A Pup Named Scooby-Doo

This is TFJU and Mike with the Gatecast Radio

Network. This is prefacing a Pup Named Scooby

-Doo episode for Tooncast. Just like to let everybody

know that Dion for some reason was fading in

and out. But it's pretty much cool. There should

be no audio breakups or lags in response. Also

at the very end there will be two closing themes

because in a Pup Named Scooby -Doo the very first

episode had an instrumental only closing theme

and then the rest of the show had a regular theme

that was sung by the D - group that that they

had had working on the show so please stay tuned

for that Hello and welcome to the sixth episode

of tune cast The hell was I gonna talk about

now? Oh, yeah brought you by the ecast radio

network. I am your OSDF doing Mike and I am joined

by Drunk professor and the music man Say hello

guys before we start going to dead air here no,

no What's up? Mr. Delay the show a day and all

that kind of crap. I'm tired, man. I'm wasted.

I'm this. I'm that. I was not wasted. Let's get

that out of the way right now. Don't even lie.

You know you had six bottles of Yeager. No. That's

zero. That's zero. No sleep, yes. But today we'll

be discussing a pup named Scooby -Doo. Nice segue

to the save there, Kevin. Well, he's not saved

yet. So what's been going on with you guys this

past week? I just want the listeners to have

a look at the last 15 minutes. No. Anyway. Anyway.

What's been going on with you, Kevin? You're

drunk. Let's see. Last week, a lot of stuff was

going on. In the last week, I looked at 15 different

houses. Looking at. two more a second time tomorrow

so there's a good chance I might be putting an

offer in a house by the end of the week so that's

exciting news for me at least um let's see one

week from tomorrow the Transformers of Matrix

of Leadership complete series collection should

be showing up at my door so that's awesome and

what else is going on oh that's not That's it

shows just from that little piece of news. That's

it. No show shows over You bastard. I want that

set damn it Okay, so I guess I won't mention

that a week after that the GI Joe said I don't

care about that one Let's see other stuff that's

been going on this week the the Transformers

tournament is still ongoing over at TFW 2005

when this airs if you want to head over there

and vote the Contest that will be going on when

this airs is Mixmaster against Vortex will be

ending and the one that will be beginning when

this airs is top spin against scrapper So that's

still in the first round. So that's been some

fun so far debating the different characters

there that tops and top spins a bit We've had

a couple of sets so far so And with the give

you an update on the behind the voice actors

comm recently we've well basically I have updated

the Peter Cullen page so you can actually go

to Peter Cullen's page and listen to At least

15 different characters that he's voiced, and

I'm trying to get a few more done here in the

next little bit. So that's a new feature that's

going on over there. They also actually have

a pretty cool feature going on over there called

Voice This, where they basically put a kind of

like a, where you provide the caption, but instead

you provide a voice. So they put a picture up

of a scene and they take entries from different

people and kind of a little be your own voice

actor type person, and you can record a caption

for that. that picture so it's kind of fun to

play around with. Yeah I went over there the

other day and I had sent you a message on Skype

I said you'll need to get Donatello on there.

Yeah that's I've got two things going on this

week I just finished with Peter Cullen after

that I'm tackling a huge project to try to get

the Frank Welker page more complete. And after

that I'm gonna start adding some more of the

voice compares with them starting with the turtle

saw hopefully get some Donatello Raphael Leonardo

Yeah, I don't I think it's gonna take me a long

time So that's what I got going on so far what

about you neon I just ordered my dawn peak CDs.

I'm waiting for those. I thought you're gonna

say you just ordered a pizza Hey waiting a half

hour for Philly steak cheesesteak sandwiches

is different than delaying the show a day. Gotta

get my shots in when I can. Fourth of July drunk.

I'm sorry I'm sorry go ahead Dion. You know what

that was just too damn funny I don't care. But

I ordered my Don Peak CDs I'm waiting for those

to show up plus he's actually giving me a free

Jazz CD. No, no cost and I'm actually trying

to get You're fading again, I Don't know why

I have I can hear you now I Was gonna say I don't

know why I don't know I just faded out there

for a minute. Oh Anyway, I was saying um, I'm

trying to get Ron Hitchcock's website promoted

a little bit. I did that on my internet And you're

fading again And now he can hear you I Don't

dude I do not know what is wrong with Skype.

I Really think maybe Skype just doesn't let you

doesn't want you promoting on its cogs website

Just doesn't like us. Oh, yeah, I know Yeah,

yeah, we know eBay anyway I was trying to promote

a website on my show and that. So yeah, there

you go. There's been my weekend. Yeah, my week's

been kind of eventful and non -eventful. We finally

got TFG121 working and able to download after

about four days after it was supposed to be released.

Did you break it? No, Steve broke it. Oops. He

didn't have the file right and plus the damn.

I don't know why it's either iTunes or it's the

feed I'm not sure but It shows up below episode

double zero because it has according to iTunes.

It has no date on it Because mostly the new episodes

that the newest episodes will show up at the

very top because obviously it's the most recent

date Yeah, I don't know So actually TFG one podcast

obviously it's i i don't use itunes and it's

not that i'm knocking it i just don't knock it

all the time don't lie actually i don't knock

it now that this now that the scripts for my

screen reader are totally free so i might i might

I might start using iTunes just to see how I

like it But um, yeah, I'll look in Clango later

on tonight where that because you said it's episode

22, you know 21 is the one we just released but

anyway Okay I'll look I'll look and see where

that ends up in my list and then you know I'm

sure I'll say it throughout whatever other podcasts

I record this week, but I'm I'm not an over patriarch

I'm a patriot, but I'm not like overly enthused

about it like I don't sit there setting off fireworks

at 430 in the fucking morning on July 5th Where

I don't think that has anything to do I don't

think it has to do either I think it has to do

with people wanting to light shit on fire But

that's beside the point the point is have I saw

your tweet dude Have more fucking sense than

to light fireworks off at four in the fucking

morning when people sleep I saw your tweets and

I'm like Rear! I didn't know I was like okay

look I understand what he's saying but at the

same damn time dude People spend like two to

three to five hundred dollars on fireworks. What

the hell are they supposed to do with them? And

then we wonder why there's so many people on

welfare Hmm yeah, no, it's true These people

go out and spend all this money on freaking fireworks.

No, you're right, dude So I think we're gonna

get into the It's what they want to do with their

money, so there you go. Let's just nail that

down here. Yeah, I think we're going to get into

the show topic today, which is... Let's see if

I can find the right thing. His son have been

queued up! Aw, shut up! Alright, that's it. Here's

one for you. Actually, I'm gonna have to do it

like this I have to do it this way. So where

our main show topic today is We are going to

go on to the history lesson, and the drunk professor

is going to take it away. All right, nerds. It

is time for another history lesson, and this

is the not drunk professor of OzKDog bringing

it to you. For episode six, we go back to 1988

for, as you could tell from the theme song, A

Pup Named Scooby Doo. Burden with Hanna -Barbera's

time -worn, retro notion of exploring the childhood

years of its established characters, Scooby -Doo,

the world's favorite chicken -hearted canine,

returns in this series as a cute but clumsy puppy,

along with the kid versions of his friends Shaggy,

Daphne, Freddy, and Velma as they solve kid -sized

mysteries. The show managed to revitalize the

old concept with wacky Tex Avery -style humor,

parodies of rock videos and spoofs of murder

she wrote, and other live -action sleuthers.

