September 8, 1986 – December 5, 1986
Ghostbusters (later called Filmation's Ghostbusters) is a 1986 American animated television series created by Filmation and distributed by Tribune Entertainment, serving as the sequel to Filmation's 1975 live-action television show The Ghost Busters.
It is not to be confused with Columbia Pictures' 1984 film Ghostbusters or that film's subsequent animated television show The Real Ghostbusters, which premiered five days later. When making their film, Columbia Pictures needed to obtain rights to use the name from Filmation.
The success of Columbia's (unrelated) film spurred Filmation to resurrect their own property, producing an animated series based on the characters from the earlier TV show. This animated series ran from September 8 to December 5, 1986 in daytime syndication, and produced 65 episodes. The series is technically called simply Ghostbusters, but home video releases used the name Filmation's Ghostbusters to avoid confusion. In the U.S., reruns of the show previously aired on CBN Cable; The Family Channel, Qubo's Qubo Night Owl block from 2010 to 2013; and most recently on the Retro Television Network until 2015.
In the '80s, ABC aired the series in Australia.
The Post Production Sound Services were provided by Horta Editorial & Sound (later folded as Hacienda Post). The Sound Effects were also provided by Todd-AO Studios. Bill Kean, Don Kenney, Jeffrey C. Patch, and Charles Rychwalski both serves as an sound editors. Erika Scheimer serves as a recording director. And Pamela Vincent serves as an recording coordinator.
