TV Show: Space Ghost and Dino Boy ( 1966 )

They both sport jetpacks that allow them to fly and inviso belts that turn them invisable. They also have communicators that allow them to contact Space Ghost. And finally there is Blip, a pet of the Space Ghost crew that also sports the jetpack and inviso belt. Blip does his share of getting everyone into and out of trouble. The Space Ghost crew is based out of the Ghost Planet. From there, they patrol a small sector of space with the Phantom Cruiser (sometimes refered to as the Ghost Ship).

Like the film, the series spawned its own animated sequel in 1986.Spencer, Tracy, and Kong billed themselves as "The Ghost Busters", bumbling paranormal detectives. Kong (Tucker) was the leader of the trio with Spencer (Storch) as his partner, and Tracy (a gorilla, played by Burns) as their assistant who also drove their barely-functional jalopy. Their headquarters was situated in a run down office building in an unspecified city (Spencer's name on the door was misspelled "Spenser" while the opening credits spelled his name "Spencer"). Outside of normal office equipment, plus a large armoire on which Tracy hung numerous hats including his trademark beanie, the office itself was also dilapidated, with peeling wallpaper and a pay phone near the door as the Ghost Busters' only means of communicating with prospective clients.
