Stephen Harber Den of Geek J. Michael Straczynski was on fire when he wrote "Citizen Ghost." Not literally, I hope. Figuratively speaking, though, I can picture him looking like the the Human Torch while sitting at his keyboard. May 6, 2019 Full Review Phil Pirrello IGN Movies The animation style holds up, if not supersedes, recent efforts... The byplay between the GB's finds a solid balance and maintains a loyal connection to the characters established in the films. Rated: 8/10 May 6, 2019 Full Review Will Harris Bullz-Eye.com What made The Real Ghostbusters such a successful animated adaptation? Not to belittle anyone else involved in the series, since it was a very talented crew across the board, but it really comes down to one man: J. Michael Straczynski. Rated: 4.5/5 May 6, 2019 Full Review Mark Oakley Den of Geek Bloody good fun as well as providing young kids with an insight into what is now classic geeklore. May 6, 2019 Full Review Jenny Nixon Common Sense Media It's merely OK, and definitely dated. But for true Ghostbuster devotees, it can be fun to see how the show expands on (and in some ways, rewrites) the mythology of the original movies Rated: 3/5 May 6, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 4/5 Stars •Rated 4 out of 5 stars03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Often corny, looking back at it now. However, a lot of episodes are classics.
