Developed by Jeff Kline and Richard Raynis, Extreme Ghostbusters is a Sequel Series to The Real Ghostbusters (which was itself a Spin-Off of the first Ghostbusters film), airing for one season starting in late 1997.The show takes place ten years after the original Ghostbusters disbanded after they captured all the ghosts. While Ray Stantz, Peter Venkman, and Winston Zeddemore move away, Egon Spengler stays in New York City, living in the Firehouse with Slimer, maintaining the containment unit, and teaching as an instructor for the class "Paranormal Phenomena 101" at a community college. But when construction workers inadvertently release a new breed of ghosts, Egon has little choice but to form a new team of Ghostbusters using his students: standoffish Goth Kylie Griffin, wisecracking slacker Eduardo Rivera, Gadgeteer Genius Roland Jackson and Handicapped Badass Garrett Miller. Janine Melnitz, Egon's fifth and final student, returns to work as the Ghostbusters' receptionist, accountant and collector. Slimer returns to his role as Non-Human Sidekick, when he's not eating everything in sight.The show ran for 40 episodes and apparently was only ever intended for one season, though went out on a high note.In 2013, an alternate version of Kylie, now a protégé of Ray instead of Egon, appeared in IDW Publishing's Ghostbusters comic book which mainly follows the movie continuity.Starting in February 2021 the series is being uploaded to the official Ghostbusters YouTube channel.note New episodes premiere on Wednesdays. | |

Arbitrary Skepticism | |
| Extreme Ghostbusters / int_13eea985 | comment |
Arbitrary Skepticism: People (such as Mayor McShane) don't believe in ghosts, believing instead that the original team tricked people and the new team is continuing the tradition. Note, however, that this series is in continuity with The Real Ghostbusters, which featured many public instances of supernatural activity in New York, as well as others across the planet. In the premiere, Eduardo says that anyone that believes in ghosts has half a brain cell. Coming face-to-face with Slimer changes his outlook, however. The series justified this by pointing out most people believe the fantastic hoaxes were cooked up by the Ghostbusters as part of a scam. On at least one occasion though, the police showed that they did at least believe that the group didn't rob a bank. But as the crook had one of their proton guns, they were forced to bring them in for questioning. In "Moby Ghost", even the Ghostbusters themselves are skeptical of the Loch Ness Monster. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Extreme Ghostbusters / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: While the show retains the trademark Ghostbusters humor, it treats the horror elements more seriously than any other entry in the franchise (including the movies) so far – especially considering that The Real Ghostbusters became Lighter and Softer as time went on, at the behest of Executive Meddling. The difference is perhaps exemplified by the way the Firehouse◊ exterior◊ was depicted in both series. | |

Cool Old Guy | |
| Extreme Ghostbusters / int_17501df2 | comment |
Cool Old Guy: Egon. The "old" part is very much downplayed, as he's still only in his early forties - the point is that just 'cause he's a decade older doesn't mean he can't still let ghosts have it. Also the other members of the original Ghostbusters during their appearance in the finale. When coming up against a ghost the current 'Busters were having trouble with, they take it down in a matter of seconds. | |

Not as You Know Them | |
| Extreme Ghostbusters / int_1b0040c6 | comment |
Not as You Know Them: The original Ghostbusters, when they return. Just for example, the idealistic, dedicated-to-the-paranormal Ray Stantz... is a used car salesman. Though nothing has changed about their personalities or behavior; it's just that ghostbusting was so important to the characters, it was jarring to see them living without it. And for the record, Ray's current profession is more the result of a destructive incident at a university in Idaho than a bona fide career choice. (Not that he's bitter about it.) | |

The Virus | |
| Extreme Ghostbusters / int_1c7555f1 | comment |
The Virus: Achira, the first ghost our heroes encounter, spreads a disease that leaves hideous green boils on everyone's skin. They were then revealed to be her offspring, and burst off in the form of small bat-things. And the Monster Clown in 'Killjoys'. The Vampire analogy is apt. | |

Ironic Fear | |
| Extreme Ghostbusters / int_23747fd7 | comment |
Ironic Fear: In the "What Do They Fear?" Episode, Eduardo's fear is of deathnote specifically, his own - he's attacked by a zombie version of himself - ironic both because he was taunting Kylie earlier claiming she was afraid of death, and because he's always joking about it with his catch phrase "Maybe s/he's dead". All of their fears, really. Kylie, despite not really fazed by most of the creatures they deal with week to week, is afraid of maggots. Garrett, who can't really get far without his wheelchair, is afraid of tight spacesnote elevators.... Roland, who probably has the best grip on technology of the group, is afraid of his technology turning on him. Slimer, who is green and will eat almost anything, is afraid of broccoli. | |

