The changed intro for "Slimer! ...and Friends" -Spinnoff ! =) ...and "No!" - it is NOT called "Slimer And The Real Ghostbusters" ! That´s why they changed the intro for the slimer-spinnoff.series ;-)
@gljfefe no this was when slimer became more popular and it was a spin off series called slimer and the real ghostbusters. This show circled a little bit more around slimer and his adventures instead of the ghostbusters
Yeah this really was the start of the rapid downward spiral for all things ghostbusters. This really pissed on the show, the toy line did those awful fright features figures, not to mention ridiculous villans / vehicles. Shame. All about money.
This intro was made when the actual cartoon was losing steam. They played this on saturday mornings and gave slimer more of a leading role, with stories more centralized around him. Personally I liked the older ones the most.
I think another part of the problem was the fact that, though it had one title, they were more or less doing two different versions for the same show - the more kid-friendly ABC version, and the after-school syndicated version, which could include things like Cthulu and Ragnarok.
The fat guy in the beginning, his name is Dweeb. He's a loser scientist who has no life and is determined to catch Slimer in order to put the Ghostbusters out of business.
But that will never happen because the Ghostbusters are forever!!!
I never even knew of this re-branded series until a few weeks ago. Why did they re-brand the show - was it because of the Venkman voice actor leaving?
This is when ghostbusters starting going downhill in my opinion. Making slimer the main star was not only dumb but not very appealing either. Catchy theme song though.
well killing the series was more down to age and the voice actors leaving. a huge confidence knock. they were also running out of ideas.ghostbusters extreme followed thi, but was only created to fill in a few holes they made in the origional along the way and lay the final nail in the coffin.
extreme also looked more like a punk rap show and that did not reflect well with veiwers.
there wont be a return of the ghostbusters. its dead.forever.
This was shown during Ghost Train (ooh-ahh) (and also on CITV), but only the main programme not the Slimer cartoons. To be honest, dumbing down the show was a major disappointment, not to mention changing the voices.
It's from 1990. This intro was made for the 1988 season, but they changed the theme music in 1990 and played it over the same intro scenes they'd been using already.
Oh yea they tried to spin it off with the slimer episodes and side characters. If memory serves the bellhop was the stereo typical "surfer dude". Dont recall to much on the others, But Prof Dweeb was always trying to catch slimer.
That's Professor Dweeb, a character from those goofy "Slimer!" cartoons that they added in the fourth season. (That's also where the cat, the bellhop, the chef, and the ice-cream lady come from)
This opening was the only time you see the goofy cartoony world of "Slimer" cross into the normal Ghostbusters world, except for Dweeb appearing in a couple of Ghostbusters stories toward the end. Dumb move.
This from the days when they had those Slimer shorts, not very well-loved, but it was funny that one of them opened with "This is the naked city, what, we can't say 'naked' in a cartoon? Allright, then. This the scantily-clad city. There are a million stories here, this only one of the dumber ones."
well beyond all discussions... I think that this series was sometimes not really for kids :D some scenes were like "Damn... this one needs a pg rating"
I do agree that they had to replace the aging background music by season6.Some of that new background music you could also hear in Captain Planet in the first seasons some of it sounded eerrie.I wish that the theme song was from Extreme Ghostbusters instead of that goofy one that sounded like "ghostbusters song had the runs."
Yeah...much as I liked Shuki Levy's background music, it probably was time to replace it after 5 seasons. It's just that the new music was dull. There was nothing stirring about it.
This version of the theme was kind of a cool jolt, though.
Yeah but even the animation for that opening was top notch. ahhahahah! I remember the show was split; i THINK slimer has his own little shorts which explain the goofiness. and does anybody remember how jeanine's appearance kept on changing between seasons!? i remember she had 4-5 different designs.
