(Moved to the Animation forum)
To repeat some of what I wrote on the GBwiki:
I'd known the dates in the log I'd started keeping in 1988 didn't match TV.com, especially in the 1989 season, but other than using "my" order in the Timeline, and a discussion in PMs with Miss Janine (who'd noticed the same thing I had) decided not to make any fuss about it. I mean, who's gonna believe a nerd with notes over TV.com, right?
Well, obviously, now that ozzy and mrmichaelt brought it up, it was time to talk.
This is what my notes said. I didn't keep track of the Slimer cartoons because I thought they sucked and hated them. If a block doesn't add up to a whole hour, there were Slimer cartoons and/or reruns involved.
1988 Season:
910: "The Joke's On Ray" 917: "Flipside" 924: "Poultrygeist" (1001: A rerun of "Slimer, Is That You?" It would, as I recall, air here every time in the rotation all year) 1008: "Standing Room Only" 1015: "Robo Buster" 1022: "Short Stuff" (No idea about 1029) 1105: "Follow That Hearse" (No idea about 1112) 1119: "The Brooklyn Triangle"
1989 Season
Yeah, here's the cluster. If a day's worth doesn't add up to an hour, it's because part of it (usually the last part) was comprised of a reruns, often of Slimer episodes
909: "Trancendental Tourist", "Something's Going Around" 916: "Trading Faces", "Elementary, My Dear Winston" 923: "Slimer's Curse", "Partners In Slime" 930: "Til Death Do Us Part" 1007: "Three Men And An Egon" 1014: "Kitty Cornered" 1021: "If I Were A Witch Man" 1028: "It's About Time" 1029: "The Halloween Door" 1104: "Jailbusters" 1111: "Surely You Joust", "Future Tense" 1118: "Venk-Man!" 1125: "Loose Screws" 1202: "The Ghostbusters Live From Al Capone's Tomb" 1209: "Revenge of the Ghost Master" 1216: "Slimer Streak" 1223: "The Ransom of Greenspud"
I can also add support from a PM I got once from Rose Prevost/"Miss Janine", when the issue came up in our discussions once:
<subject>Re: Great find (I think!)</subject> <sender>Miss Janine</sender> <date>March 12th, 2008, 6:32 pm</date> <message>OK, here's what I have: Sept 9 89 Transcendental Tourists Something's Going Around 9/16/89 Trading Faces Elementary, My Dear Winston 9/23/89 Slimer's Curse Partners In Slime 9/30/89 Till Death Do Us Part 10/7/89 Three Men and An Egon 10/14/89 Kitty-Cornered 10/21/89 If I Were A Witch Man 10/28/89 It's About Time 10/29/89 (Sunday) The Halloween Door (I even have the original TV Guide ad for this ep) 11/4/89 Jailbusters 11/11/89 Surely You Joust Future Tense 11/18/89 Venk-Man! 11/24/89 Loose Screws 12/2/89 Live From Al Capone's Tomb 12/9/89 Revenge of the Ghostmaster 12/16/89 Slimer Streak 12/23/89 The Ransom of Greenspud In other words, you were pretty much on the nose.</message> </privmsg> - <privmsg>
1990 Season
Once again, if it doesn't add up to an hour, reruns were involved
908: "Janine, You've Changed", "You Can't Teach An Old Ghost New Tricks" 915: "The Haunting of Heck House", "Ghostworld" 922: "Mean Green Teen Machine", "Spacebusters" 929: ""My Left Fang" 1006: "Russian About", "The Slob" 1013: "Deja Boo" (Hourlong) 1020: "Afterlife In the Fast Lane" 1027: "Guess What's Coming To Dinner?" 1103: "Stay Tooned" 1110: "Very Beast Friend" 1117: "Busters In Toyland" 1124: "The Magnificent Five"
1991 Season
907: "The Treasure of the Sierra Tamale" 914: "Not Now, Slimer" 921: "Attack Of The B-Movie Monsters" (Nothing listed on 928, believed to have been preempted that week) 1005: "20,000 Leagues Under The Street"
