'EUREKA'
"FRIENDLY FIRE"
When Douglas Frisco saw Sheriff Carter and Jo Lupo (GD's head of security)
decked out in special fire-fighter uniforms complete with helmets, he exclaimed,
"You look like the Ghostbusters!"
Before I could reach for my pen, Doug added, "Holly loves that
movie."
The "Ghostbusters" don't have a Toobworld counterpart. They exist mainly
in the Cineverse, with doppelgangers in the Tooniverse.
Should a live-action team of Ghostbusters come along, more than likely
they[d unfortunately have the same names as in the movies. For Toobworld's
purposes, it would be preferable if they were new characters in a multiverse
continuation. Otherwise, any splainin for characters who finally showed up
nearly thirty years after the movie and resultant references might be too
far-fetched to believe.
The earliest Toobworld references came out in the same year as the movie -
in 1984:
- 'Gimme A Break'
- 'Charles In Charge'
- 'Simon & Simon'
- 'Diff'rent Strokes'
- 'Three's A Crowd'
BCnU!
That Earth Day special brings the Ghostbusters into Toobworld, with the appearance of Elon Spengler, brother of Ghostbuster Egon Spengler.
