When it comes into play in another topic is fine. I just don't want to be continuing the exact same conversation in the "what do you believe thread"...that thread was pretty much discussing exactly the same as this except in the long run, this thread is better titled since it is easier to spot and immediately understand what is in it from the index. Yea, I can see that. I just don't think the discussions on the other threads need to stop is what I'm saying. Just these three as the main ones (I don't know of any others) is fine. There's nothing wrong with having a few threads on the same subject.

So Velma graduated from a different school, since I know Alma Mater is the school that you graduated from.

Now I had not mentioned the new scooby movies up to this point since they are never in the forefront of my fandom. I couldn't ever count them in any kind of long term continuity either due to the varying nature of the guest stars that just can't co-exist. And as for Batman, that kind of 60's sensibilities Batman has long been writen out of his own timeline keeping him grim and gritty from year one on.

I wouldn't worry about Batman not being the traditional batman. Because that's Batman's comic continuity, this is Batman in the Scooby-Doo/Hanna Barberaverse.

"The Spirited Spooked Sports Show" from NSD-Movies shows that Velma went to a different high school than the others for at least a full school year before transferring to the same school as the others. I would guess that she first arrived at their school when she was starting her sophomore year, possibly later. She refers to the school in the NSD-Movie episode as her "old alma mater". If she had graduated from there then she would have just called it her alma mater, not her "old" one. Meaning she attended, but did not graduate from it.

For some reason but I think it's later, but that's right. She did say old, that means all of them had meet in high school.

I thought that there were 2 schools in the area which they lived, and she went to one of them for a year before switching. I'm not sure about them being in the same middle school or something. School's can be divided in odd ways.

I personally agree that if the Scooby-Doo universe has any type of continuity(hard when there's around 70 years with different explanations and just focus on the mystery mostly if anything) it would probably be ShaphneLover's 4(maybe more universe) because I have seen various ideas and explanations not only in cartoons and movies but also among fans. The only common agree upon ideas is either age of the gang, Daphne owning the Mystery Machine, Fred being the leader , etc. I said before if I accept any type of origin/universe as my favorite it probably be Mystery Begins/Curse of the Lake Monster/4 live action movies or the SDMI continuity( ShaphneLover 's again does have a point that if they whole Velma could have met the gang in high school, etc).
But yeah I have to admit it does get exhausting to argue, it's much easier to agree to disagree. LOL.

Pup had to follow a different continuity since it puts the kids and Scooby at younger ages to follow the trend started by Muppet Babies (not to mention the wacky animation to follow Ralph Bakshi's take on Mighty Mouse a year prior), while 1979's special Scooby Goes Hollywood posits that the gang, as teens, found Scooby Doo at a pet store. Then again, they are shown to be actors in a Saturday morning cartoon following a set series of scripts when Scooby and Shaggy break the news they want out of the show.
Then still again, the 1972 episode "The Loch Ness Mess" has Shaggy and Scooby perusing their baby pictures in a family album they find in the attic of Shaggy's uncle.

That's pretty much the main reason I feel Pup named Scooby-Doo shouldn't be counted as the true origin of Scooby(more or less like the beginning of What's new Scooby-Doo) and just be treated as another Scooby-Doo show, especially when it was just following Flinstone kids, Tom and Jerry kids, Baby Looney Toons, etc.

It was a time when all of those shows we're being kidified. So yes you can and you can't actually count pup.

A Pup is just showing the gang at a younger age. I don't see why that would automatically make it on a different continuity. Why should it matter if other shows did a similar thing?

I'm not sure which episode it was but it was a Scooby Movie (the ones where they meet those movie stars like Don Knotts) and Velma said something like "My old Alma Mater" The context would be important, if she was with the gang when she said that then it would mean that she went to a different school, if they had all been there then she would have said our old Alma Mater. If she was with someone else then it is harder to day as she could have used either but you cannot tell from the statement if the rest of the gang went there.
