Watching “Scooby Doo, Where Are You?” (1969-1970 CBS) + Thoughts

Episode 25: Don’t Fool with a Phantom

Not me trying to pronounce the flashing “KLMN” on the building as one word before realizing it’s probably an Acronym for something.

Fraphne dance for what seems like a talent show.

Is Johnny Sands based off of a celebrity?

Even without them handling it for their dance routine, Shaggy and Scooby’s taffy (it’s called toffee in the show but it’s too stretchy) looks yucky.

Monster of the week almost looks as bad as the toffee.

Velma looks comically angry at the monster’s stunts.

Johnny Sands is gone, which mean’s he’s either the culprit or the victim—oh wait, there he is.

“Come on, Johnny. The publicity stunt’s over.” She says to a man tied up in a chair. If Johnny winds up not being the masked monster, Velma’s going to look pretty insensitive.

The Wax Phantom.……Okay, yeah, no. The name doesn’t sound very intimidating (though admittedly hot wax on skin HURTS)

Ah, wax figures. That’s understandably more creepy.

Mr. Stevens the station manager, who was there earlier with everyone, including when the Wax Phantom first appeared, is suddenly gone for some reason. If he turns out to be the culprit, I hope there is an explanation as to why he was still present when the monster made its debut (such as having an accomplice or using a projector.)

Johnny isn’t helping alleviate my suspicions when he doesn’t want to call the police for risk of the studio being shut down.

“Well, it looks like we have another mystery on our hands.” Velma borrowing Fred’s catchphrase. (Frelma)

Fraphne and Shelma + Scooby split ups, because that’s always original.

Animation Goof: Daphne forgot to apply her lipstick/gloss.

Cute angry owl is cute.

Animation Goof: Shaggy is too tall for the screen’s frame.

Mr. Grisby looks suspiciously like a color swap of one of the gang’s earlier masked culprits from the first season.

“Hmmmm, looks like Mom’s stew!” He says as he’s about to take a sip without permission before skull-shaped smiley face bubbles (yes you read that right) make him lose his appetite. Also, I have questions regarding Ms. Rogers’s cooking.

Mr. Grisby flat out admits that he performed black magic to conjure up Wax Phantom. Shelma + Scooby obviously don’t report him to the police for questioning.

Remember viewers: a) Fraphne is totally a thing because Daphne is hugging Fred’s arm; b) Daphne is totally a damsel in distress who totally did not almost bash Shaggy’s head in self-defense thinking he was a masked ghost coming after her one time.

Daphne jumps into Fred’s arms after being startled from knocking over a wax figure in the wax museum. It’s an obvious attempt at another Fraphne moment and in my opinion it ignores what moments of fearlessness Daphne had in the earlier episodes but I’m highlighting it because I like a good bridal/princess carry, mmmkay~? 🤪

We don’t see Shag and Scoob looking for a window for them and Velma to enter through after the Wax Phantom locked the entrance door because that would be too interesting.

Turning on the lights brightens the scene by 3%.

Crash-into-reunion gag. More heartwarming or painful? Depends on how you really feel about your friends, whether you or they were the ones doing the crashing, and how how hard the impact is.

“Sure glad to run into you, Velma.” “Where’s Shag and Scoob?” Am I shameless and ridiculous for highlighting these as Frelma and Shaphne? Yes. Am I doing it anyway? Yes.

You can tell which background artists actually enjoyed or overthought (thank? thunk?) their job when some of the walls of the museum are plainly colored while others look like they have a texture similar to a cavern.

When Shaggy and Scooby open the sarcophagus they somehow landed in due to shenanigans: “Shaggy! What are you doing in there?” “Like, who knows? We just dropped in to see my mummy.”

I failed to mention this earlier bc I wasn’t sure it was worth posting but those random colored screens that come with funny noises to indicate necessary/unnecessary cuts from one scene to the next are back.

Shag and Scooby get distracted by food on a display in a WAX museum and fail to connect the dots.

“Now if the Wax Phantom doesn’t drop in on us—” *cue humongous trapdoor that swallows her, Fred, and Velma whole.* Danger-Prone-Daphne never fails to disappoint.

Shag and Scoob hijinks don’t get them out of trouble this time.

Hey, it’s me from the future. For some weird reason Tumblr is giving me trouble over making this post for this particular episode, so I will be doing the rest of the points super summarized that can only be enjoyed if you read them in your best caveman voice. Even then, this site will entire/partial points that will render the rest of this post as incomplete and clunky. Apologies for the mess. Have no idea how to make Tumblr stop deleting and resurfacing my bullet points. Maybe in the future I will re-edit the post and translate what I originally had.

