Well,
No money no fun, right? ;D
I mean: was Zero financing them in the first place? It doesn't seem like Jake and Eddie had second jobs or something along that line. So what?
My guess is that Zero paid them for their services. And VERY GOOD, even.
On the other hand, they must have left their sons quite an amount of money, because the juniors didn't need to do additional work other than the usual ghostbusting.

While I'm not disagreeing with Zero perhaps paying the boys. They did however do jobs in the cartoon unrelated to Prime Evil. Also, In Father Knows Beast that the Sr. GB's flying out of country to help them, and my theory is that the sr. GB's may had built up the company by the the 70's as it was in 46 that they beat Slort. It looked that while most of the time they were working under the guidance of Zero, it doesn't mean he paid them. I'm sure that some of the cases, they got paid.

I didn't get what you meant, Devy. Wow, that is what I get for rushing through this to get offline. lol I'll try to explain a bit better. Well in "Father Knows Beast" the Sr. Ghostbusters had been said to have been there 40 years ago (assuming the cartoon is 1986, that means 1946 is when it happened). Two things to note from this: -The Sr. Ghostbusters were in business back in 1946 which means the passage of time to 1975 was 29 years. A lot of time to bust ghosts and make money. -Second, that means not all they cases were in that castle near the cemetery, and that may mean Zero was not always part of it. It without a doubt suggests they did jobs outside of the places we saw in the 1975 LA series. Note, everything here is based on one episode. Wish I had more to back myself up with. Hope that makes more cents lol |

-Second, that means not all they cases were in that castle near the cemetery, and that may mean Zero was not always part of it. It without a doubt suggests they did jobs outside of the places we saw in the 1975 LA series. Or, perhaps, their mission was almost complete by 1975. Zero was just sending them out to mop up the stragglers [which may indicate that he was somehow "nudging" the ghosts towards the haunted castle, but I still say that they had to go there to recharge.] BUT, BUT, I got another one for you. Can we safely surmise that they didn't have the Dematerializer at the time they defeated Slort? As in, Zero didn't give it to them yet because it wasn't finished (a few bugs to work out)? This would explain why they used a bunch of gadgets that didn't seem to work too well...that's what they started out with--a magic ring, a Ghost Post, and a device that seemed to be made from a vacuum cleaner and an old radio. Now, Zero *did* send them Tracy, or else how could they have built those gadgets? |

Here's another brainwave for all of you to consider:
It's true that Spenser, Tracy, and Kong do call themselves "Ghost Busters," but they don't specialize exclusively in ghosts--they go after pretty much any supernatural/paranormal threat. It just so happens that most of these threats are, in fact, ghosts.

What about these gadgets? When did they use them? I don't quite remember... |

I wish they made a movie in 75 of the FGB75 cast fighting Slort the troll! I could picture it a bit more serious, but still with comedy, like the show.
By the way: Tracy built the Dematerializer, right?

According to the GB-86 series bible, the idea was for Tracy to have built all the equipment. However, Tracy had neither plans, nor a prototype, nor a backup, so they couldn't lose or allow the thing to get damaged.
Thankfully, this idea didn't get carried across too much as the series concept evolved.

Yeah, that's why I don't consider the series bible being *CANON*.

Thankfully, this idea didn't get carried across too much as the series concept evolved. In all honesty, there is no proof to either prove or disprove Tracy as weapon maker. However, looking at "Father Knows Beast"(Yeah this episode gets a lot of canon mileage ;D ) one could conclude that Tracy may not have always been with the original team based on how Slort treated him. That means that some of the weapons used by the OGB were not conceived by Tracy. However, that doesn't mean to some degree he didn't update the dematerializer, as suggested in "Back To The Past". He is also the only Ghostbuster in FGB to be able to fix the dematerializer as seen in "Mummy Dearest". |
