The show is about three dim witted know it all friends and their wacky landlord live in South Bay Los Angeles where they spend their days surfing, dating and struggling to make money all the while giving each other terrible guidance on how to succeed.

Can any movie take the risks the original Ghostbusters took or is all about the toys?