Best of all, the series lampooned the Scooby

-Doo format itself. This Saturday morning half

-hour series debuted on ABC September 10th 1988

and ran until September 1st 1990. It was later

rebroadcast on both ABC and the Cartoon Network

off and on for the rest of the 90s and has appeared

on the boomerang networks in the 2000s. The series

lasted for a total of 30 episodes. All right,

let's move on to the rest of the episode. This

has been the sober Professor Boss K -Dog, and

class is dismissed. He's drunk. Don't let him

lie to you folks. I'm telling you, he is drunk.

I saw him wavering into the studio. He is talking

like this. And if he was going into class, they

would all look at him like, oh my god, class

is dismissed. Let's go to recess. Let's go home,

man. Yeah, let's go home. No class today. I sound

like sea spray there for a minute anyway So yeah,

I think we're gonna end it with this Time for

the general memories and recollections Well,

let's get into some off -air stuff because last

night right before we're ready to record the

drunk professor over there A general memory.

Yes. Well, this is leading up to the general

memories because you have no recollection and

are not a fan of this show. Poor sheltered child.

This show is awesome. Hold on, hold on. Let me

defend myself. Remember, this show is airing

between 1988 and 1990. So? And in 1988 and 1990,

for me, there was a lot of better choices on

TV for cartoons. We had Cops, Teenage Mutant

Ninja Turtles, DuckTales, Rescue Rangers, Garfield,

Denver the Last Dinosaur, and the second incarnation

of a real American hero from G .I. Joe. So pardon

me if a kid version of Scooby -Doo was not at

the top of my list. Well, okay, and I can understand

that, but it wasn't up top of my list either,

but... Since I found it in No, well, no, I actually

turning away from the spectacle is actually scooby

-doo. Where are you? I hate that show See, I

was a big fan of the original scooby -doo I think

my problem is it doesn't matter what show it

is if it's I take that back There's only one

exception, but if it's a show that is taking

kid versions of others Of an already established

show, I tend not to be a big fan at first. I'm

not saying it's not a good show. It's just not

something that usually gets my interest, a kid

version of a regular show. I didn't like it when

the Flintstones did it. There's been a ton of

them that have done it. There's one incarnation

of Scooby -Doo that I'm really not a big fan

of. And that's the What's New Scooby -Doo shit.

So there you go. Like 13 ghosts Yeah, I like

13 ghosts, but I'm talking about the new stuff

that they got out this year. Okay Yeah, what's

new scooby -doo was the last two years and now

it's shaggy and scooby -doo get a clue. I do

think that scooby -doo has the most incarnations

of different shows than Out of all cartoons ever

pretty much. Yeah I don't think anything else

comes even close but no, but a pump was it was

cool because and and I think it different It

was different than the rest of them as far as

like, you know, the Flintstones and everything

else that was doing, you know, the kid version

stuff. Like I said before, I like it just because

it's much cooler. It's less scarier. I mean,

yeah, it's scary. Of course, we all know it's

just some guy in a mask or some woman in a mask

at the end, just like in the original Scooby

-Doo, Where Are You? But I mean, if you look

at Scooby -Doo, Where Are You? You sit a five

-year -old down in front of that. they're gonna

piss their pants. No seriously if you look at

the intro you look at the Batman crossover intro

that they did there is a there's a scene in the

intro where Shaggy opens a filing cabinet and

this orange flame jumps out at him I mean what

kid isn't gonna be scared of that but I mean

this this was actually really really cool I liked

it a lot better Course like probably Kevin. I

don't have a real childhood memory of it, but

just catching it on Cartoon Network over the

last ten years in syndication Even though it's

only played once in the morning now at least

there's DVD Yeah, they used to do it like they

used to do it like all day long sometimes they

would do like a whole whole morning Morning marathon

yeah, but at least I have it on DVD now, so if

I need a good laugh I can always pop it in So

what are your general memories of it? I'll let

Deion take that one. I'll be very honest. I never

knew the show existed until like 90. And it wasn't

that I didn't watch it. It wasn't that I wasn't

a fan. I just never knew it existed until 90.

But when I saw it, I thought it was great. They

did a very good job of it. I was hoping that

they would have done more than what they did,

but they didn't. So, you know, I mean, it's like

Mike said, you know, and Kevin, you know, Kevin,

you touched on it a little bit, too. You know,

Scooby Doo has probably had more incarnations

of a show than any other character I've known.

Yep. So. Yeah, I mean I didn't know it existed

until yesterday. No, I'm just kidding He's probably

not lying folks. He's always been on a drinking

binge since July 3rd Anyways, I do remember being

on TV when I was a kid. Actually, I don't remember

ever really watching a lot of it. Like I said,

because I didn't like the kid versions of regular

shows. But I will give it credit that one good

thing about it that I do kind of like is that

it actually makes fun of itself and the regular

Scooby -Doo show, which we'll get more into when

we get into a later part of the episode. But

I like the fact that it was able to recognize

how long it had been around and some of the the

key things about the scooby -doo franchise and

then actually step back and make fun of it a

little bit I enjoyed that part I will say that

it had a lot of comedic moments oh yeah it had

a lot more comedic moments than the original

scooby -doo where are you show I mean it the

scooby -doo where are you show did have comedic

moments but not as many as this you know this

show did what do you think mushroom man scooby

as Now remember, I didn't say it! Let's see,

where is that clip? You smug son of a - It's

not my fault the Domino's computers are fucking

broke and they don't know how to read something.

Anyways, um... Domino's, we're sorry for that

fault over time. No, it's true, the general,

actually the guy that answered the phone was

the general manager. And he said, sorry, the

computer's not working. It's not reading your

selections. So anyway, I liked it better because

it was more relatable for me than the older show.

Yeah, I liked Scooby and Shaggy in the older

show. I really could give a crap less about Velma,

Daphne, or Freddy in the older show. Daphne was

just stupid. Velma was too much of a smart, smart

-ass. Yeah, and then some of the ones with scrappy.

I thought that was kind of cool, but oh hey scrappy

dual rules shut up. Oh No, we are direct opposites

in our scooby -doo You like I? Say no partially

and here's why when I first saw scrappy in scooby

-doo I honestly thought that they were going

a bit too far with Bringing in you know family

members of the scooby -doo clan. I mean you had

scooby -dum You know which I mean He tries to

be a detective like his uncle scooby, but it

or his cousin But you know it just well the name

says it all scooby -dum Yes, I know that No,

I know that I understand that but you got scrappy

-doo. Who's this puppy who's trying to be all

tough? And it just, it didn't work for him. Maybe

that's why I never watched any of the extra or

later Scooby -Doo incarnations. I honestly think

that - I hated Scrappy. No, I don't, I don't

hate him. I just think for a puppy that size,

it just didn't work being as tough as he - See,

I thought it - I thought it was cute. I thought

it was cute. I did think he was cute, but I just

didn't think it worked for him. But I did watch,

I did watch them. So I don't, I'm not saying

I hate Scrappy, I think he's cute. I just didn't

think he worked in, you know, some of the cartoons.

The drawing professor is wrong. Scrappy rules.

We move on to the characters and voice actors

segment. And looking at this list, before we

even start going into the topics of the actual

list, there is a lot of Transformers crossover.

