What happens
The Ghost Busters is a live-action children's sitcom that ran on CBS in 1975, about a team of bumbling detectives who investigate ghostly occurrences. The show reunited Forrest Tucker and Larry Storch in slapstick roles similar to their characters in F Troop, and featured a third actor, Bob Burns, in a gorilla suit as their partner. The series of fifteen episodes centered on the perpetual bumbling of the characters, good and evil alike. Character names referenced classic cinema, with both "Spencer" and "Tracy" alluding to actor Spencer Tracy, while "Kong" – not given to the gorilla – was a homage to King Kong. After Columbia Pictures paid to license the Filmation series name for their (unrelated) 1984 film Ghostbusters, Filmation revived its series with an animated sequel in 1986.
