I would actually like to see more storytelling obstacles from real-world forces. If they were to make another GB television series, it would be fun to see episodes where the human antagonists constitute the "A story," with some ghost filling out the "B story." It gives the franchise more range. Certainly, I never liked the idea of the Ghostbusters being all buddy-buddy with the cops and local government, or worse, becoming some Men in Black or X-Files style government agents. Keep them in the private sector, because it's more relatable to the average person, and increases the opportunity for both comedy and drama.

Hope it's more like with IDW stuff, and their presence is normalized and the police are on the side of the GBs.I for one always loved that the Ghostbusters have human antagonists, as well as supernatural ones. I think it's a logical outgrowth of the core concept of blue collar paranormal exterminators to have bureaucrats and annoying clients getting in their hair; it helps to ground the fictional world in mundane reality.