Apologies again.

Velms find money. Fred remember it from station. Me forgot.

Velma stop foot. Open trap door. “Velma you amazing!” “Because me angry?”

Waxy push Shag and Scoob. Want to commit murder.

Shaggy no impressed by bad guy doing predictable bad guy stuff.

Scoob and Shag no roll off conveyor belt bc that too smart.

Daphne save her man and his dog. Accidentally yes but thought still count.

Waxy chase Shag and Scoob. Fred Daphne Velma chase Waxy.

Cinderella dress. Me like.

Oh no lovey dovey chase music. Me no like.

Ok actually me like but why lovey dovey?

Shaggy’s false lashes purty.

Song: Pretty Mary Sunlight. “I tell them girls were made for kissing.” And punching. We punch too.

Loony toons physics.

It work? Yes and no WUT??

Uh oh Fred has plan.

Shag and Scoob trick Fred before Fred lure them with Scooby Snacks.

Joke on them they do plan after all when accidentally meet Waxy.

Skateboards!

Fred does oopsy and kill Shag and Scoob with wax + Waxy???

No they alive and no burned bc children’s show.

Mr. Stevens = Waxy.

No explanation for why Waxy there earlier with Mr. Stevens in beginning bc writers don’t wanna ‘splain.

Animation Goof: purple neck Daph

Day 25 of no "And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!"

Shag and Scooby dummy word privileges deprecation privilages bc no no if someone else call them dummies.

Day 25 of no "And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!"

Day 25 of no “And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids!”

No ending gif bc tumblr no like me

Hey, this review for this episode has been giving me trouble for a while now because tumblr keeps messing with my drafts whether in progress or attempting to save them because my bullet points keep getting deleted or “deleted” only to randomly pop up later when trying to write other points.

Velma accidentally opens a secret stash of money that Fred deduces was stolen from the tv station. I had to rewind the episode to be reminded that was a thing in addition to Mr. Stevens getting caught.

“Velma! You did it again!” “What, lose my temper?” That too, but Velm’s little stomp of frifrustration of their situation triggered a secret door lever so the three of them can escape.

I see Shag + Scoob tied up and the Wax Phantom wheeling them close to a boiling bowl (??? I forget if their is a more technical term for the big bucket used to hold and mix things in factories and google isn’t helping.), and conclude this guy is capable of murder.

“Not the old ride-on-the-conveyor-belt-into-the-wax

Will the hovering ghost hand ever be explained? Also, Velma being the strongest by carrying Scooby carrying Shaggy as they escape.

The Wax Phantom…

Oh wait they found him pretty quickly. Fastest mystery solved??

Even without Shaggy and Scooby handling it in their dance routine, that toffee looks yucky.

Oh hey, the goopy monster of the week looks a sma tinge less gross than the toffee. Also, Johnny Sands/the host is gone, which means either he’s been nabbed by someone with a vendetta or he’s the culprit.

[wazzuppy]

kinda makes me emotional how in mystery incorporated, ALL of the gang are shown to feel outcast from their family in some way, and how having each other to lean on is what makes things better for them in the end.

like, daphne doesn't get along with her sisters, who constantly look down on her, and her parents are disapproving of her hobbies, friends, and boyfriend.

shaggy's parents are distant and the first chance they get they send him away to the military and scooby to a farm.

velma doesnt understand why her parents do what they do and so quickly believe in the supernatural, and in turn she feels like they dont understand her either.

and fred has such an insanely complicated and genuinely kind of sad relationship with every member of his family. the closest thing he has to a parent is the man who raised him-- and mayor jones is similarly unhappy with fred's interests and thinks he's strange-- and it turns out that not only is he not his real father, but that he's a criminal who HE helped catch. and when he finally meets his real parents after searching for them for so long (all while LITERALLY HOMELESS), they use him for their own gain.

but like,,, all of them are still so happy regardless. because they have each other. and even when they fight and break up and things are hard, they always come together in the end because they love one another so much. and that love is why they overcome the curse and stick together even after the universe is reset into an ideal world for them all. not only are they friends, but they're a family.

Where Are You? [2023]

Hey! My name is Roxy Goth. Like everyone else I've seen the backlash to 'Velma 2023' and it inspired me to write this. This is not a rewrite of Velma 2023, but it is mentioned. It focuses more on the gangs bond and will involve other properties from WB throughout.

I do not own any character except Gregory Goof.

