The Real Ghostbusters, Volume 2

I mean, do I even have to say it. Of course this is awesome. I am in the midst of collecting the entire serries and I am so glad that they are available digitally since I don't need all of those blu-ray cases lying around (I don't even know if this would be available on blu-ray).For those born too late to enjoy this when it was on the air, this really used to be THE best (I mean, along with Thundercats, He-Man, She-Ra....GI Joe...okay, one of the best). I highly recommend. In watching these now, they seem to have stood the test of time and still hold up. Not all of our favorite cartoons from that era did.Enjoy!

This was one of my favorite shows of my childhood, so I have been slowly trying to purchase all of the available content and seasons from Amazon. They are all reasonably priced, and I am excited to complete this collection.

Although initially disappointed that Volume 2 did not include a metallic cover like Volume 1, I'm still pleased with the release, and am anxious to see the release of Volume 3.The 31 episodes contained in this set all come from Season 2 of "The Real Ghostbusters", but even with the season 2 episodes also included in Volume 1, there's still a few more from season 2 to be released.The humor in this series, although 80's dated in some areas, still translates easily to today's audiences, and in many cases, leaves one gasping for air from laughing so hard! Many of them also offer fascinating insights into classic legends from various cultures, including the Greek pantheon, with a little Ghostbusters twist.Voice artists Arsenio Hall and Lorenzo Music continue with their great performances as Winston and Egon, while the amazing Frank Welker continues primarily as Slimer, and other characters.I'm not including an episode-by-episode review, because I don't want to ruin the set for anyone, except that for me, it was a great investment. I'm already impatient for the next set! Bring it on! :-D

The next volume in The Real Ghostbusters is just as great as the first! As a child I loved The Real Ghostbusters and watch the show today brings back fond memories of watching the show before school and on Saturday mornings! The first vol contains the episodes with the Bogeyman and Samhain but this set also contains some truly well written adventures. Some of my favorite episodes on this vol include:The Devil in the Deep- Peter basically has to rescue his fellow Ghostbusters after a sea monster swallow them whole!The Thing in Mrs. Faversham's Attic- The Ghostbusters get a call from an old woman to bust some ghosts that have forced her from going into her attic for thirty years!The Collect Call of Cathulhu- When the Necronomico is stolen from the public library, the Ghostbusters find themselves battling sewer creature and chasing after cults to solve this mystery!In the end The Real Ghostbusters is a gem in cartoon history that shouldn't be missed by either fans or today's youth! Stop watching Dragon Ball whatever and put on some good old American cartoons!

Brings back memories of the good old days of Saturday morning cartoons

I know it's a bit silly watching a kid's cartoon as an adult. But I loved this show in college, along with my roommates, and well, it's still a guilty pleasure.This set really contains some of the best episodes of the show, from the famous Cthulhu episode, to the one parodying Citizen Kane, the one with the battle between werewolves and vampires, to my personal favorite of the show, the one were a guy plots to bring about Ragnarok because he got dumped by his girlfriend.

Volume 2 has some of the classic episodes of the series (Ragnarok and Roll, The Collect Call of Cathulu, The Bird of Kildarby, Masquerade, Janine's Day Off, etc) but most of the episodes here are just average at best. Some episodes obviously hold up better than others after all these years, but that was to be expected. Some of my major concerns, however, were the great differences in audio/video quality between one episode and the next. Some episodes look and sound great, and some of them look and sound a little muddy -- as if they weren't remastered (or remastered well). This does not affect enjoyability of the series, though, especially if you're a fan like me who has been waiting for this series to be released on DVD for many years.

Kids love the show and think it's hysterical

Amo la caricatura

L'image est un peu pixellisée, mais comme il a fallut faire rentrer 12 épisodes sur un seul dvd c'est assez bien finalement. Et puis c'est la seule version qui contienne des sous titres français.

Venduta come film in 4K, ma nella confezione non vi è alcuna mensione all'ultra HD!Peraltro la qualità video è pessima! Si vedono i pixel grandi quanto una casa! Sinceramente non è neanche all'altezza della qualità HD (720p)!Non posso che sconsigliare l'acquisto!

Not a bad release. The episodes are of very decent quality. They are missing their episode title cards (but all the episodes on these releases seem to have that issue), instead a quick flash of subtitles on the title screen let you know the episode name and the writer.So why does this release only get 3 stars.....Sony goofed!There are supposed to be 13 episodes on this DVD, but they skipped one; 'Adventures in Slime and Space', I just checked Volume 3 (which I brought earlier) and it didn't have it on there. Now if you buy this volume online (through Amazon Video etc.) surprise, surprise 'Adventures in Slime and Space' is there. So it's on the digital release, but not the DVD?!OK, I can understand that you can only have a certain number of episodes on a disc fair enough, but they should have known better. The later volumes have only about 11 episodes, where there should have been 12 like the others, but they are not, I just mentioned the missing episode is not on Volume 3 (DVD or digitally), because it's not supposed to be there, at least not at this point in the Syndicated season, unless Sony jumbled up some episodes, but apart from 'Adventures in Slime and Space' they have been consistent on when and where they're supposed to be to when they were originally broadcasted.Oh and the episode 'Knock, Knock' is the version with the Ghostbusters theme playing, instead of Tahiti's song 'The Boogeyman', but that's a very minor gripe compared to a missing episode. (I also fear Volume 1 has a similar issue), Sony should have really known better.

Anyone that remembers this show from the Saturday mornings back in the 80's shouldn't be disappointed. They even kept the little ghost that announces the departure and return at the places where the commercial breaks would have been. For anyone who has not seen it, this program is funny, and the senarios are fairly believable and complex enough to keep you interested. Sort of a combination of sci-fi and mystery. Might be a bit too scarey for young children. Appropriate for slightly older kids and up.
