The Ghost and Molly McGee - DisneyCember

[@DanGamingFan2406]

Quick Correction: The Ghost Council didn't curse Scratch, he tried to curse Molly to never be rid of him until she moved out of his house, which ended up as more of a curse on him.

"I didn't curse Molly McGee. Molly McGee cursed me."

Good to see Doug hasn't changed since he reviewed _The AristoCats._

[@DanGamingFan2406]

This show was really underrated and ended too soon. Scratch and Molly's dynamic is great, most of the songs are really catchy, and that last episode hit so hard.

[@almightyk11]

I disagree on both being underrated and ending too soon. The writers were clearly out of ideas.

[@jstarwars360]

@@almightyk11 No they’d actually started writing Season 3 but got cancelled. The finale was planned from the beginning but was condensed to that episode when the show was cancelled. It actually worked out as the mystery would’ve originally been drawn out over an entire season. Some elements may have gotten more room to breathe but older viewers may have gotten impatient especially if they figured out the reveal.

[@swagzagoon2596]

(1:15) Correction: Scratch cursed Molly thinking that would make her go away, but it didn't and the ghost council was like "sounds like a you problem"

I really appreciated the Hannukah episode. Doug hit the nail on the head with how they took the time to actually represent the holiday

[@TGWTGCensored]

@@SunnylandProds I'm not saying he can't criticise the show; but when his main argument is that it's not good enough because a crap tonne of other shows exist, then that's on him for judging it against other shows instead of on its own merits.

[@jstarwars360]

@@DanGamingFan2406 That would’ve continued in Season 3. They had an episode planned about Molly coming to terms with death.

[@wilderac2250]

This show treats death so casually. There was an episode where they meet a ghost girl who haunts an old blockbuster because she died on the way to returning an overdue video. And she’s perfectly fine with being dead and watching old tapes. Not to mention the amount of birds that die, immediately turn into ghosts and casually go about their day.

[@SunnylandProds]

Go figure, that was a gag that originally showed up in storyboards

[@jstarwars360]

Season 3 would’ve clarified that death is real. You’re only a ghost if you have unfinished business. Makes the finale even sadder knowing that as that means … … … when Scratch dies he’ll go to the afterlife as he won’t have any regrets.

[@wilderac2250]

@ yeah, I heard that they were planning to kill off Patty in an episode and Molly would have been let down to find out that she didn’t become a ghost. Which makes Patty’s last line in season 2; “don’t rush us {referring to old people inevitably dying}” somewhat prophetic.

[@jstarwars360]

@@wilderac2250 That episode would’ve been top tier had it been made.

[@KTChamberlain]

As a history buff, I gotta give this show major props for having the subtlest reference to Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass in the Hanukah Special. It's brief, but that's the point, because we see Libby's great-grandparents forced to flee what is clearly a Jewish ghetto in Nazi Germany. We see the horror on their faces as they see people running in fear right before a brick breaks their window and then it cuts to them having successfully immigrated to America while pregnant, they raise their son who then grows up to raise a family and so on. I don't know about you, but I don't think a show like this has ever alluded to such a dark bit of history, especially on Disney.

[@Jackie-McCann]

“This is mostly meant for a younger crowd.” As someone who’s turning 32 in about a month, I’m not ashamed to say that I _love_ this series. It was definitely a breath of fresh air that I desperately needed during rough times, and the finale hit me especially hard. I know Master Shake is Dana Snyder’s best known role, but I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that Scratch is easily his BEST character and vocal performance, in my opinion.

[@anthonymartinez-thomas4228]

