I thought Scrappy was alright, until the show became about him and they pushed Fred, Daphne, and Velma out the door. The only time Scrappy was even remotely tolerable was in either the series with all of Mystery Inc. and him and in the "Thirteen Ghosts of Scooby Doo" but that was because Flim Flam got on my nerves way worse. But Vincent Price made up for both of those characters by being awesome as Vincent Van Ghoul.

Flim Flam does rank right up there with Scrappy in being annoying.

I don't think I would compare Scrappy to Osama Bin Laden, nor would I want them to hunt Scrappy over Osama. Interesting article. Thanks for sharing.

The movie shouldn't have made Scrappy the villan. Sure he can get annoying but he is outgoing and keeps Scooby and Shaggy going. He also can do some funny things at times.

They should totally do a "where are they now" show for the villains! That would be the kewlest thing ever...even if it was shown in little clips between the shows.

That was a very good article! The creation of Scrappy-Doo! I read the whole thing. It sounds like it was quite a long process to create Scrappy. I really enjoyed it and learned alot. Thanks for the link.

From the article- (going through the notes): "I had eight sets and they could not be humanly reconciled. One set said, "Let's lose the joke at the top of page 19." Another said, "Love the joke at the top of page 19." Yet another said, "Hey, could we make that joke on the top of page 19 a running gag and do it a few more times?" Being a mystery, the story involved three suspects and one set of notes suggested switching whodunnit from Suspect A to Suspect B, while another set of notes thought all clues pointed to C. It went that way all through all the notes. I suspected the eight of them had gotten together and divided up my script in a devious plot to drive me insane. ("Okay, you'll hate the scene in the cave and I'll love it and Joe will tell him to change it to a Chinese restaurant...")"
Funny!

From the article- (finding the right voice): "Well, around here is where I lost track. I'd go to the studio, walk into the producer's office and say, "Don't tell me...let me guess. Laurence Olivier? Marcel Marceau? Jayne Mansfield?" Scrappy was well on his way to becoming the first network TV cartoon character to have more voices than fans. There was one morning when they told me Paul Winchell had been chosen as the voice of Scrappy and then later, when I came back from lunch, Dick Beals was going to be Scrappy. I don't think Paul or Dick ever recorded because then, Mr. Barbera decided it was time to bite ye olde bullet and see if they could make a deal with Mel Blanc (who hadn't even auditioned) and they spent a few days haggling with him and simultaneously auditioning more actors.
They even went so far as to ask me who I'd cast...and back then at Hanna-Barbera, they had to be pretty desperate before they'd ask a writer anything like that."
Wow, I had no idea finding the voice for the character was such a difficult process.

"He was so good that a whole week later, when I asked the producer who was Scrappy Doo now, he said, "Amazingly, it's still Lennie Weinrib." In fact, it continued to be Lennie Weinrib for the entire season...all the way until the moment when Lennie asked for more money, at which point the world went full circle and all of a sudden, Don Messick was Scrappy again. As he would continue to be for the rest of the little guy's animated life. All it took to make a firm decision was someone asking for above scale."
That's okay, I liked Don for Scrappy better anyway. I think Don made Scrappy sound less annoying.