Ascended Fanboy: Three of the new team qualify in different ways. Garrett was a die-hard fan of the originals, which was why he signed up for Egon's class. Roland, being a techie, was quite fascinated by Ecto-1 and their hardware in general. Kylie has a massive interest in the supernatural in general. | |

Know-Nothing Know-It-All: The federal agent from "Grease" is a self-righteous idiot who deludes himself that he knows everything and jumped to the VERY wrong conclusions about the Ghostbusters when they were trying to trap a gremlin. Then the idiot winds up releasing the gremlin from the ghost trap aboard a plane in flight because he thought it was a bomb and tried to "disarm it". | |

Ammunition Backpack | |
| Extreme Ghostbusters / int_25248a68 | comment |
Ammunition Backpack: Downplayed after the proton pack upgrade in the second episode, leaving the proton guns to use cannisters mounted on the guns themselves (and if you look close, the full-size backpacks all have an extra clipped on). Kylie's ends up rather tiny (apparently because of her size and build), and is more of an Ammunition Fannypack, though she carries the improved Ghost Trap as well, mounted onto the back of her body armor. | |

Reused Character Design: When IDW got the Ghostbusters license, artist Dan Schoening asked for permission to use Egon's design for this show (minus the grey streaks) for Roger, Janine's boyfriend. Even though the movie/comic and Real Ghostbusters/its corresponding comic are set in alternate continuities, Roger's resemblance to Egon is used as a plot point. | |

Hidden Depths: Mostly Eduardo who, among other things, is an avid reader whom Garrett seeks out for literary advice. He even tells him, "There's a lot about me you don't know." He's also shown doing an assignment for a Philosophy class for one episode. Granted, he just copy-pasted elements of multiple articles, but he's doing that with at least 6 different books. | |

Sadly Mythtaken | |
| Extreme Ghostbusters / int_2ec87029 | comment |
Sadly Mythtaken: Hraesvelgr from the episode "Bird of Prey". In Norse Mythology, Hraesvelg is a giant in the shape of an eagle whose name means "corpse swallower" and whose wing-beats cause the wind to blow. In XGB, Hraesvelg is a dragon whose name, quote, "literally translates from Old Norse as 'Bird of Prey'" and who has complete control over the weather. Ravana from Hindu Mythology was given far worse treatment than that, having been turned from the utterly badass ten-headed villain of the Ramayana to a weird cat-like demon. "The Sphinx" has two examples, one in-universe and one regular. In-universe: A trio of what we are probably meant to assume are geniuses (they were playing Chess and watching Jeopardy!) identify the Sphinx as a Basilisk, which is typically presented as a serpent of some sort while the eponymous Sphinx is largely mammalian with only secondary avian and reptilian characteristics. Regular: The Sphinx is wearing an Egyptian-esque headdress despite being explicitly identified as Greek. | |

Custom Uniform: What Kylie and Eduardo wear does not match the traditional Ghostbuster uniform at all. There may just not have been a jumpsuit in Kylie's size, but the orange body armor (over a skintight shirt and shorts?) and elbow/knew pads fits the trope more. Eduardo has no such excuse, and his Bustin' outfit appears to be a t-shirt and vest with jeans. | |

Sealed Evil in a Can | |
| Extreme Ghostbusters / int_485eb589 | comment |
Sealed Evil in a Can: As with the show's predecessor, there were several episodes where our heroes battled ghosts who were freed after being sealed away for a long time. Achira in "Darkness at Noon", who was sealed in an underground tunnel until it is broken by tunnel workers trying to open up a path for the subway. Her release also unleashes other ghosts at the end of the episode. "The Infernal Machine" has the team fight Luko, a demon capable of possessing technology who was imprisoned inside a machine created by an inventor he terrorized centuries ago before he broke free by possessing a child's toy robot. Cohila from "The Crawler", a bug demon who was sealed in a sarcophagus and kept dormant by having an enchanted jewel placed in his mouth. He awakens after a pair of greedy thieves try to steal the jewel. "The Luck of the Irish" had the team fight an evil leprechaun who targeted the descendants of the people who originally sealed him away "Eyes of the Dragon" had a bone-stealing demon named Gu Mo, who was imprisoned in a golden dragon statue. In "Fear Itself" while the ghost wasn't evil it was sealed up in bricked up catacombs and was perfectly happy that way since it was terrified of people and just wanted to be left alone. The episode ended with the Ghostbusters putting the ghost in a small box in the catacombs and sealing them up again so that it would be left in peace. | |

