The story takes place after The Ghost Busters (starring Forrest Tucker, Larry Storch, and Bob Burns). But this time their sons are joined up with Tracey the gorilla (who returns), Jessica ( a TV reporter), Futura (a mysterious woman from the future), and Belfry the bat. At their HQ "Ghost Command" they battle the evil spooks of Prime Evil, at his "Haunt-Quarters" and even through space and time in their transforming GhostBuggy.

For those of you who don't the story of how The Real Ghostbusters got the name, here's the lowdown (thanks to ProtonCharging.com):

When the movie was being made it turned out that Filmation Associates already had a show called "Ghostbusters". Due to the popularity of the Ivan Reitman directed movie, Filmation revamped their show and made it animated, "Filmations' GhostBusters" (a.k.a. "the Original GhostBusters"). So when Columbia came out with their own animated spinoff of Dan Ackroyd and Harold Ramis's "Ghostbusters" movie, they decided to call it "The REAL Ghostbusters" just to spite Filmation.

But that's not all:

"We've often assumed that Filmation opened litigation against Columbia. As it turns out (or at least according to Tomart's article) Columbia was free and clear to use "Ghostbusters" without Filmation's permission. When Filmation began work on their cartoon Ghost Busters, it was Columbia who turned it into a legal issue. You learn something new everyday."less «

  One of the most amusing aspects of this series was that hilarious change sequence when the guys go from their regular clothes into their uniforms. One part though that sort of got screwed up is the fact that when the guys are placed on the web, it zaps off everything but their boxer shorts as well as their shoes and socks. The latter comes to question with the fact that in the next shots, their footwear is gone anyway. Just how or when did they vanish? Notice that Jake sits on a chair barefoot as the slidewalk takes him to the changing box. In Eddie's case, a giant bony foot kicks him off the web and he's instantly barefoot as he drops to the changing box as well. There's no evidence that indicate when the shoes vanish. I hope someday one of the animators (or someone else) could explain this. One thing I wish they could have done was to have the sequence done in reverse. Not just playing the sequence backward, but have the guys having come home from a long day's work and then changing out of their uniforms into their regular clothes. It would have been interesting to see that.less «

  Great show! hide « show »

  This show was soooooo awesome! I think it was way better than the Real Ghostbusters. I bought Volume 1 of the DVDs, and can't wait to get volume 2. I think this is one of the best shows ever and I think they need to start showing reruns. I think it had better music, better characters, better villains, and better stories than any of the other Ghostbusters TV shows. Now, I'm gonna go watch my DVD!!! Thanks for the reminder! hahaha Now, if you haven't seen this show, I strongly suggest that you go rent the DVD and see for yourself how good it is!

  Not Half Bad hide « show »

  Im a fan of The Real Ghostbusters but this show was so awesome. It may have ripped off Ghostbusters but this was cool. I liked how it was two guys and a gorilla. The theme song was cool and catchy. I also like Prime Evil. Come on, that villian was awesome. It was cool how Prime Evil was the main villian and had his goons. The show was just a blast to watch. It also had the reporter girl and future girl who both were pretty cool. The show had cool plots and it was different. May not had lasted long but it was just a great show and glad its coming out on dvd. One good show.

  Ghostbusters is an all time classic. hide « show »

  Ghostbusters is an all time classic. I use to watch it when I was younger. If you enjoyed the movies then you will enjoy the television show. They actually showing reruns in October on teletoon to celebrate Halloween it was nice to see the show on again. It is to bad they took it off after Halloween was over because they didn\\\'t finish all the episodes and it would have been nice to see them all again. They also showed other old shows such as beetlejuice which was anotehr show I enjoyed watching when I was young. Both the movie and the show are quite good.

  I have fond memories of this series, and having just found a region 2 DVD containing the first 6 episodes I've introduced it to my 2 year old nephew who loves it (but then he likes any thing with monkeys). hide « show »

  This is a cartoon from Filmation (the company which brought us He-Man and She-Ra) about two guys (Jake Kong Jr. and Eddie Spencer Jr.) and their Gorilla friend Tracy (who creates and repairs most of their tools and weapons) and their fight against the robotic skeletor-like ghost: Prime Evil and his minions.
  
  This Cartoon follows on from the original Ghostbusters Live Action show from the 70's (not the film with Bill Murrey and Dan Akroyd).
  
  The Jake and Eddie of the cartoon are the sons of the original Jake and Eddie from the Live Action show, Tracey, however, is the same Ape.
  
  As a child, I used to really enjoy this show and actually preferd it over "The 'Real' Ghostbusters" cartoon which followed it.
  
  There is now an R2 DVD available containing the first 6 episodes, including my favourite "The Ransom of Eddie Spencer" where Eddie (voiced by Peter "Optimus Prime" Cullen) is kidnaped by Haunter and procedes to drive Prime Evil crazy with his accident-prone nature.
