List of The Real Ghostbusters episodes

It's business as usual when the Ghostbusters entrap a family of Class Fives - an irritable dad, a doting mom and a dumb baby. When Slimer tries to sneak some food without permission, he accidentally ensures that the Class Fives' stay won't even last through the night. The newly-freed family are now out for one thing - revenge. Soon enough, Ghosts 'R Us hits the scene and their "successes" make the guys look second-rate at every turn. The Ghostbusters may soon be out of business, but when the ghost family attempts to finish the job, they unleash a force that endangers all of New York City.

Note: In the original (ABC) airing of Season 1, each episode ended with a green DiC vortex logo with the byline "Produced In Association With", followed by a CPT logo with the byline "A Unit of the Coca-Cola Company". The first note of the CPT logo would overlap with the final note of the end credits theme.

Note: The title card and start-of-Act 2 bumper were silent, and only had Arsenio Hall's voice-over in this episode. Afterwards, the former began using a 7-note jingle, trimmed from one of the music cues, and the latter had a 9-note jingle. These would also be used during the second (ABC) season.

An electric ghost named Killerwatt (James Avery) has taken over the power plant, leaving New York City powerless.

After a week-long lull, the Ghostbusters get a case - and to a haunted house, no less. Ray takes the house's occupants - Mrs. Rogers and her pet bird - back to the firehouse for their own safety, while the others inspect the area. A variety of increasingly bizarre happenings do occur and Egon attributes it all to Watt, a powerful demon, disguised as a kindly old lady who traps the Ghostbusters in a haunted house while it infiltrates the firehouse and attempts to break open the containment unit. The situation proves worse than they would've imagined, however, as Watt has a bigger plan than a mere haunting. He possesses Peter in order to break open the containment unit.

After being yelled at by Peter, Slimer runs away and gets mixed up with some very mean poltergeists. The ghosts' leader then tries to absorb Slimer and hundreds of other ghosts into himself, making him invincible.

A young troll leaves his tribe, goes exploring and ends up in New York. While he has a good time, his tribe takes over the bridge and threatens to destroy the city if he isn't returned by sundown, using a group of flying, fire-breathing birds. The Ghostbusters have a hard time catching the troll, but when they do, they can't stand to separate the party animal from the city. Instead, they convince the other trolls he was turned into a statue when their proton stream hit him. While the other trolls leave, the Ghostbusters send the young troll to a friend out of town.

Meghan and Kenny Carter (Susan Blu) are being scared by the Boogieman and go to the Ghostbusters for help. The children's parents aren't happy when the Ghostbusters barge into their homes in the middle of the night and ask them to leave. To make things even better, Egon knows the Boogieman from childhood, and convinces the guys to go after him. But in order to stop him, they'll have to find another way to get to the Boogieman, which leads them to a showdown in his realm.

All over New York, people are falling asleep and their dreams are becoming reality. A rogue Sandman has plans to put everyone to sleep in order to bring peace to the world, despite the fact that they will be asleep for 500 years. Egon realizes how to beat him, but falls sleep before he can say it. One by one, Ray, Peter and Egon are put to sleep, until only Winston is left. Knowing that he can't stop the Sandman alone, Winston tries to figure out what Egon had realized, but couldn't say. It is only with the help of Albert Einstein (from Egon's dream) that Winston is able to figure out what to do. He returns to the firehouse, where he tells Janine his plan. Janine falls under the Sandman's spell and falls asleep as Winston is cornered by the Sandman. In Janine's dream, she transforms herself into a Ghostbuster as she hits the Sandman from behind and, with the help of Slimer, traps him.

When a group of subway construction workers accidentally uncover an ancient door that isn't meant to be opened up until doomsday, their persistence accidentally triggers the door's opening, which sends incredible amounts of poltergeist energy surging through the New York subway system, mutating the trains into worm-like monsters. The Ghostbusters are called in to deal with it, and Egon discovers that if they don't close the door soon, the entire world will be transformed into a twisted and barren wasteland of ghostly and demonic creatures that will replace all of humankind and civilization.