"Cavemen vs. Astronauts" Debate | |

"Cavemen vs. Astronauts" Debate: The episode "Eyes of a Dragon" has Eduardo and Kylie arguing about the properties of light, of all things. Doubles as a Chekhov's Gun, as both halves of the argument become critical to successfully busting the Ghost of that episode, Gu Mo. | |

Consulting a Convicted Killer: In the episode "Grundelesque", Kylie thinks the Monster of the Week is a Grundel but her teammates won't believe her because the only existing Grundel has already been captured in an episode of The Real Ghostbusters. To confirm her suspicions, Kylie interrogates the original Grundel, who confirms the existence of another one but demands to be freed if she wants his help. She refuses. | |

Heroic Sacrifice | |
| Extreme Ghostbusters / int_6439de78 | comment |
Heroic Sacrifice: In "Slimer's Sacrifice", a damaged ghost trap allows Fenris to break free and threatens to allow the other ghosts in the Containment Unit to escape. Slimer rams the escaping ghosts and closes the unit from the inside - trapping himself in the process. The trope is naturally subverted when Eduardo goes in to retrieve the spud. In "Moby Ghost", Maiikrob goes into Lotan's stomach with the damaged proton packs, and "kills" Lotan, as well as himself. | |

All of their fears, really. Kylie, despite not really fazed by most of the creatures they deal with week to week, is afraid of maggots. Garrett, who can't really get far without his wheelchair, is afraid of tight spacesnote elevators.... Roland, who probably has the best grip on technology of the group, is afraid of his technology turning on him. Slimer, who is green and will eat almost anything, is afraid of broccoli. | |

"The Sphinx" has two examples, one in-universe and one regular. In-universe: A trio of what we are probably meant to assume are geniuses (they were playing Chess and watching Jeopardy!) identify the Sphinx as a Basilisk, which is typically presented as a serpent of some sort while the eponymous Sphinx is largely mammalian with only secondary avian and reptilian characteristics. Regular: The Sphinx is wearing an Egyptian-esque headdress despite being explicitly identified as Greek. | |

At one point or another, all the main characters from The Real Ghostbusters are accounted for, except for Louis Tully. | |

Continuity Nod | |
| Extreme Ghostbusters / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: To both events in RGB and XGB: In "Slimer's Sacrifice", the containment unit is populated by Siren and Banshee (from "Sonic Youth") and Lotan (from "Moby Ghost"; even though Lotan was destroyed and not captured). Surt is also mentioned as being previously captured by the RGB. Same episode has Egon refer to entering the Containment Unit before - which he did in RGB in "Xmas Marks the Spot." "Grundelesque" features the Grundel, as in the exact same Grundel that the RGB defeated. In "The Sphinx", Egon calls Garrett "Ray" in a fit of frustration. In "Eyes of a Dragon", Garrett takes offense to an FBI agent, citing how he and the other XGBs were arrested by "Feds" and handcuffed to a plane being torn apart by a gremlin (which happened in "Grease"). "Back in the Saddle" gives the original (RGB) Ghostbusters some screen time. The same episode contains a more direct nod. During Egon's party, Slimer brings down the birthday cake - half of which he ate. Peter snaps at him, "You never change, you nasty green slime machine you?!" In "Slimer, Come Home" on the original series, Slimer devoured all of Winston's birthday cake and Peter yelled at him over it. The events of "Drool, the Dog-Faced Goblin" are also slyly referenced, where Egon compares the bowling alley case to "...the time we busted that Class-4 shapeshifter in the Poconos." Also, in the same episode, the bowling-alley bust is a nod to the very first bust in the very first RGB episode, "Knock Knock". | |

| Extreme Ghostbusters / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: While the episodes usually ended on a triumphant or funny note (unless it was the odd two-parter), the ending credits music was strangely eerie, marked by a few demonic growls and laughsnote until it was changed about halfway through the series. Then again, this show was Darker and Edgier than its predecessor. | |

Handicapped Badass: Garrett. One fan theory is that the executives started insisting that they had somebody in a wheelchair as was growing popular, assuming that this would be their nerd. The writers weren't fond of the meddling, so they gave them their wheelchair - and made him their Team Jock. | |

What Do You Mean, It's for Kids?: In-Universe example used in "Deadliners". Eduardo is mocked for reading a book series considered mere children's stories that Roland's little brother reads. What does the book contain, you may ask? A trio of monsters that resemble Cenobites mixed with the Gentlemen who horrifically mutilate their victims' bodies for "Fun" while trapping the author of the series. There is little doubt that this ep was made with a Reality Subtext in mind. | |

