[[WMG: Cartoon!Beetlejuice is what he was 'rewarded' with after marrying Lydia]]
Beetlejuice DID marry Lydia, which shifted his haunting locus to Lydia Deetz, and he pretty much died a second time when the Sandworm dropped on him. As a mild apology, he's given much more free reign, effectively giving him the freedom he was trying to get by marrying Lydia, but remaining stuck in the Neitherworld.

Lydia looks a lot younger in the show then in the movie, and we've already seen that without BJ, Lydia will become very sad and depressed. It's not much of a stretch that without Lydia, BJ would become a bigger Jerkass. Sometime after the show ended, both Lydia and Beetlejuice got LaserGuidedAmnesia somehow and never met until Lydia and her parents moved to the Maitlands' house, where they met again (BJ now calling himself Betelgeuse), but they changed so much in the 4 years they never met, that they could never become friends again

*An elegant alternative is explored in ''FanFic/SayItThrice'' by Creator/BookwormGal; Beetlejuice is at ''least'' 600 years old, having lived through the Black Death and thus was so unfamiliar with the living that he didn ''realize'' that Lydia was a child. Afterwards he was ''really'' sorry for the attempted "AndNowYouMustMarryMe" and was going to let Lydia out of the deal, but upon seeing his genuine remorse she summoned him back, resulting in the events of the series.

[[WMG: Beetlejuice is a human (or rather, ghost) avatar of the star Betelgeuse.]]
In Jean Louis De Esque's poem book, ''Betelgeuse, a Trip Through Hell '', hell is located on the titular star. In ''Beetlejuice'', there doesn't seem to be a hell at first glance. But there is a nasty place that exorcised ghosts end up call the the Lost Souls Room. In most versions of demonology, an exorcism sends spirits or demons back to hell, so it would stand to reason that the Lost Souls Room is hell, or at least the closest thing to it. Suppose, like in De Esque's poem, Betelgeuse is the location of the Lost Souls Room. The exorcised souls provide some sort of fulfillment for Betelgeuse, either because they have nutritional value, or It just enjoys collecting them. With this in mind, Beetlejuice's bio-exorcism business could be a sham to cause haunting disturbances, pin the blame on his summoners, and get more souls exorcised. Though he did thwart the Maitlands' exorcism, it was part of a plan to get permanent license to haunt the living world, which means more deaths and thus more ghosts and more potential souls.

[[WMG:Beetlejuice is Satan]]
His name, after all, is very similar to the Biblical slur "Beelzebub." Juno is God (note that she shares her name with the chief female Roman deity), and the slit in her throat is her merely ''pretending'' to be a suicide victim, [[AFormYouAreComfortableWith in order to blend in with the other bureaucrats]]. Lucifer really did voluntarily set on his own; the story about him being cast out of Heaven is just Biblical propaganda written to make him look weak. He wasn't just going to marry Lydia at the climax, but take possession of her soul, or perhaps even impregnate her with the Antichrist.

[[WMG: Spelling Beetlejuice's name "Betelgeuse" in advertisements is required as a condition of parole]]
The legal authorities of the afterlife in the movie see Beetlejuice as a potentially dangerous criminal, but they can't execute him (since for a dead person to perform an exorcism would be suicidal), so eventually he would end up paying his debt to society and be let out of whatever passes for prison. They'd still want to limit his ability to get into mischief, but bureaucracy gets in the way. Making it harder for people to summon him by requiring his name to be rendered in a difficult-to-pronounce archaic spelling (which might well have been current when he died) would allow him to advertise his business while limiting his customer base to those desperate enough to go looking for an unlicensed bio-exorcist (and preventing undead kids from calling him up accidentally or as a prank).

Perhaps in the CelestialBureaucracy that the netherworld runs off of, government employees are granted special abilities above and beyond what most ghosts possess, to aid in their duties; that's why Beetlejuice can travel to other locations and displays RealityWarper powers that allow him to interact directly with mortals when the Maitlands can't. Note that Juno also shows the ability to visit the Maitlands in their house, so she is not bound to a specific haunting location either.
These powers come with certain rules attached, however. Just as you can visit Juno by drawing a door, you can call Beetlejuice by repeating his name; keeps him from using his abilities to go anywhere and do whatever he wants.
BJ hated his job and quit, but used a loophole to keep his abilities; going "freelance", meaning he is still somehow licensed to do this stuff, because he is still technically helping other ghosts. He works as a "bio-exorcist" because it's a job that puts him in contact with mortals, so he can look for one to marry and get out of the fate his suicide doomed him to.
