when I was a little kid I had a vhs tape of scooby-doo meets the boo brothers that I'm surprised didn't drive my poor mother to murder me as often as I wanted to watch it. I occasionally find myself quoting it and making off-hand references.

Yup, indeed that's how most HB series came to be, one show does well, so they copy the formula till it stops selling, same thing if a competitor comes up with a successful show

Yeah, if you take a look at Wikipedia, like half of HB's shows in the 70's fell into the formula of "a bunch of teenagers solve mysteries with their quirky nonhuman sidekick/mascot."

Even before the '70s, Hanna-Barbera had no originality. Top Cat was an animated Sgt. Bilko, The Flintstones was an animated The Honeymooners, and Yogi Bear was a rip-off of a different old sitcom as well.

Right right! Totally blanked on that.

Now I remember it's why the sheriff was so antagonistic towards them, as they'd debunked a lot of stuff that would have made Crystal Cove a popular tourist trap.

Heck I'm kinda amazed they never had Shaggy's girlfriend from Reluctant Werewolf ever show up in anything afterwards, although honestly Shaggy's had enough love interests over the years that it would be easy to make him into a Harem Anime Protagonist

That line you're referring to wasn't a joke, though it was played for laughs.

quote:

Like [The Flintstones], Top Cat was based on an earlier, live-action sitcom — in this case, You'll Never Get Rich, in which Sgt. Ernie Bilko (Phil Silvers) operated various scams on a military base, maintaining a love/hate relationship with the local authority figure, Col. Hall (Phil Ford). Top Cat (voiced by character actor Arnold Stang) operated various scams in a New York alley, maintaining a love/hate relationship with the local authority figure, Officer Dibble (voiced by Allen Jenkins). To drive the point home, Top Cat's Benny the Ball, the character that corresponded to Bilko's Pvt. Doberman, was voiced by Maurice Gosfield — the actor who played Doberman.

I just caught up on the week of new Powerpuff Girls CN just had and ehe the show still isn't amazing, it is slowly getting better as they get into their groove. I think if it manages to survive into a second season it might start being consistently good.

They still criminally have not been able to get Mojo Jojo right but at least I think their version of Princess is better.

Now that I think about it, explaining the plot of Boo Brothers had to be impossible.

"How'd you spend your weekend, Shaggy?"

"Scooby Scrappy and I went to check on the mansion left by my dead Confederate uncle, and he was a ghost so we brought in more ghosts except one of the ghosts was the twin brother of the sheriff. This girl had a crush on me and her brother tried to kill me. Also there was a bear."

Shaggy mostly on his own with Scoob and Daphne becomes a cowardly John Constantine where he practices and perfects the magic he learned from Vincent Price, KISS, Dracula, The Monster Girls, The Hex Sisters, The Voodoo from those Cat People, the Witch Ghost from Salem and what he learns on his Halloween Trips to the loving NETHERWORLD. Oh, and he sometimes turns into a werewolf and wrestles with the Undertaker.

Is the theme sung by Weird Al?

Edit: Not only was it sung by him, he voices Milo. I see what people mean when they say it's Phineas and Ferb- the Candice equivalent is that nerd, and Perry's equivalent is Diogee (also "voiced" by Dee Bradley Baker). No musical numbers, though, both for better and worse.

I feel like this thread gets into a big discussion about Scooby Doo every few months, why is that? I think another poster captured my feeling on Scooby Doo that it played on Cartoon Network way too much when I wanted to watch other things and I just grew a general aversion to it.
Was it an age thing and I just missed the boat or is there something I'm missing? I ask this from a place wanting to understand, what's the big deal with Scooby Doo?
It's had more reboots and side projects than any cartoon I can think of and I have no idea why.