Note 1: One of the differences between the ABC and Syndicated episodes was that the crew had more freedom with certain storylines and villains on the latter, that would have been vetoed by the network, due to their strict protocols.^[7]

Note 2: First released on video by RCA/Columbia's Magic Window division on October 22, 1986.

Note 3: This is the only syndicated episode to have a silent title card, different from the others in this season. The others used an alternate jingle, different from the one used in the first two ABC seasons.

Note 4: "THE REAL GHOSTBUSTERS is available on MAGIC WINDOW Videocassettes from RCA/Columbia Pictures Home Video. Original Soundtrack Album Available on Polydor Records, Tapes and Compact Disc". This tagline only appeared on the syndicated episodes' closing credits.

Note 5: Much like the first ABC season, all syndicated episodes carried a 1986 copyright date, as they were produced during that year. Fewest episodes in their original airing used the DIC choir variant kid in bed logo. Some episodes used the DIC green vortex/CPT logo (with the latter freeze-framed after the last note of the fanfare), others used the DIC kid in bed (warp-speed variant)/Coca-Cola Telecommunications logo. Arsenio Hall (Winston) does the voice of the NO GHOST in the bumpers, and the episode title is silent. Subsequent syndicated episodes used an 8-note jingle, trimmed from one of the commercial bumper cues. The closing theme music continues to play over the DIC kid in bed Logo with the "In Association With" tagline in some prints. It is a rare variant in this episode, as usually it is only reserved for the DIC green vortex logo.

A ghostly bayou trumpet player, Malachi, is living - sort of - in the past, and seeks to turn back the clock by playing a haunting rendition of "When the Saints Go Marching In". Ghostbusters, with help from a bewitching mambo, try to fight this time-warping menace.

It is not suitable for a Spengler to be anything as unscientific as a Ghostbuster, at least in the eyes of Egon's Uncle Cyrus. Egon has to reluctantly go back to the Midwest, over 1,500 miles from New York, and feed mice at the Spengler Labs. The Ghostbusters will try anything to convince Uncle Cyrus that there actually are such things as ghosts. Things get out of hand when Uncle Cyrus unwittingly lets the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man out of the containment unit, and the Ghostbusters have to put him back before he destroys the city again.

Winston and Slimer go to the Jaguars baseball stadium to see them play. There, Winston witnesses a supernatural event and tries, unsuccessfully, to convince the guys to investigate. Winston's research into the event leads to an old Native American legend that involves an ancient battle between the forces of Good and Evil that takes place once every 500 years. When Winston becomes trapped in the stadium during the ghostly takeover, the guys go to rescue him. However, when they get inside, they find two supernatural forces playing baseball instead of fighting. According to Winston, the two forces choose their method of battle based on their surroundings, which is now housing a baseball stadium. What's more, the two groups are playing for a single human soul. If Good loses, the soul must spend 500 years doing Evil's bidding. The umpire, who seems to be the judge for this contest, has allowed Winston to play on the side of Good since he was there when the battle began, and allows the Ghostbusters to remain and watch. Peter thinks that they are playing for Winston's soul, and that they have to help the good guys win this contest. However, Egon points out that if they try to cheat, Good will lose, and Winston will lose his soul. Winston is the last up to bat for the side of Good, and faces off against a mammoth pitcher with a cannon-trunk for a pitching arm. Winston manages to hit the last ball, scoring a home run and winning the game. The umpire then reveals that the whole thing was a test, that the Ghostbusters had to decide whether or not to interfere and let Good win on its own terms. But Winston reveals the biggest secret of all, that they were not playing for his soul, but Peter's, and that's why they let Winston play.

Peter's conman father sells a product that he claims acts as a ghost repellent. However, the products, which are actually plain and ordinary ponchos, prove to be useless against a ghost as simple as Slimer. Worse, when the Ghostbusters try to convince Peter's dad to stop selling them, due to the fact it is fraudulent and amoral, he sells them anyway to a science expedition that is out to investigate the New Jersey Parallelogram, apparently a 'smaller, nastier version' of the Bermuda Triangle, then the expedition gets trapped in the Parallelogram. Peter's father, thinking he may be responsible, goes to locate them at the same time the Coast Guard contracts the Ghostbusters to help them locate the missing ship. When the Ghostbusters and Coast Guard get pulled into the Parallelogram, they eventually find the ship and are able to get it out. Once out, they find Peter's father's speedboat, but he is not there. The boys go back into the Parallelogram in order to locate Peter's dad, finding him at the center of the supernatural structure battling a horde of ghosts. Their fight to save Peter's father results in damaging the center of the Parallelogram, and the Ghostbusters barely manage to escape before the entire structure collapses into the ocean. Peter's father later sends Peter a postcard from Alaska, letting him know that he's now got a job selling iceboxes to the natives.

