The Real Ghostbusters Advertising are made by the Network or the station. Usually for television they consisted of clips from the show. Printed advertisements were rare, but based in a synopsis of the series, and in the cause of The Halloween Door included a illustration.
History[]
Some early advertisements even used the Pilot, even though the full pilot was never shown.
List of Television Advertisements[]
There were many advertisements, and some put a local spin to the ads. Also, ABC in some of the seasons would do "Today" advertisements that feature some footage from the new episode premiering that day. Not to be confused with Commercial Bumpers.
