That smug face in the thumbnail.
You know he's all like: "Nope. Still not reviewing the shitty reboot."
Easy decision too
Well, after all that shit he was given, I'm not surprised.
Which reboot? "Extreme Ghostbusters"?
No, the 2016 movie.
Ah I see, thanks for the heads up.
I like how James doesn't even acknowledge the new film and says there could have been a third
The video game *is* the third film.
It is a reboot after all.
Why would he?
Trust me, the new film wasn't funny.
+Henry Stanley I count it as the third film too.
2 years ago I was babysitting a 4 year old kid every day. He was only watching Netflix stuff like Barbie or Mickey. When he started losing interest after a few days, I put some of my own cartoons a.k.a. the Real Ghostbusters. And then I realized, it had material to scare the kids shitless. The episode which I played had a terrifying boogeyman in the closet of a kid. I panicked and wanted to turn it off, but this time the kid cried and wanted me to keep it on.
Yeah, cartoons back in the day,
Efe Aydal I recently researched myself. I forgot how creepy it was. No softies back in the day bro lmao.
Try kid's movies. The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth were nightmarish.
That boogieman was one of my favorite ghosts as a kid. I think I liked him because it was so damn creepy I never thought any cartoon could be that freaky. Probably why I loved it and wished they made him into a toy.
planescaped only reason I watched it was for David Bowie
He was watching barbie?
He has a "progressive" family, I see
I couldn’t get over how incredible the animation is. They run 80s cartoons on Saturdays and was shocked at how well it stood up.
"Columbia instead went with DIC."
He kept a straight face... lol
I always got a got giggle when I was younger when the DIC logo and call out came on tv.
+Ben Cramer it was so weird and funny hearing that little kid say "Deek"
LOL
Barely.... You could see the strain when he said it haha
Play Nintendo foos
I was waiting for him to laugh
James Rolfe is still the king!
👍👍👍 you sir deserve a W
Even Furries like AVGN
^
Eh, not really
I thought Mike was the king (Board James reference :D)
I like how the name "the real ghost busters" is more appropriate than ever now
This comment made my day.
Sounds about right
I felt that burn.
After that reboot,yep
Yes
Honestly, I love what they did to Winston. Gave him more of a personality, it's great. His action-focused and liking for Detective Novels are part of him in my mind.
Still baffled they didn't let Ernie do it
Excpet in the later he became the drive so F you Q5.
I got to agree with James. The series was one of the best cartoons I grew up with when I was young.
Being a little kid back then i had no ideaof the dangers of slimer's shorts. I got sucked into them just like everyone, lol
XeviousD
I manage to watch all of those. Still wish the new Ghostbusters had followed something similar or at least hired better writers but oh well.
It could of been so much worse, but hey we are getting a movie universe so cheers to that, even though sony is just now picking up the pace with others, which isnt good
Who else wants him to do The Extreme Ghostbusters review?
Me
I was wondering the same thing. That's always been the superior series, in my eyes.
I want Extreme on DVD.
please review extreme ghostbusters. would like to know what your thoughts are on it. it has lots of issues, but i thought is was a worthy addition to the franchise.
Extreme was a good show and still holds up for adults. I think I like both shows more as an adult than as a kid. The episode "Back in the Saddle" is really good.
I'd love to go to AVGN's VHS basement and just kick back with a Rollin rock or 12 and overdose on Nostalgia
who else came back here to learn to get the highlights now that this series is on netflix
"Collect call of Chuthulu" is great also I loved this show as a kid until the Slimer part happened and they babified the show because wimpy kids got scared and their parents complained
Do a collab with nerd... On a nes game....
My fav
If halloween was forever
@@psychoticbuzzsaw
Actually as it turns out it's even worse than that.
There were no complaining parents.
A consulting company called Q5 demanded all the changes based on what they claimed kids wanted, but having done no actual research.
Including making Janine's glasses round because they claimed "sharp shapes scare kids".
Who else expected him to say He Man master of the universe instead of Inhumanoids?
