The original actor who played Lenni's dad sure got the character down pat. I truly believed he was a musician-dad. The replacement just seemed like a regular dad and I still can't remember what he really looks like. This dude, I can still picture. I always thought this arc was the most traumatic to watch with all the fighting between the team, how it affected Rob that badly, and that creep Calvin enjoying it.
11:00 I was too discerning a a kid I guess, but right there I was thinking "Uh, Jamal, Rob, why are you doing a "secret" conversation with GW with an open door behind you? Geez, it's like these people had no idea how to keep a secret. (I know, it's for the plot, but still...smh)
21:46 Right here I was like seriously Rob? You don't hear Calvin typing suspiciously at times when GW was answering you? He's literally RIGHT there. You can SEE him. I want to like Rob as a character but in so many of these cases I've been like GOD DAMMIT ROB...
This show had 5 different cast changes in the course of 3 years Reginald Jenkins - Samuel L. Jackson , Dean Irby Max Frazier - Richard Cox , Keith Langsdale Gabi - Mayteanna Morales , Melissa Gonzales Calvin Ferguson - Wil Horneff , Joey Shea Estella Fernandez - Cordelia Gonzalez , Iliana Guibert
Omigosh, I just realized something! Rob is wearing a shirt that says, "Everything reminds me of my dog." According to the London episode, Ghostwriter is AFRAID of dogs! This is why the real Ghostwriter doesn't show up when Calvin is impersonating him!
well spotted. he's afraid of dogs because he's the ghost of a runaway slave who had been taught to read. the name Calvin might be frightening to him for that reason too, although I don't think anyone who Calvin's name down.
Calvin was the school bully of this show just not your traditional tween/teen show bully. thats what made even their version of the bully trope unique too. there can only be so many flying fists,pushings n, shovings,locker stuffings,and swirlys!!
Calvin chooses to manipulate Rob for several reasons. 1. Rob is an easy target, as he's often by himself and uses the computer room on a regular basis. 2. He's still bitter because he knows by now that Rob was the one who told the team about his booger-bat and the Coney Island incident. 3. Rob flat out told him in Am I Blue, "You'd better stop messing with us Calvin. You can't win." 4. He's jealous of how close Rob is to Lenni.
That scene at 21 :00 when Calvin set up that computer so that he could "communicate" with Rob (to pretend that he was Ghostwriter) as soon as the letters appeared on the screen , I knew that was NOT Ghostwriter. Rob realizes it in part 3 after the team makes up. What a sneaky lowdown trick of Calvin to do this. :(
Sometimes it's hard - do you think Mr. Fernandez was fair and considerate all the time? We know that he has a temper, the walls are thin, Max has to practice at some point. As long as it's in the middle of the day - and groceries aren't falling off the shelves from the noise - what can be done? I'm just thinking because I have a lot of musician friends that live in thin-walled tight apartments.

It's that Latin/Hispanic part of him. Most of us Latins are hot blooded. The second we hear someone talking about our Family or Friends we act without thinking and just say what we are feeling.
Natalie Coffman TV shows always do that, though the network is usually to blame for airing them out of order. You can tell by production code the order they were filmed in.
Rob couldn't notice that Calvin was typing in time with the replies and seriously, why didn't Ghostwriter show up when that was happening? This was a plot hole for the writers..
I was wondering the same thing two, surely rob would of heard calvin typing but to robs fairness he may have assumed calvin was in the computer room doing an assignment as that is what showed as robs intention. it seems rob has other things on his mind so he may have simply been duped.. Was calvin actually proven guilty of anything or just a nosey pain in the neck who always seems to show up?
Why wouldn't he? Not only was that an out of the blue accident, but those instruments are what puts food on the table for him & Lenni, so how would you act if your entire livelihood was threatened?
Max save tina. And Alex and Gaby save dad take to the outside destroy his music and to the. Fight. Alex and Gaby fight Tina and lenni best friends I'm sorry ❤😍😘 Calvin and Jeffrey. Revenge im I blue and get the message. Is super scarey I'm sad and I crying 😢😭😰😱 werinng I scared 😨😢😭 from Omar Jr margyez becrfull
lenni is the one who started the whole fight i mean i understand her sticking up for her father but she shouldve kept her mouth shut about the whole thing because alex woudlnt have heard her say those things about her dad and the fight would not have happened
I remember watching this nearly 20 years ago here in England, when I was 13. It was on BBC2. Wow brings back some memories!
Yess us Brit’s do pick a good channel
I love this show this one of my favorite shows back in the 90s
This so takes me back to my childhood watching this every early sunday evening at 6:00pm.
On noggin.
Every Sunday evening from 6:00pm-7:00pm 1992-1994
@@codemeister26 reveal network, please.
@@bradyanderson6311 PBS from Boston. I lived on southern New Hampshire when Ghostwriter appeared every Sunday night from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. .
@@codemeister26 you mean they were encore presentated by weekends?
The minute Calvin started to pretend to be Ghostwriter, the real Ghostwriter should have just been like, whoa, this fool ain't me.
Agreed, the plain black text, no blinking symbol, and no sound notfication should be a big clue.
Plus hearing the typing on the other computer.
Remember he couldn’t cause he was to weak to do that
@@amykitty THANK YOU
The actor who played Mr. Fernandez died in March. RIP.
Best hopes to family
damn wtf, rip
Robert Dubs omg rip may he Rest In Peace
RIP Defender of the pour🙏
I enjoyed his performances in jfk and double take.

