Well, I could of sworn I remember seeing a scene or image in which Shaggy and Daphne were sleeping in the same bed together. Could they really have been in a serious relationship in 13 Ghosts?
And what episode was this "sleeping together" scene from?

I don't know about Wendy's, as I only buy one restaurant meal per month (due to dietary and budgetary reasons - more the latter).
But McDonald's has the Warner 100th anniversary promotion - at least in Canada. I am not sure if this promotion only applies to Canada.

There was a "meddling kids" line uttered by bad guys on an episode of Daria. Was that brought up yet?

I went to McDonald's to buy supper this evening (first visit of 2023), and I noticed a poster that commemorates the 100th anniversary of Warner Bros., and to celebrate the occasion they are believed to be offering Happy Meals with select signature characters from cartoons owned by Warner Bros.
The one thing I noticed on the poster on the door as I entered, it showed Daphne Blake, but nobody else from Scooby-Doo cartoons - not even Scooby himself! I don't know why they would exclude Scooby-Doo, yet use Daphne.

Yeah this one was fine. I highly doubt that Get a Clue took inspiration from this episode as it is a pretty obscure episode and IIRC, the Get a Clue creator was not much of a Scooby fan That could explain why Get a Clue was pretty horrible and lasted only 19 episodes.

I did discover that the Boomerang stream has many of the episodes of Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?, but the Cher episode was excluded. Why is this? Could it be for the same reason why "The Secret of Shark Island" from The New Scooby-Doo Movies never got released to any stream nor home video?
EDIT: I did discover on another thread that the Cher episode did get released to the Season 2 DVD set of the Guess Who series.

I remember the Scooby & Scrappy-Doo segments from The Scooby & Scrappy-Doo/Puppy Hour did recycle several cues from Richie Rich. I also recognize two pieces of background music from two segments on The Little Rascals cartoon spinoff - one I recall being from the very beginning of "Science Fair and Foul" just after the title card (I also heard it at the start of the Scooby & Scrappy segment "Dumb Waiter Caper"), and the other being a short sting from "Cap'n Spanky's Showboat" when Alfalfa ends up twisted in the hammock and says "Why do these things always happen to me?" - that sting was heard numerous times throughout the spinoff series. I also recognize a cue used in chase scenes on in the 1982 Scooby & Scrappy-Doo segments that was also used not only on The Little Rascals cartoon spinoff, but also on Shirt Tales and The Gary Coleman Show. A truncated portion of that cue was the second piece of background music used in "Science Fair and Foul" when Alfalfa and Spanky were chasing after Pete who runs with the boys' baseball in his mouth. I also recall there being background music from an incarnation of The Flintstones on The New Scooby-Doo Movies, particularly near the end of "The Haunted Candy Factory" (the one with Mama Cass Elliott). Early in the segment "No Sharking Zone" on The New Scooby & Scrappy-Doo Show, you could hear a piece of background music that I also heard towards the end of "Mayda and the Monster" on Richie Rich. Also, the beginning of another segment from said Scooby series was also heard towards the end of "Video World", which was the final original segment on Richie Rich. "Video World" was never aired in syndication but is available on the Boomerang streaming service. I recognize this sad violin music. I heard it near the end of "Bigmouth's Friend" when Clockwork Smurf was destroyed, after Bigmouth declared that Gargamel was no friend of his. I do not recall this music heard on any other Hanna-Barbera series; though I do remember there being two episodes from Richie Rich in which background music pieces from Smurfs were used - and did feature a variant of the Smurfs theme, oddly enough. "Richie Hood" involves at least two pieces of background music from Smurfs - one I recognize from "The Trojan Smurf", and another from "Handy's Sweetheart" when the custodian of Avalon's magic boots were pulled off by Hefty Smurf's trap. On Shirt Tales, at the beginning of the "Saturday Night Shirt Tales" episode, you could hear Digger Mole enjoying listening to relaxing music supposedly by Mozart, which is really background music from Smurfs. Based on the YT user's posting history, it appears he is too focused on background music from Smurfs, as he posted a piece of unknown background music which I do recognize from Smurfs.

I can confirm that Daphne and Shaggy were not in their 20s on The New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show or The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries as I recall seeing an episode of either series and some character referred to them as "kids". So they were likely still teens in those series - maybe barely college age, perhaps?

