Let's see... a ghost hunting crew that's essentially a comedic analogy of working men being important to society, or giant turtles who were initially badass but then tailored to sell lunchboxes by the billions...

I was never really a Ghostbusters fan as a kid.
I was, however, a huge Ninja Turtles fan. -The films -The original cartoons -The reboot cartoons -The toys -The videogames -The children All of the Ninja Turtles versions are just generally better in my opinion. Especially the Original Cartoons and The Videogames. The Toys were pretty kick-ass and inventive also. |

I actually kind of liked Extreme Ghostbusters. The new cast wasn't exactly great, especially how over the top PC it was. Still, it had a tone that was pretty consistent with the original. Keeping Egon and Slimer around obviously helped.
I remember when the original cast returned for a major episode. That was great. |

Things to think about:
-The films: Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II are probably better films than the Ninja Turtles films. However, the first two Turtles films probably played a bigger part in my childhood and hold greater nostalgic value for me. The third Turtles film I barely remember, and I never saw the newest one. -The original cartoons: No contest here. Loved the Ghostbusters, but they were no Ninja Turtles. -The reboot cartoons: Never really watched any reboot cartoons. Saw a few episodes of the modern TMNT series, and it seemed pretty good. -The toys: No doubt about it, Ninja Turtles had this one as well. -The videogames: I think the only Ghostbusters game I ever played was Ghostbuster II for the PC and it was pretty much impossible to beat. I still loved to play it as a kid though. Turtles wins this one too though. "Who turned out the lights" - 'Nuff said -The children: Not sure what this means. So, Final Verdict: Ninja Turtles easily wins in every aspect except for the films. |

Thinking of the children, I would want to expose my children to the original Ninja Turtles cartoon as soon as possible so that they can learn the fundamentals of kung-fu fighting and the nutritious deliciousness of pizza.

I'm voting overall, and not really using this criteria. I figured I'd do it up though since other people were
-The films: Easily Ghostbusters. I do love the first Ninja Turtles movie, but Ghostbusters by far. -The original cartoons- Probably a tie -The reboot cartoons- I liked Extreme Ghostbusters well enough. The new Ninja Turtles seems good but was past my time. I'll give TMNT benefit of the doubt and call this a tie. -The toys- Ninja Turtles wins this. Ghostbusters toys were no slouch, but the Ninja Turtles toy line was pretty incredible. -The videogames- Ninja Turtles probably had this locked up until recently. The TMNT and Ghostbusters game on NES were all pretty awful. Ninja Turtles had the awesome beat em up arcade games though. The Ghostbusters video game that came out last year was so incredible that I have to award them the points. -The children- I liked Ghostbusters more as a kid, and I like them more as an adult. |

Ghostbusters is a good way to get them to shut the fuck about ghosts and monsters in their closet

I was never really "into" the Turtles as a kid. Sure, I saw the movies, watched the cartoon sometimes and had a few toys, but I always preferred the Ghostbusters franchise. I actually didn't have any Ghostbusters toys, though I had the NES games.
The Turtles' games are easily superior to any and all Ghostbusters games, outside of the current gen one, which is easily the best movie-based video game ever made. Even taking everything into account and taking my personal bias out of the equation, I think the Ghostbusters win on the first movie alone. |

Turtles would have won this hands down as a kid. Now Ghostbusters wins because the films are the only thing that I would factor into my decision. I'm going to vote for TMNT because I think overall in my life I spent more time playing with or watching Turtle-related things than Ghostbuster things.

-The films
Ghostbusters 1= Ghostbusters 2= Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles= TMNT 2: Secret of the Ooze= TMNT 3= Winner=Ghostbusters, because they didn't make a lesser 3rd movie, yet. -The original cartoons Ghostbusters was a great cartoon while growing up, but there's only so much you can do with the "paranormal" and what have you. TMNT was just amazing. It caught me from the start and kept me hooked for years on end. Granted it's harder to find the original TMNT cartoon on dvd than it is Ghostbusters, it still takes the cake. Winner=TMNT -The reboot cartoons WARNING INCOMING GAME?? -The toys Ghostbusters had some fun toys. The PKE meter, the proton pack, the firehouse playset, but as far as characters went, it was kind of limited. TMNT had a shit ton of toys. Every turtle had at least 20-30 variations whether it was beach squirters, undercover, transforming cars, movie stars, wind'em up action, mutating, past warriors, or what have you. Plus they had tons of supporting characters to go with it. Also, Usagi Yojimbo=fucking win! Winner=TMNT -The videogames Ghostbusters on the NES was a real bitch, but the game that came out last year on next gen was just brilliance IMO. Even if the multiplayer is dead as shit and the game is glitched to where you can't get all the most wanted ghosts, I absolutely love that game. TMNT on the NES was a pain in the dick. Those damned underwater bombs were bullshit. However, Turtles in Time (the snes version not that xbla shit), TMNT 1989 Arcade, and TMNT Tournament Fighters were just badass. Winner=Push So clearly I'd have to say TMNT was the better 4-some. |

The first Ninja Turtles movie is probably my favorite all time. The turtles are inherently awesome, and the movie had a gritty feeling to it that I think they moved away from in the second and third movies. The first film had a nice blend of comedy and bad assness to the turtles. Ghostbusters is a classic flick in its own right, but turtles hands down.
Huge fan of the turtles cartoon growing up, toys, etc. Love them. Turtles ftw. |

I can't deny that the first Ninja Turtles movie is a gem. A bit underrated I'd even say. Still, Ghostbusters is so classic that I have to give it the nod.
For whatever reason I was more often drawn to the Ghostbusters too |

also, as an owner of the Ghostbusters Ecto 1 and House with the roof you could poor slime from, i'd say the Ghostbusters had the better toyline.
