@hcvang look, it's a known fact, you can ask just about ANYONE about Ghostbusters, and they will KNOW about Ackroyd's version, and they'll talk about how great it is. No offense to this show, as i said i had memories of it, but the idea of ghostbusters as exterminators, using technology with a sense of verisimilitude to it, and using witty and hilarious dialogue, is more interesting than a couple guys traveling through time, and over the world, ZAPPING ghosts into another dimension.
@hcvang the movies are NOT ripoffs. why would Dan Ackroyd want to rip off a silly kids show with a guy in a gorilla suit? i doubt he'd even heard of it. it's just the titles were coincidentally the same. now i'm NOT knocking this show, i used to watch it as much as the other show. but Ackroyd did NOT rip anything off, and comparing the two, his is definitely the superior product but i had memories with this show too.
@ahrentzen100 Columbia didn't rip anything off. Dan Ackroyd came up with his own idea for ghost exterminators, which he happened to call "Ghostbusters". it wasn't until the film was in production that they realized Filmation's show existed, and thus there was a title dispute. same thing happened between "Avatar" and *barfs* The Last Airbender (barfing at the movie, not the show)

You dont wanna pay for 'em, but you wanna see 'em?
Guess you're gonna have to live without 'em, then. Or become a criminal... unless you can find a network that airs them somewhere on TV.
Hoping the administrators of this channel are aware of posts like yours... Classic Media: wake up...

Unbelievably awesome? Creativity??
Who created The Ghostbusters? Filmation.
Who ripped it off? Columbia...
Who's the creative ones here, GodslayerJillian? lmao

Your ignorance - not to mention your being too lazy to use google for two seconds to find out - is gay.
These are the next generation of the ORIGINAL ghostbusters, not Columbia's ripoff movie.
