Reception[]

The first story uses an Extreme Makeover type television show as its backdrop. The whydunit by Sholly Fisch won't strain any brain cells, but Fisch makes up for the lack in complexity with a "ghost" that suits the setting and funny sight gags, ably constructed by Scott Jeralds and Jeff Albrecht, from Shaggy and Scooby.[1]
