1 Doctor, Doctor
9/13/86
The Ghostbusters have to go to the hospital after a job at a chemical plant. The bust at the plant causes a strange chemical to cover the guys, which results in a thick-layer of slime and muck to cover everything but their heads. What's more, the slime seems to react to Slimer in a very unusual way, and the doctors at the hospital are less than helpful in dealing with something they have never seen before. The Ghostbusters eventually realize that the slime is actually part of the ghost they tried to bust at the chemical plant, and that it needs ecto-plasm to survive. Which it why it goes after Slimer. Now the guys have to save Slimer before he is eaten.

This show is very much a product of its time but it holds up pretty well. Four stars because it sometimes just gets a little *too* corny but I'm honestly being picky. I'm not a rabid fan of the franchise but this is a good watch on a lazy Saturday with a 12 pack of Ecto-Cooler. Watch the two-part episode where Egon dies-- I dare you not to cry.

Cool but pricey and does not include every episode. I am a long time fan. Always have been and always will be. Cool because it is my absolute favourite. Not cool because the episode selection is limited.

Sony decided not to release every single episode and that is why I am giving it two stars. Sony dropped the ball with this digital release and making this an incomplete series was wrong. Sony should have did the digital release by seasons instead of volumes that are like the 2016 DVD releases. Yes, there are five more episodes included in the digital release that the 2016 DVD volumes didn't have. However, making this an incomplete series was wrong on all levels.
