Don Bluth once said that he believed children were made of sterner stuff than most adults gave them credit for and that as long as they got a good ending, they could probably deal with the darker things as well. I recently showed my seven year old niece and nephew the first Land Before Time and they enjoyed it. Although they did ask why the T-Rex was hurting other dinosaurs. We explained they were a carnivore, which meant they only ate meat. They seemed to accept this fairly well.

It’s weird that even when it’s being drugged down, real Ghostbusters can do a better response to critics than Teen Titans Go

Buster Jones must've had a blast singing

Animated newscasts were removed because kids got scared thinking they were real...? I... I can't even... The level of network stupidity...

"Topical! Still! FOR SOME REASON!" ...I'm sorry, 2016 Phelous. I'm so sorry...

I love that Peter sliming Slimer sequence, and how Welker delivers the line "Ugh. I have been, like, slimed.". It cracks me up.

14:27 Phelous wearing pointy glasses?? That terrified me so much I hid in another video

I really love how the Boogaloo's song is sort of a dark reprise of "Cleaning up the town" As Garfield would say "nice touch".

Joe Straczynski seems like such a cool guy

I love those interview snippets with JMS. He's got such a brilliant sense of humor that matches the comedic style of Ghostbusters. Just that line alone about "learning whole new ways to become incompetent" in regards to writing song lyrics. Hilarious.

I thought Peter sliming Slimer was funny.

“Taking her to Donald Trump’s place” Boy..... that sure aged..... awkwardly......

"The first rule of fanatics. When you become obsessed with the enemy, you become the enemy." Words that everyone on Tumblr should live by.

The animation in this episode kinda reminds me of "Little Nemo".

Aired exactly 28 years ago, Sunday October 29, 1989.

"When you become obsessed with the enemy, you become the enemy." Something this fanbase might want to keep in mind going forward.

Careful, Phelous! Those glasses make you look... sharp.

JMS is going to Make Peter Venkman Great Again!

Wait if the containment unit is destroyed wouldn't Sam Hain be free?Because if so we would be pissed off at Crowley and the Boogaloo.

Maybe that was just a Stay-Puff cosplayer.

I really love it when you talk about 'The Real Ghostbusters' cartoon. I remember catching a few episodes when I was little, and even though they scared me a little sometimes, I still loved them! It just makes me mad the network actually thought to "dumb down" the cartoon for kids. We liked the show for being EDGY!

With all the Real Ghostbusters videos that you've made so far (which I appreciate since it helped me love Ghostbusters even more), when can we expect a Top 20 dumbest moments episode? Yeah I know most of it will be Q5 material but I think it would be interesting if you could include some from the pre-interference era.

Better ending would have been letting Samhein out of containment to 'deal' with the problem. After all, they did it with Stay-Puft on a few occasions, somehow, as he wasn't even IN the unit. He ended up splattered all over NYC streets. No capture.

My all time favorite RGB episode. This episode alone was why I was so defensive of Dave Coulier's Peter before re-watching your review of the bad episodes.

It would be interesting to find someone involved in the Q5 team to see what their opinion is looking back on how their changes affected the show. Do you think they'd stand by them?

Speaking of parent groups, I can't help but be reminded of the whole PTC vs The Walking Dead debacle. And I don't even watch that show!

I absolutely love how LaMarche is doing proto-Brain voice at 14:03

I really loved this episode. I was bopping to the music number the Ghostbusters put on.

Seriously, why did no one give Culier some proper direction? I mean, he was never gonna replace Lorenzo Music, but I have to think that someone could have gotten a better vocal performance from the guy!

Ghostbusters 2: Ghostly Boogaloo

The Halloween door haves to be one of my most favorite episodes I'm sorry but I actually really love it because it's enjoyable, the songs are good, and the characters actually act the way they supposed to be and the ghosts and monsters are awesome.

Could hear you discuss your favorite shows for days, man. I really like you!

Wait, Crowley was the human? Would not have guessed that one.

It's honestly amazing how much executives belittle children.

16:29 - Everybody betray Phelan! He fed up with this world!

15:16 Actually, Straczynski wrote "Slimer, Is That You", in which Slimer did the same thing, albeit with Egon's mind.

