The New Scooby-Doo Show.

[RonDrakenfan17]

Is it a reboot? Or after the whole Shaggy and Scooby-Doo Get a Clue thing? I'm kind of confused about it :p

[chdr]

"Mystery Inc." is a reboot.

[Dub]

I'd like to hope that this one is taken as more of a definitive reboot with a different approach to the old formula and way less of a reliance on "nostalgia goggles" as What's New blatantly paraded itself quite proudly and quite often as...

Not that What's New was truly awful at all compared to what came after it, it's just...given it has yet to be reran at any point I'm still not sure if what was attempted in Get A Clue - it's follow up - was a failure or not (I always looked at it more as a side story kind of thing that tried to stand on its own spinoff merits, but that's just me)...

I'm a little dissapointed that they didn't try to make What's New a little darker (maybe not as dark as the start of 90's revival but at certainly more modern and approachable in that sense). I'm also dissapointed that - as the What's New revival came into play - the directors totally passed up trying to have more involvement and direction with the characters themselves (something I appreciated with the 90's DTV's) rather than playing it for the same rehashed and tired and phoned-in laughs that plague those who have seen the classic Scooby reruns a million times. I think the gradual move and integration of the "revival era" to Kids WB had a lot to do with its slow deterioration in that regards. Really I don't think they ever perfected the What's New formula until the latter DTV's immediately following its cancellation came along (I find those to be more interesting than the show at least), but I know that's debatable. Again - I really think not being latched to Kids WB's oddball standards and practices had a lot to do with it. Anyway, I'd just like to see a Scooby show that took itself a little more seriously and really did try something new with the classic formula like the 90's stuff tried to do rather than coasting off the same old stuff just for nostalgia's sake again and again and again...

IMO Where Are You, a few episodes of the "Movies" (if you can get past the tremendous amounts of padding and filler in many of them), The Scooby Doo Show (my personal favorite since it had a larger number of episodes to it if you combine it with the Laff-A-Lympics season, as well as advancing from Where Are You, as well as Scooby-Dum - who was a welcome side addition unlike Scrappy), The first few and last few DTV's, and (very arguably) the first season of the Scrappies where they stuck to the classic format are the best that the classic series has to offer. Nowadays, I kind of count What's New and Pup Named as its own little continuity since they borrow heavily off of each other's lampooning styles and treat themselves in a much sillier fashion as opposed to the original stuff, that actually was moreso about the adventure and the mystery.

It'll be interesting to see which way they go with this now that they are under CN given that they won't have to pander to Kids WB's standards anymore...

(This post wound up being way more involved than I had originally planned it to be... XD)

"Mystery Inc." is a reboot.

There's a new show? All I've heard about was a new live action prequel.

Please don't tell me you're suggesting them being some kind of Henshin heroes who fight real monsters or a band of emo kids who look real monsters via Secret Saturdays or are you talking about adding drug cartels, real murders or something? Before you say anything I know you didn't suggest any of those things but I don't really get what you mean by "taking itself seriously".

There's a new show? All I've heard about was a new live action prequel. It was announced at the Upfront. It's being done by Warner Brothers Animation.

lol serious Scooby Doo would be very awkward/unintentionally hilarious. Scooby Doo was MEANT to be a silly cartoon, so it should stay silly. Although I do agree that making it a bit darker isn't a bad idea.

[RonDrakenfan17]

What I'd like is for a Scooby-Doo show to be more like Zombie Islad Style, have them solve things that really are ghosts. They haven't done some thing like that since 13 Ghosts. I heard that might be where they take this series but maybe I misheard wrong. I do wonder what kind of animation they'll use for this series, out of all the Scooby-Doo shows I'd say I liked What's New Scooby-Doo's animation the best.

[TripleS]

^ Definitely agree, I remember quite fondly liking Zombie Island for using... well, real ghosts. XD

Jesus god no! LOL

I only meant moreso in the way that say - Zombie Island approached Scooby Doo in terms of telling its tale. Not anything further than that. Scooby Doo was NEVER meant to be grimdark and should stay a lighthearted show. You take that away and it damages the whole dynamic, but it would be nice to see it try and tell that lighthearted story in a more compelling manner that draws you in once in a while. That was one of the key things I personally liked about Zombie Island - after all, it is a mystery and one thing I liked as a little kid about the original seasons was the darker color palette, the more involved slant to solving it as opposed to 30 minutes of nothing but gags, as well as being a kid and trying to solve the story before it ended. My suggestion was simply just to see if it would work mind you (not talking about it in terms of OMG REAL MONSTERS, just in terms to storytelling approach and trying to see if that would work in terms of the show is normally approached). Anything else may be borderline pushing it. :P

What's filler?Basically padding out the episode with useless fluff that doesn't benefit the story at all to fill it for time. While still watchable, the Scoby Doo Movies (the guest star episodes) were notorious for this in quite a few episodes.

