Item: Transylvanian Homesick Blues (2x59)
Language: en-US
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: Hi. This episode should be 'Slimer, Is That You?', and the summary 'Egon and Slimer switch minds and the timing couldn't be worse, as an egomaniacal ghost named the Master of Shadows (William Marshall) wishes to test his wits against the brainy 'buster', and destroy New York if he fails to measure up.' The episode is locked, so I can not change it. Thanks.

I'll add a few observations to this discussion.
In addition to the missing "Slimer, Is That You?" entry, there are two entries for "Transylvanian Homesick Blues". It is currently 2x59 as alvarobf1 noted. It also appears as 3x13.
The description of the 2x59 entry matches the description in the book that comes with the DVD box set. I assume then the description of the 3x13 entry comes from elsewhere.
The description of "Slimer, Is That You?" in the DVD box set book is "During a freak accident, Egon's mind and Slimer's mind are exchanged hours before Egon is due to enter a test of mental power with the ghostly Master of Shadows. Can Egon reverse the process, even as his personality deteriorates into a quest for food."
Related to this, the thumbnail image for 3x3 "The Boogeyman is Back" is a screenshot from the episode "Slimer, Is That You?". I think this is related to another discussion post because I suspect that all of the thumbnails in season 3 from that point onward are off by one.
Since I'm new to the site, I'll refrain from trying to make any edits that might make the moderators' lives more difficult. I get the impression there are changes and/or debates about DVD vs. air date order, etc. that I don't want to make worse if I don't have a complete and proper understanding.
Adding one more related observation that may or may not add further complication... The book from the DVD box set mentions that "Transylvanian Homesick Blues" was the last episode off the season to be produced, but that it is considered to be the first episode of the season for continuity reasons. It is the last episode with Jeanine's first season design (paraphrasing). This is appears to refer to the ABC seasons, not the syndicated "season".
Thank you everyone for your contributions.