@@Jackie-McCann You’re not the only one that film of the show is worth on the characters can be relatable but they just recycle them all characters ninth and cons of Targus they running knew it would bring back the other Curtis from season one in doing it differently with a new family think you’re just for doing it differently Pritam speak with me and turnable I prayed I did everything. I just prayed for her to get the 3 and like you got. It would’ve been nice for Brighton characters when I stuff at work understanding more of these characters and we can relate to them but they came back in season two the new family change of heart still wish we had more think of the family and neighbors both remember 2021 2024. It’s probably the anniversary of it right now and I still miss them especially Molly X Ollie when he puts. Her feelings above all else as well if you wanna come second, but he wants to be for her it was that’s what it’s all about and that episode of Auntie on writing the store with Blair is about forgiveness and thinking you’re not a good person. It’s always you think you are a good person, but are you really inside and out as well? That’s what all he represents. Try again it will. If you think you’re not a good person and don’t give up it will show like he was down at all Evelyn can you at least give him a chance he’s trying and that’s what humans are we try and try again till we get it right if that’s Ollie And ask what episode you don’t have the one represent the first episode varsity uprights take a second chance take a second chance on Ollie at all he only got seven episodes All he represents the kind of person we need to try again if he fails, he tries again we all fail and thermal info, but Ollie Remember injustice to gods among us the second and justice only represents how Jordan you hurt everyone your friend how can Ollie ever forgive himself But we all know how your will stronger than your heat at all. He’s crying out in the motions always cry Because not everyone can be tough. I always shut myself out because I put away childish things like I did not realize they missed out on the show when I was too late at least I got to watch them and Fibia I got to watch those emoji season one. It was some of the other load of season two it was the finale which was just as hard or not. Everyone wants to watch the finale. We think it’s gonna last forever. It was still gonna get a season three but recycling concept art as well as getting iconic, VA or voice actors to play these characters the mirror played by another than Pat Some characters get voice actors, VA for short some of them stand out, less like their lawyer, some of them things season one, and they returned with new, or it will seem characters the mediation sometime a change a lot as long as he just got the attachment, you just wanna come back. It’s just realize that you missed out on so much. I think this is the anniversary of it as long as I tell you the truth if BBC’s 92 anniversary who are the thought probably 11 months in the theories and theories even finale I still just come back to this just to see if it still had a playing chance I only got two season knowing it’s not good to hold on it representation we all need to MoveOn it will go out and do something other than just being at work Molly optimistic and think that anyone can change and only not everyone wants to start a war certified but seeing how much you have to keep talking whole conversation I did that with Ollie I like that all the type of person We just stopped in, but stop being so selfish and appreciate what we have out there like scratch represents Ollie changed

[@deshawnedwards6412]

I LOVE The Ghost and Molly McGee! This was my favorite Disney show of current years it's just so fun and sweet and joyful to watch, but I do have to the show did lack off a little Season 2, as they were juggling two different overarching plots, one involving an family of Ghost hunters moving across the street and Molly ended up falling fir the son which risk the chance of him discovering about Scratch and also Jinx plotting to take over the Ghost World as revenge for Scratch destroying the original Chairman. Still all around I still enjoy it for what it was and I'm disappointed that we didn't get a Third Season, but in all honesty what were they gonna do for a third season when they basically (for the most part) wrap everything up? Scratch is gone, he's human again, he's now living his life what were they gonna do without him? Also Andrea got the very short end of the stick on the second Season, sure she was still apart of the show and got like 2 or 3 Episodes involving her but it felt like she reduced to a side character and not involved in the the season arc unlike Ollie or Libby has, she never even learned about Scratch like Libby and Ollie and despite being friends with Molly she wasn't seeing hanging out with her that much it just fell like they left her arc unfinished.

[@jstarwars360]

@@deshawnedwards6412 The final episode was only included because of the cancellation. Had the show gotten a proper third season, we would’ve seen the mystery play out gradually over several episodes. There were also some pretty cool stories planned. Ollie would’ve been come the new chairman and Libby would’ve celebrated Purim.

[@femoman]

Yeah, that ending hit HARD, though it does kinda feel a little rushed, like they knew they weren't gonna get another season so they had to make sure they get an emotionally impactful finale before they get canned. But for the most part I'd say they hit bullseye with it

[@jstarwars360]

Agreed. As much as I would’ve loved a proper third season, especially knowing some of the stories planned, it probably would’ve dragged out the Scratch mystery.

[@SunnylandProds]

Yeah, Bill and Bob always knew how they wanted the show to end, but they had actually been given an early greenlight to begin writing Season 3 around the time the show had started airing. Unfortunately, this was the first Disney TVA show where its’ Disney+ performance was what would determine its fate as opposed to the cable ratings, and the Disney+ team didn’t do any marketing whatsoever for it. So by summer of 2022, they had been told they weren’t getting a third season. Bill and Bob pulled a Hail Mary and asked if they could have one more episode to wrap things up, and they got it. But of course, that was around the time Bob Chapek got fired and Bob Iger returned, and the possibility of a third season was back on the table for a little while dependent on how Season 2 did. The show did well, but I guess not well enough to justify greenlighting a third season when the show already had a ready-made finale. But what really makes me mad is that Disney didn’t give the show any kind of sendoff, and nobody knew for sure that the show was over until the episode actually aired.

We need Molly's kindness more than ever. I like this show because it helped me mentally and got me to become a better person even after it ended. Molly McGee And her friends are like superheroes to me.

[@AndrewVarney-j2h]

There a few things I'd like to add..... 1) This show subverted several tropes that are common in "kid is friends with magical being" shows (i.e. Scratch's existence is not kept secret from the rest of the human cast, Molly's rival actually helps her and her family out of a tight spot on her own, The encounter with the Chairman is at the end of Season 1 instead of being saved for the grand finale, character development actually sticks instead of being dropped like a hot potato, etc.) 2) Molly's brother is voiced by Amethyst from Steven Universe 3) Due to it ending at Season 2, there's a few things that never got a chance to shine (one being that big corporation that forces Andrea's parents out of business, that could've been more for her character arc. Also, she never directly met Scratch)

[@ztslovebird]

Couple of things: 1) Scratch wasn’t falling behind on his Scares prior to Molly showing up. He just wasn’t invited to party with the Ghost Council after his performance review, which is why they kicked him out. 2) Scratch cursed himself by accident.