[Jack_6428]

i liked Scooby Doo Where Are You when i was a kid...basically the only Scooby show id watch even today (Whats New Scooby Doo, is just crap)
..if they kept the old idea of the show, but made it more serious at parts..meaning having it darker and perhaps more realistic with the animation (old animation pwns the new one)..it would be cool..atleast its a show im looking forward

[Zen Man]

Personally I think they're overusing ol' Scoob; but since he's a cash cow, its understandable. I just wish they'd give the other H-B stars another chance to shine.

As far as 'What's New' goes, I saw a couple of episodes during its original run and my two main gripes were: 1) The lack of dialogue for Scooby and 2) An overreliance on self-parody and trying too hard to update the gang.

I don't know if the writers wanted to shift more focus to the kids rather than Scooby or what.But in most episodes, you barely realized Scooby was there as he barely said anything other than his catchphrase. And I thought it was a novel approach to update the gang for the new millennium but sometimes it just felt forced.

Never could get into S&SGAC.Though I did like the theme song. :D

[Dub]

2) An overreliance on self-parody and trying too hard to update the gang.

This. Bar none that was what bothered me the most about the show. It wasn't so much that they did update the gang or lampoon on the conventions of the series overall, it's that they handled said concepts with the subtlety of a brick being lobbed violently at ones head.

What's New wasn't awful, but its approach to storytelling and characterization could have been handled way waaaaay better IMO. As far as Scooby speaking - he didn't speak a lot at all in Where Are You either from what I remember (it's been a while for me though as I went on a sort of moratorium during the glut period on CN). Then again, in Where Are You, he certainly acted more like an a talking dog that was a genuine part of the gang that did funny things on occasion as opposed to the post DTV version that felt like HI! I'M THE FUNNY ANIMAL SIDEKICK! WATCH ME DO OR SAY LOTS OF SILLY THINGS ALL THE TIME!

Eh. That's kind of nitpicking though as its kind of a very fine line depending on how much you like Scooby's actual focus in the show. To the current writers benefit, it's certainly more tolerable than the way he and Shaggy were approached in the solo-Scrappy era (walking gag machines), for sure.

And IMO 3) That obnoxious Simple Plan theme song AND guest star episode. Ugh.

Actually What's New was also annoying for, as said before, lacking the dark color palette. The bright colors just felt out of place and bothered me.

How do we know this is a reboot of the franchise?? It doesn't say that in the description provided.

That's what the user tolled me. I'd like it better if it wasn't a reboot, just continue on from Shaggy and Scooby-Doo Get a Clue only same animation as What's New Scooby-Doo? Than they could have it be Scooby-Doo Zombie Island style where real monsters/real ghosts with solving prob's and every one of the gang would be there this time. That's how I would have done things :p
Either way I'll watch of course I've been watchin every Scooby show and movie.

[Mickialla]

Well if by reboot, you guys mean that this new show is going to reside in a different continuity and start over from the beginning, than you're wrong. In the description the Upfront PR provided, it describes Mystery Inc. as a "renowned" team. Obviously they're already famous by now. This isn't a reboot.

Awe man I hope not. I wonder if it will continue from Shaggy and Scooby-Doo Get a Clue or What's New Scooby-Doo? Don't get me wrong, I don't mind reboots but its just I don't want one untill a few years from now cuz we just had What's New Scooby-Doo? Which was a reboot of the orginal Scooby-Doo. So to do a new reboot now would be silly :p
When is it coming out? I was looking for the date of the series and it didn't say or maybe I just missed it :shrug:

What's New Scooby-Doo wasn't a reboot of the original Scooby-Doo. In the original Scooby-Doo, the Mystery Inc. team was in high-school and only did small mysteries usually in Coolsville. What's New Scooby-Doo takes place years later when the team is famous and travels all over the world. If it was a reboot, then What's New Scooby-Doo would act as if the original series never existed.

Well they did kind of act as though the other series never exsisted, I mean if its all in that world than they never age and they have really bad memory LOL. I just always found What's New Scooby-Doo? a Reboot but if you don't think it is that's cool. You make very good points on it :)

[Mad Monkey 7]

I wonder if Scooby's family comes back in this series. I hope that they bring back a young pup. :evil:

[Racattack!Force]

Well they did kind of act as though the other series never exsistedThere are several refs to past series in the show. :sweat:

[RonDrakenfan17]

There are several refs to past series in the show. :sweat:

They did? Maybe I missed them :p
Can you name the references? I mean I know that one movie was talking about Scrappy-Doo whe Fred said we have another member and Shaggy said we weren't supposed to talk about it LOL. There was also that one in the Goblin movie when they ran threw the Scrappy dolls LOL. But other than that I really don't know...And why are they teens agian that series? Maybe I'm just confused LOL.

