==1st Season (1986)==
[[Real Ghostbusters|The Real Ghostbusters]] was on the air from 1986 until 1991 when it was finally cancelled. In total 140 episodes were produced across 7 seasons, in addition to a spin off show [[Slimer! and the Real Ghostbusters]]. The show aired on ABC's Saturday Morning block of animated programming, and also had a concurrent run of syndicated cartoons that aired on weekdays, which were separate from the ABC episodes. Due to the regular and syndication episodes, [[Real Ghostbusters: Season 2|Season 2]] and [[Real Ghostbusters: Season 3|Season 3]] aired at the same time.


  1- 1            13 Sep 86  [[Ghosts 'R Us]]
==Seasons==
  1- 2             20 Sep 86  [[Killerwatt]]
*Season 1 of the Real Ghostbusters first aired on ABC Saturday Mornings on September 13th 1986. It featured Lorenzo Music as Peter Venkman, Maurice LaMarche as Egon Spengler, Frank Welker as Ray Stantz & Slimer, Arsenio Hall as Winston Zeddmore, and Laura Summer as Janine Melnitz. A total of 13 episodes were produced with huge sucess.
  1- 3             27 Sep 86  [[Mrs. Roger's Neighborhood]]
*Season 2 of the Real Ghostbusters ran syndicated on weekdays in 1987. Stations showing the syndicated episodes ran the from this season for years, and eventually included the rest of the episodes from the first and following seasons into the syndication schedule.
  1- 4              4 Oct 86  [[Slimer, Come Home]]
*Season 3 of the show saw serious changes in direction of the series. During Early 1988 the show was changed to an hour format and the Season 1 shows where shown along with Season 3. However the episodes from Season 1 had the voices of [[Lorenzo Music]] ([[Peter Venkman]]) and [[Laura Summer]] ([[Janine Melnitz]]) removed and instead voiced by [[Dave Coulier]] and [[Kath Soucie]].
  1- 5            11 Oct 86  [[Troll Bridge]]
*Season 4 was when the hour block was renamed "[[Slimer! and The Real Ghostbusters]]". It was reformatted to a more kid-friendly show. Including two 15 minute long Slimer! episodes and one 30 minute The Real Ghostbusters episode put in the middle of them.
  1- 6            18 Oct 86  [[The Boogieman Cometh]]
*Season 5 had serious changes to the show with [[Ghostbusters II]] in theaters that summer the cartoon was re-tuned to fit with the movie. The most noticeable change was with Louis Tully added. The "Slimer! and the Real Ghostbusters Format was changed to one 15 minute Real Ghostbusters episode, a 30 minute Real Ghostbusters episode and a 15 minute Slimer! episode.
  1- 7            25 Oct 86  [[Mr. Sandman, Dream Me a Dream]]
*Season 6 the show now was of two 30 minute The Real Ghostbuster episodes but the intro and show title remained "Slimer! and The Real Ghostbusters" In fact they even updated the music of the intro to the new sort of hard rock style version of Ray Parker, Jr. music. Sometimes this season is said to have the least likable music and animation effects, and many blame it for the end of the Animated Series.
  1- 8              1 Nov 86  [[When Halloween Was Forever]]
*Season 7 was the final season and only had four episodes. It was changed to a half hour block with one The Real Ghostbusters episode. However, like season 6 the title of the show and intro was still "Slimer! and The Real Ghostbusters". Interestingly towards midway in the season ABC canceled other shows and the real Ghostbusters moved back to the 9/10 slot with a hour show to end the run.
  1- 9              8 Nov 86  [[Look Homeward, Ray]]
  1-10            15 Nov 86  [[Take Two]]
  1-11            22 Nov 86  [[Citizen Ghost]]
  1-12              6 Dec 86  [[Janine's Genie]]
  1-13            13 Dec 86  [[Xmas Marks the Spot]]

Latest revision as of 04:57, February 1, 2013

The Real Ghostbusters was on the air from 1986 until 1991 when it was finally cancelled. In total 140 episodes were produced across 7 seasons, in addition to a spin off show Slimer! and the Real Ghostbusters. The show aired on ABC's Saturday Morning block of animated programming, and also had a concurrent run of syndicated cartoons that aired on weekdays, which were separate from the ABC episodes. Due to the regular and syndication episodes, Season 2 and Season 3 aired at the same time.

Seasons

  • Season 1 of the Real Ghostbusters first aired on ABC Saturday Mornings on September 13th 1986. It featured Lorenzo Music as Peter Venkman, Maurice LaMarche as Egon Spengler, Frank Welker as Ray Stantz & Slimer, Arsenio Hall as Winston Zeddmore, and Laura Summer as Janine Melnitz. A total of 13 episodes were produced with huge sucess.
  • Season 2 of the Real Ghostbusters ran syndicated on weekdays in 1987. Stations showing the syndicated episodes ran the from this season for years, and eventually included the rest of the episodes from the first and following seasons into the syndication schedule.
  • Season 3 of the show saw serious changes in direction of the series. During Early 1988 the show was changed to an hour format and the Season 1 shows where shown along with Season 3. However the episodes from Season 1 had the voices of Lorenzo Music (Peter Venkman) and Laura Summer (Janine Melnitz) removed and instead voiced by Dave Coulier and Kath Soucie.
  • Season 4 was when the hour block was renamed "Slimer! and The Real Ghostbusters". It was reformatted to a more kid-friendly show. Including two 15 minute long Slimer! episodes and one 30 minute The Real Ghostbusters episode put in the middle of them.
  • Season 5 had serious changes to the show with Ghostbusters II in theaters that summer the cartoon was re-tuned to fit with the movie. The most noticeable change was with Louis Tully added. The "Slimer! and the Real Ghostbusters Format was changed to one 15 minute Real Ghostbusters episode, a 30 minute Real Ghostbusters episode and a 15 minute Slimer! episode.
  • Season 6 the show now was of two 30 minute The Real Ghostbuster episodes but the intro and show title remained "Slimer! and The Real Ghostbusters" In fact they even updated the music of the intro to the new sort of hard rock style version of Ray Parker, Jr. music. Sometimes this season is said to have the least likable music and animation effects, and many blame it for the end of the Animated Series.
  • Season 7 was the final season and only had four episodes. It was changed to a half hour block with one The Real Ghostbusters episode. However, like season 6 the title of the show and intro was still "Slimer! and The Real Ghostbusters". Interestingly towards midway in the season ABC canceled other shows and the real Ghostbusters moved back to the 9/10 slot with a hour show to end the run.