I personally think DC does a spectacular job at handling reboots of characters previously published by other companies. DC's run of Scooby-Doo has lasted a quarter of a century now. I bet, if DC had an interest in acquiring and publishing new Richie Rich stories, there probably would also be a team-up series with at least one issue involving Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Inc. gang. and maybe other characters previously associated with Harvey, such as Little Dot, Casper, Hot Stuff, etc.
Marvel acquired the Harvey properties in 1994 or early 1995, but didn't release any full Richie Rich series. This could imply that Marvel only wanted to take over the ownership rights of the Harvey properties just for the sake of copyright. And speaking of Marvel, they did publish a Scooby-Doo series in the 1970s, but was short-lived.
I remember back in the early 2010s, Ape Entertainment did license Richie Rich for a new series of comics - but was very much short-lived (I believe the Richie Rich series along with Richie Rich Gems, each lasted only six issues under the Ape branding, though the Gems series' numbering continued from where Harvey left off in 1982, but going as high as #48). I think it's time for DC to consider acquiring Richie Rich, as a DC run would have better potential.

Oh poo... 😂 Well I'm still hoping. Never trust any links posted on April first. Unless it's a credible news source (i.e. The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, CBS, Hollywood Reporter, etc.).

I remember when Richie Rich comics used to be published from the early 1960s through 1982, and from the point of launch until the publisher, Harvey Comics, ceased operations in 1982, that is only 22 years for a comic book series from start to finish. And in many 36-page issues, roughly half of the issue is new content, and the other half is recycled content from the 1960s or 1970s.
Harvey's initial run lasted only 22 years, and the company rebooted in 1986. Harvey's second run was much shorter, lasting only 8 years - and new content was very limited, lasting until early 1991 at the earliest (though "Richie Rich and the New Kids on the Block" had new content in every one of the three issues, and after the third issue, Harvey produced no more new Richie material for the remainder of Harvey's second life.
After Harvey ultimately ceased publication in 1994, Marvel had taken over the ownership rights to Richie Rich and all of the Harvey characters - but Marvel didn't do anything with Richie Rich except publish a comic book adaptation of the 1994 movie (and the movie was a flop).
But here's an interesting scenario: If DC had taken over the ownership rights to the Harvey characters, and published all new stories, would a DC run have better success? I mean, early "Scooby-Doo" comics had very short runs, and the DC run of "Scooby-Doo" has been quite successful and ran since the late 1990s and continues to this day (only the Archie Comics run was second longest, if I recall).
What are your thoughts on this?

I learned in another thread that one of the more recent Scooby-Doo comics published by DC contained 100% reprinted content (and it seemed as if the user regretted spending money on it). Could this be a sign that Scooby comics may be on the way out for DC, if it hasn't already?

I am sure there are a number of Scooby fans in other countries (though maybe not as many). In fact, I am one of them. I live in Canada.

I know that I got into Scooby-Doo in 1985 during its final two years on ABC, when "The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries" was airing. The reason was because a lot of shows I enjoyed on Saturday mornings prior to 1985 got cancelled, thus increasing boredom. Add to that, my mother banned me from watching "Sesame Street" in the fall of 1984 (I was just over a year away from becoming a teen then), which further increased boredom. Then, the following summer, when I was on summer vacation, I got hooked on Scooby-Doo.
However, the interest was short-lived because my cable provider switched ABC affiliates from Bangor, Maine (which aired reruns of Scooby in syndication around suppertime) to Detroit, Michigan affiliates. Plus, the newest Scooby series, "13 Ghosts", was horrible. This meant, of course, that my interest in Scooby-Doo was very short-lived, and my interest in Saturday morning fare continued its downward spiral.
At least I am able to enjoy Scooby-Doo more nowadays and I have downloaded pretty much every series (except "Get a Clue", "Mystery Incorporated" and "Be Cool"), and I do enjoy "Guess Who" quite greatly. Despite my distaste for "Be Cool", I am willing to give it a try because I heard the storylines are quite interesting.

I did discover on an outside source that this episode aired in Canada last January. However, I never got to see it, and I do live in Canada.
It's kind of amazing that new episodes air in Canada before they do in the U.S.