It was a rare occasion that the Scooby Gang were called from Toontown to a meeting with W.B.

"Like, what do you think they want?" Shaggy asked, a bit nervously.

Velma rolled her eyes. "Probably another series."

"Like, how many more ways can we go?" Shaggy asked, as they all walked towards Mr Plotz's office. "We've been to nearly everywhere on earth, we've tried every single combination I can think off-"

"Not every combination, Shaggy." Fred said, meaningfully.

Daphne gave a short laugh and shook her head. "Oh Freddie. I keep telling you, they're not going to make a series with just you, Scooby and Shaggy. They'd be accused of sexism."

Fred frowned and said, slightly petulantly. "Maybe so, but I hope they're not getting rid of me again. Why is it whenever they want a new direction they get rid of me?"

"Don't flatter yourself." Velma said, adjusting her glasses. "They don't want me either half the time."

"Well this time, no more!" Shaggy exclaimed, throwing his arms out. "It's all or nothing. Remember?"

The gang all nodded. After 'Get A Clue' Shaggy and Scooby decided it wasn't really worth doing a solo deal again.

"Ah, gang." The door to Plotz's office was opened by the man himself. "Please, come in. We have a new director who is eager to meet you."

The new director was a Goofy Toon, one of the many background Toons that filled out the 50's Goofy shorts. This one was wearing a smart suit and a slightly nervous smile. He stood up as soon as the gang came through the door.

"Ah hello!" He stuck his hand out slightly aggressively, smile threatening to split his face. "I'm Gregory Goof and I am de-light-ed to meet you. Please, sit down."

With a slightly amused glance at one another the gang took their seats.

After a few preliminaries, Gregory launched into his vision for the show. "So, we've focused on a few of you these past years, but now I think it's Velma's time to shine-"

The brunette laughed and joked. "Well, it's about time!"

Gregory gave a tight smile and carried on. "It's going to be an adult-orientated series-"

"Wow, like, are we going to be allowed to be actual adults now?" Shaggy said, excitedly.

Gregory held his hands up. "Not exactly. You'll still be teenagers, but you - well, Velma specifically - will be investigating a series of murders."

"Murders?" Daphne said, with more excitement that was probably socially-acceptable. "Like Agatha Christie?"

"Yeah, basically teenagers in your school are being murdered and Velma is implicated in one. So she starts working to free herself, but she's slightly reluctant because her mother went missing ages ago-"

Velma raised an eyebrow

"-Daphne's an ex-friend and you two solved mysteries together when you were younger-"

Daphne and Velma exchanged a surprised glance.

"And Fred is a prime suspect in the murders-"

Fred had chosen that moment to take a drink of water. On hearing this he started choking and Shaggy had to slap him on the back a few times.

Undeterred, Gregory carried on. "And Norville-"

A sharp intake of breath from all the gang as Shaggy's eyes narrowed.

"Like, it's Shaggy." He said.

"You're still going to love snacks, but your cowardliness will be downplayed. You'll also talk a lot about how you hate drugs."

Shaggy frowned. "I do hate drugs." He said.

Gregory grinned and clicked his fingers. "See? We're on the same wave-length already!"

Shaggy gave Velma a look as if to say. 'Is he joking?'

"Also in this show you'll go by Norville and not Shaggy-"

"What!?" The beatnik nearly leapt out his chair. "Like, no way man, no way! My name is Shaggy, not Norville! It's been that way for nearly 60 years and it's, like, sure as hell not going to change now!"

"Mr Rodgers-" Plotz said, trying to intervene. "-Please, this isn't set in stone-"

"And, like, what about Scooby-Doo, huh? What? You're going to insist on calling him 'Mr Doo?' or, like, just 'That Dog', huh!?"

"Actually, Scooby isn't in it." Gregory said, casually.

There was a pause. For quite a long time. Then an explosion of 5 different sentences.

"Like, what!? How can you have a Scooby-Doo show without Scooby-Doo!?"

"Reah! I'm the star! People rove me!"

"As flattering as the idea of a show based on me is, I can't do it without Scooby-"

"You can't get rid of Scooby like that! He's the heart!"

"Yeah, who am I going to get for my traps otherwise?"

Daphne gave her husband a look. "Really? That's your point?"

"Oh, yeah." Gregory said, as if the thought had just occurred to him. "You're not doing traps in this series."

"What!? No traps?"

Gregory shrugged. "They don't fit the theme we're going for."

"Which is, like, what?" Shaggy asked, practically vibrating with anger. "Because it's sure as hell not Scooby-Doo!"