Big "NO!" | |
| Extreme Ghostbusters / int_c2cedc1c | comment |
Big "NO!": Kylie, when she succumbs to her fear of maggots, and Eduardo, when he succumbs to his fear of death, in the episode "Fear Itself". "Home Is Where the Horror Is" has two kids saying this trope after attempting to sell candy to an old woman in the beginning of this episode. "Slimer's Sacrifice": Inside the containment unit, Slimer himself says this trope when he's consoling Eduardo after he gets hypnotised by Siren to destroy Eduardo's air tank. Also Kylie says it when she believes Slimer and Eduardo are caught in the fire by the ghouls in the containment unit, only for both of them to escape safely from the containment unit. Kylie has another one in "Grundelesque" after experiencing a flashback of her childhood friend Jack being taken by the Grundel. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Extreme Ghostbusters / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Much more so than in RGB. Kylie, for example, is said to like Nine Inch Nails; she is also compared to Vampira (to her consternation). "Deadliners" has a quadruple play with an author named Kline, who's children's horror novels come to life. The children's horror theme is a play on R.L. Stine's Goosebumps series, and the monster's designs look like Cenobites, and when we see the author himself, he bears a resemblance to Stephen King. The episode's premise of an author being compelled by monsters to write them to life is taken whole cloth from In the Mouth of Madness. In "Glutton for Punishment", the team enter a bakery where Ravana has contaminated the food so that whoever eats it becomes one of his victims. Eduardo tries to stop a worker from sampling a batch of pudding by saying "Don't touch that pudding! It's evil!" | |

Series Continuity Error: A pretty massive continuity error appears in "Slimer's Sacrifice". In the episode, after Eduardo goes into the Containment Universe, he eventually lands on Lotan's tongue. Lotan was a ghost from the episode "Moby Ghost". In the episode he was destroyed by Maiikrob. Not to mention the fact that "Moby Ghost" aired 3 episodes after "Slimer's Sacrifice". | |

Hoist by His Own Petard | |
| Extreme Ghostbusters / int_d397657d | comment |
Hoist by His Own Petard: In many cases, the Ghostbusters defeat or weaken the Monster of the Week through their own tricks. Most notably is when Kylie and Eduardo turn the Orb of Moldova, which marked anyone who looked at it as a target for Tenebraug, a ghost who steals eyes, on himself, causing all his victims to regain their eyesight. Also, there was Morpheus, a spirit from the dream world who was impervious to the busters' Proton Packs who decided to come over into the human realm, but in doing so, he lost his immunity to the packs and was captured the instant he crossed over. Big oops there. Probably just a coincidence or due to ignorance, but Kahlil got defeated by the very person (incantation started by Kylie and ended by Eduardo) whom he made do his endless manuscripts, one of them containing the very incantation needed to defeat him. | |

Monster of the Week | |
| Extreme Ghostbusters / int_e9604359 | comment |
Monster of the Week: Like The Real Ghostbusters before it, just about every episode of this show had the team face a new ghost or supernatural threat. | |

Jerkass | |
| Extreme Ghostbusters / int_eb8ec7c8 | comment |
Jerkass: Mayor McShane, who brushed off and discredited Egon in the first episode, then ignoring the team's warnings in "The Luck of the Irish" and took the credit for resolving the situation at the end of the episode. Depending on the in-universe chronology of events, might also count as Karma Houdini.note The only time he got the closest thing to a comeuppance was when he had to tear up the Ghostbusters' bills in the episode with the Piper. | |

| Extreme Ghostbusters / int_f07cc2ec | comment |
Huge Gun Tiny Girl: Averted with Kylie's proton gun (essentially a light gun connected to a fanny pack). She carries a full-size one just fine in "The Unseen", but is obviously struggling with its weight. | |

Suspiciously Similar Substitute | |
| Extreme Ghostbusters / int_f5a3e496 | comment |
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Eduardo was pretty clearly modeled on Peter, being sarcastic and often irritated with Slimer. Garrett and Roland are visually reminiscent of Ray and Winston, respectively, but their characteristics were vastly different. Kylie averts the trope outright. | |

Insult Backfire: In "Home is Where the Horror Is", Garrett insults himself to try to sound less appealing to the mansion's carnivorous monsters. It doesn't work: | |

Canon Immigrant | |
| Extreme Ghostbusters / int_fc7c4f92 | comment |
Canon Immigrant: Kylie Griffin made her way into the comic books, becoming the first character in this series to be in the movie canon, or at least close to it. Eduardo also joins her later, although so far only in the capacity of a supporting character. | |

China Takes Over the World: Averted, as the ghost of the episode "Eyes of a Dragon", Gu Mo, is a Chinese bone demon. Though, as always, the ghost must fail in the end. | |
