Zap2it has revealed the final two names for the 11 minute shorts. They are called “Pizza O'Possum's" and "The Curse of Half-Beard's Booty" the website lists that they will air on November 13th. But there’s no way to tell if this date is accurate, since Zap2it has gotten dates wrong in the past. Here’s the description they give:
"Shaggy drags the gang to a childhood arcade where he's determined to finally collect enough tickets to win the prize he's wanted since he was a boy.

Pizza O'Possum is a Chuck E. Cheese parody, why not release the synopsis for Half-Beard too? One thing that just struck me is the '11 minute' part. Are they just cutting the show or is Barry running out of script? Either way, I'd rather like to see the episodes fully developed than just summarized into a short clip.

Pizza O'Possum is a Chuck E. Cheese parody, why not release the synopsis for Half-Beard too? One thing that just struck me is the '11 minute' part. Are they just cutting the show or is Barry running out of script? Either way, I'd rather like to see the episodes fully developed than just summarized into a short clip. Here's the story on the 11 minute eps: In considering options for a potential third season, WB wanted to experiment with turning BCSD into a two 11 minute episodes series like the majority of animated comedy shows. I was told to watch a Scooby Doo parody episode of TTG as an "example" of how it could be done. I argued that it's easy to do a one-off parody of the tropes of Scooby Doo in 11 minutes, especially if you're not asking the audience to actually invest anything emotionally into the characters or outcome, but there's far to much to service in a Scooby Doo episode and, especially, in a BCSD episode, where we now have to service five, fully developed main characters and their individual arcs, a mystery story, suspects and secondary characters, etc, to accomplish anything satisfying in 11 minutes. Zac and I discussed some interesting, radical approaches to making an 11 minute version of the show by focusing on part of a typical Scooby story, taking for granted that the audience understands the basic structure well enough, that they would get, contextually, where in a Scooby story we were. I was far from out of ideas. In the end, the 11 minutes were handed to one of the directors to write and direct, himself right before he took over the entire series. He ended up coming to me to help work on the second 11 minute ep, but the pizza one, I had nothing to do with at all apart from suggesting some overall character-driven plot ideas for Shaggy and Scooby that were only partly executed. I, personally, don't count these episodes as BCSD "canon" or part of the series at all. As always, just my biased opinion. I hope everybody loves them.

...WB wanted to experiment with turning BCSD into a two 11 minute episodes series ... ...they would get, contextually, where in a Scooby story we were. I was far from out of ideas. Moncrief came to me for help on the second 11 minute ep I like the idea of condensing the Scooby formula. In fact, If Be Cool really wanted to speed up the pace as they say, that's the best way to do it; cut out all the filler. I might even ask why they didn't do this in the first place. The only issue I see is most of the heart of Scooby-Doo is in filler. The charming, goofy, repetitiveness is something a good chunk of the fans have come to love and I don't know how the Be Cool team would go about it in a way to appeal. So long as the writing doesn't become lessened it might be refreshing. I can only stand Be Cool for about 10 minutes anyway BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA Seriously though, I'm very open ideas. New ideas have come to some of the greatest things and some of the worst things but really I'm interested to see something happen.

See, I had a similar idea, except with an actual gun... I mean, maybe an over-zealous rookie cop or a rifle-toting farmer tired of trespassers on his property shoots the "zombie" first and asks questions later. One less creep in a rubber mask trying to broker a crooked land deal, amirite?
