Garrett was a die-hard fan of the originals, which was why he signed up for Egon's class. 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.
While Janine is brainwashed into being an Insect Queen, Kylie urges Egon to snap her out of it by telling Janine his "true feelings." Egon begs her to come back because "We'll never find another office manager like you!".As soon as those words leave her mouth, Egon shouts from the other room "FASCINATING! These paramecium are mating!" While pining for Egon, Janine the fact that Egon can't see love through a microscope.
Janine gives Eduardo advice about his unrequited crush on a classmate only to start angrily ranting about her twelve-year unrequited crush on Egon as she rips a thick file apart with her bare hands.Egon's reaction to this is simply "Crude.yet effective." When a call comes in and the team has to move out, Egon exasperatedly shouts "But then who is going to do the dishes?!" Slimer immediately zooms into the kitchen and begins sloppily licking the food scraps off all of the plates.