J. Michael Straczynski wrote some The Real Ghostbusters episodes. That's how good it was.
He was also story editor, and quit when the "focus groups" started destroying the show.
The head writer (pre "Slimer and") was award winning Joe Michael Straczynski, of Babylon 5 fame. B5 was probably the best written Sci-Fi show with possible exception of Firefly. You can see a lot of his brilliance in the top episodes.
He also wrote for my other favorite 80's kids show, Captain Power
Yeah, even as a 10 year old kid I noticed the significant drop off in quality and stopped watching it completely by the "Slimer" years.
And I had not learned he was behind these shows until well after my favorite show of all time, B5, was done.
***** Story of JMS's life. :(
+Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice I mean, I totally understand why he left. The changes they imposed on the show were abysmal, and I feel like most people with dignity wouldn't have stood for it. At least he tried to rectify some of the changes they made when we wrote a couple of later season episodes.
Don't forget Sense8.
he also sadly wrote a certain Spider Man story that involved a certain deal
CONGLATURATION ! ! !
YOU HAVE COMPLETED
A GREAT CARTOON .
AND PROOVED THE JUSTICE
OF OUR CULTURE .
NOW GO AND REST OUR
HEROES !
Nice reference
Ruby Doomsday underrated comment
Ha!
You should've said "a bad cartoon" because that would make it more accurate since it's a lie
Ruby Doomsday Now, let’s hire Q5 and mess it all up. And get Dave Coulier instead of Lorenzo Music to play Venkman, and Kath Soucie instead of Laura Summer to play Janine, because they won’t know the difference.
Well Murray voiced the live action garfield without reading the script... a script that was written by Joel Cohen, who Murray confused with Joel Coen, of the Coen brothers, and accepted the role, only to regret it later. Now why he thought Coen brothers would write a garfield movie.... well because he is Bill Murray.
QShaque Honestly it would be interesting to see the Cohen Brothers take of Garfield.
Did he sign a two movie deal? Because I always wonder why he did the 2nd movie if he hated it that much.
@@monkeykidd420 it's easy money for Billy. lol
@@NSGhostbusters no, it was a contract.
Lorenzo was dead when they released Garfield.
The action figures by Kenner were some of my favorite toy lines.
wish neca or someone make updated versions of them like they did with predator and other kenner toys.
I remember I had a couple of the fgures that made facial expressions like the hair raising up and eyes popping.
to this day I weep over the loss of my Igon figure.
man those were expensibe amd in time i lost many but i still habe the yellow volswagen that turna into a mantis
Still have my firehouse set some place.
The animation holds up really well.
Just like Mike dick
+bigevilworldwide1 agreed
+bigevilworldwide1 I'm an animator and I approve your analysis.
It's one of the few cartoons from my childhood that I can watch as an adult.
Superior Japanese animation
[5:42] And James Rolfe picked the lines that would be in character for Garfield, too.
_"Satisfying and less filling."_
_"Death by slobber is not a pretty sight."_
_"Can you say "loopy"? Sure you can."_
One of my favorite episodes was the one where they come across fueding towns separated by a river and it turns out one town consist vampires and the other one werewolves. They would constantly turn each other than switch sides over and over again.
that is also called the twilight series 😆
Nobody ever comes to Lupusville. :/
Nice review James! I loved this series as a kid :)
You need to review Extreme Ghostbusters for good measure.
That was a surprisingly good show- and really scary and dark. WAY more than the Real Ghostbusters was.
As decent as the show was...I never got over the idea of a ghostbuster in a wheelchair.
Diversity is fine and all but that shit could get your whole team killed...
And the new movie :)
+Matthew Taylor lol
raped Slime Yeeeah. Wheelchair guy was stretching it a little too far with the diversity thing.
Not as far as the new movie though.
I find it hilariously ironic that the whole reason for recasting Venkman was because they wanted him to sound more like Bill Murray, when Lorenzo sounded more like him than Dave did.
That kind of hurts the Ghostbusters/Garfield connection.
