I think Me Toons managed to clean up the (oddly bad even for the 80s) audio... hopefully this continues going forward. And yes, I do remember a lot of the episodes having a "copied from a tape too many times" sound to them.

I made a video of my recent blog topic of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire's many plot points, and Real Ghostbusters episodes it reminded me of, if you like your blogs in video form.

Please boost. Generally speaking, who is your favorite of the original Ghostbusters? I've only seen the first 2 movies and most of the 80s cartoon. #Poll #Polls #Ghostbusters #RealGhostbusters

One thing a lot of fans and critics have said about Ghostbusters Frozen Empire is that it has too many characters with too little focus on each, and too many plotlines for one movie. There have been interviews with the director where it’s been said they looked towards The Real Ghostbusters cartoon on how they wanted this movie to feel, but I think they should have made it feel like only ONE episode of Real Ghostbusters. This movie has so much crammed into it that I feel they could have taken any number of scenes and plots from this movie and made it into its own sequel. Spoiler warning for those that haven’t seen the new movie yet!

Take the possessor ghost, for instance. In its normal form, the possessor ghost looks kind of like a red orb. But it’s constantly possessing things and making them move around. It possesses the lion statue outside the New York Public Library, as well as the Ecto-1 and even a proton pack briefly. This felt very close to an episode of The Real Ghostbusters from season 3, The Copycat. Instead of possessing items, this ghost can copy anything it sees, such as a lamp, a dog, or even one of the ghostbusters! A ghost like the possessor getting free and being able to control anything it touches could have been a pretty solid story for an hour and a half adventure. It could even have possessed the Ecto-1 and proton packs at key moments to make the ghostbusters cause some real damage and take the blame for its mischief!

Something that happens for a very brief time in the movie is Phoebe getting her spirit separated from her body in order to experience being a ghost. It turns out she was tricked and Garraka was able to control her when she was a ghost. This is maybe three minutes of the movie, but I felt they used up a really good plot idea for a full movie right here. There’s been a couple of stories where a ghostbuster, usually Egon for whatever reason, is in ghost form for a time. There was an episode where the ghostbusters had to retrieve Egon’s spirit from the ghost world and return it to his body, “Egon on the Rampage”. There have also been episodes where a ghostbuster has become possessed, like in Mrs. Rogers’ Neighborhood, where Watt possesses Peter and almost gets him to free all the ghosts from the containment unit.

The idea of ghosts that don’t need to be busted hasn’t been brought up too much in the movies but has on occasion been brought up in the cartoons. Pheobe’s relationship with Melody, a teen girl ghost, as well as her relationship with Egon’s spectral form in Afterlife, have pretty large ramifications for ghostbusters that they could have put more focus on. In the first movie, Ray describes the ghosts being put into the containment unit as ‘incarcerated’, and in Frozen Empire someone describes the new containment units as jails. It’s one thing when you’ve got malevolent spirits haunting a place, but in Afterlife and Frozen Empire, we see ghosts that retain their humanity for a time before moving on. Should someone be advocating for ghosts’ rights? Should there be some investigation done into what kind of haunting they’re dealing with before ‘incarcerating’ them? There have been Real Ghostbusters episodes where they didn’t end up busting the ghost, like in ‘Ghostbuster of the Year’, where they spent a night in a rich dead guy’s castle encountering all types of spooky hauntings (the scene where the pool cues and balls form a person and chase Peter used to creep me out). At the end, they realize the ghost was only looking for ‘Rosebud’, its sled (a nod to Citizen Kane) and once it got it back it moved on.

Another episode, Drool the Dog-Faced Goblin, finds the Ghostbusters encountering a friendly but gross looking ghost, which they insist needs to be trapped even though its caretaker at the sideshow it lives with doesn’t want it busted. In the end it sacrifices itself to save the team and they are forced to trap it along with another ghost, so it ends up busted anyway. The idea that they don’t always have to bust the ghost is one that could be talked about more, and now that we’ve had two movies that bring up the concept of ghosts with humanity just needing to finish business, it makes me feel really sorry for that ghost jogger that was just getting some exercise in Ghostbusters II.

