What the heck did I just watch ahahahah. I really liked the episode, I'm not into musicals yet it was really different and fun. I'm really enjoying these new takes they're taking. Christian Slater was a fun guest but for once I would say the musical aspect was the central part of the episode and not the guest. Now I have the confirmation they are trying to make Simone the new Red Herring. Also, ouch, Scrappy lovers would not enjoy the reference here. I really want to listen to the original songs because they actually sounded cute, especially the one at the malt shop and Velma when she sand doing that sexy dance when explaining the motive. The animation was clearly superior and different from the other episodes, there was more effort put into it. There were some really funny scenes, like throwing Christian Slater with the cast on the floor, or Shaggy and Scooby and the wolf at the piano, reminded me of a Tom & Jerry-esque scene. Overall, very fun episode. This was my last of the season and I have to say these past few episodes really made me enjoy the series more. I will make a list of my favorite to least once the ones in original language are released because the dubbed versions do lose a lot.

So now that most of you who visit this site have seen every episode or had the opportunity to see each episode of this season minus the Bill Nye/ Neil deGrasse Tyson episode, and with this being the last episode, what was your favorite episode of the season?

This episode is a full-on musical. It was definitely an odd episode that was sort of reminiscent of the Music of the Vampire DTV.
Diving deeper into a few of the songs, "The Mystery Machine's On Broadway!" includes a montage of several classic monsters. The following classic monsters appear: The Phantom, Captain Cutler, Miner 49er, Charlie the Robot, Zombie, Space Kook, Ghost of Redbeard, Green Ghost, The Creeper, The 10,000 Volt Ghost and the Headless Horseman. Unfortunately, The Headless Horseman is misidentified as the "Headless Specter" by the gang in the song, even when the design is clearly the Headless Horseman from The Scooby-Doo Show.
Also, during "The Mystery Machine's on Broadway!" numerous clips from previous episodes of season 1 of Guess Who are shown. This sort of makes it seem like this should have been the last episode of season 1 given how it looked back at the season, and that "Space Shuttle Scooby!" should have been earlier in the season.
In "Suspects," we get a very interesting twist on the introduction of suspects. Three suspects are introduced to us during this montage, as well as their potential motives for being the werewolf. I thought this was a really cool plot device and it was well done. And speaking of suspects, Simone returns for the fourth time! It's interesting how the writers seem to have latched onto her. Simone is said to have gone to high school with Christian Slater, but was kicked out for an unexplored reason. The gang also seems to recognize Simone, as they ask Slater in surprise, "You know Simone?"
In "Diners for Dinner, Dinner for Diners," we get an interesting reference that I never would have expected in a million years...Scrappy-Doo! Christian says "I love hearing a dog talk, and you know I don't mean Scrappy!"
Similar to how "Screama Donna" had Velma sing the culprit's motive at the end, this episode also has that. Velma's dancing is...interesting...to say the least, and almost seems like she's having a seizure or something lol.
We unfortunately get another "Scooby Dooby Doors" scene, as well as a "dress-up to fool the villain" bit. I thought the latter bit was done well this time, and the werewolf was pretty cute practicing a solo. He looked so proud of himself haha! It was kinda of cruel for Shaggy and Scooby to slam the piano down on his paw as they ran away!
I thought a high school was an interesting setting, though I didn't think the redo prom idea was explored very well. It was very lightly touched upon because most of the episode was singing, which was disappointing.
Velma also seems to have a bit more personality in this episode, which I was glad about given past episodes have made her very two dimensional.
Christian Slater was a decent guest star I thought, but didn't have as much personality as some other guest stars because the songs took up so much energy in the episode.
The villain was good too, though I thought it was goofy how the werewolf was wearing pants. It looked silly and made the villain far less scary.
I liked Timmy, a suspect who was briefly mentioned. It's said he's living out of his car in one song, however, the picture looks like he's in jail! And this guy really hates Christian Slater lol. You have to really hate a person to literally get a gigantic tattoo on your chest that you hate them haha.

Really? A musical episode? I wasn't that thrilled, especially since I found that animated Scooby-Doo musicals weren't great since I first saw "Music of the Vampire." Though the werewolf looked pretty cool; his design kind of reminded me of Miss Finster's werewolf Halloween costume from "Recess: Taking the Fifth Grade." I've seen better werewolves from the franchise though. In fact, I am writing a fanfic about the Scooby gang solving a mystery at a furry convention that Shaggy and Scooby are attending (yeah, I know), and I made the villain be a creepy ghoulish zombie werewolf hybrid creature with a canine skull face, going with something a little more original since it's taking place at a furry con and a regular werewolf like in this episode would be a bit too "ordinary." There's even a tuft of fur as a clue! I enjoyed the "Little Red Riding Hood" and "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" references during the "Scooby Dooby Doors" bit. Really, a song about red herrings, and not one reference to Red Herring of "A Pup Named Scooby-Doo?" That's not very funny! Heh, that was a fun different kind of reveal and elaborate setup, kind of like in the time travel episode, and I even enjoyed Velma's song after the unmasking.
Aaaaand I'm finally finished with the first season!

I liked it more than I thought I would, though yes there were cringey moments as there are in any musical at some point. Was not expecting them to actually use the guest star as a villain - that was cool! Red Herring should've definitely made a cameo appearance/reference, haha.
A shame about the dunk on Scrappy, though. The hate-on the creators have for him is ridiculous at this point. I'm sure even most fans have grown to realize he wasn't THAT bad, there was even a sizable portion of people who were mad they didn't include him in Curse of the 13th Ghost

I thought you lived in Italy.
