A follow-up to the 1986 TV cartoon series, this show was another one of the best TV memories for me growing up. Who are you gonna continue to call - Dr. Peter Venkman, Dr. Raymond Stantz, Dr. Egon Spengler and Winston Zeddemore continue on their mission and adventures as the Ghostbusters, but now, the friendly ghost Slimer takes center stage and we get to see his own unique adventures.Just like the show's prequel, The Real Ghostbusters, it is exciting seeing the action, humor and horror continue with this show, as well as seeing Slimer dealing with his own set of villains, buddies and action.The episodes were well-written with imaginative plots and just all-around fun story lines. The voice actors continued to do a great job in portraying their respective characters (for some reason, the Ghostbusters looked younger in this show, making me think the series was set before the events of The Real Ghostbusters).The toe-tapping theme song once again can be heard in this cartoon along with a new catchy music score as well.Overall, it's a great cartoon, and while its prequel is fit for both kids and adults, this one is a tad more geared toward the younger crowd.Grade A-

After the popularity of the Ghostbusters movie came The Real Ghostbusters, which due to the 'addition' of Slimer as a main character led to his popularity among kids in the late 80's. After the main ghost with the most (besides Beetlejuice) gained a lot of kid's affection it led to Slimer becoming a main "title" character. The newer Ghostbusters cartoon featured more of the slimy spud, but the show was still basically The Real Ghostbusters.The cartoon that was released after the first movie (The Real Ghostbusters) is still considered the "best" although aside from the intro there is not much more of a difference. Slimer was fun for awhile, looking back, but at the time his being an addition to the team was excellent. Even thought this version of the show wasn't great it still trumps a lot of the future Ghostbuster spin-offs... That being said, I hope the new game captures the original feel.Who ya gonna call? Precisely!

Wasn't it bad enough that the Real Ghostbusters show was filled with crap episodes that were forced down the guts of viewers unlike great shows like Spiral Zone, Bravestarr and Cops? The RGBs itself may have been a crappy ass show filled with 1 or 2 really good episodes per season until the franchise got revived some ten years later in a far better series called Extreme Ghostbusters, but who would really want a spin off like Slimer! and....People ask why? Well, it was because of business and related politics. They wanted to make the show more kids friendly and some people left the team, sending the RGB show to the very bottom. Its a good thing they decided to scrap most of the originals and go for some new people.

This in My opinion was just the same as The Real Ghostbusters show just except if focused on Slimer a bit more. It was still a very good animated show of the 80s. If it is ever on TV or you see it on video pick it up! Its very good! Recommended!
