Interesting factoid about this episode, per Wikipedia: Who Burned Mr. Brinker's Store?: Jamal is angered when Mr. Brinker, owner of the local electronics store, yells at him. But that night, when Brinker's burns down, the shopkeeper accuses Jamal of arson to cover up his own involvement in the fire. Ghostwriter reveals himself to both Craig and Tina. Guest-stars Samuel L. Jackson as Jamal's dad, Max Wright as Brinker, and Jeremy Miller as Craig.
@y02mustang (cont'd) Craig does not appear again in the series and is never referred to again. This case was the original pilot. Wanting a better introduction to the series, the producers decided to add 'Ghost Story' at the last minute. This is evident from the fact that this case seems to have been filmed inside actual buildings and houses, instead of on a soundstage like the rest of the series. Other indications include Ghostwriter appearing as a plain star instead of the trademark logo ...
what episode is that where tina's getting blank calls...and she freaks out? i remember i wasnt home and was recording the episode and jsut when they show the callers face...well recording stopped...i guess it was alex...but not sure..what episode was that? does anybody know?
Anyone notice that the first few episodes of those show had more cinematic cinematography and camera movement, but after that, the show sort of moved into a sitcom format?
3:15 through 5:00 goes to show you different it was back in the early 90's to look up any kind of information as appose to now that everything is instant if u have a computer or device with high speed internet.
He made 1 jumper they were like whoa. This must be the very 1st episode because Jamal is taller than Alex and after the next couple of seasons Alex was like 4 inches taller than Jamal.
Hey look! It's that piece of shit from growing pains! And i was about to say that the GW team look younger here then they in Ghost story [The first ghostwriter episodes.
THis 4 part "episode" was filmed before the "pilot" this one was intended to be the pilot, but decided to give some background to ghostwriter, so "ghost stroy was filmed AFTER this one... that's why things are a tad different
Wahh, the dude from Growing Pains is in this...sweet! Man, I used to watch this show all of the time when I was little. I wonder if they will ever replay the episodes on TV again. I really miss it, but watching it online is good enough for now. I even remember having a pen necklace when I was little because I wanted to be just like them. Ohhh childhood.
OMG...im sooo happy you put these up I was'nt around when these shows first aired but I did watch them when it came on Noggin back in 2001...does anyone know where i can get them on DVD?
i was thinking at the beggining of the video when they chased each other(lenni) with the picture envelope...didnt jamal have the same envelope when he delivered the note for mr brinks? i thought it was kind of funny..for a sec i thought he was giving him his pictures lol.
Thats Captain Lou Albino. He was a wrestler and a manager of many great wrestlers. Also, I believe he did the voice of one of the Mario Bros in the Mario Bros cartoon.
When I first saw this, I thought it was the guy loading boxes. I thought maybe he stole stuff from the back room and set it on fire to hide that stuff was missing.
From this episode, I knew jamal wasn't the culprit because of one important detail. If Jamal was in FRONT of the store, then how the fire have started in the BACK of it?? Answer: Because whoever started the fire was obviously somebody who'd HAVE FREE ACCESS TO THE ROOM. And I knew the culprit had to be MR. BRINKER HIMSELF, because for one thing, all of those VCR's in the back room, were all plugged into the same sockets, which is a serious fire hazard.
the time when we had to find everything in a library hahaha
