Dr. Centigrade

Dr. Centigrade was an antagonist on the 1975 Live Action Kids show, ''The Ghost Busters. ''He and his dimwitted henchman, The Abominable Snowman, appeared in the show's fifteenth and final episode, also called 'The Abominable Snowman'.

As the episode begins, Dr. Centigrade, an explorer of the frozen wastes in life, appears with his mentally challenged 'Abominable Snowman', looking to end their frozen afterlife by transplanting a warm living heart into the Snowman, whose very touch freezes anything.

After Jake Kong gets a headache from Eddie Spencer's lame-brained efforts to join the Olympic team, Eddie leaves with Tracy The Gorilla to get their ghost-busting assignment. This proves difficult, as Tracy listens to the self-destructing message before Eddie is in earshot. Tracy attempts to tell Zero's message in pictures, and while Jake and Eddie reason most of it out, the targeted heart is missed in the translation.

Twice, the two groups run into each other in the cemetery, with the dim-witted Snowman either easily escaped or put off through easy trickery. Dr. Centigrade laments that the monster's head is as dense as its fur, but eventually, the Ghost Busters come to the castle, and he manages to separate the dim-witted Eddie Spencer from the others. Planning to take his heart, he sends the Snowman to freeze Tracy and Jake. Tracy manages to trick the Snowman into taking a nap while the heroes sneak in to rescue Eddie. A fight of snowballs and thrown objects becomes a battle of wits between unarmed opponents. Finally, Doctor Centigrade is banished, and then the Snowman sent away by the Ghost De-Materializer, after Jake clears the lens, fouled by the Snowman's freezing touch. After this, the only thing to leave them cold is Eddie's new ambition to place Tracy on the Olympic Poker Team.
