JoseMolina no my man. Annie Potts never voiced, Harley Quinn. That was the late voice actress Arleen Sorkin who voiced, Harley Quinn in " Batman The Animated Series " with voice actors Kevin Conroy, and Mark Hamill.
(Sigh) I always shiped Janine and Egon. Especially in the Real Ghostbusters cartoon. I find it adorable and strangely hilarious how Egon is so reserved about his feelings, and while Janine is hitting on him he stands there looking either nervous or uninterested. However, there are times where he smiles back at her and several episodes where he shows affection and care for her, even admiting to loving her.
@Adderon Not sure. In the films and cartoon series, Egon appears to be single, but I don't know for sure if he is or isn't already married before he met Janine.
@@terrelltownsend8016 I never understood that. One of the earlier drafts of the film script from GB1 has Egon and Janine running away to Las Vegas to get married (after the boys saved the world from Gozer). The whole film was set up for an Egon/Janine romance.
@@lofthouse23 No, they weren't. That's just what some idiot consulting firm made up because if they wanted to get paid, they had to tell the network to change something.
Gloria Gresham was the costume designer, and she said "To do Annie Potts was just so much fun. It was fun to find quirky things that were not what the average person was wearing that year. Annie was responsible for some of that, because she wanted to look different. We had five years of styles from which to choose, and she came at the project very single minded about the hair and makeup."
I really feel they changed her character almost beyond recognition from the first Ghostbusters. That wasn't the Janine I remember! I mean, Annie Potts did great, but she had lost just about all her edge.
Though to be fair, during the end credits of GBII, she looks like she's about to load some traps into the containment unit, showing she will always be part of the team.
@@lofthouse23 To be just as fair...I don't know what relevance that has on how the character was portrayed. Can you imagine that Janine ever snarking off to Peter, growling under her breath about quitting better jobs than this? But again, just my opinion, I have no hostility towards anybody who feels different.
The first time I saw Ghostbusters 2 i thought they replaced her with a new character, a few years later I was disappointed after learning the fact that it was the same character the whole time and she was no longer into egon untill afterlife when she showed a little bit of feelings for him
Happy B-day Janine Melnitz. U were amazing and beautiful. U r. Me and my older and younger brothers, seen Toy Story 1, 2 long time ago. Good times. I seen part 1. I was a baby, born in 95. Yeah. Well, in a videotape both of them. Disney movies r awesome. Love Toy Story 1, 2, & 4. Its great... and kind of funny when Woody and Buzz fight at the gas station. My younger brother, we also love Ghostbusters part 1. It was awesome. And when Peter scream that slimey green guy... that was kind of hilarious... at the ending part, that explosion was huge. We never seen anything like it. Seriously, that explosion was awesome... they did it, to blow Mr. Stay Puff. I hope, they have s'mores. I love s'mores. Mmm. Part 2 was great. Totally cool. That painting guy, wents the baby. Vigo. He was stopped. Ghostbusters 2016 was incredible. I don't care, what anyone says... that movie from 2016 is not stupid or boring whatever they say. That's just a rumor, and I seriously don't care. I love that movie. Never say, that movie lame. I watch it for Harold. Ghostbusters 4 Afterlife is better. Yeah. Stopping Gozer... wow. I can't believe she's back... Phoebe was pretty smart. Like her grandfather. They saved the world. And finally Ghostbusters 5 Frozen Empire. That one was seriously awesome. A ghost that freeze the world, with ice powers. What is he, Jack Frost!? HA. LOL. Yeah, right. It was strong. Still, love it. It was totally awesome. Science is so amazing. That's what Ash said from Pokemon XY. Full support u Annie. UR amazing, very talented. I'll never stop watching all Ghostbusters movies. *Never.* May the Peace be with u Janine Melnitz. From Harlingen Texas. October 28, 1952 October 28, 2024 through October 28, 3024
