Based on the 1984 blockbuster, this cartoon show was just one of the best TV memories for me growing up. Here, Dr. Peter Venkman, Dr. Raymond Stantz, Dr. Egon Spengler and Winston Zeddemore continue on their mission and adventures as the Ghostbusters, trying to rid the city of ghosts - now with a larger contribution from secretary Janine and even help from friendly ghost Slimer.It is exciting seeing the action, humor and horror continue with this cartoon series, as well as seeing the Ghostbusters tangle with the city's pesky ghosts and goblins. Some of the most memorable episodes that I remembered were the Ghostbusters dealing with the spirits of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, and when the Ghostbusters help a kind old woman rid her home of poltergeists.The episodes were well-written with imaginative plots, exciting adventures and engaging story lines. The voice actors did a great job in portraying the Ghostbusters, and I most notably remembered actor Lorenzo Music providing the lazy-sounding but iconic voice of Dr. Venkman. The toe-tapping theme song from the original movie can be heard in this cartoon along with a new catch music score as well.Overall, it's a great TV show that is great for both kids and adults!Grade A

I'd give seasons 1-3 an 8/10. They were great. I grew up on them. The first season of Slimer and the real ghostbusters wasn't too bad. But at Season 5 it starts going downhill. Janine looks fine in seasons 3 and 4 when they change her. But the way she changed in season 5 and later was ridiculous. Her best look was in the first 3 seasons. I don't like the change that much though. And then there's slimer. Slimer wasn't really ever my favorite character. I liked him as the comic relief. But when the whole show starts focussing on him it was stupid. I also don't like the voices of the ghostbusters after season 3. Well, Winston was alright. But Peter's voice just doesn't sound right. Ray's is alright. But the stories later on were just dumb. If you're a fan of the movies then stick with Seasons 1-3.

The first few seasons of this cartoon were excellent. This show boasted some of the best story lines of any cartoon made during the early 80's. In one memorable episode the Ghostbusters took on Cthulhu, a character created by H.P. Lovecraft. This show also boasted some great writers including, a few episodes written by Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski. The only problem with this show is the same as many other kid's shows, especially the shows of that era. That problem is the fact that they felt the need to create a cutesy type character that they believed would appeal to kids, for the purposes of marketing. That character was Slimer. The marketing campaign behind Slimer was expansive. It included toys, cereal, and even toothpaste, and it eventually ruined the show. After it became Slimer and The Real Ghosbusters, the quality of writing and the stories took a considerable nose dive.

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).
