The Real Ghostbusters is an Emmy-Nominated American animated television series based on the hit 1984 film Sony's Ghostbusters. The series ran from 1986 to 1991, and was produced by Columbia Pictures Television (now Sony Pictures Television), DiC Entertainment and Coca-Cola. Columbia was allowed to use the name Ghostbusters for its cartoon, but added "The Real" to not have the same name as Filmations Ghostbusters. In the episode "The Spirit of Aunt Lois", Dr. Bassingham, a charlatan spiritualist wore an outfit similar to that of Jake Kong. In 1997, the franchise was revived with Extreme Ghostbusters. A group of new Ghostbusters joined Egon, Janine and Slimer, who helped to bridge both cartoons.
