EpisodesThe generallyseries centered onfollows the adventures of ghostly con-man Beetlejuice, and his best friend Lydia, and their supernatural adventures together in both the Neitherworld and the "mortal world", athe [[New England]] town calledof Peaceful Pines ("Winter River" in the film). As in the film, Lydia could summon Beetlejuice out offrom the Neitherworld (or go there herself) by calling his name three times. The series' humor relied heavily on [[slapstick|sight gags]], [[wordplay]], and [[allusiveness]]. Many episodes, especiallynotably towards the end of the series' run, were [[Parody|parodies]] of famous movies, books, and TV shows. The episode "Brides of Funkenstein" was based on an idea submitted by a then-teenage girl, who was a fan of the show.<ref name=bangor>{{cite news|last=Gagnon|first=Dawn|title='Beetlejuice' Buys A Madawaska Teen's Idea|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=dbFJAAAAIBAJ&sjid=yg4NAAAAIBAJ&pg=5846,2750412|access-date=7 October 2011|newspaper=[[Bangor Daily News]]|date=September 25, 1991|pages=17, 18}}</ref>

* '''''Beetlejuice''''' (voiced by [[Stephen Ouimette]]) is a [[ghost]] and the main and titletitular character of the show, who enjoys eating bugs and is known throughout the Neitherworld as a prankster and was named after the star [[Betelgeuse]]. HeHis personality is thetoned oldestdown sonin ofthe Gnatseries, and Beehe Juiceis (whonot nagas himvulgar toas gethe ais jobin andthe tofilm. keepAnother clean,difference andfrom whothe alwaysfilm addressis himthat ashe "Junior"),is Lydia's friend and heis hasnot aantagonistic.

Almost all ofHowever, his transformationspowers maintaincan thebe black-and-whitereduced stripedby patternvarious hecircumstances, wearssuch onas hiswhen suit,he althoughis sometimesafraid theor stripeshis arehead coloredbecomes dependingseparated onfrom thehis transformationbody. Though many Neitherworld denizens have some magic, it is Beetlejuice's greatly superior power thathas affordsearned him the title—albeittitle mostly self-asserted—ofof "The Ghost with the Most" (another line borrowed from the movie). In fact, on multiple occasions, Beetlejuice was able to effortlessly subdue a number of supernatural beings, and his dis-corporeal, self-sentient brain once claims that his power is more than enough to conquer the whole Neitherworld. Because of that power, almost everyone in the Neitherworld is fair game for his pranks, though no more so than he himself, since he is not immune to careless use of his power. Sometimes Beetlejuice will mix up one of his transformations, due to [[homophone]]-based confusion (when Lydia told him to turn into a stake to fight off Count Me-In, he turned into a flank steak). At times, various of his body parts (including his feet and his entire torso) manifested minds of their own, independent of Beetlejuice's control, with his brain and even his entire skeletal system having to abandon him once. Beetlejuice's main pastime is pulling various pranks on the other denizensinhabitants of the Neitherworld such as Jacques, Ginger, the Monster Across the Street, Poopsie, the Mayor and in the Living"mortal World it is Lydia's rival Claire Brewster and occasionally her parents. Beetlejuice's pranks on many seem to cause them great embarrassment or damageworld", but his pranks on Lydia, however, are only done to tease her, not to cause harm, which shows that he cares for her. Lydia in fact seems to be the only person who has any control over Beetlejuice. He even said in one episode he would do anything for her, and she, in turn, reciprocates his feelings. Beetlejuice also constantlyoften comes up with get-rich-quick con schemes to get money, as he dreads having to get a job, and inis laterunwilling episodesto (particularly in the second half of the fourth season), Beetlejuice's greediness becomes so intense that he sometimes overlooks his friends and family, andstop even when Lydiaothers openly scoldstell him, Beetlejuice shows unbelievable reluctance or unwillingness to give up of his schemes. Despite thishis cynical and childish attitude, Beetlejuice proves tocan be ainsightful, profoundas and insightful person,he frequentlyoften recitingrecites quotes of philosophical and humanitarian importance. The things he hates include cleanliness and anything "cute". He expresses his likes and dislikes via variations on a single [[catchphrase]], as in "[[Nerd]] humor, you know I love it!" or "rules, you know I hate 'em!" The only known thing Beetlejuice is afraid of is Sandworms, so much that he is unable to use his powers when he encounters them. However, on a few of occasions, Beetlejuice has managed to conquer his fear and use his magic to fight them. This is usually thanks to encouragement from Lydia, or if someone else is in danger. Lydia once stated to Judge Mental; "Beetlejuice couldn't use his powers to save himself, but he could do it for a baby." A number of times, Beetlejuice interacted with Lydia's parents in the "real world" of Peaceful Pines, always under the name of "Mr. Beetleman", and in a couple of instances, he performed a gender change on himself to become a teenage girl about Lydia's age at Lydia's school as "Mr. Beetleman's" younger female relative "Betty Juice", along with twice appearing as the male gender "Cousin BJ" claiming to be on Delia's side of the family.