Oh, there's a lot of everything crossover in

this one. This is a bit different than the last

couple episodes we've done. Probably last, I

don't know. two or three if not more episodes

because we've had a lot of episodes lately where

we've been dealing with cartoons that a very

small cast did the the voices and this this is

a very large cast yeah but i mean just looking

at this first part of the list you have michael

bell you have uh... richard goddard uh... see

who else kasey kason well he wasn't really wasn't

as far as kasey kason frank welker i mean just

those names alone are transformed crossovers

arthur burkart Yeah, there's quite a few. Yep,

very much so. And of course, the ever -impressive

Don Messick is Scooby -Doo, which I believe,

even though Dylan will probably correct me and

say no, it wasn't, but I believe this was Don's

last thing as Scooby -Doo. I read that somewhere

saying a pup named Scooby -Doo was the last time

he voiced Scooby. No, he did something in 95

94 to 95. I think he started to do the other

one, but he don't I don't think he This is his

final finish of of a scooby -doo roll Because

he liked he like out of nowhere just like stopped

doing voices in like 96 or something wasn't it?

He said that he said he did say I know there

was a movie that came out in 95 I just do not

remember the name of it right now, but he he

did say that um He stopped smoking so he couldn't

do the Scooby voice anymore That's interesting

Yeah, he actually he used to smoke and that was

the only way he could get the Scooby voice when

he quit smoking. That was it Just like like Mike

was saying before that not to back up a little

bit But this this is a star -studded cast and

not only with the Transformers I just want to

just real quick take about ten seconds and just

name a couple of the other names of people that

are involved in this some of These are gonna

be repeats, but we said you know Michael Bell

you had June for a Casey case and Richard Gaudier

Don Messick BJ Ward Frank Welker Charlie Adler

I mean there is a ton of people in this just

to name a couple more we had Trace McNeil again

Alan Oppenheimer from He -Man fame. So, I mean,

this was not a bad mix of people that were doing

voices. That's not a bad mix of actors. Right.

No, it was not. You know, I'm looking through

here and I'm not seeing anybody that provided

the voice for Scrappy. Oh, wait, that's because

Scrappy sucks. Shut the hell up. I didn't say

it. I would like to point that out right now.

Yeah, I didn't say I know you didn't say it did

I say that you said it? No, I didn't say that

you say it so shut the hell up I can tell I'm

gonna have to use that a lot this episode in

this incarnation of scooby -doo What are out

of the little kid versions of all these characters?

Who's which ones do you guys like which ones

do you dislike? Take it away. I'm trying to prove

you wrong over here looking up Don Messick stuff.

So I didn't say that it was right, Mike. I'm

just saying that that's the last role I know

of that he did in 95. OK, all right. OK, all

right. According to Wiki, Scooby -Doo in later

roles. In 1969, he was cast as the cowardly canine

Scooby -Doo on Scooby -Doo. This role would remain

Messick's biggest and best known. He voiced the

Great Dane through all of the various versions

of Scooby -Doo on television in numerous formats

from 1969 to 1985 for telefilms and a number

of commercials as well. Messick was still voicing

the role when a pup named Scooby -Doo came along

from 1988 to 1991 and it does not say anything

else as far as the later years as far as more

Scooby stuff. It talks about the Jetsons Uniblab,

Mr. Spacely, stuff like that. So like I said,

I read somewhere other than here, other than

Wiki, that a pup named Scooby Doo was his last

thing, because I think 13 ghosts happened before

this. Yeah, it did. It happened in the early

80s. Exactly. So this was Don's last Scooby roll.

So because I I saw a movie in night that was

put out in 95 and it may have been done while

He was still doing the scooby voice and that

may have was it because I wasn't a scooby -doo

live -action movie that you saw No, this was

an animated series or animated movie. I don't

know. All right Anyway, who's your favorite least

favorite whatever? Oh Boy I don't I don't i honestly

don't know uh... getting uh... will clarify this

or nobody nobody complains about us being wrong

i think we're correct if we say about names who

we do with the last television series that he

did yes what he did it was part of what we do

as he did some other like one -timers on t b

he did like you know scooby -doo and raving nights

was just a little thing did video games is that

straight to video type stuff no other actual

television series right Alright, so anyway, so

don't complain shut the hell up. I'm talking

to the listeners drunk I think probably one of

my favorite characters is Shaggy just because

he's he could be a bit He's a bit of the comic

relief Since we are talking about Shaggy. Let's

see what he has to say about himself if I can

find it Let's see. Where's Shaggy Shaggy Shaggy

Shaggy I might have Tom Rover talking about Shaggy

in school. Shaggy is pretty much Shaggy at any

time or place in history or even at age 12. We

can see all the beginnings of who Shaggy will

become. He's already saying, he's already constantly

famished. He always wants to be chowing down.

He's already pretty much scared of his own shadow.

And he already has his pet, a puppy named Scooby

-Doo. And these two are two peas in a pod. They're

always together. If Shaggy and Scooby can avoid

work, they will avoid work. If they can avoid

work and eat, I mean, that's even better. That's

the perfect plan. We did include Shaggy's family

because Shaggy and Scooby are the number one

unit in this and we wanted to see their home

life. His dad is the police chief and his little

sister and Shaggy lives in a very typical looking

house, but it always has the Christmas lights

strung up all year round. That comes from me

because one year I did leave my Christmas lights

up from one Christmas to the next. and the neighbors

were pretty uh fed up with that i hate hiding

from a monster on an empty stomach so when all

else fails on my end you can always depend on

tom ruger yeah i think my favorite and in this

one in all other scooby -doo incarnations is

scooby i mean i don't think you can beat him

not in this one in the other ones i don't think

you can beat him in any of them That's debatable.

I think it's Scooby Doo. Where are you? He wasn't

really that great. But in this one, you can't

beat him, no. Scrappy rules. Anyways. Yes, he

does. Shut up. Probably my least favorite character

would be Red Hairy. Yeah, I actually thought

Red was funny in some aspects. And here is Freddy

in Red. wait no that's the wrong one where's

freddy and red freddy here it is you're cruising

for a bruising jones don't touch my bike just

watch and that came from a scene where freddy

thought that red had stolen shaggy's red bike

and he took a sandblaster to red's blue bike

Yeah, that was a very, very funny one. I'm going

to have to agree with Dion on this one. I think

Red's my least favorite character on the show,

too. But that's only because Scrappy's not in

it. No, I'm not saying Red's bad. It's like Mike

said, Red is funny in some aspects. But in some

of the aspects, he's just lame. I've got the

DVD set here with me. In the episode, what is

it? Wanted to score Where is it? It was the oh

the schnook who took my comic book Where he touches

where he touches commander cools that time? Travelling

gizmo that he's like he's like get me out of

here. That's not very funny Yep, he's always

saying that that's oh, yeah, yeah And then another

one with Freddy was after the aftermath of Freddy's

sandblasting his bike Right Red took his bike

and ran Freddy over in the following scene It's

got Daphne in a nurse's uniform and she's dabbing

Freddy's nose with a claw but he's like when

he start bounces he start bounces up and down

and he's got a clear tire tread from his stomach

all the way up to over his forehead from a bicycle

as funny as I Have to say my two favorite out

of all of them uh... is scooby and velma because

their their relationship between the two of them

was kinda cool but you know scooby is kinda sweet

on her more than every you know it as far as

the two females go uh... and also in that episode

with uh... the uh... what is it uh... the first

episode a bicycle built for boo which is the

one where uh... shaggy's bike gets stolen and

it's for the chain for for the newspaper guy

anyway um... in that episode scoobies trying

to hunt down the paper or the or the bike and

uh... He's got he's saying he's got him on the

leash and scooby just takes off at full speed

Running with shaggy like flying up in the air

behind him and out of the garage of shaggy's

house comes Velma Daphne and Freddy Velma's on

this skid motor road motorized skateboard controls

and Freddy's like mystery away. Oh or whatever

else and The next thing you see down the street

shaggy's like slow down scooby slow down and

behind them is like The other three, Freddie

and Daphne are like, slow down, Velma, slow down.