The crew of a newly-created space platform calls the Ghostbusters for assistance in ridding them of a power-sucking ghost – a crew that oddly resembles that of another spacecraft on a five-year mission.

The Ghostbusters confront Valkyrie ghosts that have been terrorizing an opera. While there, Peter starts up a romance with the opera's diva. They also meet the Phantom of the Opera (who apparently summoned the Valkyries in the first place).

Note 1: First released on video by RCA/Columbia's Magic Window division in the fall of 1986.

Peter's favorite rock-star singer Shanna O'Callahan arrives in New York and turns out to be a banshee, an Irish spirit whose voice causes chaos. She is now planning to use a major rock concert to broadcast her chaotic spell across the nation, and then, the world. When the Ghostbusters go to confront her, Peter falls under her siren spell, which complicates matters for the team.

During a routine ghostbust in the city, the Ghostbusters take down a bunch of ghosts at a restaurant, where a young couple are talking about getting rid of a ghost in their own mansion. The man, named John, suggests that they hire the guys for the job, but the woman, Olivia, refuses. Winston gives John one of their business cards before they go. At the mansion, when the pair try to scare the ghost of Olivia's Uncle Horace away, John loses the card that Winston gave him, and Horace himself uses it to call the Ghostbusters to scare away the other two ghosts so that he can find what he lost. Another ghost (that escaped from the restaurant the guys were busting) causes trouble in the mansion. When the Ghostbusters arrive, they mistakenly try to bust Horace, who is unaware of the fact that he has now become a ghost. After convincing the guys not to bust him, Egon's PKE meter detects the other ghost, and the guys go after him, only to find that it has taken Olivia hostage. Egon uses a Tarzanesque move to rescue Olivia as the Ghostbusters trap the rogue spook. Horace, now reunited with Olivia, finally remembers that it was his niece he was searching for. Finally able to say good-bye, Horace passes on peacefully, and both John and Olivia thank the Ghostbusters for their help.

Wishing to take his vast fortune with him to the afterlife, a dying and insanely avaricious billionaire creates a machine to open a doorway to the afterlife. This causes a rupture in the separation between the human world and the ghost world. With ghosts invading the human world, the Ghostbusters must find a way to shut down his machine before the entire world is overrun with spooks and phantoms.

The Ghostbusters meet Drool, an unamalgamated shapeshifting entity, at a Poconos sideshow. Later, it seems the creature has escaped the main tent and is delighted in wreaking havoc and taunting the boys. But, especially when dealing with shapeshifters, things are seldom what they seem, when the guys realize that they're being stalked by a vengeful and maliciously playful shapeshifter that they failed to bust a week ago.

Note 1: First released on video by RCA/Columbia's Magic Window division in the summer of 1987, along with "The Revenge of Murray the Mantis" and "Ghostbuster of the Year".

In 1887, Simon Queg, a selfish and wealthy man, began to ride home to Providence from New York on a dark and stormy night, but is chased by a mysterious man on horseback that appears out of nowhere and disappears, never reaching his home. One hundred years later, Ray sees him ride by, followed by a mysterious figure. After learning from a local cook that Queg is one of the 'local ghosts', but that 'the Rider' is a sign of disaster, the Ghostbusters decide to find out what is happening. It turns out that Queg has spent the past century trying to avoid the figure, and as a result has never been able to get home. When Ray tries to help him, he accidentally trades places with Queg, becoming trapped in the endless cycle Queg was in. The Ghostbusters, with Slimer's help, are able to summon back Ray and the ghost buggy, and together with Queg they are able to force the Rider into a showdown and break the curse that Queg has been under for over a century. As it turns out, the Rider was actually Queg's cruel and selfish nature that he has been running from for 100 years. Thanks to Ray, he was able to face it and free himself. The episode is loosely based on the 19th century fable of Peter Rugg.

