A suffusion of yellow
Kinda, the 70’s live action ghostbusters lasted one season and was defunct by 1984 when Reitman and Ramis came up with their idea and bought the name to stave off being sued. The two cartoons that followed both leveraged the success of the 1984 movie Not the orignal 70’s show - but only one was the Real Ghostbusters (despite not being the original ghostbuster )I agree with you on this.
However, in the interest of fairness I feel compelled to point out that Reitman and Ramis kind of did something similar. They bought the name from Filmation who were already using it for a completely unrelated TV show. They didn't try to pass it off as the same thing like Feig did, but like Feig they did confusingly use the name of an unrelated franchise.
