13 Times We All Related To The Cartoon Beetlejuice More Than We Wanted To

By Tanya |

<div><p>The <strong>Beetlejuice</strong> movie was such a classic it's hard to top it. Michael Keaton was just unbelievable as the titular character and while it was hard to top him, the cartoon version found a new spin on him that was just as good. </p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://legacy.throwbacks.com/content/images/2017/05/latest-14" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></figure></div><p>The cartoon was the favorite of so many kids, thanks to its goofy, wacky and at times dark humor that was all inspired by the Tim Burton hit. Beetlejuice in this show was just as bizarre as the original, but now he didn't have to worry about a human body and CGI problems, everything was animated and they could take it as far as they wanted. </p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://legacy.throwbacks.com/content/images/2017/05/1db09fb13ce04bdc1dedf7b64156c2d0.jpg" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></figure></div><p>The show was a huge success and for found seasons Beetlejuice and Lydia brought us all so much joy. Even though he was kind of a weirdo, he was a little bit relatable. Just like the <a href="https://www.throwbacks.com/10-disney-villains-you-cant-help-but-relate-to-as-an-adult/" target="_blank">Disney villains </a>you thought you'd never relate to, nowadays we all probably relate more to Beetlejuice than to Lydia. </p><div><figure><amp-anim src="https://legacy.throwbacks.com/content/images/2017/05/tumblr_nqrqmvfCLF1qb5qxmo1_500.gif" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-anim></figure></div><p><strong>Here are the 13 times we all became Beetlejuice:</strong></p><h3><strong>1.

By Tanya
Who else remembers planning their entire week based on when Beverly Hills: 90210 was going to be on TV? It wasn't like we could record it easily, blank VHS tapes were pricey, so we had to watch it when it was on or miss out. Watching Brenda, Kelly, Dylan, Brandon, Donna, and everyone else hand out and get into all kinds of mayhem was the highlight of our weeks. When it ended, we were all a bit sad, but then they brought it back with a new spin-off.  The new show tried to catch that same teen spirit, but

Maybe we didn't know how special it was when we first saw it, but as the decades go on, it has become clear that it's a true classic that is basically required viewing for every single person.

Nickelodeon wasn't just a television network, it was basically a generation. Kids all over the country were bonded in this weird little family, obsessing over shows that our parents just couldn't possibly understand. They were for us. They weren't made to appeal to our parents, they were made for our enjoyment and so we felt a special connection to them unlike any other shows. Nickelodeon is still going strong today, but it's hard to remember that there was a time before the iconic kids network came around. The company may be a juggernaut now, but how did it get started?