I understood that Bill Murray sort of made an off hand comment that "Egon sounds a lot like Ramis, but my character sounds like Garfield", and Lorenzo was promptly let go.
It was weird for me learning he was replaced early on, when I watched The Real Ghostbusters growing up in the 90s, the episodes were always of the Lorenzo Music Venkman, meaning the network airing it probably had sense when it came to which episodes to show, cause I don't remember seeing any episode being from the later Dave Coulier Venkman and the "Slimer and" run of the show.
Dave sounds like he has a potato stucked in his throat he sounds like shit, not natural at all
I assumed Lorenzo Music had passed away. I guess I should go look it up
It may have already been said, but the episode that I remembered throughout my life that haunted me as a child was the Bermuda Triangle episode. It may not be scary on the whole, but the thought that you could just wander into a parallel universe where everything was ghastly, always stuck with me. I always thought it might happen to my family driving in the car on the highway.
Are you going to review EXTREME ghostbusters
No, he's not extreme enough.
Maybe if he did it in-character as that guy from the Big Rigs commercial the Nerd imagined. Now that fucker was pretty extreme.
Would love to see if he actually watched the series and what he thinks of it.
I liked Extreme Ghostbusters. Not as good as the early seasons of the Real Ghostbusters cartoon, but better than the later "Slimer" seasons. Overall, Extreme is not great, but still good. Good to the point where they should have made a live action film out of Extreme Ghostbusters.
I remember 'Extreme' ghostbusters back 1997, that one season.
Drab imagery, no real story arcs, the characters where a bunch of pc ingrates and after seeing a review of RGB recounting their wild and varied exploits. I've concluded that "Extreme" Ghostbusters should have been called Mediocre Ghostbusters.
+xiaochicash Well, you'd be wrong. Extreme Ghostbusters was great and very well written.
It's interesting that the Boogie Man episode is one that sticks out in a lot of people's minds...
mainly because it was a well written story & the character design of the booieman himself was very scary. Im sure he returned in another episode.
It really does stick out in my mind, but yeah, I'm fairly sure he was a reoccurring villain.
He surprisingly only returned as the main baddy in one other episode.
I agree. It is also interesting that this is seemingly where Disney/Pixar got Monsters Inc.--the concept of a world beyond the closet door.
That episode was op
The episode that I remembered best was when they got involved in a war between werewolves and vampires. It ended with the werewolves turning the vampires into werewolves and the vampires turning the werewolves into vampires. It was the dumbest best thing. It didn't even have ghosts involved.
They also had that episode where they went into the toon dimension where the world followed looney tunes rules. There was a guy that was trapped there for hundreds of years getting hit by an endless supply of pies in the face day in day out. That's scary.
The Boogieman episodes are forever engrained in me. I remember watching this as a kid and genuinely being terrified that he was going to come out of my closet. Another great video from James.
I always always liked James more when he did movie related stuff instead of Avgn or Board James. I seriously think he's the best movie reviewer on youtube and he has encyclopedic knowledge of cult movies, like Tarantino-Level knowledge. I have huge respect for him and as a movie collector myself I'm fascinated by the stuff he knows. And it's all shot in one take. These are in my opinion cinemassacre's best videos.
Any chance of a review on Batman the Animated series?
i wouldnt say so, it doesnt have to be reviewed. the animated series is universally acclaimed and most people who watch him have at least some exposure to it. but id still watch it :p
+Latios he could do a top 10 list of his favorite episodes.
I agree with Latinos. I also think The Nostalgia Critics review did it justice.
James as the AVGN is hilarious and iconic. However, I might just prefer James as himself reviewing other media. He's genuinely charming and informative.
I had forgotten about the quality of this show.
Oddly enough, "Doctor, Doctor" is the episode that most clearly sprang back into my memory. The stuff just taking over their bodies... yeah, that had stuck with me for a while.
Anyway, I guess I'm going to go find a way to rewatch this. But only in bits and pieces. I don't feel like having the theme become a nuisance.

