About The Real Ghostbusters
The Real Ghostbusters picks up after the 1984 film and ran for 140 episodes from 1986 to 1991, shifting to the Slimer! and the Real Ghostbusters format in 1988. Extreme Ghostbusters (1997) jumps ahead years later, with Egon training four college students as replacements across 40 episodes.
The sequel assumes you know the original team, so air order doubles as story order.
Good to know
Watch in air order, since Extreme Ghostbusters is a direct sequel that builds on the original run. The two-part finale Back in the Saddle brings the surviving original team back together.
