Please tell me I'm not the only one who hates Slimer


How many times did the guys try to talk Peter out of zapping Slimer, saying "he'll get better"?

I have the series on DVD, but it's been a while since I've watched the whole series. I do remember bare minimum not minding Slimer at least early on. But I remember on my first watch through of the series, I couldn't make it through the Slimer episodes.

I remember even thinking how it was amazing (and not in a good way) the Slimer episodes were the same show that dealt with things like the end of the world earlier in the series. It was that different a tone.

They brought in some consultants that made them change the show and caused JMS to quit. The changes happened around the same time. Slimer, kid-friendly, Dave Coulier, Arsenio Hall leaving, Janine changing, etc.

Season 4 the changes took full effect although as far as I'm aware Arsenio Hall left on his own accord.
