Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Torrin-McFinn77 I remember watching this show on Saturday mornings and enjoying it. Some of the voices I recognized later, including Maurice LaMarche, who would later go on to voice the Brain on Pinky and the Brain (and Ghostbusters was the first time I heard his voice but I didn't know his name at the time). I also recognized the late Lorenzo Music's voice as Garfield the cat, a crash dummy from the old Crash Dummy public service announcements, and a mildly-mannered but gullible spider from Darkwing Duck. And I'd heard Frank Welker's voice (though I didn't know his name at the time either), who did G1 Megatron on the G1 Transformers show. But enough of that. This show combined horror with fantasy and science-fiction. What more could you ask for? And it's not just the ghosts, but also demons and monsters. Could be like the old game Doom but without the blood. But this was better and did without the guns. Sorry, Doom fans! As it was, it was very ahead of its time with good writing and memorable characters. Now if Disney and Warner Brothers could do the same, I'd be so happy! Hey, they did it with Avatar: The Last Airbender on Nick, didn't they?

Ersbel Oraph Maybe The Real Ghostbusters was interesting back in the 1980s when it was an alternative to The Jetsons and The Flitstones. But assuming that seemed amusing so many decades ago, which is quite far fetched, the series has aged badly. The characters and backgrounds are well drawn and in compensation the animation is bad.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch

Lee Eisenberg When I was three and four, I used to watch "The Real Ghost Busters" on TV, so I was surprised when I learned that the "Ghostbusters" movie was live-action!* As for the show itself, it's OK, although now I wish that they could have had Dana Barrett (Sigourney Weaver's character from the movies) as a character. It seems that Egon was always getting turned into something creepy - a monster chicken, a warlock, etc. I still wonder why the Slimer was on the Ghostbusters' side on the show. Maybe my favorite episode was the one where they got transferred into a ghost version of New York, although that one where they got stranded on the haunted island was also neat.All in all, not great, but a pretty cool part of TV history. So just who are ya gonna call? *The first time that I watched the movie (when I was seven), it scared the hell out of me. I was a little thrown off when I saw that it wasn't a cartoon, and by the fact that it was black and white. The lion statue threw me off further, and after the woman saw the ghost in the basement, I could only interpret the movie as horror. When it was over, I never wanted to watch it again. I watched it again when I was nine and thought that it was one of the funniest things that I'd ever seen. As for the black and white part, it came out black and white on the tape when my parents taped it; their only explanation is that the tape was haunted (in which case, that was the perfect movie to record onto it).

Shawn Watson Like most animated shows, The Real Ghostbusters got off to a bit of a shaky start and things really improved soon after. Like the movie, there's more to it than just silly stories. The writers took many of their ideas from works of HP Lovecraft and made up their own wild but imaginative plots.There were some slight changes made to the characters. Peter Venkman became younger, Ray Stantz shorter, fatter, ginger and more enthusiastic, Egon Spengler became blonde with round, red glasses, Winston Zeddemore looks nothing like Ernie Hudson, Janine Melnitz become hotter and Onionhead/Slimer became good instead of malevolent. And they also had different colored overalls. Why? Because kids respond better to colors. Though it did bug me that there weren't many references to Gozer, why Dana and Louis disappeared and how all of a sudden the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man was good. Animation fans will be unable to not think of Garfield or Fred from Scooby Doo whenever Peter or Ray talk as they are voiced by the same guys and sound exactly alike.The show did go on for a good while and spawned a new generation of Ghostbusters toys and merchandise. There have been many bad animated TV shows made out of movies (The Mummy, Evolution, Ace Ventura, The Mask…I could go on) but The Real Ghostbusters ain't one of them. Extreme Ghostbusters followed in the mid-90's, but it didn't catch on too well.I do wish Columbia would release season box sets on DVD but for now there are ultra-cheap 4-episode DVDs available from Columbia only in Britain. They'll do for now.
