Remember how there were two completely unrelated Ghostbusters cartoon shows in 1986 (hexbear.net)

Ghostbusters, also called Filmation's Ghostbusters, was the sequel to the 1975 live action kids' show The Ghost Busters; and The Real Ghostbusters was the sequel to the 1984 film Ghostbusters starring Dan Aykroyd. These two cartoons had diddly squat to do with each other except that they both involved busting ghosts, yet the whole naming issue nevertheless still ended up impacting me 20+ years after the respective cartoons came out, as my parents ended up buying me the wrong one as a kid. And so I said while looking at my chonky iPod Classic on a plane over the Atlantic in the 2000s, "Who the heck are these people?! WHY'S THERE A GORILLA?!"

…I don't know if I'm really going anywhere with this other than Copyright Delenda Est.
