"Somebody call the zoo,I think the cougar is on the loose." LMAO.

6:05 She might scare children!? And all those Eldritch Abominations all over the place are seemingly A-OK?

Before I saw "Janine you changed." Episode, my theory was that she was a helium addict and the 'busters staged an intervention, which ended with her going to Sulfur Hexafluoride clinic.

I adore her sarcastic humor! :)

Why was there a demon disguised as a fairy godmother in Ghostbusters? At least in Danny Phantom when they had the genie-ghost, they explained she was denied her heart's desire and now roams the earth turning the wishes of others against them. But what's with the fairy? Did she get lost on her way to The Gathering in Gargoyles? Was she trying to circumvent the Barbie fairy movies? Maybe she's pissed Mystery Incorporated never had a "fairy godmother" episode and decided to punish Daphne's parents.

so...yea, I can't get 100 percent behind some of your points in this, but we can agree that A) Janine is awesome B) That ship between Egon and Janine really needed to happen. I kept hoping for it, and it just never seemed to play out.

Good to know I'm not the only one who thought that Janine from The Real Ghostbusters was hot.

"Why is the Wii so great again?" Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Nuff said.

They probably couldn't get Rick Moranis due to the fact that he stopped acting to take care of his children after his wife died of terminal cancer....

actually the change in design for the proton packs in The Extreme Ghostbusters was briefly explained in the 2 part pilot episode when Igon talked about how the equipment needed up be upgraded since it was out of date and couldn't handle battling the newer ghosts which were popping up now

TBH, the first time I heard of Janine was in the ERB S4 rap battle between the Ghostbusters and Mysthbusters. She had a second long appearance ("WE GOT ONE!"), I looked onto the wikia to memorize the lyrics, ended up searching her up and ended up here. ....Again.

If you ever decide to do a remaster of this episode, it might be worth bringing up Annie Potts other rolls in Corvette Summer alongside Mark Hamill and as Bo Peep in the Toy Story films.

I always thought "Janine's day off." was a good episode for getting to know Janine better, since it shows her family, so you get some idea as to her roots.

as usual nicely done. it is so cool to see somebody give my childhood justice and not destroy it like the rest of the internet. super cool guy!

Original Janine= BEST Janine...and it's Ka Wa EE

I have no idea why 'deedle deedle deedle' made me laugh as hard as it did.

Glad to finally see the first one. This episode is a bit rough, but it was the first Familiar Faces, so I didn't expect really anything coated in gold. Still, it's pretty good, and I'm glad someone finally talks about Janine. The Real Ghostbusters came and went before I was born, but watching reruns were, and still are, fun. Janine was a really good character, and was very unappreciated amongst those who watched both the movies and the cartoons. Great review, great humor. Bravo, CR!

I very much think that Janine was never overlooked.

This one and Milton the Monster made me a fan. I hope you're okay, CR.

I love Janine's original voice though she sounds hot too

Laura Summer eventually would go on to play Patamon on Digimon.

I was watching Ghostbusters Afterlife and decided to watch this again. I mean those two should definitely have gotten together but instead Egon ended up with some mystery woman we never meet and has grandkids. I want to know more about that. That's a story I want to read in the comics or something.

Good analysis I’ve always been a Janine fan 👍

1:15 that's what Janine and Daria have in common: Girls in Glasses are hot.

Does *insert name here* have a crush on me? Me: Here's the answer. Me plus the rest of the world : NO FRICK EN DUH!

"I'm a secretary. I can read anything." -Janine They were always so quick to CHANGE this character rather than to invest some effort into developing the character. Always thought instead of gender-bending reboots, and new generation sequel cash grabs, a short story format series focusing on Janine would have been an interesting way to go. Makers could include all the girl power they wanted for their political nonsense without diminishing the original characters or disrespecting the fans. (for once) More importantly; it would allow an expansion of the Ghostbuster's universe while adding depth to the old story lines by elaborating on an under-used character in need of better development.