Heeeeeeey, nephew! Read ur comment... Mmmm.... Don't forget to turn the light off in ur room toniiiiiiiight! Too too!
your name and avatar really fit with what was shown in the video too, lmao
he sure does
Lol
My favorite was "The Thing in Mrs. Faversham's Attic". Heartfelt as ALL get-out.
should talk about the extreme ghostbusters that was an epic series sad that they didnt get more then a few seasons that series was epic af
James Rolfe: the most likeable nerd in internet. Kudos James! I forget the last time I saw this series.
"Halloween Was Forever" was my favorite episode when I was a kid. I didn't have the TV channel that showed The Real Ghostbusters, so I only had a few episodes taped to watch over and over again. Great memories from a simpler time.
You forgot collect call from chuthulu was a great episode, at the hp lovecraft filmfest it comes up from us older people
I'm beating a dead horse here... The accusations of sexism after the non-review were so off base. To anyone who's been watching Rolfe's videos over the years, they can see what a huge fan he is of the Ghostbusters franchise. There's even a review where he throws in a lesser known quote "The effect is, it's pissing me off!" So when he refused to throw money at the remake, it made sense.
Then the knee-jerk reactions came, without putting any of it in perspective.
Also, this was an entertaining video, per usual haha.
The best part of the people speaking out about the non-review are speaking out against him for not giving the movie a chance despite giving all the trailers a chance (which is done by everyone for every movie). YET the people are saying dumb stuff like "I couldn't even watch your entire video, it was so offensive" I wish hypocrisy was more obvious to closed minded people
It wasn't sexism, just ignorance.
So the Number one, the boogey man, is basically the foundation for monsters inc?
just what i was thinking
I was thinking the same thing lol
That's what I immediately thought.
A nice review of the series. Actually having the Boogieman episode in a distant memory from the past. Cannot recall if it was on a recorded VHS tape or did I see it right out as broadcast but the episode felt kind of like an epic nightmare to go through that did in that case end well. Though what I remember the best from VHS was the episode Banshee bake a cherry pie. I actually still love the rock song that plays in it!
Beneath These Streets was always one of my top favorites!
I'm binge watching the entire series on Netflix now. Warning: these episodes are like potato chips, one is never enough. And five can easily become 12 or 18!
"Knock Knock" was easily the best episode, and should have been the third movie.
The video game *is* the third film.
There was another good end of the world episode where some guy had a flute that was bringing on the apocalypse, but i don't remember the name of it.
"Ragnorok and Roll" Another great episode involving demons, tidal waves, & a lost love.
So scary and creepy
Egon's pomp is glorious
0:49 That red eyed ghost! That ghost has been haunting my dreams for a long time now since I was a kid. I got to see whatever the episode is.
12:34 It even has Omega Supreme's face!
Heh, I bet he's trolling the shitty movie "remake" fangirls. lol
Those last 20 seconds were deliciously snide.
+Cid the Ninja That's a badass profile picture
All 54 of them? The movie tanked hard. Sony is projected to take a loss...
The movie made like 2% of its budget in a week kek
I saw it, and I actually enjoyed it.
James, please do a review of the " Extreme Ghostbusters " cartoon from 1997!!
2:13 When james starts feeling the effects of mentioning the producer DIC
Who knows the 'Magic Window' logo animation that used to come before the VHS of Real Ghostbusters? Kid running 🏃 through a park into a window and the silhouette of other kids appears!
Thumbs up if you grew up in the 90s!!!!!!
5:56 The same thing happens to me when I hear Larry the Cable Guy, I think of Mater the tow-truck from "Cars".
My favorite cartoons when I was a kid were Thundecats, Dungeons & Dragons and Ghostbusters, and thankfully, all of them are still great!
Was this show animated by Japanese animators? The characters looks very anime.
James Hernandez Yes it was, actually.
Korean
Yes it was and it was awesome.
john holt No. It's was made by japanese animators. They were like koreans today who make cheap animations for japanese companies.
