Throughout the entire series, Beetlejuice would often try to scam residents of the Neitherworld-and, sometimes, the "mortal world" as well (Lydia's parents were occasionally unwitting victims of his pranks)-by various means, from "baby-sitting" (in which he literally sits on the grotesque Neitherworld babies) to trying to beat them in an auto race. The episode "Brides of Funkenstein" was based on an idea submitted by a then-teenage girl, who was a fan of the show. Many episodes, especially towards the end of the run, were parodies of famous movies, books, and TV shows. The series' humor relied heavily on sight gags, wordplay, and allusiveness. As in the film, Lydia could summon Beetlejuice out of the Neitherworld (or go there herself) by calling his name three times. Episodes generally centered on the ghostly con-man Beetlejuice, his best friend Lydia, and their supernatural adventures together in both the Neitherworld and the "mortal world", a New England town called Peaceful Pines ("Winter River" in the film).
