I remember watching this show on Saturday mornings and I think it rocked (I was 4 at the time). Spenser, Tracy and Kong the Ghost Busters (known here in Mexico as 'Los Cazadores de Fantasmas' fighting all kinds of specters, ghouls and critters with their feared 'ghost de-materializer'.
As a kid I saw a couple episodes of the cartoon, but never knew there was a live action version, when I found that out I watched it on YouTube where you can find all the episodes.The comedy in this is very strange, they do this one file cabinet gag like every other episode, and I dont think it always works but for what doesn't work there are 5 things that do, this show is ridiculous, why does the gorilla have a bottomless bag?
I remember fondly, this show on Saturday mornings. I even remember part of the theme song: "...
'Fraid the other comment has it all wrong. This was not a cartoon, but a live action Saturday morning program.
I just read someone else's comments about this show and apparently they were confused. THIS SHOW WAS NOT A CARTOON, IT WAS A LIVE ACTION SERIES.
At the success of the movie "Ghost Busters", they remade this crud of a premise into a cartoon, forcing the MOVIE version of the cartoon to call themselves "The REAL Ghost Busters"... Reitman actually had a really hard time licensing the name from these guys, they actually shot a huge scene of 300 NY extras chanting "Ghost Busters" before the had the rights.
The 1975 show of Ghostbusters ("The Original Ghostbusters") was an entertaining diversion for young children. Silly, in the campy style of the live-action Batman and other shows of the time, but the interaction between the old F-Troop chums did an admirable job of making up for the (serious, real serious) lack of plot.
I wasn't a kid when this aired ... I was in my 20s, and recognized it as the hippest kids TV around.
Back in the 1970s, this hilarious show aired. It starred Larry Storch and Forest Tucker of F-Troop fame.
