Also known as "The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper," this show was based off of the 1995 liveaction Universal Pictures movie "Casper" starring Christina Ricci and Bill Pullman. Please note that this guide is not for the classic Casper cartoons. Casper has been updated for the 90's, from his character design to his attitude. Here, the classic Ghostly Trio (Fatso, Lazo, and Fusso) have been revamped into Casper's uncles Stretch, Stinkie, and Fatso. Also present inhabiting Whipstaff Manor are parapsychologist Dr. James Harvey and his daughter Kat. Returning from the classic comics and cartoons are troublemaking, bowler-hat-sporting Spooky and his bubbly blonde "goilfriend" Poil. The show played on FOX and FOX Family Channel and ran from 1996 to 1998.moreless
Okay, I didn't get to see many episodes of this cartoon. What I did see I think only bothered me because of the things that it messed up from the movie. But I thought that the few "cynical" moments that the show had were kinda funny, so I will give the show that.
I love this show. Casper is my favorite character as well as Wendy. I wish they didn't get rid of this show. SOmetimes it comes on Boomerang, but they hardly ever show. I think this is actually a decent show for kids (even older kids) to watch. This show is actually alot better than that mess they show now (Codename: KIds Next Door, American Dragon Jake Long, Juniper Lee, Cat Scratch, Rocket Power, ect.) They need to get rid of all those shows and bring this show back on again. I think all those other shows stink! :P :P :Pmoreless
