I've said before and I'll say it again, a great show written by great writers... and I've long thought that the Grundel was the "true" Boogieman and the "Extreme Ghostbusters" episode about the Grundel was maybe about more than was on the screen and was instead a way of saying that you can escape the horrible things that may have happened to you as a child... not to psychoanalyze things too much but I thought they did give a truly good message there. End transmission.
Damn, Egon tries REALLY hard to be asexual. What the hell is his hangup? I wouldn't passed up Janine. She wants it, and she's got the whole "secretary with glasses" thing going on
I recall this one being from the later episodes of the ABC series (not Fox). That was when Lorenzo Music, Arsenio Hall, and Laura Summer had already left, so that Peter, Winston, and Janine's voices had to be replaced. I only got into a few of these episodes, preferring the ones on Fox (Ragnarok and Roll, etc). What I don't quite understand about this one is the fact that the Grundel turns kids into new Grundels. Does that mean that the guys blasted and trapped what used to be a good kid? =-()
This character was to many viewers appeared to be a possible Child Molester and there could be truth in that. His dialouge could often be related to a pedophile or child molester. Lines such as "Come out and play child", or "So fresh, so pure, but not for long", and "Open the window, we'll go away. Far from all the adults" can all be easily interpreted towards the subject.
Yeah, they changed her appearance and voice some time around season 3 or 4 (maybe? correct me if I'm wrong), because her voice were to shrieky/she weren't hot enough or some stupid shit like that. Since then, Janine has gone through several haircut (& glasses) changes, and I think this one is the most recent for RGB.
The first and second seasons of the series portray Janine as more of the rude secretary seen in the Film. In these seasons, she is voiced by Laura Summer. The third and fourth season saw her softened and given more of a role as the Ghostbusters' caregiver. Her glasses are now round, and she is slightly taller. The person now who voiced her from here until the end of the series is Kath Soucie.
@80swrestling Janine's redesign and personality change was not the series' writers' idea. It was suggested by consultants who thought her original glasses looked too demonic and thought her original personality was too mean. This was one of the things that drove J. Michael Straczynski to quit writing for the series.
Luckily, in the Extreme Ghostbusters series, Janine's old feistiness returned.
@L1701 Actually, before Extreme, there was an episode of Real ghostbusters, written, co-written or at least supervised, by J Michael Strazynski, which dealt with the Janine changes. JMS, as he is often known, returned to the show, and featured an episode where Janine's physical change in appearance was explained. As you mention, he disliked the Janine change, and so his story revealed that Janine was using a genie ie a ghost in disguise, to wish herself different. It was in order to contd.
@yellowcougar18 earn Egon's affections. In the episode, Egon actually has a side by side hologram of Janine, showing the progressive changes, which explained why Egon and co had not noticed, as the change was so gradual. Personally, I found it to be a really great episode, as they not only explained why she had changed, but returned her to normal.
I wish there could be a reference book like the one Egon had. I might sound silly, but ghots or demons really exist. Only people, that have experienced such things know what I'm talking about for the rest we'are fools. There was a program from Discovery channel that deals with that subject, but they don't explain how to combat such demons or ghosts. Personally, I had one experience and now I know how to combat that at least it doesn't bother me like before.
I agree with that. When we first came to 35 Charles Street Wigan, I felt there was a prescence in the house. You know, like a ghost or spirit waiting for someone to get them back to their own dimension.
@Jokerhamil Well, this thing cannot be seen with the naked eye. But, you can feel its presence like a cold air. Wherever it moves makes things to crack like plastic or wood. Usually, this kind of demon attacks its victims at night time when they're sleep and tries to enter their body. This demon paralizes the victim making them feel so tired that they can't speak or move at all. I wished I could have recorded it on camera.
Still, call the Ghostbusters. They can kick that thing's ass. I always used to hear this voice when I was 8 and I saw shit flyin' around my room. Called 'im Mr. Pennywise. But then I called the Ghostbusters, and they cleaned him right out.
@ 2:30 the father mentions Mrs Faversham, the sweet little old lady the 'busters helped in the season 2 episode "The Thing in Mrs Faversham's Attic " where her attic was possesed by a class 6 demon
I think it's funny on how the Grundel just randomly trips when he tries to go after Alec. See that's what happens when you become a sick sonva bitch and you like to wear a trench coat.
@Zoloft77 whoah, your right. though the voice dosen't fit carl or the guy in this show. too bad, would have been awesome. just imagine it. the grundle could make alec ruin his dad's car, and then in carl's voice the dad would be look: "what happened to me FREAKING car!!?"
At 2:26 they make a reference to another episode by talking about the kid kicking Mrs. Faversham's cat. She was in an earlier episode, The Thing in Mrs. Faversham's Attic.
True, It's funny You should mention that because I'm a fan fiction writer and I wrote sort of a spin off of Fallout were there are Creatures much like Grundel's call Midnighters, they look and act almost exactly like Grundels and they do the same things luring Children out in the dead of night and taking them to a fate unknown, but the midnighters in My story are not paranormal though they are mutated life-forms.
It's not finished yet but I am at liberty to say that they take the place of supermutants, they are not physically strong but they are fast and very intelligent. How ever I have another story that I can send you.
lol slimer go through the phonebook you've been waiting all week to do that haven't you ray yeah how did you know oh you just had that look on your face
Lol, the bald head and wifebeater so doesnt match his voice. I was expecting his dad to get drunk, slap his mom around and whip up on Alec with an electrical cord.
Just goes to show, stereotypes aren't always true. There are some nice bald fat guys in wifebeaters out there!
The bad kid reminds of my pig headed baby- brother,hes now in prison & when we were kids he had that. No one tells what to do attitude,I wish some thing like that happened to him,maybe things would be different.
