> YOU wrote for The Real Ghostbusters?
Wrote for it, heck, I story edited the first network season and
the syndicated season *simultaneously*, for a total of 78 episodes, and
wrote 22 episodes (5 of which came after that first season) including
the Halloween ABC special for which I wrote a couple of songs. It was
a great deal of fun to work on, until they messed up Janine, which is
why I left. Later, when they realized that had been an error, they
asked me to write some more with her pretty much as she had been, and
then to fix the continuity error in an episode called "Janine, You've
Changed."
Some of the ones I wrote were Xmas Marks the Spot, Mr. Sandman
Dream Me a Dream, Citizen Ghost, Ragnarok and Roll, The Thing in Mrs.
Faversham's Attic, No One Comes to Lupusville, Chicken He Clucked,
Doctor Doctor, and a bunch of others.
TRGBs is now playing on syndication again, in the Amazing
Adventures package...uncut, as far as I can tell. (I think it airs
Sundays at 2:30 here in LA.) It was a hoot, and it's one of the things
I'm still very proud of.

BTW, when they did the second season without me, they introduced
the odious "Junior Ghostbusters," and at one point asked me if I'd be
willing to write a script using them.
"Only if I get to drive a truck over them," I replied.
They never asked me again.

Thanks...yeah, wrote two other books, OtherSyde (novel) and an
anthology, Tales from the New Twilight Zone, as well as short stories
appearing in Pulphouse, Amazing Stories, Midnight Grafitti, Shadows 6,
and a brand new (and rather long) story coming out next Spring in the
Death Out West anthology edited by Martin Harry Greenberg
(mystery/crime stories), called "We Killed Them in the Ratings."

Yeah, "Dream Me a Life" was one of my TZs and as it happens one
of the TZs I'm most proud of, followed by "The Mind of Simon Foster,"
"Our Selena is Dying" and "Rendezvous in a Dark Place." Eddie Albert
did a terrific job in "Dream."

"Selena" is the one I wrote based on Rod's outline.

I'm open to all sorts of fiction prospects down the road, once
the show is out of production.

Collecting which short stories? Mine? Eventually...when there
are enough of them for a collection.
