i grew up in canada and have lived in the US since i was 10. it's interesting to see that canadian shows like ghostwriter featured a cast where kids of all ethnic backgrounds are friends. the only shows in the US with black people (fresh prince, family matters, my brother and me, cosby show) were almost exclusively black and, accordingly, all the shows with white people were exclusively white. i consider myself an american and love the US but i never truly felt the racial divide til moving here.
But back to ghostwriter. You don't see it now but in future cases when tha gang gets stuck somewhere, Ghost will put them up on something to where you have to be from the 1920's to know. Then the last season. Where Ghost travels between Brooklyn 1995 back to Brooklyn 1920 something. In the same house Jamal lives in. His cuzzin who comes later can talk to him. It gets deep
Let me put y'all on to ghostwriter all I know is that spirit is from the 1920's or so. I use to watch this as a kid, matter of fact it takes place in Fort Greene. My place of birth and where I was raised. My classmates and I used to try and solve some cases and see who solves it first.
Hola si alguien sabe donde puedo encontrar esta serie pero en Español o Latino por favor a mi me encanta esta serie y quiero verla y escucharla jeje xD
this show is cool. and jamals uncle or grnad dad or whoever is not ghostwriter. GHOSTWRITER is a 14th century poet who is not shakespeare. look at wiki sometime. besides everybodys knows nigga cant read or type
You ever notice how when you watch a show you used to love, it isn't as cool as you remember? This is one of those times. I'm still enjoying it though. Talk about nostalgia.
i hate growing up sometimes...back then when jamal told his gma that he and lenny would be going upstairs you'd think nothing of it...now if it was my Grandmother she'd say something like "oh hell naw...i know what you're gonna do and it has nothing to do with a computer...actin like your short ass is grown..now go upstairs BY YOURSELF jamal...and you!!! ya lil hussy get to steppin you lil skank" lol
@razlinrazlan if you still haven't found it, it's cause there is none. It is part 2 of the next day's series. Try it and it will be the next one in the section.
I hear ya. Once upon a time they wanted to educate us to prepare us for the future. Now they just want to prepare future consumers to feed the war machine.
(super delayed response @Nightstalkertim ) i'm sure i once read somewhere it was meant as an educational show, hence the slow talking/emphasis on writing...
@Nightstalkertim I know. It takes them forever to get things figured out! Hello, write the answer down, silly children. Of course you can't read the message, it's all jarbled! No, that's not ancient Greek or Russian, the letters are "normal"! I do love this show though.
I loved this show as a kid. It's kinda freaky watching it now though. I wouldn't want any kids i know writtting to an anonymous person on a computer screen where they live, etc. But it was back in the day before anyone had the net at home.
Gosh what bunch of slows, I mean it's obvious the ghost wants you type back on the computer XD It was making me mad, how they kept saying 'talk to us!!'
Lol, 4:05 "Hey, its writing again!" NO FUCKING SHIT, SHERLOCK! Thanks for stating the obvious. I also thought it was funny how right before that they asked it like 10 questions and then stopped right as it started to type again.
Sounds like a great job for YOU. Buy it yourself and quit griping. People go through the trouble of uploading videos and all they get is ungrateful complainers.

I think I read somewhere that Ghostwriter was a former slave, and one of Jamal's ancestors. That is why he was in Jamal's basement.

2:31 Calling ROT13 a "secret" code amuses me. Makes sense, though -- they ARE dealing with a bunch of kids. Even fits with the "super-losers" ending.