I still find it hard to watch this episode, just because it hurts to see them all fighting.
@@amandachwa211 This second story arc of season 2 is really serious. I thought it was the end of the Ghostwriter team...:(
Exactly! He reminds me a lot of my dad and he’s so distinct.
11:00 I was too discerning a a kid I guess, but right there I was thinking "Uh, Jamal, Rob, why are you doing a "secret" conversation with GW with an open door behind you? Geez, it's like these people had no idea how to keep a secret. (I know, it's for the plot, but still...smh)
This case was very intense and emotional when I watched it growing up
Yes, and despite Calvin's nasty intentions in this case, I do like that he tried to help a crying Lenni in Part 2.
I wanted to scream out "IT'S A LAWSUIT!" at the tv lol.
Dude, now THAT was a real classic.
those old school floppies that were actually floppy!
21:46 Right here I was like seriously Rob? You don't hear Calvin typing suspiciously at times when GW was answering you? He's literally RIGHT there. You can SEE him. I want to like Rob as a character but in so many of these cases I've been like GOD DAMMIT ROB...
Yeah he's seriously not the brightest bulb in the chandelier 😂😂
Aww Gaby's hug to Jamal
Lmao @ Calvin. He was always a sneaky little something.
Anybody else know the intro by heart?
I do, but I can't prove it. Perhaps I copied from the subtitles and watching several times.
All I know is GHOSTWRITER! WORDDD! And then isn’t it just a bunch of instruments?
@@jkimva703 I think they also mean the "We don't know where he came from. He just showed up one night. What is that thing?? He's not an alien........"
@@DukeDarkshadow lol gotcha.
Funny I do believe Lenny does the vocals, as she is in voice over profession now
This playlist is missing the Am I Blue? arc.
The wardrobe is sooooo 90's.

I'm sorry but rob should have known when Calvin was sitting over there and said I'm not myself today lol !!

I love ghostwriter too
Calvin's parrot is was so cute kissing him back at 14:49! XD
It is also of a very beautiful color. Must be rare!

Calvin chooses to manipulate Rob for several reasons.
1. Rob is an easy target, as he's often by himself and uses the computer room on a regular basis.
2. He's still bitter because he knows by now that Rob was the one who told the team about his booger-bat and the Coney Island incident.
3. Rob flat out told him in Am I Blue, "You'd better stop messing with us Calvin. You can't win."
4. He's jealous of how close Rob is to Lenni.
Especially number 4, because in Who is Max Mouse, he reveals that he has a crush on Lenni
Gabriela Mallo hell I had a crush on her. 😂😂😂
It feels like after this incident Gaby and Tinna started growing apart and Tina started to hang out with Lenni more.
Calvin made his own casebook!
That scene at 21 :00 when Calvin set up that computer so that he could "communicate" with Rob (to pretend that he was Ghostwriter) as soon as the letters appeared on the screen , I knew that was NOT Ghostwriter. Rob realizes it in part 3 after the team makes up. What a sneaky lowdown trick of Calvin to do this. :(
What I don't get is y Rob would write 'ghostwriter' if he knew ...it wasn't him...he is supposed to b a secret
When Ghostwriter is in the computer he types in white not black. Rob should have picked up on that.
2019?
This episode could be when Online Confidential Information got started.
19:52 I agree, Jamal. :(
I thought the parrot was dead? Saw it on the previous episode "Am I Blue?"
It was getting treated for fleas, which Jeffrey mentioned. Atilla didn't die until Who is Max Mouse
I love Rob's T-shirt in this episode! Does anyone know what it says on the back? Good grief, does Rob even have a dog?
I like this arc. But I agree why didn't ghostwriter show up with rob and thought the parrot was dead
Anthony Davis
He was busy with Gaby and Alex
Am I Blue throws you off, as the parrot is gone being treated for fleas. I thought it was dead too, but Attila doesn't die until Who Is Max Mouse?
funny how i always thought lenny and alex should’ve gotten together
I loved this show but ghostwriter saw the accident? how??
24:10
Eduardo Fernandez, you've been served!
4:36 I remember this part and thinking "What? Continuity? Across cases? Nice..."
Wait... Gabby was about to go to jail in the last episode.... wtf happened?
How is it that Lenni almost always out-blacks Jamal?
Her clothing suggests otherwise.
Read what you just typed. That makes no sense. That's like seeing tina wearing a piñata then asking how is it that tina "out browns" gaby
why doesn't Jamal call a Rally to discuss the accident and review the videotape?
B/c the gang's not in contact w/ each other.
Max is not conseridate enough to think about the noise level of his music that was affecting his neighbors
Sometimes it's hard - do you think Mr. Fernandez was fair and considerate all the time? We know that he has a temper, the walls are thin, Max has to practice at some point. As long as it's in the middle of the day - and groceries aren't falling off the shelves from the noise - what can be done? I'm just thinking because I have a lot of musician friends that live in thin-walled tight apartments.
I thought Calvin's bird was dead in the last episode!!!
8:31 there's dozens of un-refridgerated eggs for sale... I dont think id do my grocery shopping at the bodega #salmonella

