Older Scooby shows return?

[pinktomas37]

Anyone want to discuss this?

Would be nice for the New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show/New Mysteries to have a complete DVD set.

It would be fascinating to see TNSDMysteries return but they're parodying like... Buffy, Stranger Things, Lovecraft, Lupin III, Case Closed, etc.

Scooby Doo Where Are You and and New Scooby Doo Movies would be cool to see come back. They could do so much with the New Scooby Movies in this day and time and it would be cool to see more classic Scooby return in general!

Wasn't the recent Scooby series basically TNSDMovies? They met people like Weird Al weekly. I supposed the branding and animation weren't really similar though.

None of them. The reason why being without the old cast and crew and creatives, even if you could convince the studio to retain the old school look and animation of those shows, ultimately they're going to feel like spiritual successors at best anyways. So I'd rather just see them attempt spiritual successors under new names then. Ark made a good point about Scooby Doo and Guess Who? basically being the modern successor to TNSDMovies. And although approaching 20 years later so maybe not modern, What's New was basically the same thing for Where Are You. So I'd rather them just keep going with that approach than bringing back an old title. The only two Scooby shows I'd be interested in seeing brought back is Mystery Inc, and that one because it ended on a cliff hanger and seemed to have another story arc planned and I would like to see an actual return to 13 Ghosts for pretty much the same reason (like most here I'm not counting the movie that felt like a big F U to the fans).

Edit: Actually, I would like to see Scooby and Scrappy return just because it might be the only way to get a Scrappy not ruined by Gunn's villainous take.

Yeah, it pretty much was, albeit in a half-hour format. But they did have that "retro" style with the art and animation, and even the classic Hanna-Barbera sound effects, to try and make it similar to TNSDMovies.
One show I'd like to see them revive that's not on the list is "A Pup Named Scooby-Doo," for a new season to air on Cartoonito or something. A lot of the stuff in some of the WB Scooby shows (like "What's New, Scooby-Doo?" and "Be Cool, Scooby-Doo") was largely inspired by "Pup", so it would make sense. I'd also bring back Scott Menville as Red Herring (since he's already with WB Animation voicing Robin for "Teen Titans GO") and Kellie Martin as young Daphne, and I think Jason Marsden would make a good young Freddy. Plus, there are some bits I can easily see happening in such a revival: young Velma pulls gets out her case and pulls out the big bulky UNIVAC-style computer and begins typing on it, to which Shaggy comments, "Like, why don't you just get a laptop/tablet, Velma?"

new scooby mysteries would be cool to see come back, including seeing some of scooby's family, like Dixie, that havent shown up since then. in fact we havent seen any Scooby relatives - outside Scrappy_ for decades.

As far as a revival, I'd like to see a New Mysteries revival under a new company (one that is willing to bring back the gang's older personas and redeem Scrappy) and they'd poke fun of all the things from WB which treated the 80's era poorly (13th Ghost Movie, the Live Action movies, SDMI, Velma.etc).
