One big reason why Ghost Busters flopped the way it did as a live action series was the ham-handed writing of series creator Marc Richards, who apparently couldn't be bothered with proper context in his scripts, which is why most of the episodes came off as being, well, amateur night, despite the talent involved.
One case in point is the adventure of an Egyptian queen's ghost (Barbara Rhodes) and her mummy bodyguard, who wasn't exactly a menace.
This video comes complete with commercials, including a spot promoting CBS' lineup that we pulled a long while ago, and a Crest commercial with Arthur O'Connell. Jackson Beck narrates the spot for Ideal's Evel Knievel toys.
You may need to turn up the volume for this one.
