>15. Merchandising really took off with the 1986 cartoon The Real Ghostbusters, which ran for seven seasons and led to a Kenner toy line and Marvel comic book. While the series used music and character names from the movie, the cast was purposely drawn to not resemble the actors to avoid having to pay “likeness rights.” But that wasn’t the only change. “The Real Ghostbusters was hit hard by 1980s standards and practices for children’s television,” Wallace tells Yahoo, “and Ghostbuster secretary Janine Melnitz was forcibly redesigned with a softer and more 'motherly’ look.”

Holy shit it's true.
