Bring back “The Real Ghostbusters”

#

Started by gapu in Chit-Chat

i cant tell you how much i love this cartoon serie… and i guess there are some people here who like it too… i mean it’s one, if not the best cartoon series from the 80’s… and probably also one the top 5 of all cartoon series EVER made!

it’s a disgrace… there are hundreds of terrible shows on dvd, but not the real ghostbusters. they were a part of my childhood and i think they should be released… they deserve more!

so sign the petition for the rgb:

I signed… but it had better be good. I’ve seen many cartoons that I loved when I was young but turned out to be shite… most recently Dungeons & Dragons. LAME :mad:

Sorry to be a bit doom and gloom, but i saw it quite recently (on cartoon newtork i think) and I thought it was AWFUL - and that was after *LOVING* it as a child :(

Dont tell me Dungeons and Dragons is bad too now :( :(

At least Knightmare is still good! :D

:D I just rememebred what you’re talking about. How bored would you be to be the kid in the helmet?

Lol, just flashbacked to me and a mate playing Knightmare out in the street. Him with a bucket on his head, and me throwing stuff at him, shouting ‘Duck!’ ‘Left!’ ‘Right!’ :D Happier times.

Family Ness - thank you for making me feel old, truely appreciated :(

Bring back:
Knightmare - Yes
Family Ness - Yes
Dungeons & Dragon - NO
The Real Ghostbusters - NO.

I say no, but I mean NO. Same old rehashed gags that weren’t funny the first time you heard them.

If you have to bring them back, you have to bring back some other dodgy stuff like Thundercats, Battle of the Planets, Galaxy Rangers & Pole Position. Then also the really twee stuff like Care Bears (version 12), My little Pony & The Wuzzels. And no I don’t have Sky - I remember even at that time reading the TV guide to make sure I missed all the stuff I needed too. :rolleyes:

Yes - I remember Bod “Here comes Bod” - da du du du du duddle du, da du du du du duddle do. And the flumps - BBC 2 at it’s finest, that King Rolo, Mr Benn! :D

Mr Benn indeed!

I mean, what kind of freak goes to a shop, tries on the clothes, gets whisked away to a magical world AND THEN DOES IT ALL OVER AGAIN THE NEXT WEEK?!

Surely you’d go home to the wife and go..”Oh love, I had the weirdest imaginary day..I think I will go and see the doctor tomorrow and take the rest of the week off work, til I can get my head straight, you know..? I mean, it all seemed so real…”

Mr Benn - the hard-hitting children’s drama which follows one man’s decline into mental illness as a result of his high-pressure white-collar job in the city.

And don’t even start me on Bagpuss: “It was a shop not like any other shop, because it didn’t sell anything” IT WASN’T A FUCKING SHOP THEN WAS IT?!

The best part of Bod was actually the programme after it, which was like it’s sister programme - Alberto The Frog and His Amazing Animal Band.

Even now, the phrase “The Squirrels on the trombones knew what he was going to ask for…” is a well-used phrase amongst friends.

Then there’s also Button Moon. :)

Also I loved Rent-A-Ghost, I don’t know really why, I just did. :rolleyes:

So Dennis does this make you from the “Watch with Mother” generation?

We had a teacher who was the spit of Mr Claypole.

Oh how he laughed when we used to point that out!

Well, I say laughed, more kind of pinned a lad to the wall til his face went red, kinda thing.

:D

“Watch with mother?” Nah, more kind of LISTEN with mother, as the whole village would gather around the only wireless for thirty miles…Ah, them were the days, before all this electricity and running water came and made evrything so damn complicated…

Don’t I can see this going do the old Monty Python sketch!

Oh well -

“Our dad used to beat us to death with the broken end of a bottle we’d bought with the last deacdes wages, then he’d send us down pit to work for all the 29 hours a day, 10 days a week. Then when we get back to have 1 seconds sleep - He’d beat us with the bottle again & then it’d be time for work again. These youngsters don’t know the half of how good they’ve got it”.

:D

In another life we could have been friends, but clearly not this life. :mad: You leave Bagpuss alone; he’s just a saggy old cloth cat. :mad:

I am not knocking Bagpuss at all, I am with Emily on that front all the way, I am dissing the dumb narrator at the start who wanted to confuse kids as to what a shop is…

Is it any wonder there is so much shoplifting these days, when we were told as kids that shops don’t necesarily have to SELL things? :(

Hmm, well, ok. I see your point, and it’s a valid point. It’s a short step from shops that don’t sell anything, to cars with their wheels nicked that don’t go anywhere.

But we still can’t be friends. Just because.

Do you remember an episode where the mice were telling a story of mice escaping a flood of orange squash, and they were in a boat, singing:

“Row, row, row your boat, sticky with orange squash…merrily merrily merrily merrily bosh bosh bosh”…?

Please god tell me i haven’t imagined it :(

It’s true. :D The song starts off as row row row your boat, and then generates into a series of nonsense. The last line is ‘what a lot of bosh.’

‘Nyah nyah nyah, what a lot of bosh, indeed. I’ve never heard such rubbish.’

:D

EDIT: and when you say ‘remember’ you do of course mean ‘have you watched your well-worn vhs tape recently, daryl?’ :o