James Hernandez I've heard that DiC outsourced a lot of their animation to Korean studios
Where's The Collect Call of C'thulhu and Ragnarok in your 10 Highights? The former even references the live action movies.
Second this, the call of Cthulhu episode is great. I watch it again a couple years ago and it was better than i remember.
Yeah, The Collect Call of C'thulhu was awesome.
The name of the bad guy in the episode is Clark Ashton Smith, if i remember right.
Those are the ones that immediately came to my mind! Thank you, I completely agree.
+Lord Proteus That exists?
I've gotta get off my ass and watch some Real Ghostbusters right now.
Did anyone else have a HUGE crush on Janine? Lol
fk yea, her and she-ra lol
Janine, She-Ra and Sailor Mercury :3
Let's not forget Tela from He-man, and Nightshade from COPS
Which version of Janine?
princess alura, april o'neil
Thanks Sony, for killing a great Franchise. R.I.P GB
and this is why Sony should stop doing adaptations and people should stop giving Disney crap for all the stuff they buy, when they actually do good with it, meanwhile Sony is ruining everything
I'm willing to bet if Disney had Ghostbusters it would have been a badass SEQUEL with the living original cast members
it was killed with the second movie
How can you say they killed it? They didn't, they cannot. The real ghostbusters are the real deal and they will stay there forever in our memories, no sony can erase them.
Thats because Disney Listens to the fans and would never have let Paul Feig alienate the audience the way he did
I'm glad to see you're a fan of the cartoon as well. I remembered every episode you mentioned, they were all great. I also loved some of the little details they threw in, like (I think in the one where they're in the hospital after whatever they did in the chemical plant zone) Janine bringing someone a book of Edgar Allen Poe's poems, and someone a tape of the Alan Parson's Project (both things I was actually familiar with even as a 6 year old, moreso the music), or another episode where they're dealing with Cthulu cultists who are chanting actual lines from Lovecraft.
A couple of other standout episodes I still recall...
1-31 The Thing in Mrs. Faversham's Attic: A cool episode where there's a back-story, but also a chance for Venkman to show that sometimes he can have a kinder side at the end. The characters in that show really weren't flat!
1-65 The Hole in the Wall Gang: This was a really creepy one, that leaves some unanswered questions at the end. As a kid I both loved it and was frustrated it because of how much it left to the imagination: Ray gets pulled into one of those holes, but we never find out what exactly is on the other side, but it seems to be shocking, even traumatic. And what was up with that couple who owned that house?
There's also that episode where slimer was possessed by some demon and changed into a gruesome demon ghost thing and he only became this way while he was sleeping
***** I think I remember that one, too.
Annie Potts would have been awesome as a Ghostbuster
Yeah....Sigourney Weaver too.
Maybe not Dana Sigourney Weaver, but definitely Ripley Sigourney Weaver for sure.
If they had made a true third film, then you would think that Dana would have at least been trained to use a proton pack. That, or leave the city completely because she and her son are magnets for major paranormal events. She could keep a pack and trap with her at all times, just in case, you know. (LOL) Ripley Barrett: "Feig, get away from the franchise, you bitch!"
A female ghostbuster? That's just stupid.
Downright terrifying for children? Damn right it was. I was it when I was a kid and some of the episodes scared the crap out of me.
Yep, it was the Boogeyman episode
+Blackadder5 That episode had me checking my closet every night for a month...
hell yeah this show scared me but yet I couldn't stop watching
I believe the Boogieman (sp?) character and episode was also the subject matter of a collection of ViewMaster slides. I will have to dig in my collection.
+thejunkman Are you kidding? That is sadistic! lol
The Real Ghostbusters took so many great elements of the movie and turned it up a notch with new scary villians, adult storylines and expand on the movie. I was scared to death of the Boogyman, Samhein and others. Just an incredible classic.
Now do a review of: Extreme Ghostbusters.... 90's cartoon..
This show was really creepy and dark for a kids show. Who else remembers Boogieman? I can never forget him boy did that scare me as a kid.
