(More customer reviews)After waiting patiently, Time Life has finally been putting out the single volume releases of The Real Ghostbusters cartoons. And I must say, It's about time. On to the review...
There are 5 discs to volume 3 for a total of 31 episodes. The series picks up the rest of the Syndicated season and continues through the 2nd and 3rd original seasons. There are 15 on-camera introductions from the episode writers which are very short, but done well given that each episode are their own. Each episode is exactly like it was when it was aired, each with the logo talking, "The Real Ghostbusters will return after these messages." I'm very happy Time Life kept that in...
The overall picture quality is very good and to be expected of a 20 year old cartoon. It says on the back of the box that they are remastered, and I don't think they could look any better than they are presented in this collection unless Time Life decides to put them on Blu-Ray. I honestly think that won't happen. You never know though...
The sound quality is also very good. It is presented in Dobly Digital 2.0 if I'm not mistaken. Each episode has its distinct feel of eeriness, and that's one of the reasons why this show still holds up today. Within season 3, (at least I think it is season 3), the voice of Peter Venkman changes from The Great Lorenzo Music,(the voice of Garfield), to Dave Coulier, (Joey from Full House). It is a noticeable change for those who preferred Lorenzo better. That is not to say the show isn't good without him. I myself still prefer Lorenzo over Dave. To each his own though...
As for special features, there is an image gallery for the characters, an image gallery for their equipment, 5 isolated music and effects tracks for specific episodes, 5 on-camera Visual Commentary tracks with the writes and artists for specified episodes, and a special episode long documentary entitled, "Who You Gonna Call? The Heroes of The Real Ghosbusters." A very good supplemental package.
In closing, this is a very good dvd set of a very good show. If you were hesitant to pick up the Time Life Set of all volumes, (like I was), you will find that these individual sets are cheaper in the long run. You may have to wait a bit longer for the last 2 volumes, but I find it is well worth waiting for. Hope this review helped out.
