The Ghost Busters was a live-action children's television series that ran from 1975 to 1976 and was not affiliated with the similarly-titled 1984 movie (it must be noted, however, that this show's producers, Filmation, got paid by Columbia Pictures for the title of the movie).

It starred Forrest Tucker as Jake Kong, Larry Storch as Eddie Spenser, and Bob Burns as Tracy the Gorilla. Its characters were later incorporated in to a cartoon television series, also called The Original Ghostbusters, which ran from 1986 to 1988.

Each episode would always begin with one of the characters stopping in a convenience store to pick up the tape recording that explained the mission they would have to go on in the episode. The tape would always be hidden inside a common object, such as a bicycle or a typewriter. The tape would always end with the statement, "This tape will self-destruct in five seconds," very much like Mission Impossible.
