Let's discuss the animated series inspired by the movie, which I grew up on!
Celebrate the 35th anniversary of The Real Ghostbusters by watching the promo pilot + first episode!
In celebration of today, September 13th, 2021, marking the 35th anniversary of The Real Ghostbusters, I thought we might as well take a trip down memory lane and check out what started it all: the original promo pilot and the classic first episode “Ghosts R Us.”
As seen in the above promo pilot, a few things did wind up changing before the first episode hit the airwaves. Those changes included the Ghostbusters originally having their tan flight suits, Peter Venkman appearing more like Bill Murray, and Slimer looking a bit more threatening, much like his film counterpart.
For more on the promo pilot, I’d suggest checking out the below video from Cinemattox, highlighting the restoration of the promo pilot by Robert Barbieri.
Following the pilot, The Real Ghostbusters received got a bit of a makeover, eventually airing on September 13th, 1986, becoming the series we all know and love.
Enjoy the first episode of The Real Ghostbusters entitled “Ghosts R Us” below, showcasing the Ghostbusters’ first animated adventure!
