Extreme Ghostbudters was an attempt to reboot the Ghostbuster franchise. The series basically revolves around a new group of college-age Ghostbusters who were being mentored by Egon. I didn't watch the show when it originally aired in 1997, mainly because none of the local stations in my area carried the show.
For this post I'm going to focus on the 2-part series finale entitled "Back in the Saddle". The episode starts out with Janine surprising Egon on his 40th birthday by reuniting him with the other ghostbusters. The original group goes on a job for old times sake, and eventually leads to tension between the old and new groups. They eventually put aside their differences to stop a ghostly incarnation of the Bermuda triangle.
The episode was pretty decent, it was nice to see the original Ghostbusters again and see they got the original voice actors(kinda). The interaction between the old and new groups in the beginning was grating, but got better when they started working together. The animation in the show is good, as well as the voice acting. Overall Extreme Ghostbusters is a pretty good series and I would to see it come out on DVD in this region, but it can't hold a candle to the original Real Ghostbusters. I give it a 3/5.