When the Necronomicon, the most powerful book of spells in the world, is stolen from the New York Public Library, the Ghostbusters find themselves up against the Spawn, and cult, of Cthulhu, who have stolen the book in order to bring the malevolent god back to Earth. Barely escaping from the Spawn when their weapons prove useless against them, as the Spawn are capable of super-regeneration, the guys turn to Professor Alice Derleth (Jodi Carlisle), a beautiful scholar and spell user, from Arkham, Massachusets, to help them stop Cthulhu's return. The guys raid the Cult's meeting place, only to get attacked by another Spawn-like creature, called a shoggoth, and Alice uses her spells to turn it to stone. The guys then turn to an old friend of Ray's who has access to old pulp magazines that tell how to defeat Cthulhu (which H. P. Lovecraft and other authors wrote based on the Necronomicon). When the team heads to Coney Island, they are unable to stop the resurrection as Cthulhu rampages through the park. The Ghostbusters' proton packs and Alice's spells prove useless in stopping the powerful 'Old One', and the boys are left with one option. Peter lures Cthulhu towards the roller coaster by shooting it in the head, so that the guys can ionize the coaster enough to attract a lightning bolt, blasting Cthulhu with 100 gigavolts of electricity, sending the creature back into hibernation. The Cult of Cthulhu has failed and is arrested by the cops, and Alice returns the Necronomicon to Arkham, but not before Peter takes her out on a date, though her version of a date is very different from Peter's.

Note 1: This episode's title misspells "Cthulhu" as "Cathulhu".

A movie director gets ghosts to help out in his project and all they want in return is to finish off the Ghostbusters.

The Ghostbusters are called in by the Mayor of New York to evict a small army of ghosts from a recently-purchased Irish castle, set up in New York's Central Park, who will not allow anyone to enter. Peter goes to negotiate with the leader of the ghosts, only to aggravate the ghost leader as only he can, who forces the Ghostbusters into a wager: if they can defeat the Bird of Kildarby, Lord Kildarby (Hal Smith) and his men will leave the castle, but if the birdlike monster defeats them, everyone in New York must leave Manhattan.

Note 1: First released on video by RCA/Columbia's Magic Window division in the spring of 1987, along with "Night Game" and "Lost and Foundry".

Centuries ago, the Codex of Saint Theopolis was lost during a raid on a monastery by bandits. In modern-day New York, Peter and Ray accidentally buy the book at an auction. Janine, on her lunch break, opens the book, not knowing that it contains the spirits of the legendary Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, who wreak havoc upon the city, and ultimately the world. Unable to stop the four specters, the Ghostbusters are joined by a priest from Greece, whose ancient order once protected the Codex of St. Theopolis, since it was St. Theopolis who imprisoned the Four Horsemen 1,000 years ago. The Ghostbusters must journey to Greece to acquire a special ring/seal before the world ends.

Escaping from the Ghostbusters, a ghost gets merged with a pot of molten steel at a foundry, and ends up getting turned into a variety of everyday items: steel girders, a refrigerator, a steel pole, nails, food cans, a power cable, even a work of neo-Impressionist art, bringing them to life in order to make itself whole once again. The Ghostbusters chase down the inanimate objects to a junk yard, where the different metal pieces have come together to form a giant metal monster. The Ghostbusters trap it using a magnet, and then melt the metal back down in order to free the ghost so that they can trap him regularly.

Bullied boy Kenny Fenderman (R. J. Williams) gets made a junior Ghostbuster, which Peter thinks is more of a game and joke to the boy. The other kids want him to prove himself by staying overnight in a house believed to be haunted. What's more is that Kenny was given an untested device of Egon's, by Peter, that could hurt him more than help. The guys track down Kenny at the haunted mansion, come face-to-face with a ghostly general and his minions, and need Kenny's help to stop the ghost once and for all.

When Necksa, lord and ruler of the undines, declares war against the air-breathers for their constant pollution of the seas, the Ghostbusters are hard-pressed to stop him before he drowns the city.
