Ranking all episodes

[marx]

Hello guys! I'm a big fan of the old Scooby Doo series, especially The Scooby Doo Show, I want to share with you my ranking, which I create after watching all episodes once again.

And, just in case, sorry for my English, but I'm from Poland.

Few words to help you understand this ranking:

-Max number of stars for every category is five
-I give extra points for things like good humor or when I feel nostalgia for specific episode

So here's the ranking, enjoy!

Cool rankings. My top three episodes of the show happen to be your bottom three rankings.

[Doo]

That is a very ambitious and fantastic project there, Marx! My favorites differ quite a bit from yours (a lot of my faves are in the middle of your rankings). Nice work and welcome to the forum!

[marx]

Oh yes, my taste is a little different than yours   But everyone has an opinion. I for example prefer episodes where atmosphere is darker and everything is more serious.. but not always; I also love scenes in ''Scared a Lot In Camelot'' where Scooby and Shaggy tried to be evil, hilarious episode!


And thanks for warm welcome, guys!

[scoobnick]

welcome to the forum, and good job on the rankings. you certainly pout in a lot of effort into the rankings

Menace in Venice is a pretty good episode with the back story and everything. I'd rate it higher personally.

[barneynedward]

It's a sad fact but in twenty years, a menace in venice will have to be removed from the canon due to Venice sinking into the water by then.

True, story was good..but what I didn't like about this episode is that they mixed a dark, foggy Venice (I didn't really like it, looks just ugly in my opinion) with a half-serious villain, light background music and some loose chase scenes. That just don't work.

But maybe I'm just just a scooby-freak, and I cling to details

[scoobnick]

efforts are underway to stabilize Venice, to stop the rate of its sinking.

[Ark]

"Underwater "mobile" gates are being built on the floor of the sea at the entrances of the three inlets where the open sea enters Venice's lagoon. When the seawater rises above a certain level, air will be pumped into the gates, causing them to rise and shut out the Adriatic. The first gates are already installed, and the project is scheduled to finish by 2020. Will it work? Time…and tides…will tell."

Updated this one as well. Not too much has changed, but I had the witch episodes severely under ranked. Also Vampire Bats and Headless Horseman both get moved up to the goat tier
