Saturday Morning Cartoons – The Real Ghostbusters

It’s Saturday morning, so let’s get to work!

With all of the excitement coming out of #NYCC2024 surrounding the announcement of the Ghostbusters Plasma Series Ectomobile, what better time to dig into the crates and check out the pilot episode of “The Real Ghostbusters”?!

So with that, my friends, grab your cereal, get comfy and LET’S GO!

S1.E1 ∙ Ghosts R Us

Sat, Sep 13, 1986

Slimer accidentally releases three ghosts from the containment unit and they set out to put Ghostbusters out of business by opening their own business, ‘Ghosts R Us’.

The Real Ghostbusters is an American animated television series, a spin-off and sequel of the 1984 comedy film Ghostbusters. The series ran on ABC between September 13, 1986 and October 5, 1991, and was a joint production of DIC Enterprises in association with Columbia Pictures Television and distributed by Coca-Cola Telecommunications.

The series continues the adventures of paranormal investigators Dr. Peter Venkman, Dr. Egon Spengler, Dr. Ray Stantz, Winston Zeddemore, their secretary Janine Melnitz and their mascot ghost Slimer.

“The Real” was added to the title after a dispute with Filmation and its Ghost Busters properties.


I absolutely love this franchise, so I’m happy to see that fans of both 1:18 and now 1:12 can add kick-ass ectomobiles to their collection!

On that note, friends, enjoy your Saturday!
