I'll buy every single one of em, if that's what it takes to show interest for a season set.

The episode selection is really mixed, though. : /

Volume 1: Night Game and Lost & Foundry are awesome and contain some of the best animation quality the series ever had, but Killerwatt is really ugly looking while Bird of Kildarby is a completely forgettable episode.

Volume 2: A much better disk. Ghostbuster of the Year ranks in my top 5 episodes of all time (Maurice LaMarche doing his Orson Wells impression!), Mr. Sandman Dream Me a Dream is an all-together classic episode with one of the most memorable villains and some really good sight-gags, and Drool the Dog-Faced Goblin is one of the only episodes of the series to actually have a "sad" ending. Revenge of Murray the Mantis, while it features my favorite returning character, Officer Frump, is pretty stupid. A great idea, but some really bad animation. The way they use Stay Puft as their "pet Godzilla" is brilliant and deserved a higher budget.

Volume 3: This is a mostly loser disk. Adventures in Slime & Space has the WORST animation from the early seasons and one of the lamest plots to boot. They Call Me Mister Slimer was a good concept but an utterly forgettable episode with MORE weak animation. Victor the Happy Ghost is okay, but not one of my favorites. The only spotlight is Slimer, Come Home, one of the only really good episodes about Slimer. A good metaphor for cults and mass-suicide, too. But that's the only episode of note on the disk.

And yeah, skipping Knock, Knock and Ragnarok & Roll is a crime. Those are my two favorite episodes! There's always hope for a future volume, though (and maybe a season set if enough fans buy the disks).

Is the Boogie Man going to be on any of these? He was my all time favorite.

*DrSpengler* · 12-20-2005, 12:28 AM

Not including cameos, the Boogeyman only appeared in "The Boogieman Cometh" and "The Bogeyman is Back". Niether of which are included on the first 3 volumes.

I like the backgrounds, but the Ghostbusters-themselves look particularly ugly in 1 and 3. Volume 2 has a good classic shot of them for the cover, though.

It's about damn time.

Of course, I'm WAAAAAY behind on DVD's, and I don't even have Ghostbusters 1 and 2 collection yet.

I really hope there is interrest enough for a season set or something of the sort, butr I'll still manage to get... well... at least one of them.
