Slimer! And the Real Ghostbusters

That's pretty much all you have to ask yourself. Don't expect the witty Ghostbusters of the past, as they're given minor roles in this series. As long as you don't expect much, you won't be disappointed. It really is an embarrassment to the whole Ghostbusters franchise (yes, it's worse than Extreme Ghostbusters) and yet it's actually on par with 90% of the cartoons of the time. Odd.

This series focused more on the Ghostbusters' pet, Slimer rather than the Ghostbusters themselves. Basically, Slimer had a much larger role and had more adventures. The problem with this show was how it became to much like any other Saturday morning show. Silly and filled with pointless cartoon violence. The show has it's moments but doesn't live up to the original Real Ghostbusters.

This in My opinion was just the same as The Real Ghostbusters show just except if focused on Slimer a bit more. It was still a very good animated show of the 80s. If it is ever on TV or you see it on video pick it up! Its very good! Recommended!

I don't know what made the producers think that Slimer was the star of the Real Ghostbusters. Slimer was very annoying and I always hoped the team would bust him and put him in the containment unit. Seriously though, the Real Ghostbusters was already on life support long before this show started. This show was little more than a desperate attempt to keep this franchise going.

Watch the first two seasons(AND ONLY THE FIRST TWO SEASONS!!) of the Real Ghostbusters instead. >

A follow-up to the 1986 TV cartoon series, this show was another one of the best TV memories for me growing up. Who are you gonna continue to call - Dr. Peter Venkman, Dr. Raymond Stantz, Dr. Egon Spengler and Winston Zeddemore continue on their mission and adventures as the Ghostbusters, but now, the friendly ghost Slimer takes center stage and we get to see his own unique adventures.

Just like the show's prequel, The Real Ghostbusters, it is exciting seeing the action, humor and horror continue with this show, as well as seeing Slimer dealing with his own set of villains, buddies and action.

The episodes were well-written with imaginative plots and just all-around fun story lines. The voice actors continued to do a great job in portraying their respective characters (for some reason, the Ghostbusters looked younger in this show, making me think the series was set before the events of The Real Ghostbusters).

The toe-tapping theme song once again can be heard in this cartoon along with a new catchy music score as well.

Overall, it's a great cartoon, and while its prequel is fit for both kids and adults, this one is a tad more geared toward the younger crowd.