[@chloenieuwsma4846]

If anything the first only happened when he procrastinated that one time Scaring is Caring

[@ztslovebird]

@ That wasn’t a curse from the Ghost Council. That was his own ghostly immune system going wonky.

[@brookerickettson9598]

There are multiple times in the show where an animal un-alives on screen and you see its ghost. With the secondary cast consisting of senior citizens, there is always that option in the back of your mind. The show takes a real look at end of life life, and the affects it has on younger family members and friends. Plus economic struggles, and less than stellar absence parents of a divorce. Its dark and surprised Doug doses't like it more. Yet through it all Molly is a literal ray of sunshine and happiness and how they defeat the "bad" ghosts in season one finally is sooooo good. Such payoff.

[@thetrashghost21]

My favorite DTVA show and it isn't even close. Fantastic review with very understandable criticisms! Thank you for giving The End the flowers it deserves, one of the best series finales in an animated show for sure. Glad you enjoyed it for the most part!

[@KTChamberlain]

As much as I love Molly's optimism, I do love the fact that the show doesn't always frame her simply being right and Scratch being wrong. It would get old real fast if they did it that way. We do see instances of her being in the wrong even though she clearly meant well like in the episode of Libby's Bat Mitzvah or the Snow Day episode, and to her credit she does make things right when she sees the error of her ways. And as someone who has a high-functioning form of autism, it was nice to see June Chen also being high-functioning autistic without coming across as a caricature like Sheldon Cooper of the "Good Doctor". Even though she doesn't do too much, she feels like she was written as a character first. Sometimes less is more and sometimes simplicity is best, two mantras this show does well.

[@jodgee2374]

The series finale was originally written as the end of a third season that didn't get produced. If Disney didn't cut the show short, then there would've been an episode explaining that ghosts only exist until they complete their unfinished business from the mortal world, and that after their business is finished, they disappear. This makes the ending even sadder!

[@chloenieuwsma4846]

I choose to believe Scratch will remember Molly. She just needs to hug him or after he kicks the bucket the memories will return

I’m actually really glad that they had an episode focusing on girls getting their first period. I’ve heard complete denial about the ideas and incidents presented, but a lot of it actually makes sense to me, and I appreciate that a comedic and exaggerated approach is used in order to make it non-threatening. I think that shows like this need to tackle this and other subjects more so that the stigma can be removed and information and different opinions can actually be talked about. Clearly, it does not happen enough in the home, and schools remain hamstrung by the lowest common denominator.

[@kpsonicdude]

Poor Ghost and Molly McGee, cut down in its prime. Molly McGee was one of my favorite Disney main characters. If Mabel and Luz were lovable goofballs, Star a wild child, Webby a *stone cold killer* , then Molly was a manic child. As in she needed therapy. *Immediately* . And I loved that.

[@connorthompson8376]

I also love the Thailand representation in the show. It comes up multiple times, rather than just being one and done, but they give it an entire episode in season two. And it truly does seem to reflect the realities of diaspora life. Feeling like part of you is one thing and part of you is supposed to be another. In the end, heritage is whatever it needs to be. Either way, heritage is something that we should all take great pride in.

I think what I love most about this show is that, despite it being more episodic, it doesn't have a status quo they need to reset to at the end of the episodes. Characters will grow, change, and become the best versions of themselves just like real people would. When you look at who they are at the start of Season 2 versus the start of Season 1, there's a stark difference and I think that's rare for episodic shows. Plus there's a lot of topics in this show that are great for kids to hear. Things like puberty, dealing with perfectionism, prejudice that your parents had being passed onto you, or even the struggle of having an absent parent. There are a lot of things in this show that a lot of people can relate to, and I think that's great. Though I will acknowledge it's not for everyone. It definitely made me laugh a lot, and I loved the songs and characters, but it's not going to click for everyone. The fact Doug enjoyed it is a win in my book, I'm not expecting him to fall in love with it like I did. But I'm glad we can agree than they had a phenomenal finale that didn't hold back at all. If you analyze enough there's a lot of foreshadowing to the finale, so a lot of fans (myself included) knew the general idea of what they were gonna delve into. But I was not prepared for the extent of what they were going to do with it. If you have any interest in it, I definitely recommend giving it a watch.

I would love to see you talk about Kick Buttowski and Penn Zero for Disneycember.

Actually this show appealed to older audiences too. There's a damn good reason a lot of fans identify with Scratch to an extent (especially considering the big reveal in the final episode.) and it's something that older audiences might be more aware of compared to younger ones.