* '''''Lydia Deetz''''' (voiced by [[Alyson Court]]) is a Gothgoth girl who is in her preteens at the start of the series, and later in her early teens, laterand inis theconsidered seriesto be responsible and emotionally mature for her age. Lydia'sShe favoriteloves hobbyall isthings reading"strange and unusual", including horror and literary classics such as the collective works of writersgothic suchand ashorror writers, including [[Edgar Allan Poe]], and [[Stephen King]] and other Gothic and horror writers. She is established as being a creative, bright, lively, sharp, yet [[Eccentricity (behavior)|eccentric]] young, girl, butwho otherwisestruggles Lydia'sto uniquefit outlookin on life makeswith her standclassmates outat fromMiss mostShannon's ofSchool thefor other school-girlsGirls, which leavesshe herattends. feelingThis out of place and alone in the real world, finding it difficult to fit in well with most of her classmates—leadingleads her to frequently visit and seek out reassurance with herBeetlejuice closest friend, Beetlejuice,and in the Neitherworld, where she is accepted and loved for who she is. LydiaShe isalso ahas talentedseveral [[Photography|photographer]]talents, [[Entomology|entomologist]], [[sewing|seamstress]], and artist with an affinity and love for all thingsincluding grossphotography, scaryentomology, weirdsewing, surreal and macabreart, and whoworking celebrateswith all that is (in the words of her film incarnation) 'strange and unusual'. Despite her love of all things 'strange and unusual'machines, Lydia is also a positive, well-mannered, friendly and patient girl, and aside from also being emotionally mature for her age, Lydia can be accredited as being very responsible for a girl in her age group. Lydia is also shown to be a [[naturalist]], shown to feel veryfeels strongly about environmental issues, even to the extent of chaining herself to a tree, which Beetlejuice soon brought to life to save it from being cut down. Lydia has also shown that she is extremely gifted with anything mechanical and understands a lot about cars (she knew what to do to build Doomie, while "Bee-gor" Beetlejuice did not know very much, such as what a [[carburetor]] is). In the series, Lydia attends Miss Shannon's School for Girls and is in the seventh grade. Lydia is Beetlejuice's best friend, and in the events of the pilot episode, "Critter Sitters", it is revealedshown shethat and Beetlejuicethey have already known each other for a year, as they are celebrating their first anniversary of friendship. Beetlejuice frequently addresses her as "Lyds" or "Babes" rather than "Lydia" thoughcan hesummon does use her full name from time to time, like when he is scared, amused,Beetlejuice or worried about her; for example: in "Worm Welcome" when Beetlejuice found out that "Worm Your Way" deodorant causes baby Sandwormstravel to go crazy, he was scared Lydia would be eaten by the baby Sandworm, this, in turn, makes himself shout her name. Lydia knows how to summon Beetlejuice to her presence or make her own way to his:Neitherworld by calling his name aloud three times. Occasionally she is shown making use of a longer, more elaborate ritual using the aforementioned four-line chant to bring him out of the Neitherworld or send herself into it, but this seems not to be a necessity. Unlike Beetlejuice himself, Lydia is almost universally loved by the Neitherworld denizens, and she once won a Neitherworld award for Cutest Mortal to Ever Visit the Neitherworld. Having found herself a kindred spirit in Beetlejuice, Lydia looks up to Beetlejuice in many ways, primarily admiring his outrageous sense of humor. In one episode, Beetlejuice lent Lydia his funny bone so she could be funny as part of a school show, but without his funny bone Beetlejuice became much more serious and normal; this change in him even disappoints Jacques and Ginger. When Beetlejuice gets his funny bone back however, he becomes his abnormal self again much to Lydia's delight as she hugs him. It is revealed in "It's a Wonderful Afterlife", it is shown that if she had never met Beetlejuicehim, Lydiashe would have becomebeen an unhappy,a social recluse, and would not have had the confidence to stand up to Claire Brewster's bullying;, indicatingshowing that Beetlejuice's friendship and dedication to her is the source of Lydia's ownher self-confidence. Although most of Beetlejuice's antics are motivated by self-amusement rather than malice, he can become genuinely hostile if Lydia is threatened, and any who might conceivably threaten their relationship. These are the objects of Beetlejuice's profound jealousy and resentment. However, Lydia never shows any romantic interest in anyone else except Prince Vince, and that quickly turns into a straight-out friendship. In the episode "Out of My Mind", Lydia is teleported inside Beetlejuice's mind, and it is learned that he actually has a working shrine to her in his head. During this time, she gave a donation towards the maintenance of his shrine to her.