CR, I forgot to ask. How did you like Janine from The X-Files Conspiracy crossover event?

okay, now you got me interested in the comics, if nothing else. Overall, this review kicked ass. Good job!

Wow this was some years ago when you did this one! The current comics I hear are awesome!

Oh if you only knew how good that game was

2:46 Not sure if I want to know what Egon was doing under her desk while she was sitting there...

Have you checked out the IDW comics? Janine gets alot of attention there, even some staring roles the Halloween special with a reimagined Sam Hain, has her as the star; and the first arc of the second Volume, has her, a slightly reimagined Kylie, and two others taking over for the guys when they disappear thanks to Janoz and "the collectors" aka Reimagined Peoplebusters (including a Winston this time).

I never cared for Janine. I would have preferred her, and especially Slimer, to stay at the firehouse to keep the focus on the Ghostbusters.

Daaamn you Q5!

the Ghostbusters did have one good video game made by Hal Laboratories the guys who made Kirby. It's it's a Japanese and pal region exclusive though. the game is called new Ghostbusters 2 it is for the NES but I doubt you're going to see this comment.

Just as a connet on the games...a) The GBA version of Extreme Ghostbusters did come out in the US...I have a copy myself. B) That Ghostbusters video game came out on PC as well. And C) There's a nice easter egg where if you go down in the basement of the garage (on the way to where the ghost holding facility is), there's a worktable that has the gear from both GB and Extreme GB, including the 'puck' ghost trap.

Designing Women, she played the part of Marry Jo.

I have a comic called Ghostbusters and the Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles Jenine is in it for like 6 panels talking to april

Animated Janine ....is Daphne Blake and Velma Dinkley as one person!

Kevin Beckman, the bizarro Janine Melnitz

13:10-13:13 so true!!! LOL thats what ghostbusters is about!

original Janine's the BEST!

Anyone watching this in 2017?

I managed to guess that it was Janine from the real Ghostbusters even though I've never seen the show before, I must be a genius.

Rick Moranis retired almost ten years ago. Some personal/family issue.

The guy from 6:12 kinda reminds me of the the guy from the Head. Cool retrospective on The Ghostbusters gal friday. I think the current comic from IDW just finished a story arc involving her putting together a group to rescue the guys after they're kidnapped by ghosts or something.

Soo were finally get some of your old now........ YES

"Extreme Ghost" Busters not Extreme "Ghost" Busters. tvtropes.org

The Ghost Busters were a holes. I am to lazy to explain why..

So when will we get the Familiar Faces Movie which is dedicated to Scruffy?

Hey CR I'm curious about what your thoughts of the new Ghostbusters movie

I can't find the "Tracy the Gorrilla" episode anywhere..... I hope it comes back at some point

anyone know what elvis presley song that was in the intro

Why put a 'guess who it is' moment when you've already revealed the character's name in the video title? :D

I think re-uploading your old episodes is a good idea

lmao @4:43, hahaha

WEEE GOOOOTT OOOOOOONNEEE

Well, I just showed Laura Summer this video CR! I think she'll enjoy it

Have you seen the Ghostbusters book IDW is putting out?

Moranis retired from acting after his wife died.

Janine is hot.............I guess the reason why Janine's hair changed after episodes of Janine you changed I think Janine is slowly changing back to her true normal self which I think takes time etc while Janine's voice is going to be back to normal but it will take sometime and in extreme ghost busters Janine is finally back to her true self finally with her real voice back

Didnt know he was into bug girls *Cue overused memes*

october666w But you gotta admit, she was hot though in season 1 & 2.

i stopped watching the series because of the change

Re-uploading old classics, eh?

dude, her voice is pain to my ears ;c

Damn Q5 to Hell!

God I hated the new voices for Peter and Janine. I'd been such a big fan of the show but that pretty much instantly put me off and I stopped watching it.

well I can see where you are coming from but try to be a little more sensitive to wheelchair bound people and it was most likely to inspire handicapped kids that they can do what everyone else can do too

Yes fuck yes where is it CR where is it scruffy is the best character!
