I always have to watch Ghostbusters a few times each year. I loved The Real Ghostbusters where Peter Venkman had Garfield's voice. What's the deal with the fake Ghostbusters cartoon, with the ape? What the hell was that all about? It was horrible!
Ouch, I remember that show on Channel 11 WPIX! It came on just prior to, or after, GI Joe 
. I think that the company that produced it legitimately owned a trademark for the "Ghostbusters" name ... but they didn't have access to the Ghostbusters movie and its IP. So they just cashed in on the name alone. Of course, I should just Google this, but it's more fun to waste everyone's time . IIRC, the lame cartoon actually made it to television screens first...
I wonder, though, if I'd hate the cartoon now. I hated a lot of lame cartoons back in the day, but maybe I'd enjoy some of them now? For example, I hated Captain N. Lame. But now? Maybe it would be good for a laugh? The same goes for Super Mario Brothers crap and other atrocities.
For example, I hated the LAME cartoon that was part of Video Power. Someone (here?) said it was based on characters from Acclaim, but all I remember is an angry turnip. Today, I think I might love the crap out of a cartoon this horrid.
The POWER TEAM.
Yes, they were all Acclaim based characters. Kuros from Wizards and Warriors, Tyrone from the basketball game "Arch Rivals", Kwirk (the turnip you were referring to, Kwirk is a Puzzler on the game boy), Max Force (NARC) and Bigfoot the Monster Truck are the characters.
Ninja! I looked on youtube and couldn't find any episodes or outtakes for Video Power or Power Team. Is there any place I can find something? I saw the intro to VideoPower that is on YouTube, but it must be a later season because it is not what I remember at all.