These videos are my favorite! I enjoy the sarcasm and blunt truth you say about the cartoon changes, please upload more!

I remember watching the intro everyday hoping it was one of the original episodes before it was changed to slimer and the real ghostbusters and being upset every time I seen the new intro

Omg... not a scary pointy glasses wearing newscaster!!! That's my biggest fear! *DEAD*

I really dig the animation on the musical number!

Just think, there must be a parallel universe in which the cable of the elevator carrying the Q5 people up to that Ghostbusters meeting snapped and they died horribly, but not before experiencing a few seconds of horror as the elevator screeched down the shaft gaining ever more speed. Why couldn't we have lived in that wonderful universe?

Futurama has ruined me because I'm so familiar with Kath Soucie's voice I can't get around the fact that it's her and not some little kid talking.

Pffft, ironic that with that joke about people offended by literally everything when I've seen at least one person worried Phelous was *Alt-Right* of all things, mostly because he joked about tumblr. Yes, really.

I really wanted this to end with an all out monster attack between Boogaloo and Samhein. You want Halloween? You'll get Halloween!

Man, that animated newscast was _so scary_ cuz it seemed so REAL! Seriously, I shouldn't be surprised at how stupid people can be given the decisions made against this show, but that takes the cake.

Been subscribed for a while, and this is yet another great episode! Good job as always Phelous! :D

A referente to Donald Trump, why not? Kids in the late 80's sure knew who Donald Trump was right?

Your hatred of Dave Coulier Peter Venkman is good and pure. I hated Coulier before I knew who he was for the same reason. Guy peaked with Out of Control.

Peter slimed Slimer! Ha! Now they're even!

16:07-16:23 parallels my opinion of Drake Bell as Spider-Man in _The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes_, except one would have to replace Lorenzo Music's name with Josh Keaton's.

Nice review love the decorations on the couch. Thank you!

Hmm 🤔, I can’t be the only one that didn’t mind the voice changes when I was a kid. I was just happy to be watching Ghostbusters. Hell, I didn’t even notice until reviews on KZfaq like this one. Now that I see that they redubbed Peter’s and Janine’s voices, something I didn’t notice as a kid, I prefer the old voices to the new voices especially in the older episodes before they were redubbed. But I still don’t mind them. I didn’t even realize that Slimer was being used more in the later seasons. Again, I didn’t notice until reviews on KZfaq. I just thought they wanted to change the opening sequence. I did find it annoying that after the song ended in the opening sequence, Slimer came back into frame and said “and me and me”. I rolled my eyes at that every time. I did find The Slimer Show a little annoying. I couldn’t wait til it ended so I could watch more of The Real Ghostbusters since they ran back to back. I watched The Slimer Show but I never liked the character models in The Slimer Show, especially of the four Ghostbusters. What was up with their pretty boy looks and the no ghost logo on their arm...uhm, arms. That annoyed me to no end. I tried watching The Slimer Show recently and I couldn’t do it, it was like torcher. I like how I never noticed the changes apart from the new opening sequence. Since I didn’t notice, it didn’t ruin it for me. Now a days, I notice every little change a show or video game makes and I usually find it annoying.

16:23 That's Kath Soucie, using the same voice that she would use for Lillian DeVille on "Rugrats".

I've taped this episode on vhs.

If the Boogaloo didn't have such a derpy name and voice he'd probably be pretty scary.

I'm definitely going to watch this episode right after this

This is the seminal episode of this show that I remember and watched the most.

love all your vids man please keep it up

“Yuppie larva” I started crying when I heard that

Wait, parents groups? I thought think it was referring to a religious fundamentalist groups, who want to ban Halloween because of it's connection to pre-christian mythos. Still a nice episode. Though I think they ruined Bugaloo a bit by making him "funny". He actually looks legitimately terryfying.

Best damn ghostbuster out there, Phelan is

I'd love to see a feature film adaptation of this episode. It would give more chance for people to see it. Maybe...