So there you have it, just some of the plotlines that I think could have been extracted from Frozen Empire that were worth taking the time to expand into their own fleshed out stories, and various episodes of The Real Ghostbusters that those plots kind of reminded me of. The Real Ghostbusters had a lot of great stories throughout its several seasons, and I think the director was right to look towards them for inspiration, but he should have also paid attention to the fact that each tended to focus on just one thing at a time.

Plex isn't working tonight, so no #RealGhostbusters. I don't feel like reading or going to bed, so I'm watching the Incredible Shrinking Mokey, one of my favorite episodes of #fragglerock

I don't wear t-shirts as much as I used to. Unually I find sundresses more comfortable. But today I wore one of my TMNT shirts, which reminded me I want to look online for an RGB shirt. I'm pretty sure I won't find one of those in traditional stores. #NinjaTurtles #RealGhostbusters

I just saw my first ever Slimer! short. Not at all what I expected! Short? It seemed to be at least as long as the episode it was attached to, and in my humble opinion, better. #RealGhostbusters

Please boost. Is there any chance that someone here could help me find the handfull of RGB episodes that didn't make it into the DVD set? Thanks! #RealGhostbusters #Ghostbusters

Please boost. I'm looking for people who write fanfic for any of my fandoms. Maybe I can find new recommendations, or maybe I've read your stuff already and liked it! Thanks. #Fanfiction #Disney #Muppets #NinjaTurtles #RealGhostbusters #JaneAndTheDragon #StarTrek #Charmed

I did it! After 3 days, I made it to the end of the #RealGhostbusters archive on AO3! lol It was heavily filtered, but it still counts! I was determined to do it once I got past a certain point! #Fanfiction

You know, with so many authors describing Egon as having a "bass voice," and not actually having watched an episode in a few days, I've started replacing Egon's voice in my head with Worf, lol. #Fanfiction #RealGhostbusters #StarTrek

@Cassiopeia12727 I do like reading both of those, but lots of others as well. Lately I've been looking through #RealGhostbusters #fanfiction

I'd love to see how the Junior Ghostbusters came to be. I must've missed that episode. All of a sudden they were just there. They're in that mirky area between cute and annoying, lol. #RealGhostbusters

Now watching the Grundle. It was a choice between that and Big Trouble With Little Slimer, but I figured maybe I'll just go backwards. #RealGhostbusters

I really didn't mean to, I was looking for something else, but I wound up on the #RealGhostbusters TV Tropes page. Guess it was bound to happen eventually. And guess what? It's referencing a whole bunch more episodes I haven't seen or heard of! This is getting rather frustrating. It's like half the series is missing! Or at least my TV keeps skipping the episodes when I'm scrolling through...

Guess it goes without saying for an older cartoon, but it is annoying how visual some many episodes of #RealGhostbusters can be. Some though are just right.

Apparently there are some #RealGhostbusters episodes I missed the first time I watched the series. I don't know how, but I'm not complaining!

Only 7 of 45 chapters in, and I'm already losing steam with this story I've been reading. Especially since it hasn't been updated nor the author's profile been updated in 3 years, and I left several long reviews on it that I'm not sure if they'll even see. Of course I haven't given up hope or lost patience, it's been less than a day, but still I'm wondering what I'm doing, lol. It seems I just missed the hayday of #RealGhostbusters #fanfiction

Tonight is a night for listening to my ballroom station and reading #RealGhostbusters #fanfiction

Considering that RGB and TMNT have so much in common and ran around the same time, I'm surprised there aren't more crossovers for them. #Fanfiction #RealGhostbusters #NinjaTurtles

Please boost. I'm once again looking for fandom friends! #Disney #LiloAndStitch #PrincessAndTheFrog #DonBluth #Muppets #FraggleRock #StarTrek #Labyrinth #TMNT #RealGhostbusters #TeddyRuxpin

I know it's not as popular as TMNT, but do you have a favorite ghostbuster? Who is it? #Ghostbusters #RealGhostbusters

I feel like rewatching #RealGhostbusters, or at least some sellect episodes, and livetooting them this time.
