## Trivia

* This cartoon was a huge success when it first aired on ABC and later became one of the first cartoons to air on the Fox Channel's Fox Kids lineup. This led to Beetlejuice being seen Monday through Friday on FOX while still remaining on ABC's Saturday morning schedule, making it one of the few shows in American TV history to be aired concurrently on two different broadcast networks.
* Kenner, the company behind the Beetlejuice movie action figures, had begun developing figures for the animated series, but the project did not come to fruition (one prototype figure head of Jacques LaLean for that ill-fated collection has been showcased online).
* The CGI animated ads were originally planned to be stop-motion (as was the animation in Tim Burton's early theatrical shorts) but was deemed to expensive.
