THE GHOST BUSTERS Live Action Saturday Morning Filmation Series Inro

Описание: The Ghost Busters was a live action Saturday morning sitcom produced by Filmation for CBS in 1975. The series ran for 15 episodes and starred Larry Storch as Eddie Spencer, Forrest Tucker as Jake Kong and Bob Burns as Tracy the gorilla. As the series relied on slapstick, both the good and evil characters were often portrayed as clumsy or inept.

The premise was that the trio were paranormal detectives who would investigate a ghost or monster in each episode. The villain of the week would be defeated with the use of the Ghost De-Materializer. A device that would send them to the netherworld. The shows villains were often supernatural characters from literature or the ghost of historical people. These included Billy the Kid, Belle Starr, Dr. Frankenstein and his monster, The Red Baron, Dracula, A werewolf, a mummy, Merlin, Morgan La Fey, The Abominable Snowman, and The Canterville Ghost.

This series is unrelated to the Ghostbusters film of 1984, but Columbia Pictures did pay Filmation a significant fee to license the use of the name. It’s worth noting that Filmation wasn’t allowed to produce an animated series based on the film so they proceeded to create their own animated series based on their original The Ghost Busters show. Ghostbusters (later referred to as Filmation’s Ghostbusters) premiered in 1986, ran for 65 episodes and is the primary reason why the movie adaption adopted the “The Real” in The Real Ghostbusters. Filmation’s animated series served as a sequel to the original series and followed the fantastical adventures of Kong and Spencer’s sons who were joined by Tracy the gorilla.