So I thought Scooby and Velma both like speed.

Yeah, they do. They're very just, I don't know.

It's not that they're hyper. It's not that they're

hyper, but I happen to tend to agree with you,

Mike. I think Velma and. scooby were you know

just you know they were friends and what not

they seem to like each other a lot you know did

either of you guys get a disconnect from from

some of the kid characters to the adult characters

I mean I think some of them some of them managed

to make sense like yeah that's the kid version

of the adult guy and I and I recognize them as

the same character but some of them to me seem

like completely different no I did it depends

on when you watch first no okay uh... i didn't

really at all uh... just because you know here's

uh... mister ruder on deafening i think i played

this offer but here it is again one of the one

characters Did you say shopping mall? We've taken

this lovely girl that we all know as sort of

just kind of a straight man in the older series.

And now she's quite a little character. You have

a subway station in your house? Oh, of course.

Don't you? Daphne Blake is very wealthy, but

when she's 12 years old she's very much into

her fashion. She wears go -go boots. She's a

bit vain. Pringles! She's also completely skeptical

of every sort of monster or villain that comes

around. She doesn't believe in ghosts. Get real.

Get serious. There are no such things as ghosts.

She's voiced by Kelly Martin. This place is grody.

Who's done unto great things. When she came in

for the audition, Kelly nailed it because she

could scream like no one's business. The most

blood curdling scream out of like a 12 year old

that you've ever heard. And now Daphne doesn't

scream at the cloppy green ghost or the cheese

monster. Daphne screams when mud gets on her

clothing. So I love Daphne. As far as the differences,

I mean I remember watching Scooby Doo or RU.

differences for Daphne in this series she wears

pink in the original series she wears purple

you gotta realize the original when did the original

series run in the sixties right but when was

it like 1969 wasn't it supposed to be set the

the actual show timeline it was supposed to be

set in what the seventies exactly and that's

what they were going for and I've got a And I've

got a clip of Mr. Ruger saying that as well but

you know as he said you know in the older series

she's more of a you know damsel in distress kind

of like unfunny like really non sequitur character

I mean in almost every episode of scooby -doo

or are you she's the one that's in trouble Yeah,

but also in scooby -doo. Where are you? She was

yeah, so not a dream though as As her 12 year

old self is but I don't know but I mean, so I

really don't see a dissimilarity in them You're

just having you're just having drunken illusions

you're on yourself on that No, and for those

of you that aren't familiar with Kelly Martin

You have said that she'd gone on it to some other

fame Probably the most notable thing she's done

is at least for me is Lucy Knight in the ER series

About 36 episodes of ER Wow Yeah, I wonder that

was You know, so that would have been the probably

the last time you guys, you know people out there

have seen her She's got a couple bits here and

there but that's the last main role. She had

thank God they dropped car inside that house

on but they finally they've been fired right

they find a way to set the bomb i do have others

that are going on to the voice actors things

with voice actors stuff i do have other ones

i do have one first to be in one for freddy in

red so i don't know if i don't know not sure

what's yeah yeah i do up with all the first Velma

said, chinkies. It must be a clue. Look for me.

Of course, there's Velma Dinkley. Wonderful design

on her. She's just got a big round head, just

a tiny little girl. She used the sort of old

yogi bear. And she walks along. Aha. Velma spoke.

Originally, we conceived Velma as being almost

totally silent. Occasionally, she would say,

chinkies. And then her computer screen, she'd

be working on her computer, it would come up

with all these extremely important clues and

theories. I'll bet they almost got this whole

thing figured out. Well, Daphne, the first clue

was the missing snow making machine. But we found

that she has to explain some of this stuff because

Daphne, Freddy and Shaggy probably couldn't comprehend

what was on the computer screen. Exactly. So

that's Tom's explanation of Velma's characterization.

And like Dion said earlier, in the older series,

she is much more stuck up as far as being super

smart. In this one, she's kind of like... She

flaunts it way too much. She is smart in the

older series, but she, I think... Oh yeah. Yeah,

there's a bit of a conceited. Yep, very much

so. There's a bit of conceitedness there. I think

we can go on to playing Scooby really quick And

then once we get into the actual I'll play Scooby

and then Freddy and Red and then once we get

into the actual meat and potatoes of the show

I'll play the gang and the villains and stuff

like that The original series, Scooby -Doo Where

Are You, had this great dog character who was

added to this group of sleuths and of course

he kind of took over the show. Scooby has always

appealed to kids of all ages. I mean, he is just

an incredibly lovable, big doofus of a scared

dog. Basically, he's a real dog and yet sometimes

his tail will like... become a pointer and have

a point at the end or his nose will beep and

when he's tracking something and it'll blow red

almost like Rudolph and on one occasion his nose

actually jumped off his face and ran down the

street. It's a seaweed monster! Scooby has some

funny little looks he does now and one is just

like his little his mouth. How about a Scooby

snack? Scooby is clearly just wild about Scooby

snacks. Here we're seeing Scooby in his formative

years and here we're seeing Scooby have his first

Scooby snack. Stephanie and the gang have often

been able to sort of bribe him into acts of bravery

with the promise of a Scooby snack. Now Scooby

has always been fond of Scooby snacks. Scooby

snacks, of course, come in many flavors that

Scooby and Shaggy enjoy. Creamy garlic. Spaghetti

bread. I always felt that Scooby snacks were

indeed dog biscuits. Shaggy would probably beg

to differ. Sorry, Daphne, but even I wouldn't

do it for one. That they are much better than

your standard dog biscuit and therefore he's

going to take a sample. He does enjoy food. Scooby

-dooby -doo! Yes, that, you know, is Scooby in

a nutshell, and if that segment doesn't warm

everyone's heart up to a pup named Scooby -doo,

then you're all fucking heartless. Oh, most definitely.

I will say that Don will surely be missed for

that role. Actually, just really quick before

we move on. He was very good at that role. I

did not even know Dan Gilbazan was in this show

until the game show episode for Letter or Worse.

He is the game show host, Davey the Letter Guy.

And as soon as I heard that voice, I'm like,

what the fuck? Bumblebee is on Scooby Doo? Holy

shit. I was like, hell yeah. I know, I was really

surprised. Yeah, I think he did more than that.

I'm not sure how many other voices he did. I'm

not sure. Well, additional voices, Tress McNeil.

Holy crap, she's everywhere. She's been in almost

every fucking show we've talked about on ToonCast.

Holy shit, yes is I Like I like Frank Welker's

credits in this one you got like the actual characters

that it's yeah, I know mr. Boo Robo pub Uncle

Eddie then of course various animals. Yeah So

yeah that that's pretty much all we've got for

the voice actors stuff, so I think we're gonna

move on All right, we are gonna move on to the

creators Segment and yeah, I realized that I

ended the last one with yeah, we're gonna move

on and now we're moving on Well, oh well, I'm

just used to saying it like that The production

companies we have Hanna -Barbera productions

Okay, I'm not reading that one. Oh, come on.