Man, I really like these reviews. James is one of the most passionate dudes on YT.
I had no idea how excellent this cartoon was when I was a kid. I miss my old VHS tape with the 'mantis vs stay puft' and a couple other episodes. Totally going back to watch some of these...
James, not sure if you'll even see this, but you are awesome! Thanks for the insane amount of dedication and passion you have. You always seem to put out fantastic, top notch videos. AVGN is always great, the Board James series is amazing, and Dragon of My Dreams warmed my heart. I'm a fan for life, and wish you & yours all the best.
the lorenzo music seasons were the best
The only Dave C episodes I care for were The Boogeyman's Back and the second Samhain episode.
Totally agree on both of these comments.
Great review. I remember watching thus show as a kid good times.
It was like you sayed the real Ghostbusters 👻
Wow, couldn't believe how many of the episodes from the list of ten I actually remembered from when this show was still on tv. Great show, but damn, some of that shit was pretty fucked up.
me too I grew up with the show and these episodes scared the hell outta me! lol
I was thinking the same thing. It's been 25 years but many of those episodes were still tucked away somewhere in my memory. Looking back some of that seems a bit much for a kid's show.
Thats how you know it impacted you as a kid. You still remember it.
The call of Cthulhu and ragnarok and roll are two of my favorites
"The Call of Cathulhu" it's an awesome episode, has spells, shoggoths, Cthulhu and even deep ones.
AdiRaptor some crazy demonic cult performs a ceremony to summon Cthulhu who appears to be a kind of giant squid monster. Chaos ensues. The ghostbusters take care of business by utilizing a nearby rollercoaster.
The Boogieman Cometh always creeped the heck out of me as a kid.
+boojwahz Science
Guys don't forget the episode where the busters go to Scotland and find themselves in a centuries old ghost battle between the highlanders and the lowlanders and since they don't have their stuff they turn a bunch of garbage trucks into ghost traps. Bonus: they pwn a local crooked politician.
Oh my god. I remember watching this show when i was lil. I'm glad you shine some light to this. I need to go see again and yes the music is tough to sit through after watching consecutively but they catch the essence of the Ghost Buster and added more to it. The boogie man was the scariest episode i saw. It makes sense why i got scared to watch the movie "It". Cartoons were meant for adults.
I was a teenager when this show came out but I still watched it and still do once in awhile on Netflix. BTW thanks for mentioning Inhumanoids! That show was rediculously underrated.
Unfortunately this isn't properly available on DVD anymore. The new DVD's are edited and missing episodes. The proper DVD series (from Time Life) is out of print. :(
It's funny how this is a nostalgia trip for you to review this show, while it's a nostalgia trip for me to watch you review this show.
Keep on keeping on james.
The baseball episode with Winston was always one my favs! My fav show when I was really young! Used to get up and dance with ‘em at the the ending credits scene in front of the TV when I was like 3 lol
i remember watching this show when i was little, scared the hell outta me but i still loved it, so many great episodes, i didnt realize it was seven seasons long, now in days most shows get three, im gonna have to pick this up one day and rewatch it.
This cartoon was fucking cool! Thank you James for taking us back to the past (for good things also, man).
After all these years, I still think about the Boogeyman episode from time to time. That one and "The Grundel"... oh man, those were trippy.
"You could easily see how there could have been a third movie."
I see what you did there.
One of the actors in the new film has the same haircut as Egon in this show. Coincidence?
No.
No.
No.
No.
.oN
The Boogieman episode fucked me up as a kid, real nightmares.
I loved that the title was shown at the start of every episode. I used to write down the title in a piece of paper, to help me remember each episode. We didn't have a VCR back then, so I had to rely on network programming with lots of commercials. But this series brought so many wonderful moments for me as a child, and recalling them now is a treat.
Why didn't you select The Collect Call of Cthulhu for your top 10? I find it to be one of the best Mythos interpretations as well as one of the best Real Ghostbusters episodes.
