A call sheet is the filmmaking term for the schedule issued to the cast and crew of a production to inform them of where and when they should report for a particular day of filming/recording. Call sheets include the day and time when people are expected to start work, the name and address of the shoot location (recording studio), as well as the list of actors and the roles they will be portraying that day. There is also a “Screen Actors Guild – Actors Production Time Report”, which each actor is required to sign in order to be paid for that day’s work.
Voice director Marsha Goodman has kept nearly all of the paperwork for The Real Ghostbusters all these years. She gifted a huge stack of 455 pages of call sheets to James Eatock back in 2008 when he interviewed her for TimeLife The Real Ghostbusters DVD box set. James has graciously scanned in every one of these pages and has shared them exclusively with Spook Central.
They have been assembled into 10 individual PDF files, organized by season, as per the episode guide. Every episode has at least one page of paperwork for it, except for “Poultrygeist” (Season 3, #175002) and the Slimer! shorts “Crusin’ For A Brusin'” and “Little Green Sliming Hood”. Since the first few seasons of the show did not credit the guest actors, and the latter seasons grouped them all together at the end of every episode, these call sheets provide us with a concrete list of credits for nearly the entire series! Some notes are provided below, after the Table of Contents. Also note that all personal information has been censored on these sheets.
Thanks to Matthew Jordan for taking the original PDFs I had here, fixing the images inside, and sending them back to me so I would have better PDFs to present to all of you. These are the copies that appear below, replacing the raw originals.
PLEASE NOTE: If you want to reference the information contained therein, feel free to do so. Please do NOT redistribute these pages. If you want to link here as a reference, please link to this page, but NOT to the individual PDFs. Thanks.
