- Made for anyone who wants a laugh, sci-fi fans and families. If you loved Dexter's Laboratory or The Fairly OddParents, start here.
- The mood
- Light and funny, feel-good.
- The pace
- 4 seasons, but most episodes stand on their own, so you can dip in anywhere (about 10 minutes each).
- What might put you off
- It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.
Casper is a friendly ghost--the friendliest ghost you know! Unfortunately he lives with his three Hauntaholic uncles: Uncle Stretch, who's convinced he's smarter than anyone who ever died; Stinkie, who can put down any fleshie with one belch-blast; and Fatso, who's big, round and not too bright. Trying to cure these brothers is Dr. James Harvey and his spunky and worldly daughter Kat. Put them all under one roof and you have a house full of fun.
