The Forgotten Failure of Extreme Ghostbusters

Extreme Ghostbusters is an American animated television series based on the Ghostbusters franchise. It is a follow-up to the animated series The Real Ghostbusters. The series aired in 1997, and features a team of younger college-level Ghostbusters who are led by veteran Ghostbuster Egon Spengler.

Extreme Ghostbusters is notable for it’s attempt to move away from the original Ghostbusters (Ray, Peter, Winston and Egon) and to move the franchise in a more inclusive direction, predating Ghostbusters (2016) by a number of years but causing far less outrage.

It failed, just like that subsequent attempt and has, at this point, been largely forgotten.

Can Ghostbusters be more than The Real Ghostbusters?
