After re-watching my Volume 1 DVDs, this one stands out as one of my favorites. Though it's not as action-packed as Station Identification, or as spooky and serious as Halloween Forever, it's definitely one of the funniest, with the situational humor of the GBs teaching classes to the Frat Ghosts in order to help them pass, it captured the humor and spirit of the first film (no pun intended) almost a bit more than of the other episodes. It does have a John Landis/Harold Ramis feel to it and gives an example of the direction RGB could have gone, which is a more comedic approach ( like the original film )and less action-based.

Sorry, if im over talking the episode , but it just seems a bit underrated and overshadowed by more popular eps like Boogeyman and Cthulu, so i wanted to see what other people's thoughts were. so...thoughts?

it is definitely a really good episode, i personally like the mixture of both more serious episodes and more funnier episodes.

"Chairwoman? You look more like a sofa woman to me!"

"Well! This is disgraceful! A ghost! Here?"
"Hey listen! Would we point at you and say 'A fat lady here?!'. No, so-"

Brilliant. Enough said.

One of my least favourite episodes from the golden years, sorry to say. The animation is awful, the college characters are annoying, and not being American the whole frat boy thing is kind of foreign to me. And why do the GBs refer to each other by surname? They don't in any other ep....I suppose the writer had only seen the film.

I sorta agree with both of you.

EB's right that those particular lines are hilarious--the "sofa woman" bit makes me guffaw like a hyena every time.

Or the prissy scientist browbeating his students with a long rant about "Science can explain everything!"
Spaulding pops out of faucet and goes "Oops, wrong way"
Prissy Scientist: "With some exceptions of course"

Though I agree with Joker that the animation was rather bad in spots, and it was a bit jarring to hear all the last names. (All those years of watching the cartoon and I still tend to refer to Venkman by his last name, though. I don't know why him and noone else.)

No, no, Spaulding's line goes, "Sorry! Took a wrong turn! See ya later bozos!"

Yeah, anal-retentive, I know haha!

This episode is one of my fav's aswell... I like the boogeyman one, and etc, but I like the ones that are less popular and less action packed as well. They have really good script writing. I REALLY like episodes where the viewer gets a feel of what it's like when their not ghostbusting, and their just hanging around at home. There's tons of episodes like that.

I like when Peter's teaching the supply and demand thing... HALARIOUS!!!!
