The Real Ghostbusters is a amazing show. It might be my favorite childhood show of all time. The first 3 and half to 4 seasons are some of the best stuff you could find in a cartoon at the time. The voice acting was top notch. The story telling dared to dream big and did so. Every Saturday morning I stood in front of my TV pretending with my toy proton pack and following the action.
A few years back Time Life made a complete set of the series. All the season in one awesome fire house box set with bonus interviews, pilot episode and tons more. It was pretty pricey($125) but I think it was worth every penny as my son is now enjoying the show. About mid way through the 4th season it drops off with the writing and voice acting team changing. In the first 3 seasons I can't think of any episodes I don't like. After that its hit or miss. The first season alone is pure gold. There are parts I am sure parents weren't crazy about. It gets pretty scary at times but that is what makes it great. At the end with the Slimer stuff is just pure awful and killed the series by making him the central character. But even with that it should be handed down to new generations of Ghostbuster fans. The great thing is that every episode is on Youtube so you don't have to shell out big money to enjoy these. Comment any episodes you feel I missed on! I love talking about this show.

10.Something is going around-Season 4
Peter is sick and Louis finds a doctor. It turns out the Doctor is a ghost and gives the Ghostbusters these "healthy" chips that really make them allergic to ghosts. I enjoyed this one as a kid since the Ghostbusters get all gross looking since their bodies physically react to ghosts. One of the few good post season 3 episodes  Full Episode Here

9.Flip Side-Season 4
I always found this one just fun. The Ghostbusters end up in another dimension where this New York and populated by Ghosts and people are busted. So who are you going call? Well Peoplebusters of course! I always wished that Kenner put out these Peoplebusters but never did. Full Episode Here

8.Mrs.Rogers Neighborhood-Season 1
This this one is full of creep as the Ghostbusters are called to help poor Mrs.Rogers with Ghost in house. They of course let her stay at the firehouse while they do the job. Come to find out she is really a Demon and takes over Peters body and tries to open the containment unit. Between Peter being creepy as hell and the plot this makes for a awesome episode that sets the tone for the rest of the season. Full Episode Here

7.Mr.Sandman Dream Me a Dream-Season 1
The sandman thinks the world might stop fighting its self if takes a 500 year old nap. Its a bit of wacky episode but I think the Sandman character is great with amazing voice work. Again Kenner where was this toy?!?! This one features Winston as the main Ghostbuster which is a good change.

6.When Halloween was Forever-Season 1
A great Halloween Episode! Their is some ancient ruins that are brought to New York and it contains the spirit of  Samhain who is a spooky pumpkin looking dude(Kenner??) who want Halloween to last forever which is isn't the worst idea I have ever heard. Full Episode Here

5.Slimer Come Home-Season 1
I don't care for Slimer centered episodes so much but this one always scared me because I thought the lead poltergeist ghost was a giant creep. He would open his coat up and showing off his belly... Just seemed odd. Slimer screws up Winston's B-day party and Peter lets him have it which leads him to leaving which I say 'Great!". Maybe if he would have stayed gone we would never get Silmer taking over the show in the later seasons. Full Episode Here

4.Take Two-Season 1
This one is a neat episode as the Ghostbusters are called to the set of the Ghostbusters movie being made. There is a ghost that is causing problems and the gang fly out to Hollywood. They even mention the cast from the movie and show scenes from the movie at the end which is pretty cool as a kid. You gotta love how the movie and this show work together. Full Episode Here

3.The Boogieman Cometh-Season 1
Who wasn't afraid of the Boogieman in their closet as a kid? He is a pretty scary character and used to have me checking my closet for him as a kid. Again Kenner drops the ball and never made a toy of him. The Ghostbuster go after the Boogieman in his nightmare world and has them running through different bedrooms. Wonder if Monsters Inc came from this episode? Egon remembers the Boogieman from his childhood so wants to put a stop to it. The Boogieman isn't even a ghost which leads to a issue. There is this one part where Winston shoots the Boogieman through the window outside which is pretty dangerous.If he kills the kids... yeesh... Bad PR.  Full Episode Here

2.Citizen Ghost-Season 1
This is a amazing episode. If I didn't feel my number 1 was so epic and intense this would easily be number 1. As a kid this was my favorite(again Kenner?? where are the ghost Ghostbusters?). You get a great flash back story on the events hours and days after the Gozer show down. You even get to see the guys in their old brown flight suits and how the colored ones came into the picture. It also ties Slimer and his story to the Ghostbusters of how joined them. Again, the way this cartoon uses the movie is fantastic. Grabbing from the movie just makes it legit in a kids mind.
The problem starts as the guys return from heir fight with Gozer and Peter and given the task to dispose of the flight suits that have Stay puff all over them. Peter gets lazy and leaves them in a box in the basement. The suits then fill themselves with the Spectral Ghostbusters who want to kill and replace the Ghostbusters. The Spectral Ghostbusters are aggressive and out for blood. The Ghostbusters spend most the episode dodging proton pack fire. Its a must watch for any Ghostbuster fan(you younger fans for sure) Full Episode Here

1.Knock Knock-Season 2
Knock Knock could easily be a full length movie. Its better than Ghostbuster 2. A construction worker is working on the subway and stumbles onto the door way to hell. Its isn't suppose to open until the end of the world. Well it opens and all the evil from hell is unleashed on New York. There is great creepy moments with a rowing boat of dead people, a dead subway trip and a spooky talking tree.
Where it really turns up is in the end where the Ghostbusters have to shut the door. It is intense scene where they are basically going to die shutting this thing and acknowledge that. The voice acting is phenomenal and the shots of the proton packs over heating and the PKE going crazy add to the moment. Egon leads the Ghostbusters into the door stressing that this could be it. The build up and moment are pretty intense for a kids show. It even has great lines of detail as Egon barks out commands on what setting the proton packs should be(WIDE ANGEL!). Its just epic...