It's your favorite one. You put that one in there

on fucking purpose The distributors are ABC Warner

Brothers and the series was directed by Don Lusk

Peter Sommer Arthur Davis Oscar do fowl. I think

that's how it said I don't know, I'm probably

butchering it, but oh well. Bob Goh, Ray Patterson,

and Carl Urbano. The series had tons of writing

credits. Nobody that I really know other than

Tom Ruger. I think he must have had a bigger

role than just writer because they wouldn't have

put him on - He's one of the producers too. Okay,

I was going to say because they wouldn't have

just put him on - This one for writer on a DVD

talking about characters. Oh hell. No, you'd

have to be involved more than that Oh, yeah,

yeah, there was quite a few writers I will just

name the ones that did the most since there was

about three of them that did at least You know

were involved in the writing for at least about

20 of the episodes that meaning Obviously they

they shared some of the episodes in the writing

since there was only 30 episodes total but Bill

Matheny Lane Raker and and Laren bright. I have

no idea if I'm saying their names right, but

they were the main writers in the series Yeah,

yep And then of course the producers you have

Hannah and Barbera William Hanna and Joseph Barbera

by whom I believe both have passed away now I

think yes, or is Joe's no Joseph passed away

Yeah, yeah and then Tom Ruger Scott Gerald's

Bill Matheny And then of course the music I think

it's John Dabney not Debney because I have his

I have back to the future soundtrack on my iPhone

and I think it's spelled Dabney He did the music

for this show Yeah, 27 episodes of it so it's

the same guy that did the back to back to the

future Also, for 24 out of the 30 episodes, guess

who did the casting? Andrea Romano. She has been

in almost every show we've talked about as well.

She has. And then the other 14 episodes was Chris

Zimmerman. And just for the record, William Hanna

died in 2001, and Barbera died 2006. I knew Barbera

had died. I knew Barbera passed on. yeah i was

in two thousand one in two thousand six yeah

i had known that that hannah had passed the night

ike could have been was pretty sure that that

barbara did it's kind of weird seeing some of

the cartoons now knowing that they're gone there

to animation legends right there how we could

do a we could do a show just on that just on

themselves uh... them alone well not even there

i mean obviously their cartoons but just on their

you know k like a biographical type of deal Anyway,

maybe maybe down the line. Um, Shut up No, but

they did they did do it, you know Hannah Barbera

did do a lot of stuff, you know, they did oh,

yeah Oh, no, I know. I'm half half of it's on

the schedule when we get to the later episodes

of yeah As far as the writing goes I like how

compare okay You know and of course we're gonna

compare this to scooby -doo where are you because

it's coming from the same cloth almost I like

how all the monsters in This seemed real, but

they made them they wrote them to be wacky like

there are scenes where Shaggy and Scooby or all

five of them will Stop it like a hairdressing

salon or a bank or something and say to the monster.

Oh, yeah Here's your new account and you get

this free toaster and you get this and you get

that Just to get away from the monster and it

and the monster is like, huh? Yeah You know,

so I thought that was really cool and it made

it more kid -friendly. Sorry. Yeah No, I was

saying I like that because it made it it was

very comedic and you could do that and I mean

there was I think I think they you know in one

of the banks the monster actually got a refrigerator

you know so it was funny they made it very hilarious

and they didn't do that in the original show

and I wish they had of but you know hey it's

a generation gap what do you expect yeah And

it's actually very funny. Well, I'll save that

for the actual show. So yeah, I don't really

have anything else on the writing credits. It's

amazing to me as we're doing each of these episodes

throughout Tooncast. How many times Andrea Romano

has shown up? It just shows that - Oh, good grief.

Let's see. How many have we covered with her

name in it? Tiny Toons, Animaniacs. this those

are all connected and they went straight from

the space is not going to show you how but i

mean still you know now charlie adler's been

in tiny tunes and in this he's also done uh...

other stuff but anyway uh... uh... so yeah uh...

overall i think the writing was excellent on

the show uh... i think it was nice I think it

was the return of Stinkweed or it was either

the return of Stinkweed or I believe it was Lights

Camera Monster where Stinkweed actually shows

up. Well, Freddy had just gotten a new camera

and they were going to film a Stinkweed movie

on his new camera and he thought that the real

monster was Shaggy. So it just goes to show you

that the writing on this was very in -depth as

far as coming out with details as far as you

know Freddy thinking that it's Shaggy dressed

up as the monster when reality it's the actual

monster yep so yeah I think that's all we have

for this segment now it's time for the actual

show for more than a decade it looked as if this

would be the final weekly scooby -doo series

following the unsuccessful run of the 13 ghosts

of scooby -doo The creators went back to the

drawing board and turned the original Mystery

Inc characters into small children who now worked

under the title of the Scooby -Doo Detective

Agency. Although they would have been this age

in the 50s or 60s, the kids were far more like

kids of the 80s with computers, skateboards,

and gadgets that were popularized far later as

in the original series. The villains of this

series were always bad guys in rubber masks.

A concept that they had gotten away with from

when Scrappy entered the show and the ghost became

real, more cartoonish than the rest of the shows,

the characters seemed to nod back to the old

Warner Brothers cartoons, complete with bugging

eyes, gaping jaws, and a myriad of hijinks and

sound effects that were unlike previous Scooby

-Doo entries. And I would like to just say before

we go into that, speaking about the wild takes

and stuff, Before I get into the overview and

the tone of the show, Tom Ruger did talk about

the wild takes, and here it is. helped us redesign

them, and they were simpler. There are fewer

lines, but the lines are a little bolder. They

were very movable, rubbery, and... fun chunky

little characters that could really animate.

They could really stretch and really squash.

And so that's why we got into this whole wild

take concept. Meaning that when Shaggy and Scooby

saw a monster, their eyes would pop out of their

heads and then their eyes would like go running

away. Or when red herring surprises and scares

Freddy, he would leap completely out of his clothing,

down to his boxer shorts and scream and his hair

would fly off. Same with Daphne, same with Velma,

so. Our characters really wore their emotions

on their sleeves in this show. One of the great

bits of advice I ever received in my animation

career was from Joe Barbera. He called me and

he said, now, I may tell you, I see what you're

doing with the Scoob. It's okay to have them

spring apart and... come back together. But what

you need, you need sound effects that are just

as wild, just as crazy. They need to be loud

and just right in your face. And he was absolutely

right. When Scooby -like flies apart, but then

you're hearing the scream of a chattering monkey,

it does make it just a little bit funnier. Yeah.

He's absolutely right on that. Oh, no doubt.

No doubt at all. And it's true. I mean, he is

right. So I'll let you read the overtone. The

new show used the same basic formula as the original

1969 show. We have the gang solving supernatural

-based mysteries where the villains, ghost monsters,

were always revealed as bad guys in masks and

costumes. So that was pretty much the same as

the original incarnation. The biggest difference

was, like we were getting to a little bit with

that clip, was the tone of the show. A pup named

Scooby -Doo was a wackier, more extremely comic

version of Scooby -Doo that satirized the conventions

of the show's previous incarnations. So it was

not uncommon for the characters to do these wild

text -avery Bob Clampett -esque takes like we

just were mentioning when they ran into ghosts

and monsters. Animation director and overseas

supervisor Glenn Kennedy animated many of the

wild take sequences personally. Fred was constantly

blaming a character. that we talked about called

Red Herring for each and every crime on the show.

True to his name, Red was always innocent except

for the one episode in which Fred didn't blame

him. And shots of the characters and even some

of the ghosts and monsters dancing were inserted

into the obligatory late 80s pop rock music scored

chase sequences. The ghosts and monsters themselves

were also more comedic, such as creatures made

out of molten cheese, the ghost of a dog catcher.

