Information about a historically significant unproduced Real Ghostbusters script.
There are several episodes that do not have multimedia because I have not had a chance to do the multimedia for them. They are: Chicken, He Clucked; Elementary My Dear Winston; Future Tense; Ghostworld; Hanging By A Thread; If I Were A Witch Man; It’s About Time; Jailbusters; Kitty-Cornered; Loose Screws; Partners In Slime; Revenge Of The Ghostmaster; Slimer Streak; Slimer’s Curse; Something’s Going Around; Surely You Joust; The Collect Call Of Cathulhu; The Devil To Pay; The Ghostbusters Live From Al Capone’s Tomb; The Haunting Of Heck House; The Ransom Of Greenspud; Three Men And An Egon; Til Death Do Us Part; Trading Faces; Transcendental Tourists; Venk-Man!; and When Halloween Was Forever.
In this animated update of the hit motion picture, the Ghostbusters are up to their same old tricks, keeping the city safe from demons, curses, spooks and every other off-the-wall weirdness known (and unknown) to mortal man. This time they have help from their old nemesis Slimer (“Onionhead”), a new arsenal of weapons, and an occasional assist from their faithful secretary Janine Melnitz.
In 1988, the series was part of a one-hour block of Ghostbusters cartoons (it was joined with the newly created “Slimer!” series) known as “Slimer! And The Real Ghostbusters.”
Synopsis written by Paul Rudoff, with the first sentence based on text from Jeff Lenburg’s “The Encyclopedia Of Animated Cartoons.”
There are officially six seasons, with Season 1 being divided into “Season 1 – Network (ABC)” and “Season 1 – Syndicated”. These are noted by “1n” and “1s”, respectively, in the list below. The “Season” column, which is the default sorting method, lists the episodes based upon the official season designations and the production numbers. You can find the exact production numbers on each episode page.
The “DVD #” column lists the episodes in the order from The Real Ghostbusters: Complete Collection DVD box set. This is almost the same as the Season order, except primarily for seasons 1-Network, 2, and 6, where some episodes were rearranged to better fit the series continuity. If you’d like to know which episodes are on which volumes and discs, please consult the DVD Complete Set Breakdown.
Although I’m referring to them as “episodes”, as most people do, what is listed below are all 140 The Real Ghostbusters STORIES. These stories were put together into 134 episodes, with six episodes from Season 4 containing two stories each. The two-story episodes are listed as .1 and .2 in the “DVD #” column.
The episode numbers listed on the individual pages are based on the production numbers.