Endy Mallorn I agree best episode of the series
Wow, this really makes me want to get the whole series! ❤️ Thanks again, James, for awesome content! 👏🏻
Burnt on everything from the reboot film, I found myself turning to The Real Ghostbusters cartoon and have been amazed at how well it holds up. The music sometimes is a bit too 80's for my taste and the animation every so often isn't as great, but on the whole I'm impressed with it. Normally great animation and excellent writing!
Knock knock!
Who's their?
Dishes.
Dishes who?
Dishes the Ghostbuster open up!
GHOSTBUSTERS!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
That scene at the airport always cracked me up as a kid.
Your content is absolute gold James! Pure gold. Can’t wait to hear your review of Afterlife. I haven’t seen it yet. I have my reservations.
That episode where the guys go to a GHOSTBUSTERS movie screening,is a real meta episode because Lorenzo Music(Yup!Thats his last name) is voicing Peter Venkman while Bill Murray is in the movie on the screen Peter is watching.
Lorenzo Music was also a fairly regular television writer back in the day and wrote for the Mary Tyler Moore show among other things. He also had a very strange ongoing voice-only part as something like 'the doorman on the intercom' ...on the spin off Rhoda show.
Dude I remember watching that episode as a kid and it was such a trip for me hahaha. This episode trips me even more out as an adult xD hahaha
that is why he said that. because its both Garfields in the same episode
what episode is that
TheCaptainJedi101 it is in the episode titled “Take Two”.Very meta indeed, :D
All the hysterical bedwetters hating on James' perfectly rational, 100% unsexist anti GB2016 video? Completely ignored.
Impeccably played, JR. Great review, too.
Bill Murray took on the Garfield role to pay homage to Lorenzo Music who had died before the movie came out. He supposedly felt bad about complaining all the years ago that his cartoon sounded too much like Garfield.
"Instead, they went with DIC" I laughed so hard when he said that
I really like James' reviews when he's not in "Angry Video Game Nerd" mode. He should be this way for the game reviews as well. He's very easy to listen to and has great opinions.
I think now the current Nerd is a pretty good mix of the Nerd and James
This was excellent. I actually remember your 10 highlights as well. Awesome stuff man
Had to buy a few seasons. I went nuts for this cartoon as a kid. My four year olds love it too.
My wife was watching episodes on youtube the other day, she is a HUGE Ghostbusters fan as well as Ninja Turtles. I kept asking her if she found the episode where Slimer is put into the containment unit and floats through the dimension. I seemed to remember something like that happening. She said "That Never happened." But I do remember the Dimension inside the containment unit. I new I was right take that hon!
There is an episode where Janine and Lois get kidnapped by a mobster ghost. He gives the Ghostbusters 24 hours to surrender their business to him. The Ghostbusters figure out that they have already captured one of his henchmen, so they send Slimer into the containment unit to go and find him and lure him out. Whilst in the containment unit, Slimer sees many ghosts that the Ghostbusters have already caught. Including Stay Puft for some reason. In this episode Venkman also has to disguise himself as a ghost and he uses Vigo's slime that the Ghostbusters had collected from the events of Ghostbusters 2, to do it.
Wow what is the name of that episode?
My parents didn't like me watching this cartoon show they felt it was against the church to talk about ghosts or something. I would be able to sneak and see a little bit of it but very rarely.
The episode is called Partners in Slime. It's really good.
Loved this show as a kid. Great atmosphere and interesting stories.
I feel like TMNT 2003 is on the same level as Real Ghostbusters and Batman The Animated Series some of my favorites. I grew up far after those cartoons aired, but I found them on the internet.
Hey, avgn!! I just wanted to let you know that you've inspired me to collect all kinds of different classic, rare and all the other 80s - 90s games I can get my hands on!! I know a good place to start, and the store I'm referring to is a classic video game store that I live near! I hope to become an awesome classic video game guy like you!!
Don't forget the toys.
they didn't lol, I think they have a vid talking about them
He mentioned the toys as his AVGN gimmick on his Ghostbusters games Review (Part 1, I believe).
