Saturday Morning's Forgotten Heroes: The Real Ghostbusters vs. Killerwatt (1986)

 The Real Ghostbusters turns 35 this year, and now, the Ghostbusters franchise has a YouTube channel that will upload episodes of both Real Ghostbusters and its' late 90's sequel, Extreme Ghostbusters.

New York has experienced blackouts before, but never like this, as the Ghostbusters deal with a malevolent spirit named "Killerwatt". James Avery guest stars as the villain, but is not credited.


We've established that Lorenzo Music (Peter) left the show to do Garfield & Friends. Truth be told, he has one generic character voice that he used for both Peter & Garfield.

Rating: A-.

"We've established that Lorenzo Music (Peter) left the show to do Garfield & Friends."

In one of television's great ironies, it was the network that dropped Lorenzo Music from the part after Bill Murray (the live-action Peter Venkman) complained that Music's Venkman sounded too much like Garfield. Doubly ironic since years later Murray himself voiced Garfield in 2 live-action/animation hybrid movies.

ABC made the call? I'd think DIC & Columbia would've done that.
