Ascended Fanboy: Three of the new team qualify in different ways.Art-Shifted Sequel: The series had redesigns for the returning Real Ghostbusters characters and the Ecto-1.In 'Moby Ghost', even the Ghostbusters themselves are skeptical of the Loch Ness Monster.But as the crook had one of their proton guns, they were forced to bring them in for questioning. On at least one occasion though, the police showed that they did at least believe that the group didn't rob a bank. The series justified this by pointing out most people believe the fantastic hoaxes were cooked up by the Ghostbusters as part of a scam.Coming face-to-face with Slimer changes his outlook, however. In the premiere, Eduardo says that anyone that believes in ghosts has half a brain cell.Note, however, that this series is in continuity with The Real Ghostbusters, which featured many public instances of supernatural activity in New York, as well as others across the planet. People (such as Mayor McShane) don't believe in ghosts, believing instead that the original team tricked people and the new team is continuing the tradition.Kylie's ends up rather tiny (apparently because of her size and build), and is more of an Ammunition Fannypack, though she carries the improved Ghost Trap as well, mounted onto the back of her body armor. Ammunition Backpack: Downplayed after the proton pack upgrade in the second episode, leaving the proton guns to use cannisters mounted on the guns themselves (and if you look close, the full-size backpacks all have an extra clipped on).

Adult Fear: Just try to watch the episode 'Grundelesque' without thinking of a sexual predator.Acrofatic: Despite being rather chubby, Roland was quite limber and agile.

Slimer returns to his role as Non-Human Sidekick, when he's not eating everything in sight. Janine Melnitz, Egon's fifth and final student, returns to work as the Ghostbusters' receptionist, accountant and collector. But when construction workers inadvertently release a new breed of ghosts, Egon has little choice but to form a new team of Ghostbusters using his students: standoffish Goth Kylie Griffin, wisecracking slacker Eduardo Rivera, Gadgeteer Genius Roland Jackson and Handicapped Badass Garrett Miller. While Ray Stantz, Peter Venkman, and Winston Zeddemore move away, Egon Spengler stays in New York City, living in the Firehouse with Slimer, maintaining the containment unit, and teaching as an instructor for the class 'Paranormal Phenomena 101' at a community college.

The show takes place ten years after the original Ghostbusters disbanded after they captured all the ghosts. Developed by Jeff Kline and Richard Raynis, Extreme Ghostbusters is a Sequel Series to The Real Ghostbusters (which was itself a Spin-Off of the first Ghostbusters film), airing for one season starting in late 1997.
