The Real Ghostbusters - Cartoon

"The Real Ghostbusters" was a cartoon series that started back in 1986, the same year that saw the release of Top Gun and "Crocodile" Dundee. It was also the year that Madonna released her hit single "Papa Don't Preach".



The cartoon series was based on the original 1984 film "Ghostbusters". The word "Real" was added because a similarly-named cartoon based on an entirely different show from the 70s was also airing on TV at the time.

Throughout the show, The Ghostbusters, their secretary Janine, their accountant Louis and their green ghost Slimer, chased ghosts around New York city.



The cartoon quickly became a success after its release, being named by IGN as the 22nd best show in the Top 100 Best Animated TV Shows. After running for 7 seasons, which comprised of 147 episodes in total, the original airing of the show came to an end in 1991.

Here's an episode called "The Devil to Pay", complete with the intro:
