Trivia:

In the first mystery of the series (Episode 5), the character Alex Fernandez (David Lopez) speculated that there would eventually be a big mystery as to who Ghostwriter really was. The series ended in 1995 due to lack of funding, and the speculated episode never went into production.

Quotes:

Alejandro "Alex" Fernandez: Ghostwriter, what a trip.

Very Cool Show.

I really liked this show. I've seen all the episodes when Ghostwriter was on PBS. Now this year, apparently Nickelodeon has the airing rights to Ghostwriter and its spin off channel Noggin. I've seen Ghostwriter on Nickelodeon today (May 3, 2001) I guess the time was around 6:00 6:30 AM EDT. So anyone who misses Ghostwriter and has cable, see Ghostwriter on Nickelodeon and if your cable provider has Noggin (Nick's educational channel) you can see Ghostwriter on that channel too, check your local TV listings for times and days. This show was one of the best all time coolest mystery show that I've seen and it's a really great show.