* '''Charles Deetz''' (voiced by Roger Dunn) is Lydia's father, a nervous man who likes quiet and calm activities. He also has a terrible allergy to dogs. One of his favoritewhose hobbies isinclude [[ornithology]], which he seems to be very fond of, and he also likes [[baseball]]. He is closer to Lydia than Delia is, as they share a love of baseball. He is often the victim of Beetlejuice's continuous pranks and mischief.; Despitedespite this, Beetlejuice is oddly quite fond of him, probablylikely because Charleshe is one of the few people who is always fallingfalls for his pranks, usually when Beetlejuice is in his "real-world" guise of "Mr. Beetleman". Charles' catchphrase is "Try to relax. Try to relax."

* '''Delia Deetz''' (voiced by [[Elizabeth Hanna]]) is Charles Deetz's wife and Lydia's mother, who tries to get her to give up her love for scary things and focus on normal interests. DeliaShe is an eccentric, air-headedairheaded [[yuppie]], who is also somewhat self-absorbed. She deludes herselfbelieves that she is both a great cook and a great artist, andwhen hankersin afterreality newit clients; however, both her cooking and her surreal art areis not well received. and Delia just cannot understand why her art is rejected or laughed at (paradoxicallyHowever, while her weird art is rejected by living people, it is very popular in the Neitherworld). Also,Because due toof her eccentric/air-headed/yuppie nature, Delia is, not easily frightened, unlike her husbandCharles; being a surrealistic artist, she mistakenly thinksbelieves that the frightening things she experiences are part of something else. While she talks about wanting to express her creativity, she also tries to get Lydia to give up her love for scary stuff and focus on cute "normal" stuff (and doesn't notice the [[hypocrisy]] in her actions); this was emphasized briefly in "Critter Sitters" and was the plot of one of the stories in the comic book ("This is Your Lice", where Delia hires a [[hypnotist]] to make Lydia conform to doing normal, girly things). While in the film, the fact that Delia is Lydia's [[stepmother]] is made clear, in the cartoon this fact is never pressed upon.

* '''Percy''' is the Deetz family's pet black cat, an animal so high-strung that he makes Charles look relaxed. Considering the amount of torment that Beetlejuice puts Percy through, thiswho is not really surprising. Although Percy is most timesoften a victim of Beetlejuice's pranks, he sometimes manages to take revenge on him in more than one way.