And I hate to say this, but even if ABC didn't hire Q5, some of the changes would have still happened (Slimer getting more screentime and Dave Coulier for Lorenzo Music in particular).

it would have been an epic ending if they had used samhain to defeat boogaloo

This is pretty much why I hate that most public schools don't have Halloween celebrations....screw your Harvest Festival....

16:00 But they all live in the firehouse... therefore they all can see their house from their

Do you think, if this episode had gotten a sequel, the villain would have been turned into an electrified version of himself?

If this was the real world, Crowley here would be president of the US.

The Real Ghostbusters has a pretty fantastic intro!

To be fair the whole internet is prime offend territory

5:16 I suppose that comeback was "FIVE YEARS IN THE MAKING".

You deserve more views/Subs

I like this episode. And buster jones also voiced blaster from transformers so doesn't surprise me on the solos he did

You seem to have forgotten the musical number in Banshee Bake a Cherry Pie? I'd love to see that episode reviewed since it's actually proof that the "Good episodes" had some shit in them just as well. And my favorite is Standing Room Only which doesn't put too much focus on Slimer and Venkman is more the money-grrubing lazy ass he was in the movie.

love your vids man, bustin makes us feel good

The idea of learning about Halloween is a neat idea 🥳😎 Wait as in ELECTRIC boogaloo?

14:28 OH DEAR GOD! GIVE ME A WARNING NEXT TIME! YOU ALMOST GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK! YOU KNOW HOW SCARY POINTED GLASSES ARE!

Slimmin' down I see! Good for you. :)

Ahh pointy glasses!

Boogoolo was so epic to me when I was a child. I made lots of bad drawings from him. My favourite episodes: ''Stop that hears'' about ecto being a man eating car. ''Halloween Door'' Because boogolo , and the episode is wayyy more graphic than almost any other episode. I forgot which the episode is called, but its where they go into space, and some huge green monster is eating everyones soul, I remember it was also very scary for me when i was young bc ppl actually got killed(no spoilers).

I choose to believe this special inspired the scene in Castlevania with Blue Fangs in the church

9:37 You might say Winston was the driving force behind the song.

Boogaloo is an amazing monster.

Okay so the chairman from that parent group saying "It's fantasy, bad for kids" sounds a lot like something out of a Jehovah's Witness' mouth haha

Sweet. Watching before it broke 100 views.

4:46 Truer words were never spoken.

"Slimer and the Real Ghostbusters" would be like "Snarf and the ThunderCats" "Orko and He-Man" "The Great Gazoo and the Flintstones" "Scrappy and Scooby Doo" "Robin and Batman"

"Hometown Hero", about Ray, would like a word, Mr. No Musical Numbers...

13:38 "Stay Puft what are you doin here?"

Was expecting a review of the atrocious Halloween ii and a half today!

given the popularity of this speical its a crying shame that they could not reboot the Real Ghostbusters! series for a primetime family viewing slot to keep everyone happy.

Weeeeell to be fair they didn't CROSS the streams in this episode (as in having the streams overlap), they JOINED the streams end to end! Completely different!

I never really thought of giving any of the ghostbusters cartoons a try, but enough Phelous reviews has convinced me. Also, tho Lorenzo Music's voice is almost too silly to play a human (esp one played by Bill Murray), he was a demigod of intonation which is more important to me.

07:08 Could someone explain the Ashens' Joke to me please? 09:05 They crossed the streams! D: 10:55 I wonder what Sammy did to those ghosts that tried to end Halloween when they got put in Containment? I bet it wasn't pretty. X_x 14:35 Someone explain the pointed glasses joke please?

Nice

The only Straczynski episode I haven't seen is "The Ghostbusters! Live, from Al Capone's Tomb!". Wonder if that one is any good?

4:29 this is hilarious!

Phelan said He wanted to have non-Peter lines, even though there's one already before the Garfield cameo at 8:13

According to Broadcasting Magazine (November 6, 1989), this special pulled in a 7.6/12 share, 74 out of 84 shows. www.americanradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Business/Magazines/Archive-BC-IDX/89-OCR/BC-1989-11-06-OCR-Page-0010.pdf#search=%22slimer%22

Huh, I don't recall seeing this episode, I should check how far did the Hungarian dub go.
