The Real Ghostbusters, Volume 3

After waiting patiently, Time Life has finally been putting out the single volume releases of The Real Ghostbusters cartoons. And I must say, It's about time. On to the review...There are 5 discs to volume 3 for a total of 31 episodes. The series picks up the rest of the Syndicated season and continues through the 2nd and 3rd original seasons. There are 15 on-camera introductions from the episode writers which are very short, but done well given that each episode are their own. Each episode is exactly like it was when it was aired, each with the logo talking, "The Real Ghostbusters will return after these messages." I'm very happy Time Life kept that in...The overall picture quality is very good and to be expected of a 20 year old cartoon. It says on the back of the box that they are remastered, and I don't think they could look any better than they are presented in this collection unless Time Life decides to put them on Blu-Ray. I honestly think that won't happen. You never know though...The sound quality is also very good. It is presented in Dobly Digital 2.0 if I'm not mistaken. Each episode has its distinct feel of eeriness, and that's one of the reasons why this show still holds up today. Within season 3, (at least I think it is season 3), the voice of Peter Venkman changes from The Great Lorenzo Music,(the voice of Garfield), to Dave Coulier, (Joey from Full House). It is a noticeable change for those who preferred Lorenzo better. That is not to say the show isn't good without him. I myself still prefer Lorenzo over Dave. To each his own though...As for special features, there is an image gallery for the characters, an image gallery for their equipment, 5 isolated music and effects tracks for specific episodes, 5 on-camera Visual Commentary tracks with the writes and artists for specified episodes, and a special episode long documentary entitled, "Who You Gonna Call? The Heroes of The Real Ghosbusters." A very good supplemental package.In closing, this is a very good dvd set of a very good show. If you were hesitant to pick up the Time Life Set of all volumes, (like I was), you will find that these individual sets are cheaper in the long run. You may have to wait a bit longer for the last 2 volumes, but I find it is well worth waiting for. Hope this review helped out.

If you want to watch this classic, you are probably going to call me! I am slowly purchasing all of these episodes so I have the complete collection for viewing any time. My kids love it, and it is very nostalgic for me to watch with them.

I've got 3 of the "Real Ghostbusters" DVD's and the quality on all is rather dated. It was the 80's what do you expect? Dated video and audio quality aside, the show is still good and my young son really enjoys watching it. I just wish there was an episode with the Staypuft Marshmallow man on the DVD (Disc 1). The cover has a picture featuring Staypuft, but there are no episodes on the DVD that feature him. That disappointment aside, still a good DVD with 11 or 12 episodes.

Oh the Memories! Loved the show as a child and not much has changed! The show has some of the best writers I the Business including pre Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski! This season includes the return or both the Bogeyman and Samhain! I also love the episode where the Ghostbusters are brought to an alternate reality version of New York called Boo York and have to face off against the People busters (Basically ghost like version of themselves).An excellent set for anyone who loved the show as a child. My only complaint is the fact that the box mentions that the episodes are digitally remastered which in my opinion is clearly false. There is tons of artifacts and color loss within the episodes; however this doesn't change the fact that it's an awesome show and highly recommended!

It came a little late but it came 4 stars cause it came late 20 days that's not cool but thanks! My kids are enjoy the movie smh again plus this DVD doesn't look like no volume 3 I have volume 1 and it has the same episodes as volume 1 was up with that?

For whatever reason, a lot of adults watch cartoons that are aimed at children. I think part of the reason is that sometimes cartoons are only nominally aimed at kids. That was certainly the case when The Real Ghostbusters started. It was more or less, a continuation of the movies, albeit with the characters changed a little. Peter Venkmen was more of a slacker than an out and out lech, though he still was drawn to any female on the show, while Ray had more of a childlike quality than in the movie. Egon didn't have all that much of a personality in the movie, being played rather drily by Harold Ramis, but comes out of his shell on the show. And Winston, though played very well by Ernie Hudson in the movie, didn't have much of a role - here in the show, his character really did become a true, full fledged Ghostbuster.Unfortunately, not everything can last. They made a lot of these shows, going into syndication almost immediately and the quality suffered towards the tail end (which are the shows here). Sure, they are funny, but not as clever as the ones earlier on.But worst, at the start of Season 3, there was a shift in the show - apparently the TV execs didn't think it was aimed at children enough, so they revamped the style somewhat. Unfortunately, this resulted in a very dull show. They also made some changes with the voice actors - Lorenzo Music, famous for being the voice of Garfield, was replaced because Bill Murray thought he sounded too much like Garfield, and not him (only to voice Garfield himself later). His replacement was Dave Coolier, who tries to impersonate Bill Murray but comes off just as a buffoon. Jeanine was also replaced, then finally Aresenio Hall was replaced by Buster Jones, who did an okay job, but by then, the magic had left the show entirely. It would last a couple more seasons, including a try at a longer format with Slimer as the main character, but the show is basically no longer worth watching halfway into this set.

A must for any The Real Ghostbusters fan! Straight out of the blockbuster movie with new uniforms and new faces (and a ghost for a friend) the fab four get more calls about problem ghosts and solve even more ghostly problems outside their usual job. Look out for familiar faces including Samhain, The Bogeyman and The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man!

I am happy with the DVD's they are good to watch. I will watch them again and again. I loved the real ghostbusters when I was a kid, It is nice to watch the series again.

La calidad del video no es muy buena y me hubiera gustado que se tradujera a español. Pero creo que vale mucho la pena la compra y no se consigue facilmente, a mi hijo le ha encantado.

It's awesome
