Saturtainment: Pound Puppies in Ghost Hounders (1986)

 "Ghost Hounders", the 1st season finale of Pound Puppies, was a clear case of ABC having a little fun at their own expense, as it parodies "Ghostbusters". Season 1 of The Real Ghostbusters, I believe, ended the same day that this episode aired.

Anyway, Whopper's hero worship of Biff Barker leads to Biff showing up to bust a phony ghost linked to the latest scheme of Katrina Stoneheart (Pat Carroll).

The opening sequence has been edited off.


While TV & movie vet Robert Morse (ex-That's Life) provided Howler's speaking voice, the howls came from one of the Real Ghostbusters---Frank Welker (naturally). The cast also includes a pre-Simpsons Nancy Cartwright, who was doing quite a bit of work for Hanna-Barbera in those days, Dan Gilvezan (ex-Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends) and Peter Cullen.

No rating.
