Ghostbusters in box sets..just not that one!
 

In an attempt to add insult to injury, Ghostbusters box sets will be released. I'd be psyched, not depressed about it, but they aren't the REAL Ghostbusters...

Entertainment rights in conjunction with Filmation have put Ghostbusters the animated series and The 1970's live action series into box sets.

Columbia... you have some splainin' to do! :tthumbsd:

Yep, I read about this quite some time ago. The first Set is due out at the end of the month infact (Feb. 27th).
And, though it's not the "Real Ghostbusters" as you're thinking, it is the real (as-in original) Ghostbusters, since (as you've even noted), the 'toon is based off a '70s series. :)

Yeah, the animated version is oming out, and I knew about that for a while. I think the just announced the live action version today.

I really wish Dan Akroyd kept his original title, and called it "Ghost Smashers" to avoid the confusion. Just wish Sony would release box sets too.... maybe if Ghostbusters:Hellbent works out.

Yeah, think the actual release date for the Live Action Ghost Busters was just announced, though had seen news of it "coming in Spring 2007" back when saw news of the Animated Series' release (which, back then, was also a basic 'season of the year' notation).

And right, would like to see RGB (as well as EGB) get put out in DVD Sets.

With Ninja Turtles having been released the last 3 years, all I need is some Real Ghostbusters and my cartoon nostalgia would be one step closer to completion. Now someone just has to dig up the Dinosaucers.

I'm almost tempted to find some way to watch the live action series without paying for it. I'd seen the cartoon, and hated it, but never seen the original live action show from the 70's.

Still not willing to pay for it, but it is something I'm curious about.

Ah, yes. Another I would also like to see get DVD treatment.

--- Ankylo: "The Dinosaucers are leaving, boss-osaur"
Genghis Rex: "Well... follow them!!"---

Always got a kick out of that piece from the opening theme. :)

If it hadn't been said that they are doing mo-cap for it, I'd be more hopeful. :ohwell: Ghostbusters will look like toddlertainment in mo-crap.

When I was four years old it was Ninja Turtles and dinosaurs. Dinosaucers was one of the most awesome things that could possibly be on TV for me. Too bad it didn't really catch on.

Here's a site at least.

Lol I am not paying 1 cent to the fake ghostbusters. I want real ghostbuster and Extreme Ghostbusters in boxset and i will pay money for that.

Speaking of movies and shows about people fighting the paranormal, I've heard that Lionsgate will finally release Monster Squad on DVD. About damn time someone did. It's the Goonies combined with Universal movie monsters to make an awesome film.

It looks like this year, the wolfman will indeed have nards.

Man everything is going to DVD now. About time I say. Even though I don't watch these shows.

Not that I would get the X-men or Spider-man sets if they had them but it would be cool to see those get DVD treatment as well. I don't see why Marvel slacks off on that where DC gives their cartoons sets.

I think the rights to the 90's Marvel cartoons are tied up with Disney or something like that.

X-Men Evolution is all available on DVD I think. That cartoon was pretty awesome. Got a lot better after season one.

Well, Disney was able to get the Fantastic Four cartoon out on DVD, so perhaps the rights issues are all worked out.

More than likely, the problem is Disney not caring to put the shows on DVD, like they have with most of their not-classic-Disney library (where are my Digimon season sets? My Power Rangers season sets? My Transformers: Robots in Disguise series set in Region 1? Etc.).

sure they have spiderman episodes of the old 90's foxkid cartoon on dvd. not good enough.

Yeah, tons of shows are getting released on DVD. But still have loads of others that haven't been (or, at the least, in a decent way).


For the shows mentioned, DrSpengler. Yes, would be great to have those too. Heck a large amount of Transformers series have gotten full-release on DVD here (from the '80s Classic Series, to Beast Wars, and Beast Machines. As well as Armada -- all having their whole series out, in varying number of boxsets).


And right, to other postings, would also be great having the Marvel toons released in Sets. Along with the '90s X-Men and Spider-Man. Would add Iron Man to the list (since FF is already out, and the shows aired together).

Well unlike some I actually liked Filmation's Ghostbusters and plan to get the boxset when it comes out.

I liked Scared-Stiff. I wanted that action figure sooo bad... The show was really educational for me too. Before the ep where they go to the south pole, I thought the world got progressively hotter the further south you go. :ohwell: Come on. I was only six!

Im so buying this show. It was one of my favorites when I was a kid.

Toon Zone has a rather scathing review about it, but then they don't really say "why" the episodes were bad, where as they always point out to the strengths of the 1980's series they love when reviewing them (it's the same case with their bats*it rubbish reviews for Ducktales and Tailspin, two reviews that earned them the biggest flaming on their forums ever).

But that aside, pick it up, the show is'nt TRG, but what the heck is? It's an otherwise enjoyable little history lesson in copyright wars, and Prime Evil is a very underrated character, it does'nt even try to emulate TRG and has it's own way of doing things.

Yeah, no kidding!! Toon Zone's reviews (as well as TV Shows On DVD's at times) have to be taken with a *dose* of salt (not just a grain). TZ tends to have 'nasty' reviews on alot of the show/movie DVDs they review.

Yeah. There only NOW praising all of these older series (with obviously still a few exceptions) only because of the criticism they received for what they did'nt cover, their bias towards WB and anime, and for bashing arguably two of the most definitive Disney cartoons ever, shows that not even their favourate sex doll Kim Possible can duplicate.

Not that there all bad, as I've said before, there's a lot about them I like, but just as much I hate. Their coverage of the bootleg Spiral Zone DVD collection (a first for them, as they had only reviewed licensed DVDs) was a step in the right direction and the first time they've remembered there animation fans, not corporate sponsors.

We'll see where they go, but right now they still need to learn how to approach a DVD review negativly in a professional way, which they seemingly can manage with anything they actually like.

Right, they have some decent reviews. But, as you say, still have a ways to go with how they do reviewing in-general.

As for the Spiral Zone review, I just figured they did it as there was some legality to it (with a person that worked on the series helping out with the DVD). But whatever the case, would be nice to have the series -actually- put out on DVD (like all the other shows that have been getting released in recent times).

Personally, I'm just more upset with Entertainment rights not releasing more Fat Albert DVD sets, myself. Or even having the ones they do have released better. I'm still looking for both "Season" sets with the bonus music CDs.

But I will say, Mozel Tov to the fans of this particular series. I was tempted years back to get a discount Filmation Ghostbusters VHS, but I wouldn't spend anything trying to get this one.