Gregory looked genuinely surprised at that. "It's not?"

"No!" Shaggy exclaimed, throwing his arms out. "Like, the point of Scooby-Doo - note the name, by the way - is that we're five friends, like, travelling around various places and most times we stumble across across mysteries. Sure, like, that might make us the unluckiest group of friends ever - that's why I'm always complaining about it 'in show' - but at the end of the day we're, like, friends and we love each other and YOU-" Here Shaggy pointed aggressively at the Goof, who clutched his clipboard across his chest protectively. "-are not going to change that! Understand?"

"Ok, Shaggy." Fred leaned across and rested a hand on his friends shoulder reassuringly. "Take a breath. We get it and I'm sure Mr Goof here isn't going to go foreword with this now he's heard our views, right friend?" The blonde looked at the Goof in a meaningful manner.

Unfortunately the goof didn't get the hint, lowering the clipboard slightly and saying, tightly. "Actually, I think you'll find that as you have a contract-"

"-I was hoping you'd bring that up" Velma said, smoothly plucking the contract out her hammerspace. "As you can see here in section D, subsection 2 it says 'the Scooby gang are required to do any adaption that Warner Bros requires as long as the idea does not go to far outside the realm of the established Scooby-Doo lore.'" She gave a bright smile to Gregory. "And I'm sure that you must agree that a Scooby-Doo adaption, without a Scooby Doo is definitely outside the lore. So-" She exchanged a quick glance with her fellow toons and they all nodded. "-We're going to say, thanks but no thanks."

As the gang got up to leave Gregory, in a slightly panicked state, got up and said. "Wait-" He knocked the table a little with his knee and let out a gasp of pain before carrying on. "-Look, it's a good deal! Don't you want to-"

"No." Shaggy said, firmly. "We don't. Like, bye." And with that the gang all headed out. Gregory looked like he was considering following them, but was distracted by Mr Plotz telling him to sit down.

Outside the gang were complaining to each other.

"Like, can you believe the nerve of that guy!?" Shaggy was saying. "A Scooby-Doo show without Scooby! What a ridiculous idea. We love you to much to ever do that to you." He assured the great dane.

Scooby smiled back and held his arms out. "Roup Rug?" He asked.

The rest of the gang laughed and hugged.

Scooby Doo: Sims Edition

Norville “Shaggy” Rodgers and his dog Scooby make a great pair. All they need is a Scooby snack.

Hair: Marso Sims

Shirt: KK Sims

Pants : Mclayne Sims

Shoes: Juis

[benjokazoo]

So far I've had few serious characters, and Burbark is certainly not the exception. My bugbear moon druid spoke in a surfer bro accent that accidentally shifted to Shaggy "Norville" Rodgers mid sentence. Besides horrifying bandits by eating their friends whole as a giant toad, they were mostly easy-going; smoking up a storm, talking to plants and animals, standard stuff. Think my mans retreated into the woods when the party got a little too murdery.

[llycaons]

I only watch the um actuallys with brennan because I enjoy his melodrama but by coincidence ify was in the one I watched today and I had just listened to the magic tavern episode where he guest-starred so I was like *beyonce meme* IFY??!! he's so funny and I went onto his twitter and saw a palestinian superhero bodying zionist spiderman 👍

anyway I like um actually only when it's about franchises I know about. like mp100 came up and I was like I KNOW THAT ONE!!! and only one of the contestants knew it and he was describing the show to the others like ohoho how strange and mysterious okay anime isn't that weird just chill out

but the real kicker was that they were all playing a game like 'this very formal and unfamiliar name refers to a characters commonly known as something else' and it was entirely inverse for me. like they knew the 4 I didn't know and I knew they two that none of them knew. I was screaming at my phone GUYS!!!! NORVILLE RODGERS IS SHAGGY!!!!! YOU NEVER WATCHED THE OLD SCOOBY-DOO??!!! also was kind of surprised that none of them knew jughead's legal name given that this was a recent episode and riverdale had been running for a while

[anonymousrobinhoodqueer]

I have now tried weed. It tasted bad. But was cool to smoke as an anti smoker. Vision somehow better. Also before my related % to norville (shaggy) rodgers was like 100% but now it’s 420%

[that-one-awkward-alien]

Out of curiosity I decided to watch a couple of episodes of Mystery Incorporated and it’s the first episode and Daphne has been friend zoned, Fred is screaming gay boi at me, Velma is just tryna get jiggy, but Shaggy ain’t having it because of the DAMN DOG!

What is happening?

