The
"ghost vacuum" makes an appearance in the XGB episode "Sonic Youth."
...I for one wish they had made more use of classic "ghost hunter" equipment, like microphones and camcorders, like you see in the beginning of GB1. I get that it's not as sexy as PKE meters and proton packs, etc., but sometimes ghosts are totally non-corporeal and therefore impossible to detect with the five senses, and you can't just go blasting with a proton gun. The ecto-goggles are great -- and we've now seen the Polaroid attachment -- but what if you could hook them up to a (VHS) camcorder or something, to actually review (or edit) footage when necessary? It would also be advantageous to have some kind of special audio equipment, to better hear EVP and ghostly noises outside the normal range of hearing. Stuff like that would also add to the comedy and drama, I think.
Also, I was a big fan of the ghost grabber weapons that you saw with the Kenner toys, and I wish they actually used them in the cartoon. Especially with smaller, relatively harmless ghosts, it would be a lot easier (and funnier) to just grab 'em with a ghost grabber (like frogs or bugs), rather than cause property damage with reckless proton blasting.
