There's something off-key at the opera and it isn't the diva. It's the Valkyries a ghostly troop of nordic women on horses galloping through the theatre aisles and kicking up quite an ectoplasmic fuss. It is up to the "Real Ghostbusters" to save the opera from these sword-swinging spirits "Fright at the Opera."System Requirements:Running Time: 25 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: ANIMATION/ADULT SWIM Rating: NR UPC: 043396137998 Manufacturer No: 13799

Ok,I know that buying this the studio will see if customers are interested in the show but the Sony should make an effort and bring Complete Seasons sets.Fans will buy more sets even if prize is higher.This Dvd has many flaws.No commentary,special features.Image quality is bad in some episodes.But has CC and I have bought similar Dvds with 2,3 o 4 eps that hasn't any(cheap transfer and unknown studios)that hasn't any and had a higher prize.

"Slimer, I bought us some doughnuts"

Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2007

The "Real Ghostbusters" DVD releases have been controversial among longtime fans of the show because they are not season boxed sets and contain only one or two of what are considered the best episodes of the series. Some fans have theorized that the best way to increase the likelihood of boxed set releases is to purchase the DVDs that are already out. What of the episodes themselves?

Perhaps surprisingly, "Slimefighters" is the best of the three currently available "Real Ghostbusters" DVDs. While many fans of the show feel that the increased emphasis on Slimer as the series went on resulted in its becoming too childish in tone, in the early seasons Slimer's uniqueness as a character challenged the writers to come up with especially imaginative storylines for him. As a result, "Slimefighters" is a stronger collection of four episodes than either of the other DVDs.

"Adventures in Slime and Space" gets the DVD off to a slightly weak start. While David Gerrold's script is enjoyable, it is far too obviously nothing more than a riff on two famous fantasy/SF scripts of the past, one of them written by Gerrold himself. (I do like Venkman's disgust at the thought of moving to France, and the running "Pittsburgh" joke.)

"They Call Me MISTER Slimer" is a better episode, but suffers somewhat from sidelining the regulars other than Slimer in favor of a boring guest character. In episodic television, whether animated or not, writers need to keep in mind that viewers' primary interest is in the regular characters. However, the use of barrow-wights is a good example of RGB's regular use of themes from folklore and traditions about the paranormal, and Ray understanding Slimer because he watched "Lassie" movies as a kid raises a smile.

With the final two episodes on this DVD, we enter classic RGB territory. "Victor the Happy Ghost" manages to take an extremely cliched premise (the naughty child who makes his better-behaved sibling look responsible for his own mischief) and revitalize it by having two ghosts as the "siblings". The sequence of Slimer being tricked into one of the ghost traps by Victor and nearly placed in the Containment Unit must have been especially terrifying and memorable for children who saw the episode when it first aired, and Janine's role in the denouement epitomizes her depiction in the early seasons of RGB as an extremely strong character in her own right. The episode's opening sequence is set at the Hayden Planetarium, also the setting for the climax of Sholly Fisch's original novel, "Ghostbusters: The Return".

"Slimer Come Home", written by Story Editor J. Michael Straczynski, is one of the two or three best RGB episodes available on DVD. The characterizations of all six regulars are perfect, and Slimer's self-exile is quite touching. The story conveys an extremely important message to children: that their families love them no matter how badly they behave, and that they shouldn't run away from home just because their parents might be angry about something. One can see how fully Straczynski had gotten into the groove of adapting the "Ghostbusters" concept to the environment of Saturday morning television without compromising its essence. After the voice roles of Janine and Peter were recast, "Slimer Come Home" was redubbed with the new voices; the version on this DVD, however, is the original, featuring Laura Summer as Janine and the late, great Lorenzo Music as Peter.

The animation quality of all four of these episodes tends to be higher than average for this series, perhaps because of their focus on the non-human character of Slimer. (As animators have known since at least the 1930s, normal adult humans are far harder to animate than animals or fantastic creatures, which is why so few American cartoon shows feature adult human main characters, as RGB does.) If you're only going to buy or rent one "Real Ghostbusters" DVD, make it "Slimefighters", even if you don't think you like Slimer.

Please release them all

Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2006

Whereas I applaud the release of Ghostbusters in any form (the show lasted for SIX YEARS after all, thats a lot of fans), I wish the person who picked the episodes to be the first to be released had exercised a little more thought. All 3 DVDs follow the pattern of 1 ep from the ABC 1st season, and 3 eps from the syndicated 1st first season. The problem is that the syndicated eps, albiet there being about 3 times as many to choose from, are of drastically lower quality in both animation and storytelling. Far too many of them are 8 minutes of sparkling entertainment spread out over a half hour. With drab colors to boot. Not to say that they are all bad. A number of episodes were written by the creator of Babylon 5, J Michael Stakzynski, and by the creator of the Star Trek Tribble, David Gerrold. Any episode writtem by these guys is virtual white gold, and these should have been the first to be released, in order to show the general public how good this show was at its best.

A couple by each author does make it onto this first release, so thats so far so good. But even if it is a DVD necessity to include at least 3 syndicated episodes on one DVD, I would implore the people picking the eps to actually WATCH the eps first, for "Murray the Mantis," "Drool the DOg Faced GOblin" "Lost and FOundry" etc are C+ AT BEST, and there are plenty more syndicated eps not worthy to housetrain a dog with. But on the OTHER hand, "Cabinet of Calamari," "No one goes to Lupisville," "Knock Knock" "Collect Call of the Cthulu" are A+, and they can do a LOT worse than to release those.

In fact jsut release the show by season. Almost everything in the ABC 1st season is an A or better, and thank god that we got three of those episodes here with these 3 DVDs, (but once again "Killerwatt" wouldnt have been my first choice when there were so many better options such as "Citizen Ghost" and "When Halloween Was Forever," both written by, you know who, J Micheal Straczynski).

Make a THEMED DVD for next Halloween

When Halloween Was Forever from Season 1

Halloween 2 1/2 from Season 2

The Halloween Door from Season 4

and then surprise us, something like "Flip Side" to round it out (where the ghostbusters land in an alternate dimension where ghosts rule and people are thrown into containment units), or the Lupisville ep, where a town of werewolfs is at war with invading Vampires. A+ stuff, and EXACTLY what would get these DVDs to fly off the shelves. Tour the ghostbuster message boards for more suggestions.