The series also features Scooby and Shaggy as

their favorite superhero duo. Shaggy would be

the fearless Commander Cool, which was a combination

of Batman and Superman. And Scooby would be his

faithful canine sidekick. mellow mutt which was

a combination of crypto Robin and ace the bat

hound so those are the main I did not know I

did not know that I figured commander cool was

a was a combination of Superman and Batman but

I did not know that melo mutt was a combination

of crypto Robin and ace the bat hound I mean

I kind of figured it was something like that

actually I thought melo mutt was almost like

Like their own creation But I I didn't know it

was like based off of anything in particular

Yeah, so I'm basically basically we had a show

that was much like the 1969 show just a lot more

comedic and wackier Exactly less depressing But

as far as Mellow Mutt, I thought he was a ripoff

of Dino Mutt without the gadgets Seriously that

because i don't want to do this yeah well there

is that uh... the characters being general parodies

of their adult incarnations freddy was outspoken

spoken young boy who jumped to conclusions often

his own way imagination often noise the rest

of the gang his favorite magazine is the national

exaggerator and before accusing ren herring for

absolutely no reason which happens in all but

one episode He often states that ridiculous examples

such as mole people or aliens from another planet.

Daphne was a vain young girl who was quite skeptical

and sarcastic, especially towards Freddy. Being

born into money, she often called to her butler

Jenkins for help, sometimes rather silly help,

be scared for Bumblebee. She does something she

does not do while older, despite still being

fabulously wealthy. She often accuses the wrong

person who did the crime, only by her intuition.

She also has a deep infatuation with the color

pink, opposing older Daphne who prefers everything

in purple, preferring most of clothes and personal

possessions in said color. Shaggy was exactly

like his grown -up incarnation. He ate a lot

during the show, of course, usually having his

food eaten by Scooby, and used the terms like

and zoinks, just like he did in the 1969 version.

He sometimes agrees with other members of the

gang, considering the ghost, phantom, et cetera.

Scooby was like his adult version, too. So those

two characters weren't much changed, like some

of the other ones that we talked about before.

And then, of course, you had Velma, who was shown

as an intelligent little girl who has a briefcase

which can transform into a computer. telephone,

etc. She always uses the word jinkies, like we

heard in the clip a while back, either when finding

a clue or as a regular expression, and her computer

usually informs her who the criminal is, making

her always right, of course. So you had a lot

of the characters there taking some aspects of

their 1969 version and basically blowing them

out of proportion so that they're a parody of

themselves. So that's the one part of the show

that I kind of did like about it, that it made

fun of itself. yes and uh... before we get into

really that much anything else as far as the

gags and stuff uh... when i play two different

clips one is the gang in the mysteries uh...

and the other is the villains because we really

didn't cover the villains in the uh... characters

in the voice actors thing so here is the gang

mysteries With a pup named Scooby -Doo, we wanted

to not update the characters, we wanted to go

back to the time when they were young. So since

the series started originally, Scooby -Doo, where

are you, in 1969, we thought we wanted to have

Shaggy and the rest of the gang be around age

12. So we came up with Daphne, Fred, Velma, and

Shaggy as 12 -year -olds. With this new series,

we weren't trying to reinvent the wheel. We knew

we had some great elements and we didn't want

to lose the stuff that people were accustomed

to and the things that our fans wanted to see.

So of course we kept Zoinks, we kept Velma's

Chinkies, and a lot of the basic elements, the

sort of relationships between the characters,

we wanted to keep all of that going. Let's split

up, gang! Like, no! Scoob and I are staying right

here where it's safe. In the older version of

Scooby, I mean, the kids are sort of on their

own. They're driving around in the mystery machine.

They're teenagers. They're somewhat independent.

In a pup, we're talking about 12 -year -old kids

whose wives really do revolve around their family,

home, and school. Could you be like a deer and

drop Shuggy off at the new babysitters? So the

agency is not that van on wheels, but it's the

tree house in Shaggy's backyard. And so that's

where they reconnoit her to go over clues. Also,

we have like audience interaction at the end

of the mystery where one of our characters will

turn to the audience. Do you know who the monster

really is? Let's review the clues. So we do try

to take the audience along on this puzzle solution.

We've got to solve this mystery. And I would

like to say that I don't know, I mean, obviously

we had, you know, children's programming at the

time, like Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers and Muppets

and all that stuff, but watching this... For

those reincarnations. Huh? Thank you for those

reincarnations. Well, I'm just saying, we did

have other educational programming that was not

a cartoon back then. So basically... When I was

watching this this past week, and every time

I would hear at the end, you know, do you know

who the monster is, let's review the clues, whatever,

I'm thinking, holy crap, Blue's Clues and Barney

ripped off a pup named Scooby Doo. You purple

fucking bastard. You know, I thought the same

thing, like a long time ago, and then I, you

know, I hadn't watched it in a while, and now

that you're bringing that point up, it's so true.

I know, really. We lose, Kevin. He's probably

taking a sip of that keg over there telling you

Kevin's gonna so hate the description. I write

up for this episode Because you're participating

along it's not like I'm talking behind your back

Alright, so as I said before I missed out playing

the villains because I didn't want the voice

actors clip to go long and right now We're only

11 minutes into this one. So we're gonna play

the villains I think part of the fun part of

the variety of scooty series is that in each

episode we get a brand new monster And certainly,

in the beginning of the episode, it looks like

this is a genuine ghoul, or alien, or goblin,

or hideous beast from the center of the Earth.

