The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper was an Animated Series that ran from 1996 to 1998, created by Universal Cartoon Studios, and aired on Fox Kids as a modern update of Casper the Friendly Ghost. It was a Sequel Series to the earlier Casper feature film.The Spooktacular New Adventures focused on the mishaps of Casper as he haunted Whipstaff Manor with his uncles, The Ghostly Trio of Stretch, Stinky and Fatso; attended the local Ghost School alongside Spooky and "Poil" (Pearl), and shared his home with two living humans; ghost psychologist Dr. Harvey and his young daughter Kat.The series followed a Three Shorts format, where two longer stories would be separated by a shorter comedic oneshot, often a musical or focusing on secondary characters. | |

The Friends Who Never Hang | |
| The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper / int_1ed73929 | comment |
The Friends Who Never Hang: Outside the episode "Hat Sick," where Dr. Harvey treated Spooky in "Hat Sick" when he lost his "doiby" to Poil in a silly bet, Kat and Dr. Harvey never interacted with Poil or Spooky. note Technically, Kat & Poil did appear together once, but it was in a Cutaway Gag in "Jack and the Screamstalk" where they were shown Bound and Gagged in a dungeon, courtesy of Miss Banshee so she could play all the female parts in the titular story, so it doesn't really count. Dr. Harvey also had a couple of interactions with Ms. Banshee, though they were very brief. She was once quite smitten with him. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Ghosts were portrayed in this series as having great difficulty in escaping from a vacuum cleaner, a reference to a scene from the movie. In one episode, the Ghostly Trio plot to murder Kat and Dr. Harvey after they [the ghosts] prove unable to scare them out, telling Casper it's "what they should have done in the movie". In one episode, the Ghostly Trio would be turned into angels for not having unfinished business. They were allowed to remain as ghosts when Casper told the ghost judge (who was scared of Casper's friendliness) they had yet to teach him to be scary instead of friendly. Casper sometimes takes the form of his Harveytoons incarnation, which invariably freaks out whoever sees him; even Kat, who is quite indifferent to ghosts usually, takes one look at him and runs away screaming when he assumes this form. | |

Vocal Evolution | |
| The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper / int_2ef005ab | comment |
Vocal Evolution Casper's voice is deeper than in most of his other iterations, including the 1995 movie, due to Malachi Pearson hitting puberty in the year between the movie's release and the show's debut. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold | |
| The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper / int_4781adbb | comment |
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Spooky is the most clear example; he's a devious prankster who idolizes the Ghostly Trio, though he does have a friendlier side. Casper can occasionally come across as one too, though his jerkishness is far less pronounced and usually comes from him being annoyed with something. The Ghostly Trio can also be this on occasion. | |

Downer Ending | |
| The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: It's generally Played for Laughs, but couple of the shorts have a rather downbeat and pessimistic ending for Casper. Notable is the song "Good Morning, Dr. Harvey" (a Suspiciously Similar Song parody of "Gee, Officer Krupke" from West Side Story), where Casper tries to tell Dr. Harvey his troubles with his uncles — only to find out that Dr. Harvey wasn't even there and it was Stretch in disguise all along. The song ends with the Ghostly Trio tormenting him further, waving around the now-empty Dr. Harvey disguise and singing a cheery showtune about how he's stuck with them, there's nothing he can do and nobody to help him. | |

Genius Ditz | |
| The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper / int_58626d87 | comment |
Genius Ditz: Poil isn't very bright, but can display surprising moments — one episode has her claim the "Best Scarer" prize because she paid attention to the earlier lecture that a "spooker must uncover the deepest fears of the one they wish to spook". Fatso also qualifies; he often goes off on tangents about pop culure, has encyclopedic knowledge about largely useless trivia, and even impresses Ms. Banshee with his love of art and music. | |

Adaptation Personality Change | |
| The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper / int_6fbe85e6 | comment |
Adaptation Personality Change: Casper is noticably different in this incarnation; where the classic Casper wants to be Friend to All Living Things but scares them off with his ghostly appearance, this Casper is a lot more sarcastic, temperamental and devious, he's prone to fits of envy and jealousy, and while he's still the friendliest ghost on the show he's less of an out-and-out Nice Guy and can even border on Jerk with a Heart of Gold at times. This is even Lampshaded in the episode Casper VS The Ultimate Fan Boy, where the titular Fan Boy comes to the conclusion that Casper "was nicer in the old cartoons." Kat is also different from her movie incarnation; she's gone through a bit of Flanderization, her Little Miss Snarker traits taken up to eleven to the point where her default mood is "annoyed and snarky," and her relationship with Casper has shades of Vitriolic Best Buds, with lots of Snark-to-Snark Combat. | |

