It's that time again, folks and frankly, we're a little embarrassed that it took this long to pay homage to The Real Ghostbusters (and Slimer)! Introduced in 1986 as a follow-up to the iconic 1984 film, this show featured the voice talents of many who would go on to star in other hits of the era, including Dave Coulier (Full House, America's Funniest People), Arsenio Hall (Coming to America, The Arsenio Hall Show), and Toronto's own Maurice LaMarche (Animaniacs/Pinky and the Brain). While the show itself had many memorable moments (and some that were/ still are genuinely frightening, like the Boogie Man episode), we of course most fondly remember the tie-in toy line from Kenner, with "fright features", slime (that was the bane of our family carpets), and still wanting to get our hands on a Firehouse playset, and the Proton Pack!
