Will be great if we finally get a full EGB release.

I’m also hopeful James Eatock or GC are overseeing an AI upscale release of Real Ghostbusters similar to the one He-Man recently received.

Just a note, things were verging into RGB talk so I moved the discussion to the RGB 4K thread.

Amazon now says unavailable. Hopefully it is released so I can watch it again. Watched it all on hulu when it was on there.

Anyone knew that Laura Summer was asked to audition for Janine on EGB, was told she got the role, but then didn't?! All this time I thought they simply recast with a new actress in mind and Pat Musick got it. Never knew Summer took a shot.

I was catching up on interviews The Containment Unit did, was listening to Laura Summer's interview and did a spit take at the 11:07 mark.

The series DVD set is back on pre-order on Amazon!

Edit: The estimate changed from March 20 to to be determined. Not a surprise, as it comes out on the 19th, 20th feels too early anyway.

Did anyone receive their DVD yet?

No, but I was glad to see my order shipped today. Estimate was the 20th, now it's the 21st.

Pretty bummed I wasn't clocking this when it was super-cheap. I would have bought it but I don't really wanna pay $40 for it.

No reviews of this set?

Region 1 is such a disappointing choice.

There is a thread (started on January 9th) dedicated to the DVD release, including varying opinions on picture quality, here: viewtopic.php?t=51437

Bobby Eighties acquired an Extreme Ghostbusters announcement packet. The The Hollywood Reporter 10/24/96 article is included and some interesting tidbits about the cast and a principal villain that was left on the cutting room floor.

"New York is the home of the father of all ghosts ... Zool. Thought to be destroyed by the Ghostbusters, Zool, the all-powerful spawn of Hell, has been in a state of hibernation for the last ten years. Bent on fulfilling his prophecized Armageddon, he is rising up from the ashes and releasing his armies on the city - ghosts, phantoms, hell hounds, creatures of myth and legend, demons, zombies. Zool's plan is to destroy the Ghostbusters, paving the way for him to take over the world."

"Egon remains in the firehouse, which he converted into a Ghostbusters museum."

"Janine, now a physics teacher at Brooklyn high, is alerted by the new reports of phantoms in the subway. She immediately goes to Egon and tries to get him to help. Egon dismisses her. Worried, she returns to the school."

"Fitted with expensive, high-tech weaponry, the PTA responds to a sighting in Brooklyn. The PTA's demon encounter turns into a street battle, which heads right into the High School. The kids put up a good fight, and just when it looks like they are going down, Egon and Slimer arrive with Ghostbuster packs."

"Peter was last sighted in the Bahamas. Ray went belly-up on a water-into-wine scheme. Winston bought a farmhouse in Nome (not a prime location for grazing, by the by...), And while Egon stayed in the FIREHOUSE, his reclusive lifestyle led many to dub him "Garbo.""

This is awesome, mrmichaelt!
I love reading alternative ideas to the Ghostbusters lore.

Agree! Good find by Devilmanozzy.

Pretty interesting they considered Janine as not only a college professor but a high school teacher, too.

I could see aspects of Zool got transferred to the Surt story but I'm glad we got the Surt episodes rather than this season big bad.

Seems some bits of the museum were retained if only for an in-joke among the staff i.e. the Peter statue on the second floor.

The other OGs got better updates in the series finale, heh. Funny how Ray is the one that is met with catastrophe post-RGB but guess that is all influenced by his private sector line in the 1st movie.

Has anyone else noticed Extreme Ghostbusters quietly became available to purchase via ITunes?

Interesting that there was no announcement or fanfare.

Cool. Never saw it advertised. And the Apple advisor I spoke to about it in chat didn't know either, lol.

Yeah. I bought it. 19.99. I wasn’t even looking for it. I was looking for the documentary the Bueno’s made. I wonder how long it’s been up there. Anyone else who has apple products, can u see it available on iTunes? Or I guess “Apple Tv”. I still just call it iTunes
