Talk:Filmation's Ghostbusters

Ansa-bone or Ansa-phone

What's the proper name for this character. From my understanding, its Ansa-bone, hence the pun. Am I wrong? Somebody else came along and changed it to Ansa-phone, so I don't know what to think. Anybody have a link to prove it one way or another? Dross82 03:49, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

I think it depends on which episode you're watching, but the model sheets that come as extras in the DVD set say it's "Ansabone," so I'd say that's the official name. Gladrius 18:55, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

CBS?

Any proof this aired on CBS? I'm pretty sure it was syndicated. In my area it ran on an independant station, not the CBS affiliate. I don't think CBS was airing cartoons on weekday afternoons in the mid 80's, either.

Where I grew up in New York City, it didn't air on the CBS station, so it must have been syndicated. ErikNY 20:28, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

I wrote that and because I read it somewhere. I'd agree with you though because I could be wrong. Dross82 21:52, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

It was syndicated. Beginning with He-Man in 1983, Filmation made shows exclusively for syndication (Gilligan's Planet was their last series for Saturday mornings).

"Real Ghostbusters Controversy Section NOT NPOV

The "controversy" section, especially the last paragraph, need a rewrite to conform to NPOV.

Very true. I created most of this article, and upon further read, you're absolutely right. I tried to fix it up a bit. Dross82

It still doesnt seem right to me, the info is incongruous with the Ghostbusters page which states that "A problem arose during filming when it was discovered that a show was produced in 1975 by Filmation for CBS called The Ghost Busters...but during the filming of the crowd for the final battle, the extras were all chanting "Ghostbusters", which inspired the producers to insist that the studio buy the rights to the name." There are clearly issues somewhere though I don't know where.--CheShA (talk) 16:13, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Tribune Entertainment?

The show's copyright message reads as follows:

© 1986 Filmation Associates/Tribune Broadcasting Co. Ltd

Does anyone know if Tribune distributed this show? I was under the impression that Group W distributed all of Filmation's shows beginning with He-Man in 1983. Can anybody clear up this confusion? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Brittany Ka (talk • contribs) 12:35, 1 May 2007 (UTC).

It is fair use. The logo comes from the Celebrity Home Entertainment releases, so whoever posted it got it from one of those. CHE went out of business some years back, so yes, it is fair use. Brittany Ka 12:15, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Ratings hit until...

The article claims that Filmation's Ghostbusters was a ratings hit until The Real Ghostbusters debuted. But both shows debuted on the exact same day, according to Toonopedia. [1] --Metropolitan90 07:22, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
