The Real Ghostbusters Volumes 6 to 10 Sony 2016 DVD Review
You said “Three Men and an Egon” is a tiny bit fast. It could be that 22:22 is the correct speed.
Also, three episodes from ABC season two and two from ABC season three were 22:30 on the Time-Life DVD. It appears Time-Life used late 80’s/early 90’s time-sped Syndication copies.
Vahan, it isn’t just the runtime on Three Men that tells me it’s a bit sped-up. I can hear it in the audio, too. I have very sensitive hearing and pick up on things like this. But like I said in the review, it’s close to the proper speed and MUCH better than what was on the TimeLife set, so I’m good with it 🙂
Hey, can you compare the closing credits and logos from “Ghostbuster of the Year”? the 2006 Sony and the 2008 TimeLife DVDs retain the original Columbia Pictures Television logo, I’m not sure about the 2016 Sony DVD re-release…
One can buy the two new german box sets, including the complete series (english audio!), all title cards, corrected speed and the whole Slimer run. But you have to buy a region 2 player, too
Jason – “Ghostbuster of the Year” (Vol. 6) also closes with the new Sony Pictures Television logo.
Timo – The German sets are PAL, right? Even with a region-free player, wouldn’t that still be a problem for U.S. viewers? Unless that whole NTSC/PAL thing is no longer an issue with digital HDTVs. I don’t know much about it.
Hey Timo & everybody else: I happen to have that German/English set. I can confirm that the ep titles and credits at the start of each ep are in Eng, that Eng audio is an option, that all discs include artwork, that sticker art is included along with 2 postcards, and that the booklets include more artwork.
Also, Region Free players typically include a PAL-to-NTSC converter for foreign DVDs. Otherwise, they would be pretty useless, as almost all non-region 1 DVDs are in PAL.
If anyone wants one of these sets (in the US), let me know!
Did anyone ever buy the Vol 1-10 DVD set that came out October 3? The only potential benefit I can see of buying that is if they modified the presentation or corrected any of the outright problems present on these sets (aside from the lack of a wraparound slip cover).
Jonathan, I’ve been trying to get a review copy, but no such luck. I physically saw it at Best Buy for $45, and judging by the outer package, it’s all 10 discs in a 1-inch thick plastic case. I highly doubt that they’re new discs. If I can get a copy, I’ll post a review.
Does abybody know the resource of the episodes now airing on Netflix? So far every episode I have watched seens to play at the correct speed and all include title cards-
As far as I know, the masters used for the Netflix episodes have not been used on any (recent) home video release. – Paul
I came to this site to see if TimeLife set version have subtitle/closed caption. Turned out, it does not have it. I’m glad this site save me money!!!
I’m glad I bought the latest 1-10 vol DVD box set.
One question, does the digital version of google play and amazon prime better than Timelife and latest box set? I know the fact every movies and shows have closed caption/subtitles. Again, thanks!
Episodes Victor the Happy Ghost, The Two Faces of Slimer, and Big Trouble With Little Slimer are available digitally on certain download sites like Amazon, iTunes, and Google Play. I did research on the 2016 digital releases of the show. 5 episodes were not included on the DVD’s, but are available digitally.
I hope you can help me I feel like I’m losing my mind…there is an episode that haunts me to this day and I can’t figure it out. Its mostly a “Slimer” episode, but it was The Real Ghostbusters animation not the actual “Slimer” episodes. I remember cause it had the “Dark spooky tone” that usually accompanies the series. Basically (to make this shorter, like I had hoped to initially), Slimer gets his slime sucked/absorbed/leeched out by a “Vampiric” style ghost that feeds ON GHOSTS. Now I remember this episode like a distant birthday, he gets drained and loses most of his corporeal state without his slime and gets weaker to boot. I’ve looked and searched the net for signs of this “lost episode” but turned no leads. I’m almost about to give up hope and just write it off as a disillusion or a “Mandela Effect” but I’d rather get one last opinion considering most of my siblings either don’t care or don’t bother wanting to remember. Ironically I had one of my closer in age brothers, (I’m the youngest of 7 children of 5 boys), remember something but he couldn’t quite pull the memory clean and it became a blur styled memory…That’s the closest I had gotten in terms of finding some clarity. I hope someone here with knowledge of the episode in question has either answers…or helps put it to bed and forget it once and for all.
You’re thinking of the episode “My Left Fang”, and possibly a little bit of “Slimer, Come Home”. – Paul