And yet, by the time our group gets done with

the villain, we know that it's just some crazy

masked character. Mr. Boston. How'd you know

it was me? The monsters and ghouls in the show

tend to be not quite as terrifying as they might

have been in the original. Scooby -Doo, where

are you? A pup named Scooby -Doo was really going

for a laugh. Now, the first episode, a bicycle

built for Boo, where Shaggy's bike is stolen,

and that leads to mystery, and it turns out it's

a counterfeiter. When the cloppy green ghost

roared at our heroes, out of his mouth came another

little cloppy green ghost head that would go,

yeah! Stinkweed was interesting because I mean

here's a plant as the villain and it's difficult

to portray stench in a medium that is sight and

sound but there's no stink to it. We had a totem

pole monster from an Indian reservation. We had

a cheese monster and also a frog villain. mean

beat that yeah I mean the villains in this show

were all over the place but they had good villains

it didn't it wasn't one of those it wasn't like

they were they were trying to bore you each villain

was different and each very much had its funny

moments All right, we're gonna run into the gags

here and Obviously Fred's Freddy's always blaming

red herring for every mystery And red shows up

or corresponds with Freddy and says he didn't

do it Ironically the two times he didn't blame

red were the only gang the only times the gang

caught Mr. Dilton in the episode the spirit of

rock and roll It was actually him and this bike

disappeared in night of the boogity biker Breaking

the oh, yeah breaking the fourth wall during

and after every mystery They broke the fourth

wall on this show more times than I can count

I lost count after the first three Yeah Which

obviously is something that this group? Like

to do since they carry it with them into you

know Tiny Toons and Animaniacs and do a lot of

the same stuff. So that's another aspect that

I like about the show Freddy questioning certain

people and that person would out there answer

at him Because obviously he was wrong Whenever

Velma says jinkies someone would say Velma said

jinkies it must be a clue on some occasions They

would say Velma spoke before it referencing her

Quietude on some occasions Velma's reaction is

for other reasons and on once And on one occasion,

no one reacted to her saying jinkies, so she

grabbed a horn and shouted, I said jinkies. I

remember that episode. That was funny. Did you

ever get that one? No, it wouldn't work. That

would have been funny to hear. Some other things

that we saw kind of carry throughout the series

the villain Always saying just like in the classic

scooby -doo. I would have gotten away with it,

too Except this time he said if it hadn't been

for you pesky kids in that puppy But occasionally

scooby -hedger and there was I was the one episode

where they were trying to figure out who was

Trying to scare away the black couple out of

their house the episode of I forget what the

name of it is uh... with jack the the handyman

at the very end he said all right you know you

you kids and scubie sitting right next to him

scubie just sticks his tongue out the sticks

his tongue out at him he goes oh yeah and and

your puppy i actually have a screenshot of that

uh... scubie laughing at a joke occasionally

throughout the series then stopping and saying

i don't get it We had, of course, Shaggy and

Scooby always being afraid of a monster and then

Daphne saying there are no such thing as whatever

the monster was at that time. The news bumper

saying we interrupt the pub name Scooby -Doo

for this special announcement. Yeah, in the style

similar of Sesame Street's news flash bumpers

that would have had the newscaster reporting

on a minor thing that said happened in the episode

or that one of the running gags about to occur.

Before the obligatory chase sequence with the

monster one of the mystery ink members would

often halt the action after interrupting the

monster So as to turn on the appropriate chase

music from a convenient source such as carrying

a stereo Involves briefcase There was also a

record player. I believe there's a whole bunch

of other stuff During the musical chase sequences

mystery even the monster would stop and running

long enough to dance for a bit before continuing

Which I always thought was kind of cool seeing

the different state different dance moves Yeah,

yeah, what's the next one? The what like obviously

with Daphne and her her character, you know when

they're checking out an empty building She'd

scream and everyone would would ask her what's

wrong and she'd just be complaining about her

getting her clothes dirty Or that it's too dusty

for stuff like that would happen throughout the

show Also the gang disguising themselves and

performing a comedic skit eventually confusing

the monster trying to I mentioned that earlier

I always thought that was funny Yeah You had

many instances throughout the show where scooby

or even some of the other characters would would

not do anything without one or more scooby snacks

And of course the scooby snacks coming in ridiculous

flavors such as pizza flavor or marshmallow One

where scooby says zucchini squid, yuck But but

And of course after eating the scooby snack like

that scooby would uh would hug himself and then

turn into a rocket and blast off and then he

would float Yeah, flows float lazily down into

Shaggy's arm and then Shaggy of course. Okay.

I'm ready. I Liked it I actually liked it. I

was going to say I liked it when Shaggy... Yeah,

they give him a Commander Cool personality. They

give Scooby... They give... Yeah, they give him

a Commander Cool personality, and Scooby takes

the Scooby snack, but he's mellow -mutt, and,

you know, he blasts off into the sky, and then

he comes back down, and Commander Cool, you know,

asks him, are you ready now? Shaggy and Scooby

eating ridiculous combos of food such as peanut

butter and hot dog sandwiches. scooby's nose

is removable in the episode is the story stick

yogi baron makes a cameo appearance in the beginning

of the episode well i'll have to go back and

look at that i did not know i didn't i didn't

know that you know i don't know that episode

again uh... we have two bits of trivia one is

the most original production staff for the show

including producer tom roger left the project

after the first season they went to warner brothers

to restart uh... they're long More abound animation

department their first project there was tiny

tune adventures in 1990 the series and the films

that feature Freddy Prince jr. Marked the only

times that the character of Freddy Jones has

been voiced by someone else other than Frank

Welker Yes, yes, I didn't even know the the adult

version of of scooby was of Freddy was was mr.

Welker But yeah. He doesn't just do animals.

You need to rephrase that. That doesn't sound

very redeeming quality. We are not responsible

for what he does. He doesn't just do the voices

of animals. That's a little bit better. And on

that note, I think... All right, um, well the

last segment needed one of these Cuz that just

came out so wrong and I would like to point I

would like to point out I'd like to point out

that Tooncast and the geek cast radio network

are not responsible for anything Kevin Thompson

says on this podcast So we're gonna move into

the music segment take it away drunk professor

All right mushroom man The music in the show

we had a lot of rock and roll style of songs

Specifically about the monster of the week that

were played during the chase scene in each episode

which kept the action going Similar to the second

season episodes of scooby -doo. Where are you?

Unlike previous versions of the show However,

the kids were often aware of the music being

played like we talked about breaking the fourth

wall They're having turned it on themselves in

many occasions and would dance for a bit along

with the ghost monsters before continuing with

the chase Glenn Kennedy would often animate the

characters dance cycles himself. So he was a

very hands -on guy The show's theme song featured

lyrics by series creator Tom Ruger and music

by composer John Debney Also bore a similarity

to the intro song from Little Shop of Horrors

The music is almost always in a 1950s rock and

roll style. Yes, and we are not going to read

the song look You haven't put the song lyrics

in the script people. I'm like well i i i know

them by heart uh... you want to know what i thought

mike would start singing the song lyrics never

have uh... no i don't think so uh... but i will

uh... the second since i pull it up i will play

mister ruger had to say about the uh... about

the music here it is I had been working on Scooby

a number of years, and once a pup named Scooby

Doo was developed, I was given the opportunity

to produce it, and this was going to be my first

producing job at Hanna -Barbera. And, you know,

I wanted to do a good job. I wanted to make the

characters fun and alive, and I wanted to make

the show distinctive, and we were going for a

distinctive look. And then we wanted to bring

back something that had been... dropped for the

past few seasons, which were the musical rumps.

It's time for the chase. Start the music, Scoob.

We call them Scooby Rump. And that's when, in

the middle of a chase scene, we start playing

some rock and roll music. And while, really,

the chase is supposed to just be going on, our

gang can't resist going into sort of wild dances.

Let's boogie! What I liked about the dancing,

we filmed some of the people at Hanna -Barbera

at the time doing these dances. And if you watch

some of the romps, you'll see Freddie and Scooby

and the gang pretty much imitating some of that.

We wanted to get a real distinctive sound. And

since we're basing the show as if it were taking

place in the early 60s, we decided to go with

a girl duet group. for the music soundtrack.

So, for the first time, I think, at Hanna -Barbera,

we had background music that contained vocals

in it. It was like... If you have an opportunity

to use something from your past, go ahead. So,

when I was a very little kid, my dad would come

in, say goodnight, and... He would do this bit

where he would take his fingers and go on the

top of the bed. And this would like... Because

I knew at the end of it he was going to tickle

me. And so I'd just be screaming and hiding under

the covers. And it wasn't real terror, it was

just like, I know he's going to tickle me, oh

my gosh! So that little jingle that I must credit

my father with that turned into... scooby -doo

-dee -doo -dee -doo -dee -doo scooby -doo -dee

-doo Yeah, that was that was Yeah, that's funny.

