It was fantastic until the network got a hold of it. Still, 75 or so episodes of mostly good shit is nothing to be ashamed of.
Was til they changed it
The first 2 seasons were fricking fantastic. Then the execs began to stick their dicks on it and it gradually became worse and worse until it devolved into that moronic Slimer cartoon.
If you want to play it safe, watch every episode with the original intro and stop as soon you reach the part with the episodes that use the new intro.
What about Extreme?
>BuT wHaT aBoUt ThIs CoMpLeTeLy UnReLaTeD tHiNg I aM UsInG To DeRaIL Ur ThReAd?
Shut up homosexual
>Completely unrelated
You know Extreme is a follow-up right?
On paper it's god awful. In practice it's better than it should have been thanks to very good writing.
It may be the worst base of network meddling ever in a cartoon.
>I can only imagine how pissed I would be if had watched the show as a kid.
I did and it was extremely.
The fricking sound those trains made has stayed with me for 30 years.
Yes. Stop watching it when Dave Coulier takes over as Peter even though later seasons did have a few good episodes.
Absolutely. Of all the 80’s toy commercials this one holds up the best. Hell, a lot do the humor is still funny.
Recently rewatched the boogie man episode on some stream. Probably as good as you could make a ghostbusters cartoon
It was peak DiC so the monsters all looked cool.
DiC aesthetics have never been topped
>Recently rewatched the boogie man episode on some stream.
Literally the only episode I remember from my childhood
Ghost bastards!
The Garfield connection is weird
What?
The Real Ghostbusters is based on the film Ghostbusters, where Bill Murray plays Peter Venkman. In The Real Ghostbusters, Lorenzo Music plays Peter Venkman. Lorenzo Music voiced Garfield in his specials and cartoons from 1980 - 2001. When the live action/cgi Garfield film was made, Bill Murray played Garfield.
Even funnier because Murray got Music replaced because he made him "sound like Garfield, I don't sound like Garfield!"
He seems like a pretty cool guy. It is nice to see since I enjoy his work.
I fricking wish Slimer would have went back to his home planet. Even the intro to the Slimer seasons were embarrassing. I can only imagine how pissed I would be if had watched the show as a kid.
First version was
I don't care for most 80's cartoons but this one legitimately very good until the suits tore it apart a couple of seasons in.
What did the suits do?
>Traded Lorenzo Music for Dave Coulier as the voice of Venkman and reworked his character to add in constant """jokes""" similar to the things his Full House character would say
>Told the crew to make Winston nothing more than the driver
>Made Slimer the team mascot, put his name in the title and gave him FAR more screen time than he needed
>Tried to remove Ray for some reason but ultimately failed
>Barred the mention of anything explicitly paranormal including fictional books like the Necronomicon or what ghosts actually are
>Completely overhauled Janine into the team mom
It might be the most moronic meddling I have ever seen for this sort of thing.
It was that c**t Bill Murray.
Wonder if the show was failing and they changed shit to "save it"
It was actually doing well at the time and so were the toys.
>Told the crew to make Winston nothing more than the driver
Why? What's wrong with Winston?
Hes black
>Every time Slimer is not on screen one of the other characters should ask "Where's Slimer?".

Q5, Quarterly 5 entertainment consulted to make these changes to an uproariously popular show and tanked it. If ever the names of these consultants can be found…if they yet live they shall receive the reckoning of a rude, impolite, and insulting phone call.
Boogeyman scared the shit out of me
Something about him never sat quite right with me either. Couldn't watch him when he showed up.
First two seasons are.
It was great, I have the box set that looks like the firehouse.
as good as it fricking gets (before it became the Slimer show)
>that episode where they fight Cthulhu
Shit was fricking cash.
Knock Knock's ending was intense as frick.
