I would love it to come back to Netflix UK. I’ll watch it all this time, I promise! I’ve gotten tons out of this watch through… [Station Identification](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/real-ghostbusters/station-identification) was much stronger than I remembered. It was broadcast in two segments on UK Saturday morning TV and my VHS recording ran out before I caught the second part… so I don’t think I ever saw past the ghostbusters being sucked into the TV. I think the episode is a good example of why the show is praised and showcases the breadth of the concept - because if you had a Buffy-style live action Ghostbusters show on Netflix, a haunted TV set and especially the creepy clown ghost towards the end of the show, would translate extremely well either as a monster-of-the-week or building as a season long arc. [Real Ghostbusters](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/games/the-real-ghostbusters-activison) laid a ton of groundwork for any new series to build from. I hope we see some sort of series following [Afterlife](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/ghostbusters-afterlife). For instance, it would be a great way to set the series back in New York with fresh characters and separate to the movie canon, thereby freeing the movies to go off in whatever creative direction [Ghost Corp](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/uncategorized/ghost-corps) wants. ---

While Sony is one of the big companies that’s been continually pushing Blu-ray (despite the fact plenty of people still prefer DVD), the quality of the series even after it was remastered for the TimeLife set is still only “good”, and not the “great” I’d expect to be used for/justify a Blu-ray release. > > > > It may be possible to improve it a little more by AI/digital upscaling, though that’d take time to process and may be deemed too costly in the long run… That may be the only way to get some improvement on marred broadcast copies that the TimeLife team used, in the absence of true masters of the original episodes. > > Yeah, I doubt there is an audience to justify a remaster - especially given The Simpsons didn’t get that treatment. > > I just meant to reduce the number of discs required in a full series set. As I think we agreed in another thread - just re-using the Time-Life files but removing those pesky ad-breaks would be a huge improvement and incentive to buy a new set. Plus a lot of fans missed out on the TL set first time round. I would not be surprised if we get a remaster once machine learning improves enough to makes it cheap for sony. ---

I think we’re a good decade out from that tech being good enough for commercial upscaling. If it ever gets there. In the meantime, I should have another 4K still from the intro ready soon. 😉 ---

Guys not sure on the animated series, but Ghostbusters is going to Peacock for now. Just announced today. Bleh. I don’t care for Peacock. ---

It was broadcast in two segments on UK Saturday morning TV and my VHS recording ran out before I caught the second part… so I don’t think I ever saw past the ghostbusters being sucked into the TV. We were able to recoed the full broadcast on our Betamax, but it was revealing seeing it on the TimeLife set for the first time and seeing how much stuff was cut out. I loved the creepy Star Trek parody. The writing and concepts on the episode were really great, it’s just a pity the animation quality was so sub-standard. ---

So you…time shifted a public recording you say? Nice. Yeah I wish the copies of RGB available were of higher quality, but they’re not unwatchable thankfully. ---

There’s still the possibility they’ll bring them back Sept / Oct. But it was fun for them to do this. Great marketing. I’ll continue to double bill them every Saturday morning in my own time. ---

Just be aware that the youtube playlists of both RGB and XGB miss episodes 12, but they are in the channel uploads. [Previous page](https://forum.gbfans.com/t/real-and-extreme-ghostbusters-episodes-to-depart-from-youtube-channel/24850.md?page=1)