[@raptorskilltor4554]

This feels like the closest thing to a hotdiggedydemon crossover we ever get

[@jstarwars360]

Originally, the series was supposed to end with the penultimate episode but the creators asked for one more episode so that they could give Scratch's story a proper conclusion. As much of a bummer as it is that we never got a proper third seasons, scripts/outlines for planned episodes are online somewhere, at least they got to tell the most important story of all.

I still can't help but hink about Dude That's My Ghost! when someone mentions this series

[@switchspeedster2671]

This is definitely my favorite Disney Channel show of all time. And I wasn’t expecting a lot when getting into the show. But after some time, I discovered something truly special with this show. It was criminal that Disney cut this show short, because this show was brimming with potential. At the very least, it ended the way the creators intended. Which sadly is becoming a rarity in today’s age

[@tidecovill6718]

I am really hoping Moon Girl is on the list for Disneycember

[@joshuaingobo1559]

It’s going to be on next year’s Disneycember, since Moon Girl is going to end next year.

[@connorthompson8376]

I agree that the ending was masterfully done. The only criticism I have about it is that it was kind of abrupt at the end of season two. Like I said, another comments, they meant to have a season three, and they would have built up the ending even more. But it wasn’t dragging the numbers that Disney wanted on Disney+, so the Kabash was put on that. They were allowed one final episode to cap things off, and for what they had, they made the most of it.

[@jakeilano6821]

I loved this cartoon 😍 ❤️.

[@TwistedD85]

"...She bothers me." That plus Scratch and Grandma Nin's interactions pretty much solidified I was gonna watch the rest. I won't lie, I cried at the end. The ending didn't feel forced for the sake of being deep, it was legit good and a great message.

[@icecreamhero2375]

1:18 What? That's not what happened. Scratch tried to curse Molly and it backfired. He cursed her so that he would be whereever she is and Molly decided that they were best friends now.

[@superpan218]

For DisneyCember, you should do The Devil and Max Devlin. That was an actual Disney film from 1981 starring Bill Cosby as Barney Satin opposite Elliott Gould as Max Devlin.

Also Molly Actress is Sasha from Attack on Titan

[@jbcatz5]

Aloy from the Horizon series

[@alecbama1]

Good analysis, Doug! I love how much you completely understood why the series finale was so well-done. Glad you gave the show a chance! I just hope the hardcore fans understand your criticisms, cause my god, the big fans of this show worship it haha.

[@ropecrewman36]

Yeah, this ending might actually be one of my favorites from modern (post 2010) cartoons. I love Gravity Falls as much as the next fan, but even they backpedaled on their saddest ending. This was one of the best-paced, most mature endings I've seen to an animated series in quite a while.

[@Brett-uq4tz]

It didn't really backpedal on its ending, it's actually a thing in real life that people with amnesia can sometimes not always but just sometimes can recover their memories by being reminded of specific things.

[@ThomasGilbert-lf6lu]

The Ghost and Molly McGee was an animated series that was truly ahead of its time on Disney Channel. In addition to Disney Channel and Disney XD, it also premiered on Disney+ when I was 39 years old. In this story, a girl and her ghost go on some supernatural adventures, similar to The Owl House and Phineas and Ferb.

[@svon1]

Finally :D my favorite show :D it was the first show that manage to dethrone my previous favorite show to place number 2 .... that was ironically enough the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.... which is funny since everything Mandy was, Molly isn't

[@jeemo1]

I’m not sure if you take requests, but since you’re covering Disney this month (including Disney series), I’d love to see your take on Wander Over Yonder! It’s a great and underrated show with a lot of heart, and I think it deserves more coverage.

[@lShadow426l]

This and blues clues are kind of the only shows ive ever seen to go in-depth about Hannaka, I know rug rats acknowledges it and tells, A story based around it but you still aren't given much information other than "it's christmas but for 7 days" idk it's been years since ive seen that special

[@mikechicago6200]

Libby is the best character of the show....love Lara Jill Miller! Though the Period episode was iconic, and this was the first disney animated show that delt with that subject.

[@Rosey0928]

Yes Libby was like too good for this show 😭

[@thomastheconjunctionfriend7908]

I'm Happy You Love The Ghost and Molly McGee Nostalgic, Critic (Doug)!☺️☺️😊😊

[@abelmantor7557]

God, i love this animation.

[@KombatGod]

I have never watched much of this show, but it's one of those that let you think about how much great stuff is there for kids. So many people always go "oohh back in my times we had that show or that other show, kids nowadays don't get it!" but really it's just bias and if you stop and look you indeed find great shows even today. Now, for my playlist of all DisneyCember reviews in chronological order, this series begun on October 1. 2021, so it goes inbetween Shang-Chi (September 3, 2021) and Ron's Gone Wrong (October 22, 2021)
