now i know it will be a little one sided here but it not really a i like this show better that why they win this is in ways the get the ghost how they work as a team and how many ghost the catch now i say RGB(not cause i like them better even though i do but back to the point) wins this because even though i do like FGB RGB got the job really done because no offense FGB did not get the job done because the same ghosts would just come back in the next episode the RGB made sure that the ghost wouldent come back now i love both ghostbusters teams RGB i belive got thee job done better what do you all think

Oh the old RGB vs. FGB topic. ;D
Interesting thoughts, though it could be argued that most ghosts that are the repeating Prime Evil crew, may in RGB terms be like a class 7 or 8. They are not weak spirits.
I'd also argue that there is no real science in FGB, mostly more like magic. The RGB mostly rely on science. Two different ways of thinking and fighting ghosts.
The ghosts in FGB were not kept in a prison in they basement, and were just sent back to the great beyond. Egon in the RGB even stressed that they are running out of room, and noted throughout the series there was a active search to send the ghosts back to the ghostworld. So in that sense, FGB beat them to the punch.
Prime Good, Nix, any ideas or thoughts here?

There is no winner between the two, they are so different. They (the franchises) both win.
FGB1975 single-handedly created the concept, the logo, the machinery and everything which followed in the decades to come. It was just pure comic-book/comedy genius turned live action TV.
FGB1986 is a visionary and colorful fantasy piece slightly based on "Masters of the Universe", and there's a small and fascinating sci-fi element in it. I found it to be the more "mysterious" series out of anything marked "Ghostbusters".
The 1984 movie is very sci-fi 'n' SWAT, somehow grounded in reality. It's a terrific classic. I love the movie to the nth degree.
I dig the 1989 sequel too. Very underrated. What's wrong with it?
I just don't like the RGB cartoon. It's horrid, IMHO. A pale, dull version of the movies. The animation is mediocre. I just don't fully understand how this outplayed the FGB cartoon in America.

RE: Syd Morrison
One thing you have to remember: in the 1975 show, the effects of the Dematerializer were permanent.
In the Animated Series, ghosts were able to come back again and again only because of Prime Evil and the Scareway.

FGB1986 is a visionary and colorful fantasy piece slightly based on "Masters of the Universe", and there's a small and fascinating sci-fi element in it. I found it to be the more "mysterious" series out of anything marked "Ghostbusters". YES! Hauntquarters, Ghost Command (and all who live there), GhostBuggy, the Skelevator, the ghostly faces on the episode title screens and when they are changing to go bust ghosts, combined with that glorious music, really makes this true! I dig the 1989 sequel too. Very underrated. What's wrong with it? I think the guy in the painting wasn't written as well as a villain, perhaps. But having said that, I still like it, and I am glad they made it! I am not going to put it down, and if someone tells me they love the painting guy, I won't argue. He's cool, overall - it's just hard to compete with those dogs and Stay Puff!

I think they could have got rid of the Containment Unit so easily... maybe. The Unit is just pure earthling engineering, after all. Syd, give those remaining 31 episodes you don't like a chance!

but in the RGB stay puff is in the contament unit and stay puff was a manafatation of gozer(a form of gozer) .....Sigh..... Being a fan of both, I'll try to debunk this. Stay Puft is in the movie canon (Note there is differences) is gozer's destructor in the movie and the video game. In the cartoon Stay Puft is not gozer. Note Egon saying that they defeated Gozer in Citizen Ghost. There is even debate if the movie as a whole is canon for the animated series as Take Two is noted saying. See this is another serious problem with Colombian Pictures GB's. They decided to treat the animated as a little secondary thing. Its a shame too cause RGB to me is quite an impressive series the first 2 seasons (first 78 episodes). Filmation GB's tries to include its Live Action episodes as canon with the animated series.

but still stay puff is still just as powerful as most of filmatiions ghosts with maybe the exception of prime evil but then samhein is just as powerful as prime evil
and it terms of RGB and the movies to be cannon with eachother i think they are for a couple of clues the RGB PKE and ghost traps are in the GBVG also slimer is showed as a kinda pet in the 89 movie and he is also out of the contament unit in the GBVG in a kind of pet way i have been trying to conncet the RGB and films forever and i think the ony way is to consider take two not cannon if you do that then i belive it could as long as you place them to take place in certain times. my timeline that i worked on is this 1984:GB1984 1985:RGB volume one & two 1986:RGB volume 3 1987:ghostbusters go outta bussness 1989: GB2 1990 :RGB volume 4 & volume 5(mostly placed here because it has louis) 1991: the video game now i waiting to find a place for EGB i waiting to see if GB3 happens to determane cannon or not if GB3 is nor made then 20??EGB
i also have tried to connect FGB and RGB by haveing them in seprate universe like universe 1(SONY GB) and universe 2(FGB) i came up with this for my crossover story i working on

I actually would love to see all the bad guys from both all GB shows get together and make all the GBs work together, and see who busts the most ghosts and settle this once and for all! Belfty and Louis can run around and keep score of all the busting while all our heroes try their very best, and are put to the test like at no other time! It can be written by Lou S and Dan A together.

I've always seen the dysmal RGB disaster like a separate continuity. I mean, in the movie the Containment Unit wasn't a parallel dimension like in the cartoon, but a plausible and realistic construct to contain the ghosts. Or not?
