So, that's a script for the new scooby series? What's it say?
I didn't think it'd be a follow up on MI series, that was a completely other dimension, Shaggy and the others didn't have the normal parents or families and they didn't live in the usual city.
I don't want it to honestly. I'd love it continued from 13 ghosts with it's original Animation.
I'd love another shaggy and scooby solo series.

All that's for sure is the name "Guess Who?" but the name could change in time. I don't think there's any big leaks unfortunately. |

You can't please everyone with a new series. There will always be someone that hates it and mass amounts of people that are critical. I have found that it depends what series you were first exposed to as to how you define what Scooby should be and what you compare each new series to.
Each new series will always be what the writers/producers/animators want it to be. It's their vision and their take on Scooby. There is no way to please the masses. We should be happy with new series and the continuation of Scooby. We should look at the work all of these people put into each show with an open mind and remember it is for entertainment value. We're not always going to like every series, every animation style, every written line...but we can give each series a chance and find the good in it in some way.
There are aspects of Scooby series that I don't like, but I will always give it a chance. I'm looking forward to the new series, even though I know nothing about it, because it's a continuation of characters that I love.

I'd love a show with Daphne, Scrappy, Scooby and Shaggy again. TNSDMysteries was great and that formula hasn't been tried for a while.

Regarding Guess Who, I have come up with what the direction could be. The Last call back to New Movies we had was Night of The Living Doo, a parody written by Chris Casper Kelly; who you probobly know as a writer for Adult Swim. I think a smart move would be to put Adult Swim writers in for some of the crew. Mixing the writing styles could be intresting, while making sure that people familiar with Scooby Doo, like Micheal Ryan or Glenn Leopold and people who are experienced in humor focused shows are collaborating to make episodes happen. After a long time of scooby trying to be serious and spooky, a going back to the comedy roots that made it a hit sounds good in theory. If the goal is still to make Scooby-Doo funny (like it was for Be Cool Scooby-Doo) this would be what I imagine the next step would be; especially since the child demographic was second to the most popular reason Be Cool isn't well received. As far as specific people, Dave Willis is the first one that comes to mind especially in regards to him being very familiar with Hannah Barbera (which could also relate back to going to the roots). For now that's just a theory, and I might take it back after re-watching New Movies.

That's a bit negative.... Also sorry if I upset the thread earlier, that was not my intent in any way. Namely, this one. |

It could be a version of What's My Line?
I suspect the title of the show means diddly-squat beyond it being 'catchy'.
What series has had a title that means something...
Scooby Doo Where Are You - well he's normally standing right next to Shaggy
What's New Scooby Doo - we don't know, he never answered the question
Be Cool Scooby Doo - unless a vet gets a thermometer we'll never know
13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo - there wasn't even one ghost of Scooby Doo, he was very much still part of this mortal coil
And so on.

Been out of the loop here news-wise but I'm going to agree with Russm there, given the most obvious to me use is simple you know, guess who's under the mask.
Although I confess my head tilted several times reading some of the ideas so far at this thread.

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. 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. Good point and agreed on all counts. I'd argue though that while "safe" is good, there needs to be a unique aspect to every new series. I very much loved Where Are You and What's New, but do I want to see 18 different shows that are exactly the same as them? No. Some elements (even if they are small elements) need to be changed so "safe" doesn't become boring, for example how a lot of people think The Simpsons has gotten tired and unoriginal after 29 seasons. I'd go as far as to say you can't even really call it a "new" series if no structural elements have been changed. In the end, as JCB said it isn't possible to please everyone as everyone has their own unique tastes of what elements of Scooby they like. The world would be boring if everyone just agreed on everything. The best you can do is try to make something which will please the general fandom, and just accept that there will be some who still don't like it (and that's perfectly okay!  ) |

Until a new regime gets in there willing to take risks, you will not get anything VERY new. SD is one of their most money-making, beloved frnchise - even if they don't know why/ So they're scared of changing anything. They'll TRY stuff, but, again, it depends onwhat THOSE execs think "defines" Scooby. We need new blood at the top willing to take chances. |

What do you think about DC Comics treatment of the WB properties like the recent Flintstones, Wacky Raceland, Scooby Apocalypse, Jetsons, Dastardly and Mutley, Exit Stage Left: The Snagglepuss Chronicles... Has DC grown a pair and is doing something with these properties? |
