The episodes started showing Red proton streams in the Episodes: The Jokes On Ray, Poultrygeist, Robo Buster, Short Stuff, Follow That Hearse, Flip Side, Standing Room Only, and The Brooklyn Triangle. These aired in 88 just before Ghostbusters 2. Then in the following season they changed the streams back to yellow and other colors. But these 8 episodes are the only ones where the proton streams were exclusively red. I couldn't tell you why they made the change though.
Thanks for the info, I thought Season 4 was shown in 89. Season 4 looked like it had the most money spent on it but not sure why they made that change. Looking at the air dates for episodes on wiki and it says that Season 3 was actually shown with Season 2? Really?
There has been some disagreement over the years as to what seasons mean which--the 1986 stuff on ABC is the only one not in dispute--it's Season 1
1987 Syndicated: Has been called both part of Season 1, or more commonly Season 2
1987 ABC: Has been called both Season 2 and Season 3 (Season 3 is more common at this point)
(The 1987 episodes basically aired concurrently; it wasn't until "Janine You've Changed" that we had an in-universe statement that the Syndicated episodes took place first.)
1988 ABC: Season 3 or more commonly Season 4
1989 ABC: Season 4 or more commonly Season 5
1990 ABC: Season 5 or more commonly Season 6
1991 ABC: Season 6 or more commonly Season 7
I used to favor the former set of options, and GBN used it, but the latter has basically won out in the consensus--it was used on the Time-Life set and the GBWiki. But some sources may still use the less common notation.