I thought tat this was a movie not a series

There were a few references to "A Pup Named Scooby-Doo", and one episode even included a flashback with artwork and animation similar to the babyfication.

LONG POST AHEAD!

There was also a visual reference - VERY BRIEF - which showed Mystery Inc. in thier Pup Named Scooby Doo designs.

As far as continuity goes (and I've heard this argued before) I always figured that the original DTV's up to Alien Invaders followed the original "Where Are You" timeline since it sort of established them as young adults (Zombie Island) past college (Cyber Chase) that had reformed as a team after the split years. This is stressed in Cyber Chase which heavily references the villains from "The Scooby Doo Show" and makes a gag of "Red Shirt" Shaggy.

It's post "Legend of the Vampire" and "What's New" where things just get weird.

"What's New Scooby Doo" seemed to follow what was established by the "Pup Named" series. Same things in many of the previous series happened (callbacks to classic monsters and scenarios, the "sixth member" that was probably Scrappy Doo), but its a bit harder to pinpoint how things went down due to continuity hiccups.

For one thing - in What's New, the gang are still treated as college age globetrotting kids (which you could probably excuse somewhat as artistic direction. That's part of the premise of the series as a whole to begin with: young adults/kids solving mysteries with thier talking dog) But the bigger problem is when the blatant modernization in the show comes up, Scrappy Doo's ambuguity as the team's sixth member (annoying fifth-wheel hero or asshat villain? we never knew), and the fact that the gang never quite acts as if they split up in reference to that. At best, that stuff is just minor nitpicks that can be ironed out in other ways.

The one big thing that proponents of the "two continuity argument" point out though, is that Fred and Daphne in particular act a lot more like adult versions of thier Pup Named counterparts than in any other version as opposed to thier toned down characterizations in the first 4 DTV's - IE Fred not being quite as "dumb jock" and played the role of a more efficient leader to the group and Daphne wasn't entirely all valley girl-ish. Again, this is really circumstantial because Fred and Daphne didn't have much of a personality in the classic series to begin with. Most people seem to agree however that the DTV's from "Loch Ness Monster" onwards reflect the What's New reboot more.

It's really weird because Legend of The Vampire and Monster of Mexico are made almost to look like some kind of bizarre hybrid of Where Are You VS What's New - and yet Vampire has the Hex Girls from Witch's Ghost which doesn't make any sense at all.

To simplify it:

Argument for Original Timeline
Pup Named??? (see below) -> Where Are You, The Scooby Doo Movies, The Scooby Doo Show -> Scrappy Doo introduced (final 13 episodes of original format) -> Gang Splits up (Solo Scooby and Shaggy seasons, Fred becomes a writer, Velma interns at NASA, Daphne???) -> Daphne rejoins Shaggy, Scooby & Scrappy -> Thirteen Ghosts??? (see below) -> Final Breakup -> (Gang reforms as young adults in mid 90's?) Zombie Island, Witch's Ghost, Cyber Chase, Alien Invaders

Argument for What's New Timeline (if you choose to believe that it's separate)

Pup Named Scooby Doo -> Stuff From the Original Series -> What's New Scooby Doo -> Loch Ness Monster, Aloha, Where's My Mummy, Pirates Ahoy, Chill Out, Goblin King -> Shaggy and Scooby-Doo Get A Clue

Stuff that screws up both "timelines"
Pup Named Scooby Doo can really fit at the beginning of both timeline arguments. It wasn't so modern that it wouldnt fit in the original timeline (Where Are You had robots and advanced theme parks too). 50's/60's talk was lampooned within the show itself, and no origin for "Mystery, Inc." was ever given during the classic stuff. The characterizations of Fred and Daphne are minor nitpicks as explained before. It's really kind of ambiguous either way and not worth arguing about.
Boo Brothers, Ghoul School, and Reluctant Werewolf. I'm not sure where they fit since they all have Red Shirt Shaggy but I'd imagine perhaps after 13 Ghosts since Daphne is not around? They're the oddballs in classic canon
Some of the stuff at the end of the Scrappy Solo Shorts (Fearless Detective Agency season - I forget the reasons for this though),
Thirteen Ghosts (is it canon? It's never been referenced again and we do know that real monsters do exist in both Scooby canons)
The two live action movies (most Scooby Fans seem to pretend this doesn't exist regardless of whether they like Scrappy Doo or not which is fine by me).
"Legend of the Vampire" and "Monster of Mexico" - neither of which seem to fit in anywhere. It can be argued that MoM takes place anywhere during the old stuff, but Vampire uses the old designs with a touch of What's New with a touch of the 90's DTV's making it an utter mess. These two were produced during the transistion period into "What's New" anyway so I guess they can be excused.Interesting thing about the Live Action movies though is that regardless of how badly Scrappy was treated in it, it does provide a viable explanation as to where he went after the gang utterly dissolved, bringing the Yabba Doo/Yucca Flats shorts into canon - but that's as far as that goes.