I mean you can tell I mean, I don't know what

else other than like Tiny Toons and Animaniacs

and this that Tom Ruger has has had time in but

you can tell the the The stuff that he puts into

his shows whether he's just directing or producing

or writing Oh, yeah, no doubt show and like it

was said the music it was just it was so awesome

It fit the show and I believe it was in something

that Kevin read earlier You know even though

the kids had like 80 style stuff in the in the

episode What is it? Yeah, but excuse me the schnook

who took my comic book where shaggy is going

to buy the the uh... very first edition what

limited edition you know we three left in the

world commander cool comic he he pays twenty

five dollars from like all my god this is so

much money but it's worth it you know so it's

kinda like mix the two decades between fifties

and sixties and and and eighties which i liked

other really isn't that much else to say about

music so i think We're going to move on with

Scooby. Scooby's like chicken and oat. He won't

budge. I bet I could change his mind with a Scooby

snack. Scooby snack? Catch. Give him two Scooby

snacks. Alright, it is time for the popularity

reception and where you can see it today, the

legacy segment. It actually won a, well, it was

nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding

Program for William Hanna, Joseph Barbera, Tom

Hager, Ray Patterson, Lane Reacher, Bill Mathany,

and Laren Bright. Which, surprisingly, yeah,

Pup Named Scooby -Doo nominated for an award.

Yeah, I was surprised. It's good that it was

nominated for an award because it wasn't one

of the shows at the time that was breaking down

the ratings doors for animated, for kids stuff

at all from 88 to 90. There was a lot of shows

that were out doing it ratings -wise, but it's

good to see that the effort that everybody put

into it was rewarded, at least with a nomination

there. And moving into the DVD releases, there

are seven volumes. Volumes one through five have

four episodes each. Volumes six and seven have

five episodes each. And then there's the complete

first season, which has 13 of the 30 episodes,

and the complete second and third. Well, this

says second and third seasons. On the actual

disc case, it says, Second third and fourth seasons

which has 17 the remaining 17 Cartoons out of

the 30 um as far as the DVDs go as people have

heard throughout this episode. I've been playing

Clips from Tom Ruger that is from the special

feature on the first season set Coolsville USA

interactive map visit the places where monsters

and mysteries wreak havoc Enjoy fabulous feature

X. There's also a pencil test animatic of an

alternate show open And that's pretty much it

for special features on the second disc There

is are on the on the second third and fourth

season disc there really isn't anything at all

There's just the other episodes which kind of

sucks Actually, there is one that there's a bonus

episode party Artie from uh... shaggy and scooby

-doo get a clue series what that why the hell

would you put up all about my fucking cartoon

that sucks god that one shaggy did it it's one

of the new ones uh... it was after uh... get

a clue or not uh... it was after it was after

what's new scooby -doo and shag yeah stupid pieces

of shit uh... Currently as far as a film adaptation

currently a third scooby film is in production

titled scooby -doo the mystery begins loosely

based on This series is both a prequel and a

sequel to the previous films The film will be

aired on television and released direct -to -video.

It will not be released to theaters like its

predecessors Just to give you a little information

on that that the scooby -doo the mystery begins

um some of the voices in that you got frank welker

actually doing the voice of a scooby -doo uh

huh um you got what's that that's disturbing

mr. messick is no longer with us so i'm aware

of that but i'm sure frank welker's about the

best guy to try to you know emulate it yeah um

you have obviously you need a got a new couple

other new guys got nick a guy named nick pilatus

uh... doing shaggy uh... i don't recognize a

lot of the other names gary chocke is doing one

of uh... the characters in there uh... that names

yeah gary chocke does a lot of the optimus prime

stuff and some other transformer stuff uh...

so you know it's listed on imdb has completed

uh... so i don't know i think they should have

gotten uh... the live action cast to do voice

for it if they were going to do that because

Okay, we all know Casey Kasem is God when it

comes to Shaggy. Absolutely. Alright, but, but

Matthew Lillard did come close second in those

live -action films. Yeah, he did actually. To

nailing Shaggy's voice down. So I don't understand

why they wouldn't have gone that route, of course,

other than the fact that, you know, Freddie Prinze

Jr. and What's -Her -Nuts Michelle Geller are

high -paid Actors and actors star Michelle killer.

Yeah. Yeah So, um, did we ever ranking for this

one? I didn't know it was not it wasn't ranked

what? You stupid fucking idiots right and That

there's a reason for that what's the reason Because

it's not as good as all the other ones that they're

I'm always going for a first. Yeah. Whatever.

All right. Yeah. You know, you know, I don't

know. I guess the reason that I find that Frank

Welker doing the voice of Scooby just doesn't

fit. Yes. Mike, I will agree with you that, you

know, Mr. Messick is no longer with us. I think

they could have found somebody. I don't know

why they do that. Who's the drunk one? and the

legacy stuff. If you like the show, if you see

it on Cartoon Network and you're like, oh, what

is this? And you sit down and watch an episode.

The DVDs are available. You're probably better

off finding them online. The second, third, and

fourth 2Disc set was just released a couple of

months ago. Actually, let me look at the thing

we have here on the script. Where is it? Dammit,

it was released March 17th of this year and the

first season was released March 18th of last

year But I found it was very hard to find the

first season in stores. So I actually just got

lucky finding it at my local Target when I was

looking for the newer release of the second third

and fourth season But I would find them online

So yeah, I think that's pretty much it for this

episode. I think we're gonna go into some ads

maybe. I don't know what Steve has in store for

the episode. I'm not sure if we're gonna do anything.

And this is what I have for Kevin before we go

into the closing. Do we have any final thoughts

on a pup named Scooby -Doo? Let Deanna go first.

Why? So I can fade in and out and yell into the

mic again? Yes. I missed the show. I wish it

had gone a little bit longer. But you know, that's

the way the cookie crumbles, as it were. It was

a great show for me. Fade in, fade out, fade

in. That's my point exactly. Boy, the description

for this show on iTunes is going to rock. between

the drunk bastard and the faded and out guy hell

yeah i'm gonna have a fun time writing up this

description for the itunes feed uh... uh... you

have any other thoughts before here you really

didn't finish my god What about you drunk boy?

I just got two final thoughts well three. I like

like I said before some good parts about it I

like that. It was a little more comedic. I like

that. They made fun of themselves and then the

only two other things I like that scrappy was

not in it and the last thing Actually, I gotta

I gotta wish Mike good luck tonight because he

was expressing some concern off air about some

effects the mushrooms So hopefully he's not on

the toilet all night. Eww, you smug son of a...

Looks like I won't be the only one having problems

with stand -ass motherfuckers. Shut the hell

up. Anyways, for those, like I said before in

the legacy segment right before this, for those

of you who wish the show could have gone on longer,

or for those of you who want to watch the show

without having to deal with Cartoon Network only

airing it once a fucking day, During the week

they are on DVD and it is a nice addition to

a DVD collection And I'm very glad that I have

them on DVD now, and I don't have I don't have

to search my TV to find an episode of I want

to watch it Overall I think it is the best scooby

series that has been done since Where are you?

The new ones I just can't get into them uh...

as far as a tune cast programming note we may

or may not get to scooby -doo where are you i'm

not sure if we're gonna have an episode on that

uh... if we do i'm probably gonna have like thousands

and thousands of scrappy clips just to rub it

in kevin's face i will be doing that episode

i guess will this is a binding contract once

you said yeah i'll be a host that's it you're

you're a host for life all right well i'll come

prepared exactly Bernie, I didn't see any fine

print. Well, you're a special guest co -host,

but since he pretty much begged me to be on the

show and is pretty much telling me off air in

Skype saying, you know, you need to stop being

on all the GCR and podcasts. You need to share

the love. Yeah, okay. I don't care about me being

on it. I just don't want you to get burned out

from doing six different shows. Yeah, it works.

It works. All right, so yeah, I think we're gonna
