Trivia:
In 1988, the start of the fourth season, the series was part of a one-hour block of Ghostbusters cartoons (it was joined with the newly created "Slimer!" series) known as "Slimer! And The Real Ghostbusters." This title would stick with the series to its very end (season seven in 1991). The title change also rippled through the marketing of the show in toys, cereal, and Ecto-Cooler Hi-C drink. All of these products changed their logos from "The Real Ghostbusters" to "Slimer & The Real Ghostbusters". more

I really enjoyed this as a child so I certainly hope that they'll keep on trying to push these cartoons on kids instead of what they're watching now. I had hoped that it could have stayed a little longer than 1991 but there's no use in trying to change something like this. Thank goodness for Teletoon's brief but short reintroduction of this classic cartoon otherwise I wouldn't have gotten to see what is perhaps the greatest cartoon ever imagined. :) Kids need to see cartoons of the magnitude otherwise they may be completely lost in all of these newer, and dumber, cartoons that these merchandaising companies are trying to push on kids these days.
