	Did David Wise even write for ''The Real Ghostbusters''?

			:The episode in question, "Adventures in Slime and Space," was written by David Gerrold. I think Zob may have assumed it was a pseudonym for Wise (who did sell that script repeatedly ~that timeframe) but David Gerrold is actually the same guy who wrote ''The Trouble with Tribbles,'' so I have to chalk up the uncanny similarity to coincidence.

			So no, I don't think Wise ever worked on RGB. -[[User:Derik\|Derik]] 04:50, 25 November 2009 (EST)
