More proof that Hollywood is intent on riuining it’s past - and has run out of talent and ideas.

Boy, no kidding. I really wish they had gotten something together before Harold Ramis died.

The great irony here is that there was a very successful “The Real Ghost Busters” animated series, with really good writing, by Dan Akroyd, Harold Ramis, J. Michael Straczynski (of Babylon 5 fame), and a whole bunch of other writers. Many of their stories were so good they are considered canon in the series.
It was also rather serious themed, and rather dark. NYC seemed to be mostly depopulated, and the overall mood was that the Ghost Busters were winning their battles, but losing “the war”, heading to apocalypse and the end of the world.
In any event, after doing that groundbreaking series, the network screwed it up horribly by trying to make it more child friendly. “Slimer and The Real Ghost Busters” was an utter mess.
But there was still some redemption there. Some years later, they made a *new* series, called “Extreme Ghostbusters”, but still with writing by Akroyd and Ramis. By this point, NYC was in ruins, and it was obvious that the Ghostbusters were the last chance to save the world.
Bottom line, there are 10 or more top notch movies worth of writing here, which they would be fools to ignore.