Argument of Contradictions | |
| The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper / int_6fd1837b | comment |
Argument of Contradictions: The episode "Is So Too" is built up around one between Kat and Casper, as they spend the episode arguing over whether her study session with Vic is a date or not. Kat insists that it's not a date, while Casper insists just as stubbornly that it is. They spend much of the episode going "Is so not!" — "Is so too!" back and forth at each other. At the end of the episode, Vic calls the study session "our first date," leading to this exchange between Kat and Casper: | |

Since he's also the Cloudcuckoolander of the trio, this may be a case of Dumb Is Good or Obfuscating Stupidity (he does seem to have a knowledge of pop culture and a passion for the arts that his more worldly and cynical brothers lack). | |

Nice Guy: Casper, though less so than his classic incarnation — he has his Jerk with a Heart of Gold moments, he'll plot revenge if slighted, and on a rare occasion he even gets into this entire "scaring" business. That said, he's still basically friendly and his first instinct is usually to be polite and treat people (and ghosts) with kindness. | |

Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?: Done by Stretch and Fatso in one episode, as a deliberate Shout-Out to Pinky and the Brain, which was airing at the same time. To really hammer in what they're parodying, Fatso takes on the facial features of a bucktoothed mouse, tries (not very successfully) to affect a British accent, and adds "Narf" at the end of his reply. | |

Continuity Snarl | |
| The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper / int_df582b0b | comment |
Continuity Snarl: Despite the few nods to the movie, there are many things that don't fit. Kat's loss of interest in boys. She seemed pretty excited about the thought of a date in the movie, but in the cartoons, she agrees with her dad that she's too young. However, this could have been because of what Vic did in the movie. Let's not get into the fact that Kat and Vic go on a date in one episode. Kat and Casper's relationship seems more snarky than it was in the movie. Everything about the Halloween episode. Not only has everyone at school seemingly forgotten about the incident in the movie (most noticeably Amber, who claims there's no such thing as ghosts despite having seen three herself), but the Trio claim that they can't scare on Halloween because of union rules. Yet they scared Vic and Amber on Halloween in the movie. This was also an issue in the series proper. One episode showed that the Ghostly Trio had always been ghosts (they were ghosts when they were schoolchildren); another episode showed that they were alive during the Civil War. In "Elusive Exclusive" and "Spooks, Lies and Videotapes", ghosts couldn't be captured on film and be on TV because they can't reflect light. In later episodes, not only are they able to appear on TV; but they also had their own channels. | |

Call a Human a "Meatbag" | |

Call a Human a "Meatbag": Ghosts derisively refer to living people as "fleshies" and "bonebags". | |

Friend to All Living Things | |
| The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper / int_e21faf11 | comment |
Casper is noticably different in this incarnation; where the classic Casper wants to be Friend to All Living Things but scares them off with his ghostly appearance, this Casper is a lot more sarcastic, temperamental and devious, he's prone to fits of envy and jealousy, and while he's still the friendliest ghost on the show he's less of an out-and-out Nice Guy and can even border on Jerk with a Heart of Gold at times. This is even Lampshaded in the episode Casper VS The Ultimate Fan Boy, where the titular Fan Boy comes to the conclusion that Casper "was nicer in the old cartoons." | |

Flanderization | |
| The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper / int_e5e6640b | comment |
Kat is also different from her movie incarnation; she's gone through a bit of Flanderization, her Little Miss Snarker traits taken up to eleven to the point where her default mood is "annoyed and snarky," and her relationship with Casper has shades of Vitriolic Best Buds, with lots of Snark-to-Snark Combat. | |

Running Gag | |
| The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Fatso's a milder example; a Running Gag on the show would have Stretch and Stinkie complain about something only to have Fatso jump in with a vaguely related but completely off-the-wall comment or snippet of a song: | |

Pet the Dog | |
| The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: The Ghostly Trio, as is par for the course with them, have just enough moments like this to avoid becoming too despicable. On a very rare occasion they could even act downright heroic... only to go back to being nuisances and Abusive Parents to Casper. | |