A CLASSIC !!! They don't make Movies like that GEM anymore !!! I'm glad i watched this and much more awesome fantastic 80's movies in my childhood in the sweet 80's !!!! I really miss that gold era 😪
For some reason the little music high notes at 1:04 always stuck with me when she moved her head in. It's such a cute and innocent little jingle to her head gesture, idk if it was intentional or not but it feels like it was. Either way, just adds to the moment
GB2 wasn’t bad, but they made Janine’s character ditzy compared to the 1st film, and the chemistry she had with Egon from the 1st film and the cartoon series wasn’t there either
I wonder if she based her character development in Cyndi Lauper which was bombing on that year...if she did was a perfect match.both of them are lovely
It made sense in the movies, as Janine in the original movie was a man hungry/love starved woman. Louis is mega nerdy and extremely awkward (much like Egon, though Egon is less clumsy), but he's still a man and rather well off. Now the Janine in the 80s cartoon probably would have never hooked up with a guy like Louis Tully, she was all for Egon, but movie Janine, I can see it.
@@John-ct9zs Ivan Reitman pointed out that he felt Egon had enough scene time as a ghostbuster in the second film and, being secondary characters, Janine and Louis deserved more space. Their romance was a good way to do that.
Swoon! I'm jealous of Louis and my last name is Lewis and people called me that in high school. I would never reveal to them that my secret crush was Janine from Ghostbusters. She makes a thick NY accent tolerable, and even hot. Makes me wanna call Ghostbusters
Annie Potts was so pretty! I had a crush on her when I was a boy in the 80's. In the first Ghostbusters she was a gorgeous brunette, in the second one she was a gorgeous redhead. I even used to sometimes watch that TV show designing women just to get a quick fix of Annie Potts eye candy! In 1978 she was in a movie called "Corvette Summer" and as usual she was disgustingly adorable in that movie too. She had such delicate feminine features!
She never interacted with the Ghostbusters on screen in this one. She's only on screen with them during the commercial and the end credits. That's the worst thing about her character in this movie.
This just makes more obvious that Sigourney Weaver is easily one of the best actresses to ever live. Barely a few lines and still dominates the scene. It also makes obvious Annie Potts is also one of the most under rated actresses in hollywood considering how many roles straight up copied her performance in this movie. The comedic timing epic.
Is Janine Phoebe’s grandmother? The timelines might need some explaining! Afterlife is set 30 years after Ghostbusters 2, so Louis got the heave very quick and Egon and Janine must have had Callie pretty soon after if she’s got two teenage children by the time of Afterlife!
@@cherrypickle8332 yes i have seen the film now. Kind of strange how Callie’s mother is never mentioned at all when presumably she brought Callie up by herself. Great to see all the OG again. Wish Dana had a bigger part considering her previous run-in with Zuul
I still think Jannine best line from Ghostbusters 1 "Ghostbusters what do you want?"
No, TERRIBLE line
True. I even try to do an impression of it with her accent
Same for me!!! Best line ever!!
Madzec. Yes this is one of actress Annie Potts best ghostbusters film lines that made Janine Melnitz so iconic. Ghostbusters !!! Whadda Ya Want ?
The best secretary ever.
Agreed
Always. I love her
True
Hell yes
I wish she was my school’s secretary.
Janine Melnitz was indeed one of my favorite characters in the Ghostbusters story. I don't think the story would be complete without her.
Same here
I always wondered why Harley Quinn sounded familiar. Janine Melnitz made the accent popular.
It's a typical New Jersey accent; it ain't unique.
@@JanetStarChild Staten Island
Brooklyn actually. A friend of mine is from Brooklyn and has the same accent.
JoseMolina no my man. Annie Potts never voiced, Harley Quinn. That was the late voice actress Arleen Sorkin who voiced, Harley Quinn in " Batman The Animated Series " with voice actors Kevin Conroy, and Mark Hamill.
I’m gonna say it, Ghostbusters 2 was and still is a good movie
Yes it is, are you in the new spiderman.?

