The Real
Ghostbusters animated series ran for six seasons worth of new episodes between 1986-1991 and have been repeated in various syndication markets for years since, although these days it's hard to find the show on the air in most places.
Video tapes of the series were sold in the early 1990s and might be found on Ebay if you search long enough.
And now...
