A trio of college professors are fired. And so they start their own business.

You probably had no idea that Ghostbusters had such a mundane premise, but essentially, the supernatural heroes are a group of small business owners. On a daily basis, they deal with real estate, publicity, the EPA, budgeting, all that incredible boring economical stuff that goes into running the littlest company that saved the world from ending. Fortunately for them, they don't have a lot of competition, so they can be depended on to be the only ghostbusting business in town. Of course, for some reason, the city they saved seems to magically forget about how much they prevented the world from being sucked into an abyss of evil and abandons them, filing lawsuits until they've been run out of business completely. Until the world starts ending again. At least we know they'll be back, with all new cheap moves.

The Ghostbusters just are regular New Yorkers. More well-versed and experienced in supernatural phenomena, sure. Definitely funnier than regular New Yorkers. But just your typical bunch of New Yorkers, trying to make a living, getting in over their heads, and saving the world.
