What media was it on? A website? Was it on TV? Was it part of a special feature? Do you remember the name?

OK, thanks. I've heard about people talking about it but I have yet to see an official source confirm it. So you saw it on TV?

Like! I don't even understand the hate towards him. I think it's very undeserved and unfair. He is so cute! I can see why some people don't like him, because when he appeared Fred, Daphne and Velma were pushed in the background, but it wasn't really Scrappy's fault, it was the writer's. It would have been easy to introduce him without pushed the three others in the darkness. I think, if there were place for five, there were for six. But Scrappy was more or less made the star of the show, and maybe it was a bad idea. He can also be annoying, that's true, but i have seen much more execrable characters than him . I think he really added someting to the show, and his role until the 13 goshts of Scooby-Doo was well developped. Some of the best series was with him, and i think he matured in the years he was on the team. I love his relationship with Daphne. I would like to see his return in a future serie, not as a regular character but as a semi-regular, it would be great.

His character arc in Scooby Apocalypse is interesting.

scrappy was, rightly or wrongly, not particularly liked among the fandom. tim curry, who is a big scooby buff and has been in a number of Scooby projects, was going to be in the 2002 film until he found out Scrappy was going to be in it. Mr Curry is NOT a fan of Scrappy, so he dropped out. rowan atkinson ended up with Curry's role. Where did you hear that? I still think the real Mondarvarius should have been the main villain and Scrappy should have just been a brainwashed pawn.

I like Scrappy. It's just that I hated the 1980-1982 segments, but it's not because of Scrappy. It's because Daphne, Fred and Velma got dropped in one fell swoop. Scrappy got more exposure, but i don't hate it. Scrappy did get credit for saving the show from cancellation, and he did attract a lot of younger viewers. I did watch The Richie Rich/Scooby-Doo Show but only for the Richie segments.
At least the Scooby series got better in 1983 with the return of Daphne, whom I think was eye candy to me. That was enough for me to regain interest in Scooby-Doo toons.

Scrappy is a good idea on paper, but the way he's executed is just bad. Scrappy is supposed to be the opposite of Scooby; instead of being big and scared he's small and tough. This is pretty true to canines in real life, most of the time smaller dogs will have intimidating barks to make up for their size. To understand Scrappy, you have to understand how Scooby came into existence. When the idea of a dog in the gang was thought up, the name Ruby and Spears had lots of things in mind. There was a bit of debate on what TooMuch (his name at the time) would even be, namely the dog's personality. TooMuch would either be a large and cowardly or tiny and feisty. When the writers decided on a big cowardly great dane the later was scrapped (possibly the origin of Scrappy's name?). Now obviously making the dog entirely cowardly wouldn't work if he were to solve mysteries but at the time TooMuch wasn't really a main character, so this was probobly edited later so that the dog could stand up for him and his friends. This heroic side of Scooby is what Scrappy sees most fondly. Adding an extra dog was something already done by The Scooby-Doo Show and if you'll notice Scooby-Dum's roles are similar in the scenes where they contribute; they're both really confident. Scrappy aspires to be a hero like his uncle, so any chance he gets he goes after whatever monster the gang is after. Dum wants to be a detective and does find clues important to the mystery, despite his antics. At first, Scrappy was added in as a plan to save Scooby-Doo from getting canceled; and for a while it worked well but the rest is history. Scrappy works but only in small doses. So, when the writers started structuring episodes around him and taking out the gang that was what made him so terrible. An attempt was made to make Scrappy less annoying but in the end it was just too late.

More recent appearances of Scrappy have been pretty ok actually. In 2002, he was voiced by Scott Innes which odly enough I love. Sure, all his scenes sucked hard and all his lines were awful and the CGI was unholy, but the way Innes did the voice, felt convincing. His appearance in Scooby Apocalypse is cool too. Recent iterations of Scrappy make him villainous and I think that's the right way to go about this, seeing as how many people hate the character. While Scrappy is a jerk, he has a soft side which you see when he takes Cliffy into the pack. I think if we give it a few more years Scrappy could make a come back, in the form of an anti-hero. Not necessarily a villain but not a protagonist either, kinda like he is in Apocalypse.

I'd rather see him as he was in the series (a helpful hero worshipper) just less often. basically as an occasional guest star. He and Yabba along with Dusty could show up on rare occasions and visit Scooby and the gang. Conversely Scooby and the gang could go visit them every so often. Dusty owning a Doo could be explained by revealing him to be another one of Shaggy's cousins.

While I don't hate Scrappy, I don't know that everyone would be fond of him, even after him missing for so long. Sure, you could have him occasionally, but it's still a risk I don't think Warner Bros will take.

That way his fans get to see him and his detractors can ignore him.