[itsseaweedgreen]

I’m re-watching Scooby-Doo and The Alien Invaders...

[cocoabubbelle]

Watching “Scooby Doo, Where Are You?” (1969-1970 CBS) + Thoughts

Episode 21: Scooby’s Night with a Frozen Fright

Frozen Neanderthal/Caveman?

Fraphne dancing.

Shelma (Velma inviting Shaggy to dance.)

How cold is that big thing of ice that it didn’t melt in the ocean and on the way to Oceanland (that’s the science place’s name.)?

I think Professor Wayne (scientist with the glasses and light brown hair) is the culprit. Why, do you ask? In the back of my mind, he looks a lot like another unmasked culprit i faintly recall as a child whenever ads for this show would play. Of course, I could be wrong and it’s actually Professor Ingstrom (scientist with the black hair and mustache.). Let’s resume watching.

Scooby playing with Octopus baby only for Momma Octopus to scare him away.

Prof. Ingstrom sounding suspicions when he tells Prof. Wayne he has “things to do.” For some reason, I feel like he’s a red herring.

Another Malt Shop.

Shaggy forgetting his fishing rod and reel at Oceanland gives the gang an excuse to return and spoil whatever plans the culprit was going to get away with.

Unlocked doors + no security, as usual.

Shaggy dragging Scooby along because if he’s forced to stay then so does Scooby.

“Jumping Jellybeans!”

Animation Goof: Scooby picks up an orange and brown parka (Prof. Ingstrom’s), but in the close up it is green and white. It’s identified as Prof. Wayne’s.

Animation Goof: Shaggy’s mouth disappears when trying to call the sheriff on the phone.

When Scooby is hesitant to follow Velma’s instruction to sniff out the caveman’s footprints: “You heard the lady.” Yessir, your lady 🥰 I’m sorry it was too perfect to not be a Frelma moment.

Scooby Gang catches Prof. Ingstrom trying to communicate with dolphins.

Ok I’ll admit Ingstrom hiding in the shack only for the Caveman to appear when Fred open’s its door looks sus, but I still think it’s Prof. Wayne.

Velma the strongest carrying everyone again. Headcanon she’s in a female weightlifting class.

My sis giggled when she saw Fred, Velma, and Daphne hanging on the other side of the door the Caveman opened.

Another clue why Caveman might not be Ingstrom: the latter looks like an animal lover, while Caveman is a jerk and finds joy in stomping on a dog’s tail.

Shaggy and Scooby use *disguise as sea lions without costumes* IT’S SUPER EFFECTIVE!!! (not)

I just realized that Oceanland was this series’s version of Sea World.

I vote someone else besides Fred takes a turn dividing up who gets to be in which team when splitting up.

Scooby crashing a gigantic ice block on one side of a locked door caused it to go through the keyhole and come out as a perfectly shaped key to unlock door.

What’s the point of splitting up the gang if you don’t bother showing what Fred and Daphne do to contribute getting more clues to the mystery (in this case — and in most cases with these two and sometimes Velma— it’s nothing.)

6 more minutes for the episode to finish. This means Fred’s trap won’t work.

Danger Prone Daphne leaned too far over the railing and accidentally falls, pulling Velma and Fred along with her, onto Shaggy and Scooby.

Another Chase Scene with a cheesy song. I was wondering what was missing.

It IS Professor Wayne!!!

Animation Goof: Prof. Ingstrom’s mustache is skin-colored.

“And it [Ingstrom’s invention] would have been mine, if it weren’t for those meddling kids!” My sis: *looks at me*; Me: …almost, but not really; My sis: 🙄

Day 21 of no “And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids.” Ok, I admit the above is one of the closest to the iconic phrase, but still 🤪

[fredjoneswife]

Different Mystery Incorporated members when they’re sick because it just popped up in my head

Fred: *tries to pretend like he’s not* *cries about them making traps and splitting up and solving mysteries while he’s at home*

Daphne: “oh no, I’m okay” *tries to get Fred’s attention*

Velma: *doesn’t mention it but everyone kind of knows* *still does work*

Shaggy: *getting smothered by scooby* *eating even more then he does usually*

Scooby: *getting smothered by the whole group* *has either no appetite or eats everything they could find* 

[hikiclawd]

shaggy rodgers kicked out of the blunt rotation for going "uwaaa is this like an indirect kiss!? >///<"

[characterarcs]

No Scooby-Doo adaptation will ever top the masterpiece that was ‘Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated’!

I like to think that I'm at least funnier than my cousin. @caninegame94