I'm a private process server, and I never give people stern looks, lol. I know I am never delivering good news, but I'm always at least friendly.
7:45
Alex went all Scarface on Lenni. LOL
It's that Latin/Hispanic part of him. Most of us Latins are hot blooded. The second we hear someone talking about our Family or Friends we act without thinking and just say what we are feeling.
We’re expected to believe that all of those instruments would need to be replaced? They were in cases and some look like they just took a tumble.
Anybody noticed how Max's hairstyle consistently changed 3 times . Weird .
my school watches this all the time.''''''''.......
would of like to have seen a Ghostwriter/Mathnet crossover storyline.
tHE PARROT ACTUALLY DIED IN THE EPISODE MAX MOUSE
+Patrick Benjamin WHAT?! D:
I haven't seen that episode yet! What happened? Who killed the cute parrot? :(
Well that's weird. In the galaxy girl episode atilla was dead. The episodes are filmed out of order
Natalie Coffman
TV shows always do that, though the network is usually to blame for airing them out of order. You can tell by production code the order they were filmed in.
@@Andora21 Atilla didn't die in Am I Blue...it was getting treated for fleas
Ghostwriter moved from PBS to syndication to UPN to ABC to Noggin to The N.
4:36 Previous story arc.
23:04 Over A Barrel.
I did the same. hhahaha
***** The "same" what?
OneWeirdDude
Everytime I watched this episode (now and in the 90s) I remembered in what histories were told those lines.
***** I do that for all sorts of things, not just the flashbacks.
They said Calvin's parrot died during the last storyline.
Lenny's dad gives me the creeps
same
Rob couldn't notice that Calvin was typing in time with the replies and seriously, why didn't Ghostwriter show up when that was happening? This was a plot hole for the writers..
I was wondering the same thing. Especially when Rob typed "Ghost Writer", you would think GW would appear.
I was wondering the same thing two, surely rob would of heard calvin typing but to robs fairness he may have assumed calvin was in the computer room doing an assignment as that is what showed as robs intention. it seems rob has other things on his mind so he may have simply been duped.. Was calvin actually proven guilty of anything or just a nosey pain in the neck who always seems to show up?
MAx is only thinking about himself and his insturments and upset enough not to think clearly.
When accidents like that happen , it's hard not to get upset .
Why wouldn't he? Not only was that an out of the blue accident, but those instruments are what puts food on the table for him & Lenni, so how would you act if your entire livelihood was threatened?
12:09 really Rob? didnt you see Calvin running out of the classroom?
Now I know why did this episode to try to. Break the group
Calvin's always up to no good
24:58 MOOD.
Ghostwriters don't was different during who burned mr drinkers store
What happened to Max
Max save tina. And Alex and Gaby save dad take to the outside destroy his music and to the. Fight. Alex and Gaby fight Tina and lenni best friends I'm sorry ❤😍😘 Calvin and Jeffrey.

Don't these kids know what suing is?
Who'd know what a lawsuit is in elementary/middle school?
Alex was being a punk toward Lenni
Who told Lenni she could sing? And why every other episode she doing this dry singing?😫😂😂😂 damn.
Lexi Lou I totally agree, smdh I swear that girl can not sing one bit.
Her singing is so terrible
She was the token white girl out of the crew , they had to make her a rapper 😂😂😂😂
lenni is the one who started the whole fight i mean i understand her sticking up for her father but she shouldve kept her mouth shut about the whole thing because alex woudlnt have heard her say those things about her dad and the fight would not have happened
Why is it only Lenni's fault? Gaby's the one who went off on Tina because Tina was being truthful about how she felt regarding the accident
@@NYChica23 True yeah but I am sure a part of this was from Lenni blaming their father
@@TTBurgerThePlayStationGamer I think Gaby was more upset about Tina's eyewitness account than about Lenni sticking up for her dad
@@NYChica23True, & a responsible journalist must ALWAYS report the truth -- even if it's bad.
Dogs cats and creatures are dumber. Faith and merci
Lenni is a terrible singer
Yep she sure is!
I don't like this episode
This show could've did good without lennis singing.....
