This is a pleasant and unexpected surprise. While I’ve been working on 28 year old Ghostbusters II food campaigns (Ecto-Containment Tag) Netflix (US) has added 5 seasons of The Real Ghostbusters to stream for at least US, CA, UK, and AUS subscribers.

The Real Ghostbusters ran for 7 seasons on both Saturday mornings and usually weekly syndication between 1986-1991. I’m not sure why for example Netflix has 78 episodes under season 1. Also for example there season 3 begins with Flip Side, which should be the beginning of season 4.

If you live in a country where The Real Ghostbusters can also be streamed through Netflix, please let me know.

Thanks to ghosthead Rolando at Ghostbusters Mexico, The Real Ghostbusters is steaming through Netflix in Mexico and Latin America. (Ghostbusters Mexico)

Episode Review: Ain’t NASA-sarily So

This week officially marked the 50th anniversary of Star Trek. The iconic science fiction show was entering adulthood when The Real Ghostbusters was still in its infancy. Thirty years later, The Real Ghostbusters is pretty much as beloved as Star Trek.

On November 17, 1987 episode 24, Ain’t NASA-sarily So aired. Written by Craig Miller and Mark Nelson, it directly referenced Star Trek in fun ways.

Unless you were already a Trekkie/Trekker or knew someone in your family, most the references went out into space. That was the certainly the case of me, as I was 9 years old. I was probably aware of Star Trek, I knew very little about it. It would be about a year or so before I would have watched a Star Trek movie. It wouldn’t be until 1993 where I was able to watch my first complete Star Trek series on a weekly basis. I was well into adulthood when I watched the original series in order.

Episode Review: Captain Steel Saves The Day

With two of 2016 major superhero blockbusters at theaters back in March (when this episode review would have been a little more current) and right now with a different captain. Along with another Free Comic Book Day in a bag I knew this had to be the week to watch and review The Real Ghostbusters second season episode, Captain Steel Saves The Day.

Through paranormal means, Ray’s favorite comic book character, Captain Steel, comes to life, and crosses paths with the Ghostbusters. When the evil Doctor Destructo also comes to life, a hero team-up may be the only way to save the world.

As always reviewing episodes can be very time consuming. I really enjoyed rewatching Captain Steel Saves The Day and had as much fun as possible with the review.
