Extreme Ghostbusters would probably have earned higher points if it was'nt almost a complete clone of the original's characters, and to have made the female a stereotypical goth was nauccisating, but then they were coming into the mainstream at the time and it had to be done to "justify" a female interest in ghosts. Watch RG's handling of Janine people...
Perhaps the material I miss the most was JMS's writing, had he been in charge I think Janine may have had more attention and developed as more of a character, she was made to be just as important to the core cast of TRG as Egon was to EG, and in that sense they nailed Egon's mentor role, but really ignored Janine. They did demonstrate Egon and Janine's old romanctic teasing here and there, but at this point in their lives, it felt like they should have been married by now.
I loved some of the epsiodes, particulary the very well animated and very well written pilot story, as well as "Back In The Saddle". But MIB was a far superior series at the time, and then the even better Roswell Conspracies showed EG how they should have been handled.
Definatly a flawed, but noticable footnote in the Ghostbusters franchise
