Ghostbusters (1986 TV Series)
''Ghostbusters'' (later called ''Filmation's Ghostbusters'') is a 1986 American animated television series created by Filmation and distributed by Tribune Entertainment, serving as the sequel to Filmation's 1975 live-action television show ''The Ghost Busters''. It is not to be confused with Columbia Pictures' 1984 film ''Ghostbusters'' or that film's subsequent animated television show ''The Real Ghostbusters'', which premiered five days later. When making their film, Columbia Pictures needed to obtain rights to use the name from Filmation. The success of Columbia's (unrelated) film spurred Filmation to resurrect their own property, producing an animated series based on the characters from the earlier TV show. This animated series ran from September 8 to December 5, 1986 in daytime syndication, and produced 65 episodes. The series is technically called simply ''Ghostbusters'', but home video releases used the name ''Filmation's Ghostbusters'' to avoid confusion. In the U.S., rer ...

Fabulous Funnies
''Fabulous Funnies'' is a 1978–1979 American animated children's show produced for Saturday morning television by Filmation. The show aired for one season from September 9, 1978, to December 1, 1978, on NBC, airing 13 episodes. The show was an anthology of stories based on American comic strips, including '' Broom Hilda'', ''Alley Oop'', '' The Captain and the Kids'', '' Nancy'', ''Emmy Lou'' and (for one episode) ''Tumbleweeds''. The character designs closely mimicked the comic strips, so the animators had to animate in several different styles for the program. It was noted by critics that the show's comic potential was blunted by NBC's demand that the show promote pro-social messages for the child audience. This was especially noticeable when rowdy characters like the Katzenjammer Kids were obliged to spread messages of politeness and restraint. The ''Los Angeles Times'' called the show's moralizing "heavy-handed." The Fantastic Funnies In 1980, CBS released a special cal ...

Infomercial
An infomercial is a form of television commercial that resembles regular TV programming yet is intended to promote or sell a product, service or idea. It generally includes a toll-free telephone number or website. Most often used as a form of direct response television (DRTV), they are often ''program-length commercials'' (long-form infomercials), and are typically 28:30 or 58:30 minutes in length. Infomercials are also known as paid programming (or teleshopping in Europe). This phenomenon started in the United States, where infomercials were typically shown overnight (usually 1:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.), outside peak prime time hours for commercial broadcasters. Some television stations chose to air infomercials as an alternative to the former practice of signing off, while other channels air infomercials 24 hours a day. Some stations also choose to air infomercials during the daytime hours, mostly on weekends, to fill in for unscheduled network or syndicated programming. By ...
