Hilarious in Hindsight: In the pilot, Garrett declares Jackie Chan movies are for wimps ( and people from Long Island). Ghostbusters: Afterlife is Spiritual Successor to this show with its similar premise of a next generation team of Ghostbusters as well as the original team showing up near the end to take down the final enemy. Because of that, its explainable why Eduardo continued the job and boasted about it, the job of a Ghostbuster made him a worthwhile person in front one member of his family's eyes, his nephew. However there, his brother and probably his father believed Eduardo was a disgrace to the family but despite that, the situation was lightened by the sight of Eduardo's nephew, Kevin who showed his support to his heroes, the Ghostbusters. In the Episode 'Rage', it shows Eduardo and his home life. Harsher in Hindsight: The premise of having Egon as the only active member of the original Ghostbusters can seem a bit darker since Harold Ramis (Egon's original actor) was the first of the original Ghostbusters to pass on in 2014. EXTREME GHOSTBUSTERS SERIES
In Spain, particularly, this series is the first thing many people see whenever they think on the Ghostbusters franchise thanks to its successful TV runs in the 2000s.
Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The show was quite popular on Continental Europe, to the level that it has a few video game adaptations. (Of course, the fear of such surveillance goes back as far as FidoNet.)
It doesn't seem like much, until you remember this was a cartoon that aired in 1997, a whole ten years before the now-infamous PRISM surveillance programs were launched. She's even reading a huge book about conspiracies in the scene.
"Funny Aneurysm" Moment: In the episode "Grease," Kylie offhandedly warns the others to not spend so much time on the Internet because the government could likely see and track everything they do. This is supported by "In Your Dreams", where the thing that really freaks Garrett out in his dream isn't that he's out of his wheelchair, it's that he can't defend himself and there's no chance of making it stop, unlike most situations when he falls out of his wheelchair where either he can retrieve it himself or there's someone to help him. While Garrett's claustrophobia is a fairly straight forward fear on the surface, it actually has a deeper layer to it namely, that Garrett is afraid of being helpless. Egon being the mentor of the new team makes even more sense than it initially appears since he clearly demonstrated massive Papa Wolf tendencies in the original show.
