Have they announced when this Airs yet? Well not in the next couple of weeks, we have just had Mecha Mutt and Spooky Scarecrow air on Boomerang UK today. Tit is school half term next week and they will start showing the new Inspector Gadget show. If I had to guess I'd say the next possible slot would be Easter. |

Hmm, I fear we may've scared JCB off the site. I was hoping for some occasional updates and Q&A opportunities. Mark Nah, you guys didn't scare me away. As many have assumed, I've been very busy getting the show ready. It's all going great, just hectic. We don't have an official air date yet, but I'd be happy to answer any questions that I'm allowed to. |

Hi jcb, and welcome back!
I have a few questions if you are allowed to answer them:
1. Can you answer if Mindy Cohn is playing Velma in the series? All the voice actors have confirmed that they will be playing their usual roles except for Mindy.
2. Is the pitch pilot that was placed (and then removed) on Vimeo from the pilot episode, or a different (later) one?
3. Will there be other references to the old series like there were in the pitch pilot (such as the Ghost of Elias Kingston showing up)?
Thanks, and it's OK if you can't answer them.

Hey Doo - Thanks for the welcome. 1. I can't officially answer the casting questions, but I will say that, yes, "All the voice actors have confirmed that they will be playing their usual roles except for Mindy." 2. The "pitch pilot" you mentioned was just a two minute test Zac and I created to show WB what kind of tone we were going for. It was a difficult to get across all the new characterizations in two minutes, so we crammed a lot of stuff in there, throwing it at the wall, to see what stuck. That's all that was and it was never meant to get out online, obviously. The worst part for us was that the final version never DID make it online. Certain things were changed and improved upon and it was a big hit around here. That test is what really moved us forward, sort of "proving" our (mine and Zac;s) thesis about how to approach turning the Scooby gang into a full, equal comedic ensemble. You may see elements from the test in an episode, but no promises. 3. Yeah, we're playing with using certain elements from Scooby's 40+ years of history, like Elias Kingston, here and there - mostly recontextualizing them and having fun/paying homage. It's not something we're doing a lot of or being too precious about, though. We're really trying to make a brand new show that someone who has never seen Scooby Doo before (as well as someone who LOVES Scooby Doo) can enjoy - but with little winks and nods here and there for the old fans. |

We have seen little marketing snippets but any idea when we may see the first real pieces of marketing? I was hoping we'd have something on the Moon Monster Madness dvd.

Glad to see you back and thanks for the updates! I'm really looking forward to seeing more of the show. It'll be nice when a few previews start showing up. Any idea when we'll get a sneak peek? Regarding the above, I like little winks & nods myself, but one trend I'm not as crazy about is actually revealing the villains & endings to classic eps newer fans may not've yet seen. Just something to think about. The recent movie Frankencreepy gave away the villains to 4 episodes, 3 from the original series. It was a neat plot element for longtime fans, but spoiled about 1/8 of the original series for new fans. SD:MI did a bit of that too. One question I might ask, and forgive me if you've already commented on this, but will the show feature 'real' monsters & ghouls, or villains in disguise? Thanks again for posting here, and look forward to seeing the first ep. Mark |

Thanks again for posting here, and look forward to seeing the first ep. Mark For Prof. Per. - I'm the head writer who helped create and develop the new Scooby Doo show. Hey ahk - We have no plans to reveal endings to old episodes. While we may play with elements to some old plots as jumping off points to twist and spin certain tropes, all of the stories will be original to this series and we're not really treating the past series as part of our history (apart from the odd wink here and there). As for "real" monsters, I can't really talk about that apart from saying that we will always try to keep the audience guessing what's real and what's not until the last possible moment. Not always easy and Scooby Doo does have certain classic structures that we like to adhere to, but, hopefully, people will find it satisfying. We're certainly looking for new ways to reveal the bad guys. |

thanks for taking the times to answer questions jacb. i have a couple questions:
1 Will we see any cameos by Scoobys family? Characters like Scooby Dum, Scooby Dee or Dixie Doo? Scooby has a very large family, as longtime fans well know. Will there be any mentions of them?
2 Will there be any traveling from place to place in the Mystery Machine, or will it be like the old shows where Scooby and gang arrive at (insert town here) as the episode's plot requires?
Thanks
Scoobnick.

I'll honestly be somewhat happy if they finally re-cast Velma. Mindy has done a decent job in her time, but I'd like someone new in the role. I just wish that if anyone had been recast it would've been DeLisle. ANY actress would be better than her for Daphne.
I don't think anyone should worry about Mindy not returning though, she's been in all other recent media so why would she suddenly leave?
