The Man Who Never Reached Home: Been a little while since I saw this one, but I remember it being quite good. Ray switches with the ghost of a man caught in limbo, constantly being chased by the Dark Rider until he disappears and it all starts over again the next day. The thing is, the man Ray switched with doesn't know that he's dead and it all comes down to getting him to move on. That's one of the things that was so great about this show. It didn't always come down to blasting the ghost and trapping him, it was so much more intelligent. Sometimes they had to help the spirits fulfil their last mortal wish or free them of a curse or something along those lines. Often times, especially in the episode "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Ghost", these dillemas can be very touching.
The Collect Call of Cthulhu: Despite getting a few things about the Mythos wrong, and making Cthulhu purple, this was a great homage to the Call of Cthulhu and one of Michael Reeve's best offerings. It was pretty damn dark, too. So dark, in fact, that it was banned from television for quite some time. In fact, it hasn't been reairred in America since the banning (parents didn't approve of the devil worshipping). Has some great lines, too.
Peter: So, who is this guy?
Egon: Cthulhu.
Peter: Gazuntite.
-------------------
Winston: So when this Cthulhu-guy shows up how will we find him?
Peter: I think something looking like Godzilla wearing a squid for a hat won't be too hard to spot.
Bustman's Holiday: This episode was animated by one of the better Japanese studios used in the first and second season (seasons 1 and 2 were done by several different Japanese and Korean studios). They also did the likes of Ghostbuster of the Year, Night Game and Janine Melnitz, Ghostbuster. The bike scene is a great display of animation; extremely well choreographed and fluidly animated. The story's funny and I especially like the end with the bagpipes.
