Everything a fan could want, and some other things too!

The Real Ghostbusters was to many kids and adults the pinnacle of 1980's television cartoons. With usually impressive animation and the winning combination of horror, comedy and action-adventure that the made original movie a classic, "The Real Ghostbusters" flew in the face of standard Saturday morning shows.

Although the quality dropped with the third network season re-branding to: "Slimer and the Real Ghostbusters," the set doesn't leave anything out, for better or worse, even including Slimer's solo animated shorts which originally played between normal episodes during the show's final seasons.

Still, thanks to its lengthy syndicated run which operated free of network control, the majority of the set contains quality entertainment that still entertains today.

The episodes aren't all you get, with several episode commentaries from writers, directors and artists and several making-of features and extended interviews. For the true die-hard fan all of the background trivia is a real treat. A full-color episode guide book is included to help manage the 134 episodes and 13 Slimer shorts and contains additional bits of trivia.

At its worst, The Real Ghostbusters is a decent cartoon with too much focus on Slimer to the point of making the character extremely annoying. However, when the show is at its best it's the best written and produced cartoon of its time with mature writing that doesn't talk down to its younger viewers.

There is nothing more I could ask for short of a complete remastering which is unlikely to happen with a cartoon of this age and length. If you are a fan of The Real Ghostbusters, this is the total package.

Fantastic!

Unlike most DVD collections for old shows, the quality of this one is excellent. It's plainly obvious that this was designed with the fans in mind by people who understand and cherish the franchise.

The overall case is made of extra thick cardboard with a matte feel to it. The case is designed to look like the firehouse and they even took the care to make all the little windows glossy so they reflect a small bit of light. The case also includes two good quality holographics of Slimer and the ghostbuster logo.

Inside there is a thick booklet that divides all of the episodes by season with production numbers, air dates, episode descriptions, and trivia about the episode.

The actual discs are fantastic too! Each season comes in a standard DVD disc case which is clear. The reverse side of the cover art (seen through the clear case from the inside) has copies of the blueprints for the designs of various props from the movies, such as the PKE meter. The menus for each disc are well designed and animated. Most of the special features I have seen include a short message from a voice actor or director who gives a little nuance or trivia about the episode. And if you remember watching these on television, the commercial breaks with the trademark ghost sleeping or trying to escape from the logo are still in place. The only thing its missing are the actual commercials for Micro Machines or those $1.99 a minute hotlines to hear kid's stories from the white dragon. :)

Bottom line. I've purchased other complete DVD sets for old shows and it was obvious they were burned in a sweatshop on an old personal computer. Various episodes would inexplicably skip or the menus were barely serviceable. This is NOT the case with this collection. The quality is outstanding!

Everything I wanted, flaws and all

LOVED this series as a kid and have waited a long time for it. Got this set when I first saw it, and was lucky enough to get it from Amazon at 50% off. Worth it? Oh, yeah!

Now, when I say I loved this, what I loved was The Real Ghostbusters, not Slimer and the Real Ghostbusters, and certainly NOT Slimer. I remember the show changing, but had no idea at the time what was going on or why. This boxed set collects everything (or at least, everything that I remember) and PLENTY that I don't. The cool thing is that I can see the transition of the show as it went from prime time to kiddy time. The commentary by the actors, writers, and staff really help to illuminate a bit what those folks felt was going on. And just watching the episodes is tale enough.

One of the reasons that I loved TRG so much was that it wasn't a kid show, at least, not at first. The jokes were deadpan, dry, and what kiddy humor was there was exercised more in the situations or in the ghosts (yup, Slimer was the ectoplasmic bugger joke). The series, of course, changed, but with all the episodes you can really SEE it. That's just cool.

There were plenty of mysteries in the show for me as a kid. I remember when Janine changed, not just her voice but her look. WHAT happened? Well, you get the actual skinny from the folks, but IN the series you actually get an episode that not only recognizes the change but makes it WORK! How cool is that? Even with the whole series in my hands (and now completely watched over the past few weeks), there are still a few mysteries to go with all the nostalgia (Sandman! Samhein! Boogeyman!), pleasant surprises (The return of ghosts! Continuity between episodes! Great references to the movie!), and great discoveries(authentic Japanese language when the Ghostbusters go to Japan!)--like, did anyone else notice the Japanese on the technical drawings?

For people that enjoyed this series, I highly recommend this set. Just seeing it all again brought back so much, and seeing the people behind it bravely keeping the show going as best as they could gives the show an added humanity that, as a kid, I could only really see in the episodes that changed.

Now, details of the disks. Almost every episode has special features of some kind. Some are odd (everything but dialogue) and some got the royal treatment (commentaries both pre and during). No subtitles anywhere, but I didn't expect them. The video is good--at least, as good as I remember it being on my ratty TV. The sound is also nice (interesting to see how the music changed as they left prime time). Note, however, that there was some music slowdown in the first disk of my volume 3 or 4 (can't remember which). Dialogue is completely unaffected, but all of the music is slowed, as are the intro and end animations, but the epsidoes themselves are fine (music during the episodes are slowed too, though). The cases are metal, and I'm concerned about scratching (DEFINITELY keeping these!). The box is solid. The booklet has lots of great trivia. The bonus disk gives fans even MORE time with the cast and staff of the show--excellent.

I highly recommend this collection for old fans. I'm sure there's plenty here to make new fans as well! Enjoy!

I grew up watching these cartoons and I'm so glad I found again . They were a little more expensive than I wanted to pay, but I got a gift card from family and I could not think of anything else to buy. If you have extra money, loved the show, and are thinking about buying this then please do so and enjoy them as much as I do. The extras are also amazing, I found myself watching the extras and learned more tid-bits about the "Ghostbuster lore" and I was really pleased.

Great Find.

Arrived quickly excellent quality. Be warned the voice actor does change for both Peter and Jeneane part way through season three and in my honest opinion they made a poor choice in picking the replacement voice for Peter as he no longer sounds right. Jeneane also softens in character over the seasons which I personally feel was a mistake as she is definitely awesome in the first two seasons.

That aside this is the only complete collection available is region free despite what it says in the description and the box is fantastically designed. Really enjoying watching this as an adult, definitely not suitable for very young children though! A few of the episodes are really quite creepy.

As previous reviews have stated this is a region free DVD. works in my TVs built in DVD player, Uk XBOX 360 and my region free DVD player (Obviously).
A Cracking Set, for any retro cartoon fan or Ghostbusters fan. includes all the Episodes ever made of The Real Ghostbuster and all the Slimer shorts that were introduced in later seasons. also included are some great behind the scenes bonus material as well as audio commentary for most episodes. Also included is a complete episode guide to say which season which episode belong in with a quick synopsis of the episode. And the extra cherry on top is the inclusion of a Bonus DVD which has the original un-aired piolt/pitch episode as well as some other cool content.
This all comes in a rather neat 'fire house' box with little details here and there and 2 hologram stickers.
One slight down side being that the original run of this boxset had metal cases inside to hold each season, but these are now plastic dvd Cases. No Biggie though.
Overall a great product, and i can personally say it is the best dvd/Boxset i have in my collection.
A must have for GB fans!