I personally used to believe that everything followed one timeline and certain things could be explained away as suspension of disbelief or cosmetic changes: from Alien Invaders to What's New (skipping the two transition period DTV's inbetween as continuity errors and placing Pup firmly at the beginning) but more and more as the WB produced Scooby's are made I think of everything from What's New onward as a full on reboot with Pup as its basis - because honestly, if you want to be anal about that sort of thing, it just makes more sense and keeps things simpler.

As far as the new show being a reboot or not, I think most people are basing that assumption off of the 3rd Live Action movie that's going to premier on Cartoon Network that was announced just a few months ago. It completely ignores Pup Named and says that the gang met and formed in high school. Maybe the Live Action stuff is a third continuity? Until we actually see how the new series is handled however, we'll never really know if they're going to base this new series off of that "new origin" or continue with what was established before.

[John Dorian]

To answer RonDrakkenfan17's question, it's "A Terrifying Round With a Menacing Metallic Clown" and it's on the "Evil Site".


And yeah, their designs remain the same, but their clothes are like their older selves.

And while we're on What's New, Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner both appeared in "New Mexico, Old Monster" with Tweety appearing on a brochure.


And....there was another Pup Named Scooby Doo reference, Dub? Where was that reference?

[RonDrakenfan17]

Ok so I read all that but with the older series, would you say it takes place after What's new Scooby-Doo? If you combined all that. All though yah the updated stuff like cell phones, lab tops. If only they didn't add that stuff it might slighly make sense. Oh yah I know that episode I haven't watched that clown that episode for a while LOL.

[tb4000]

Batman and Scooby-Doo...the only two properties WB feels they own. They may as well take a cue from the 70s cartoon and team them up in another crossover.

And....there was another Pup Named Scooby Doo reference, Dub? Where was that reference?

I need to edit that because it sounds confusing, but I was pointing out the exact same one you just did is all (I just couldnt remember the episodes name). :)

A. What's new Scooby-Doo? Style

OR

B. Old school style

It'd be neat if they had the animation return to old school Scooby. I kind of miss those days.

[Nickle98499]

I'm sure the actual designs won't be as same as the video game that has been mentioned. As for the actual series itself; it kind of reminds me of a cross between the 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo, the old tv show Twin Peaks and a little bit of the old daytime soap opera Dark Shadows. All in all it sounds like a good show, I can't wait to watch it. Also, I think it's a cool idea to get back to a little bit of the Zombie Island/Witch's Ghost style mysteries with real supernatural elements which is what Warner Brothers should have kept on doing with the Scooby direct-to-video movies and TV shows. Although some people like the fake ghosts and monsters Scooby episodes(like me); however it would have been a nice change of pace from the usual Scooby mystery ideas.

[Racattack!Force]

Ok so I read all that but with the older series, would you say it takes place after What's new Scooby-Doo? If you combined all that. All though yah the updated stuff like cell phones, lab tops. If only they didn't add that stuff it might slighly make sense. Oh yah I know that episode I haven't watched that clown that episode for a while LOL.

While I don't think Warner cares about continuity as much as some fans, having the show take place after Shaggy and Scooby-Doo Get a Clue would change the dynamic of the gang somewhat since that show made Shaggy and Scooby more independent and it would be hard to see the Get a Clue version of those characters back to following Fred and Velma's orders and playing the snevieling cowards. Although, I would love to see Dr. Phiebes drawn in the traditional Scooby-Doo style and match wits with the entire Mystery Inc. gang (yeah, it was done in one episode but even then it was more on Shaggy's and Scooby's terms rather than against Mystery's Inc. as a whole).

Also, hopefully Scooby plays a bigger role in this series than in What's New. Since Get a Clue was a Shaggy and Scooby centric series, it placed Scooby center stage since he had to carry the series (along with Shaggy) without having Mystery's Inc. taking over the bulk of the action. Also, the series to allow Frank Welker to place his own stamp on Scooby's voice and allow viewers to get comfortable with his Scooby, which sounds different from Don Messick's Scooby (Welker's Scooby doesn't start every word with "r"). Hopefully, this means that Scooby would not be an afterthought, which wasn't the case with What's New Scooby-Doo.

I'm looking forward to the new series.