@@juliansmith1951 Yes i enjoy it very much
Yes
@@juliansmith1951What's a 2016 movie? We don't talk about that around here. 😂
Janine's best line? "WE'VE GOT ONE!" *slams hand down on alarm*
"Ghostbusters, Whatdoyouwant?!?" lol
yeah well, shes like a completely different character in this movie.
@@pengwin_ That "Real Ghostbusters" effect. But time moves on. Maybe she felt like changing it up a bit in the five years between the two movies.
Best line was when she yelled i have quit better jobs then this after bill gave her crap
I prefer “Who’re ya going to caaawl?”
I love Janine's look in Ghostbusters 2 the best!
The red hair wig looks great on her.
They made her a lot more motherly.
💖💖💖💖
@@grantorino2325 I suppose. She did see Louis Tully as a husband and father in Ghost busters 2.
“Limited partnership in a small mining operation” I love that

In canon Is Egon married when he meets Janine?

@@ninjabunnywholivesinsideaw8216 well in Ghostbusters Afterlife Egon has a daughter who looks too old to be born after 1984.
0:39 Remember when we had to cover our computers to sleep.
All the Egon X Janine fans lost their sh*t when this happened. I should know, I’m one of them.
That's because Harold Ramis hated the idea of Egon and Janine being a couple.
@@terrelltownsend8016 I never understood that. One of the earlier drafts of the film script from GB1 has Egon and Janine running away to Las Vegas to get married (after the boys saved the world from Gozer). The whole film was set up for an Egon/Janine romance.
I prefer the idea of her being strangely into Egon and yet him being 100% oblivious. Funnier that way.
@@terrelltownsend8016 Say whaaaat?
@@Thepopcornator yes it would and was.
I've heard the reason they changed her design in the original cartoon is because parents complained she was too HOT.
I heard it was too scary. Parents were 'scared' of her horned glasses and brasive attitude.

Was gonna post the same thing. She was smart and witty in the first one and then she was like a dumb blonde in 2. Not the same character!

Anne Potts did one heck of a job doing Janine melnitz in two Ghostbusters movies including her brief cameo in the 2016 version
Especially in Afterlife.
What 2016 version? There was no 2016 version.

When I was a kid, she was my first crush.
Good taste.
Her and Dana were it
I liked how she looked in the first movie better.
How can anyone not like Ghostbusters 2?
What are you? Insane!
It's a decent sequel, but the original is far superior.
an awesome sequel,not good as the first one but is to be honest a good sequel!
Its not bad. I like it.
It's unimaginative, was the simplistic villain, and I can't say I liked any one of the characters.
I guess nobody believed in ghosts!
Ghostbusters, whaddya want?!

The actress Annie Potts is great. She also appeared on Designing Women.
She's currently on Young Sheldon (where McKenna Grace has also guest-starred).
She's my favorite Ghostbuster ever!
Something tells me Egon's jump suit would be too big for Louis.
A CLASSIC !!! They don't make Movies like that GEM anymore !!! I'm glad i watched this and much more awesome fantastic 80's movies in my childhood in the sweet 80's !!!! I really miss that gold era 😪

I Will Always Love You, Miss Annie Potts
Connie Tucker and John Sturgis when they were young
Still can’t get over janine being meemaw in young Sheldon! 🤯🥰
I loved Louis' version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
i just realized she is Sheldon Cooper's grandmother:)))))
I just love her style in Ghostbusters 2! I have that same leopard coat because of her lol
Annie Potts was looking HOTTTTT! with that Janine Melnatz/Velma Dinkel look for Ghostbusters 2.
I knew I recognized Memaw from somewhere!
It’s Meemaw from Sheldon. Beautiful then - still is!
Typical, cracks me up everytime
I love her 😂😂❤❤
Anyways Egon and Janine>>
I can’t believe Annie pots is me maw from young Sheldon and she played a role in ghostbusters
GB2 wasn’t bad, but they made Janine’s character ditzy compared to the 1st film, and the chemistry she had with Egon from the 1st film and the cartoon series wasn’t there either
She looked hotter in this one, than the first one, I love her.
I wonder how Sheldon Copper react to the fact that his memaw was Ghostbuster's secretary
Annie Potts was the receptionist in Ghostbusters.
Chris Hemsworth played the receptionist in the 2016 reboot of the film
Just noticed that the framed pictures in the background are the newspaper and magazines featured in the montage sequence of the first movie.
“Ghostbusters! Whadda you want?!”
You forgot, "GOSTBUSTAS WHADDA YA WANT!?"
I'm glad to see Annie Potts reprising her role as Janine Melintz.
I actually like Janine and Louis together they’re so awkward and fun
Best actress to play Janine
I think Janine looked better in GB2 with longer hair. She also became much nerdier as well.
Annie Potts is a real Cutie
I used to fancy janine
Annie Pots is adorable. There can be no Ghostbusters without Janine. ;3
"Ghostbusters! Whadayawant!?"
If Janine doesn't turn out to be Callie's (from the upcoming Afterlife) mother, I'm going to be disappointed.
so you disapointed yet ?
Sheldons Granny.... 🤪
2:55 do yall think she....ya know...To get him hyped up?
Favorite Potts movie is Corvette Summer with Mark Hamill.
I wonder if she based her character development in Cyndi Lauper which was bombing on that year...if she did was a perfect match.both of them are lovely
They are the perfect weird couple
I didn’t really like the Janine and Louis relationship

I am the eggs on popping on Dana's counter
Janine was such a babe and STILL is on Young Sheldon
I ain’t afraid…
2:55 oh oh baby's dead
I always had a big crush on her
I love this girl
She never interacted with the Ghostbusters on screen in this one. She's only on screen with them during the commercial and the end credits. That's the worst thing about her character in this movie.
1:30-1:45 love how Louis essentially describes Jewish life in nutshell.
As a kid i thought janine was somehow zuul, dunno why
I thought Janine and Gozer were the same when I was a little kid. I assumed she snapped after the fire house exploded
