Talk: Captain N: The Game Master

For all this show's faults - and they are many - the writing is no worse than any of the other shows at the time; it's no worse than some of the writing you got in some of the later episodes of The Real Ghostbusters, and it's certainly no worse than the writing you were getting on Super Mario Bros., or a bit while later, The Legend of Zelda; it was standard 1980's kids fare: there was slapstick physical humour, there were montages with songs (Real Ghostbusters had those all over the place, and so did ThunderCats; it was a thing), and unnecessary moralising, because knowing is half the battle, learning and growing, all that jazz.
