I'm calling it now, Scooby Doo: Transcendental Functions! sees the gang traveling round the country in the Mystery Machine using various transcendental functions to solve mysteries. In a reference to 13 Ghosts the gang are guided by the ghostly form of Leonard Euler.

Please let them use the original Animation from the previous Be Cool scooby doo series, please oh please oh please. Oh God, no. Be Cool was brilliant, but the animation was easily one of the only weak point of the series. |

transcendental Functions, sounds like a math convention topic. Scooby Doo: family Squabbles, sounds like a cool idea, where scooby and the gang have to solve mysteries involves all their families. Curses, ghosts, vampires, etc. More than one nod to Dark shadows

I bet in this new series, the kids will probably become college students. I find that most Scooby-Doo series that have ever aired featured a point in the kids' lives. "Be Cool" had the kids as very recent high school graduates. "13 Ghosts" seemed to have more mature characters, especially with Daphne's mature hairstyle. "The New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show" had Daphne return with a new role as a reporter for a teen magazine. "What's New" likely had Daphne as a roving TV news reporter, with Fred acompanying her.
It got me wondering if a future Scooby series might have something big happening, such as Fred and Daphne getting married, and Daphne eventually getting pregnant?
I remember the TV movie "Holly-Rock a Bye Baby", where Fred Flintstone became a grandfather to twins. That was a dramatic moment, and was the final chapter of the Flintstones franchise. If Daphne ever gives birth in a future series, could this be the final chapter in the Scooby franchise?

I doubt Scrappy is in it. Matthew Lillard probably wouldn't be so upbeat if he were.

Daphne and Fred getting married would be...weird...
but probably just 'cause I'm used to them not being married.

They are, or appear, older in the films, with a few exceptions. Having a series set in college or university would be different but not change things much. I don't recall Daphne being a reporter in What's New, Fred did have a camera in one episode though. Well I'm with Sponge on not wanting Daphne and Fred getting married,but for very different reasons. After the toxic nature of the relationships in SDMI I don't want it in the show. If you want to give the significant others, make them off scream. |

Having characters marry and have children on Scooby-Doo would upset the balance in a major way. |

ScoobyDoom found out that the script reads "Scooby Doo! Guess Who?". Form posters on Scoobypedia (namely Anythingspossibleforapossible ) mentions it might be a New Movies revival. It would be a good step to start with Batman crossing over, considering how well received that was. Another thing to note is Micheal Ryan being hash-tagged in Lillard's instagram post. Allegedly a producer not a writer, so sorry if you where hoping for a Mystery Inc. follow-up. Attachments:

I personally would like to see everything be more solid. The voice actors definitely give each character their own personality (like with Casey, he always gave Shaggy a certain charm, or how Velma is alot more sassy when done by Mindy Cohn) and it's cool to see the different takes on them, but I'd like to see if they could make the characters a bit more grounded in themselves. Lillard always says he's studied Casey Kasem's Shaggy, but whenever I see Lillard do Shag it's not exactly there. Shaggy is a bit more than hungry and cowardly, and I'd like to see him use his ventriloquism again, or maybe make him a bit more independent like in 13 Ghosts. And that's just an example, they don't have to change only Shaggy. Lots of the new shows' humor is based in parody of Where Are You, but as new generations are introduced to Scooby-Doo maybe we could move past that? Sure you can throw in a reference or two, but if all you can do is nod back to the good old days, then how will you hope to be more than that? Don't be afraid to try something new, that's what MI did and everyone loved it.

Don't be afraid to try something new, that's what MI did and everyone loved it. The problem is virtually every single iteration of SD DOES try something new and the fans scream bloody murder. It's too subjective. BCSD changed the look (everyone hated it) and we gave the whole gang full, well rounded unique comedic personalities (most loved the writing, some hated it). It's about what defines SD to YOU that makes people like or dislike any new SD series. You can't please everyone. I've heard "You ruined my childhood" enough times to see that people want their SD safe, like they remember it. They don't like it when you take chances. A lot of people DIDN'T like SDMI. It got as many season as BCSD. That's NOT a hit show. Look at TTG. Nobody can agree on what they want from a SD series, so the only thing the creative teams can do is try to make something with integrity the THEY like - and hope for the best. Some people will like it, some won't. That's life. If the network or studio doesn't get behind the show and actually air it, though, then there's really no point in making it to begin with. |

That's a bit negative. I don't think everyone hated Be Cool's artstyle, especially if your point is true. The revival series hasn't really been around long enough to make a hard enough impression, if you look at the timeline there's only been five shows and I totally agree they tried something new in their own merits all of which had positives (PN- adorable animation WN- modernization of characters and plot GaC- was bad enough to learn from MI-
lack of anachronic story BC- well rounded comedy) and all of which had negatives (PN- turned out childish WN- hasty animation GaC- didn't present brand well MI- very ship heavy BC- rapid pace) but I believe that there has been a level of fear for changing things too much, and I think this holds them back from changing enough.

Maybe instead, the Scooby team could try and be more like the classics it harkens back to, maybe even re-define the classics? That's pretty much exactly what BCSD tried to do. Again, the problem is that, after 47 years of SD, everyone has a different idea of what SD "is." You get a lot of "If it ain't broke..." kinda comments. One might ask why SD NEEDS redefining? What parts SHOULD be changed? Believe me, I've interacted with SD fans long enough to know that virtually NONE of them agree on what the perfect SD series wold be like. On the other side, you have WB, who is very protective of their beloved franchise and is scared to take too many big chances - and rightfully so. The more MOR, typical SD DVD movies they can pump out, the better. They THINK they want each new series to try something cool and risky, but then they get nervous when you actually do that. That said, I appreciate how far they allowed us to go with BCSD. We took some big chances and, for the most part, those that gave it a chance, really enjoyed it - if they could find it. |
