Ghostbusters

    (First, 1986)
©1986 Filmation Associates

These Ghostbusters are a gaggle of misfits who stop ghosts, wherever they may be haunting. The team is comprised of dashing leader Jake, Eddie, who is gawky but humorous; talking ape Tracy; Futura, a space woman from the future, and the team’s pet bat Belfry. By hopping in their Ghost Buggy, they are able to travel across time and space to save people who are being terrorized by ghosts. Once the ghosts are found, the usual tactic is to zap them with a dematerializer to wipe them out. In addition to relating their adventures, this series contained numerous puzzle pages, games, and other activities.

Following the hit movie, Filmation Associates succeeded in grabbing use of the trademark “Ghostbusters” for their animated kids show, from which this series is adapted.
Shortly afterward, Columbia Pictures released a more direct (and successful) adaptation of the movie, under the pointed name “The Real Ghostbusters.”
