Saturday morning (almost noon) fun.

Rating: 8/10 (16 September 2008)

In the 1960s Saturday morning was known as cartoon day. By the mid 1970s a few shows had been aired that included real people. These included H.R. Huf'n'Stuf, the Far Out Space Nuts, the Banana Splits, the Bugaloos, and last but not least, the Ghostbusters. There was even a show featuring trained chimps called Lancelink, Secret Agent Chimp. Ghostbusters was a conglomeration of static and repeated sets and scenery, schticks, slapstick, and ultimate ghost-ridding conclusions. Ghostbusters was a pro-nonsense, no worries or cares kind of show. Repeated aspects of the show include Tracey's attempts at painting, Spencer's attempts at opening the file drawer, Tracey driving to get their assignments, the assignments self-destructing in Tracey's face as he follows the countdown, the same castle drawing that was pictured for where all the ghosts seemed to reside, and Tracey's prop gags before the Ghostbusters entered the castle. Boring? Yes and no. Entertaining? Yes, if you don't expect too much.
