What's on Screen? The Real Ghostbusters

Alright so today we're going to be looking at something old. Thanks to the wonderful internet and Netflix, we're able to watch a lot of shows and things that were on TV when we were younger. This past weekend we had the pleasure of watching a handful of episodes of The REAL Ghostbusters.


This is a show that I vaguely remember, in the best ways from when I was younger. I'm sure a number of us remember everything that came with the The Real Ghostbusters. Awesome weird toys, and of course the Ecto Cooler!

The Real Ghostbusters played with the ideas that were made when the movies came out. It extended the realm of the stories. There were more ghosts and ideas explored. They mentioned ghosts and things that people might try to look up. Voodoo, european folklore and all kinds of interesting things even genies!

It might lack continuity, but it has a lot of creative spooks and it makes tons of pop culture references that may escape younger kids, but as a chance to remember and enjoy something more or less mindless was nice.
