Production notes
While Columbia TV was preparing a weekday morning animated series for ABC based on Ghostbusters (the movie), Filmation prepared this "Ghostbusters" series based on a live-action series, "The Ghost Buster," (which ran Saturday morning on CBS in 1975) for weekday syndication. After an exchange of letters between Columbia TV's and Filmation's lawyers, the Filmation series was renamed "Filmation's Ghostbusters," then "The Original Ghostbusters."
