Considering that this show WAS based off the old series staying Larry Storch and both this and the "Real Ghostbusters" cartoon (which WAS based on the hit movie) were released as roughly the same time it wasn't really a copy of either the original Ghostbusters movie nor the other cartoon. However, it was a pretty cheap way to capitalize on the success of the movie and its name recognition. I mean, do you think we'd see a remake of the original Filmation series if it wasn't for the big success of the completely unrelated movie of the same name? Thankfully, the producers of the other, much better series cleared things up with the "Real" prefix to the title.
That having been said, I don't remember this series being really any good. I do remember being a bit confused as a kid as to why the ghostbusters were a bunch of stupid kids with a darn talking bat. Soon though, kids realized the series wasn't the real deal and watched the real one.
