Filmation's Ghostbusters was created in the early eighties- several years before the hit live-action film.
The show was basically your run of the mill eighties slapstick children's show; where two guys and a monkey catch ghosts. They are continually pitted against their nemesis- Prime Evil.
The rights to the name "ghostbusters" were bought by columbia pictures when the film 'Ghostbusters' was released. When they turned the hit movie into an animated show it was then legally required to be called The REAL Ghostbusters. Because filmation held the rights to the animated medium.
It's a kooky show and interesting to watch. I remember renting it when I was a little kid and being really really confused. Expecting slimer and the gang; I instead got two inept dudes and an ape.
Fun stuff. Check it out!
