History YMMV / FilmationsGhostbusters

* EarWorm: "Let's go, Ghostbusters, let's go! (Let's go, let's go!)"

* EarWorm: The theme song, again. True for the catchy theme of the 1975 series.

* DesignatedVillain: Happened a few times in the 1975 show where the Busters were dedicated to sending the ghosts back...really just because they were ghost. The best example might be the one with the werewolf. Who was trying to find the one thing that could ''cure'' his condition. Information the Busters probably would've liked to have had to use against more malicious werewolves.

* AwesomeArt: As always, this show is full of spectacular Filmation background art.

* HarsherInHindsight: Forrest Tucker who was Jake Kong Sr. died in 1986, the year the animated series came out. It could explain why Pat Fraley was Jake Kong Sr. and Jr. and Peter Cullen was Eddie Spencer Sr. and Jr.

* NightmareFuel: Ironically, the ghosts and baddies in the show itself weren't really all that scary, likely by design. The area of the HQ where the boys suited up featuring weird abstract demonic artwork however, was. It doesn't help that the demonic imagery is featured in the show's {{Episode Title Card}}s and ending credits.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The original 1975 series did very well; it came in second for ratings, right behind another Filmation live-action show, ''The Shazam/Isis Hour''. A second season could have been done but Filmation cancelled it instead to concentrate on the aforementioned show.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: There are alot of jokes that does cross UnfortunateImplications where videos of the 1975 show have the comment "At least the reboot got the gorilla right", obviously referring to Patti from the Film/Ghostbusters2016 reboot.

* EvilIsSexy: Appariia again... same for Mysteria.

* EarWorm: The theme song, again.

* AdaptationDisplacement: The series was meant both to avert and to capitalize on this, being based on the earlier 1975 live action {{Creator/Filmation}} series, but riding on the coat-tails of the wildly popular 1984 Columbia [[Film/{{Ghostbusters}} film]].

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The theme, based on Edvard Grieg’s "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrIYT-MrVaI In the Hall of the Mountain King]]," has been considered this.

* RecycledScript: Becomes really obvious when the same villain pulls off the same plot in two ''consecutive'' episodes, at least in the Netflix playlist order.
** Also, the InsideAComputerSystem episode "Cyman's Revenge" is very similar to the ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983'' episode "Day of the Machines".
** There's a sequence in the episode "Statue of Liberty" in which: The Ghostbusters go up a reeeeeally long flight of stairs (sound familiar?) in pursuit of Mysteria. Mysteria catches up to Eddie and surrounds him with mist. Eddie falls, and Tracy uses the Ghost Gummer to catch him in the nick of time! The sequence was reused in a later episode, replacing Mysteria with a generic orange ghost!

* FetishFuelStationAttendant: Futura.

** Most of the idiot plots could be avoided if anyone involved used their time traveling abilities properly. Admittedly, if taken to the logical limit the series would be an extremely confusing series of temporal {{Xanatos Gambit}}s.