* '''Bertha''' (voiced by [[Tara Strong|Tara Strong]]) (credited as Tara Charendoff) is Lydia's friend fromat school. She is tall, gangly and has an [[overbite]]. Bertha loves to swoon over teen boys, read teen magazines, and eat chips. Like Lydia, she toowho shares aher passioninterest forin anythingthings "strange and unusual. Beetlejuice refers to her as 'Burp'".

* '''Jacques LaLean''' (voiced by Charles Kerr) is a French skeleton bodybuilder (aand humorous reference to fitness guru [[Jack LaLanne]]) andBeetlejuice's neighbor of Beetlejuice. ADespite runningbeing gagannoyed inby thehis series entails Jacques getting broken into multiple piecesantics, oftenthey thanksare tofriends Beetlejuice, who will then proceed to call a number of random dogs upon him. In spite of such antics, Jacques actually likesdespite Beetlejuice's and it is revealedinsistence that Beetlejuicethey reciprocatesare this despite his vehement pretensions to the contrarynot. He pursues a dreamdreams of becoming a great bodybuilder, a mostly comedic endeavor as he hasdespite nolacking muscles noror a body; todespite devote fitness tothis, a fact he is very aware of but regardless does not take into consideration, and once against all odds (and believability)previously won the Mr. Neitherworld bodybuilding title, defeating the reigning champion Armhold Musclehugger (albeit by default). According to "Highs-Ghoul Confidential", Jacqueshe and Ginger attended the same high school as Beetlejuice and went to the school prom together. During that time, Jacques was on the school [[Track and field|train track team]] and had an overbite.

* '''Ginger the Tap Dancing Spider''' (voiced by [[Tabitha St. Germain|Paulina Gillis]]) is a cute pink tap-dancing spider who speaks with a [[New York accent]] (this is a humorous allusion to [[Ginger Rogers]]). Another ofand Beetlejuice's neighborsneighbor, her act is often ruined by pranks of Beetlejuice. Shewho dreams of someday being a famous tap dancer and can be very sensitive to cruel pranks. Although she is one of the innocent creatures in the Neitherworld, she has admitted that she stole a few dance steps from other living and dead dancers. According to "Highs-Ghoul Confidential", Gingershe and Jacques attended the same high school as Beetlejuice, andwhere wentshe towas thepart school prom together. During that time, Ginger was onof the school [[Cheerleading|cheerleading squad]], and hadwent magenta-coloredto hairthe inschool aprom fifties hairdotogether.

The premise of the animated series differs in a number of ways from the original ''[[Beetlejuice]]''film live-actionin filmorder to be acceptable for children. In the TV series, he and Lydia are best friends, Beetlejuice is made out to be more of a prankster, and Lydia is given a much quirkier, but positive demeanor. Lydia often travels to the "Neitherworld" (changed from "Afterlife") to have adventures with Beetlejuice. These adventures could involve fun activities together, Lydia saving Beetlejuice from a bad situation, or scolding him for a money-making scam.

Much as with the original 1988 film, various merchandise was released for the ''Beetlejuice'' animated series in 1990. This included [[trading cards]] by Dart, a [[sticker album]] and sticker/activity book by [[Panini (stickers)|Panini]], a [[jigsaw puzzle]] by [[Little Golden Books|Golden]], a coloring book, novels, a lunchbox and thermos set, Valentine'sValentines, a party centerpiece by Party Creations, a [[PC game]] by [[Hi Tech Expressions]], a [[Beetlejuice (handheld video game)|Game Boy game]] by [[Rare (company)|Rare]], and six [[PVC]] figures available with [[Burger King]] [[Kids' meal|Kids' Meal]]s. [[Kenner]], the company behind the film's [[action figure]]s, had begun developing figures for the animated series, but the project did not come to fruition (at least one prototype for that ill-fated collection has been showcased online).<ref>Bickmore, Alex [http://www.toyarchive.com/BeetleJJacqueHardCopy.html STA: Beetlejuice: Jacque Hardcopy Head] ToyArchive.com (June 1, 2004).
