The Real Ghostbusters (1986–1991)
10/10
Just an awesome cartoon!
16 February 2017
Based on the 1984 blockbuster, this cartoon show was just one of the best TV memories for me growing up. Here, Dr. Peter Venkman, Dr. Raymond Stantz, Dr. Egon Spengler and Winston Zeddemore continue on their mission and adventures as the Ghostbusters, trying to rid the city of ghosts - now with a larger contribution from secretary Janine and even help from friendly ghost Slimer.

It is exciting seeing the action, humor and horror continue with this cartoon series, as well as seeing the Ghostbusters tangle with the city's pesky ghosts and goblins. Some of the most memorable episodes that I remembered were the Ghostbusters dealing with the spirits of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, and when the Ghostbusters help a kind old woman rid her home of poltergeists.

The episodes were well-written with imaginative plots, exciting adventures and engaging story lines. The voice actors did a great job in portraying the Ghostbusters, and I most notably remembered actor Lorenzo Music providing the lazy-sounding but iconic voice of Dr. Venkman. The toe-tapping theme song from the original movie can be heard in this cartoon along with a new catch music score as well.

Overall, it's a great TV show that is great for both kids and adults!
