Very interesting that they're announcing a preschool Scooby show right after the announcement for Velma last week. It seems like WB might of expedited the announcement for this in attempt to mitigate the backlash Velma was getting, since the timing seems quite convenient. I'm definitely going into this with an open mind, even if I'm much older than the target audience. This feels like a combination between A Pup Named Scooby-Doo and "Camp Comeoniwannascareya," and sort of like the Scooby-Doo version of PAW Patrol. Interesting that it seems they've designed two of the dogs to look like Daphne and Velma. Presumably the grey one is Fred.

Good observations, Doo. PAW Patrol has been very successful and combining that with the camping, it seems like a formula for success. SpongeBob has Kamp Koral and other shows like Camp Lazlo come to mind.

It isn’t particularly original now that you mention Paw Patrol and Kamp Koral.

That's like comparing Harley Quinn to DC Super Hero Girls. Those prove my point further that they're trying to divide by age. This is legitimately for children that can’t even speak proper sentences yet. It’s not the same audience as a Y7 series. Velma is for older audiences though I think it’ll stay TV-14, so there’s still room for a mainstream kids show. The announcement is probably coming.

What's scary is this comes out ten years after Be Cool was announced. Feels like Be Cool was just announced a few years ago. 2024 really did sneak up on us.

Roger Eschbacher (who wrote for SDMI) is going to write for this series.

ANOTHER series that only features Scooby and Shaggy? I think I've found something I'm even less interested in than "Velma".
Oh, well. At least I have "Mystery Incorporated (2022)" over on YouTube to give me what I want. And of course the backlog from 1969 till now.

I think expanding your major IPs into different kinds of shows was a interesting choice to try and expand the studios out reach. There was a time Cartoon Network could give you that. WB has at times kept different versions of characters ongoing at the same time. Now we are seeing a more extreme divide and we'll see how well it works.
I just hope this doesn't try to take us back down the age limitations line. It already gives me flashbacks to the what "adult" in "adult swim" meant debates of 20 years ago.
I doubt under the previous management they intended it in the restrictive sense, but with the change over it's not a guarantee which philosophy is calling the shots right now.

This is actually pretty great news. I remember talking a while back that I thought a preschool show would be a good idea, kind of glad to see someone else thought so too.

So according to NerdSync’s inside sources the show survived the merger, here’s the tweet
Also actress/voice actress Carla Renata seems to have just wrapped up recording some lines for the series just a few hours ago. So the show is in the recording session!
