ Fil Barlow Early Concept Female Characters 4/21/13 Fil Barlow says: "So, because you asked, here is the first sketch I ever did of Kylie, before she had a name. This was done very early in development long before the show was pitched to a network. Executive Producer Richard Raynis was still in the process of figuring out who he wanted in the team. I intended to throw as many female characters in the mix as early as possible. The first design, in the lineup above, evolved into Lucy, who became Garrett. The third one Richard rejected outright because it looked to close to a family member of his, which creeped him out. The middle character, the Goth, he liked and wanted to develop some more. It was his decision to make her diminutive, we struggled for a bit over that. Anyway this is how Kylie began, as a part of a character smorgasbord."

I'm like 'How did I get a call back? They already cast it.' 'Ah, they may not be happy so they're gonna have you come back in.' Wow. Sue was so nice to me. It's between me and someone else. She says just do what you do. I said okay. So I did it and I didn't it and I was like man, I was sure. I was I really wanted this. Wow. **** I guess it's not for me. Whatever. Another week or two go by and they say, 'Listen, they're gonna have you back in.' I said, "Really? Are you kidding me?' 'Yeah, here's the thing. They're going to have you record with the cast. So it's an audition. They're pay you but it's a paid audition.' It was so nerve-wracking to have this but I was like 'Okay, give me a shot. I'm gonna do my best.' So the whole point of this setup is I walk in, I sit and I look down the aisle like I said 'holy **** there's this and there's everybody and there's Tara who I know all right' and then I look at Marsden who's sitting right next to me and I go "hey" and he looks at me and I've never seen this in real life before, he goes "hey" and he does literally a spit take or a triple take and he goes "yeah." I look as if I go 'What's up dude like what's up' and he goes "oh nothing" and I go "what?" and he goes "you look just like the other two dudes" and I was like "oh, all right." He thought I was the other guy. He talked to me for a couple seconds first anyway. That was that."

I think he was 16 and then you came in and you--as soon as you spoke, I think we I just remember feeling like 'oh this fits. This fits really good. I hope he stays.' And thank goodness you did."
