The Medicine Man ghost didn't even bother to hide his very obviously caucasian arms
Even Buck Masters used all-covering clothing, which also made his costume look less dopey. When you're worse than Buck Masters, you're pretty bad.
Although not as bad as Fucking Carl the Stuntman.
It would have been so very much worse had Lenny applied makeup.
For obvious reasons.

Yeah Remmeber Rhino from the new scooby doo movies and what he did
Heel-a-copter!
One of my favorite running jokes on this channel!
I also love "Fuck you Carl the stunt man!"
I live in constant fear while editing that I'm going to miss one of the opportunities to use this.
Not gonna lie.
I've seen this line pop up on Reddit once or twice and it's equally cool and scary at the same time.
@@aidennevada243poor dolt
Still shocked that out of every single ranking video, Dr. Coffin is only beat by The Spooky Space Kook, aka, One of the scariest monsters in television history. Seriously, slept with one eye open since I saw him.
Both of them deserve the high ranking, but ol' Banshee Laugh still edges them out when it comes to soiling one's pants!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Velma has super strength. She obviously threw the anchor! Duh! 😅
Damn! I wish I made that joke in my video!
The gang run into a demon shark. Where's Sonny & Cher when you need them?
I remember that being one of my favourite episodes when I was a kid.
@@shadowleon659mine too and the Batman crossover
Did they really need them tho?
😂right
Unlike Davey Jones and Jerry Reed, S&C didn't sing one of the "Scooby Doo" chase songs.
Thats not a squid, that's a tentacle-tailed parrot.
Tentacle-tailed OWL.
Professor Pericles was an owl, dammit!
Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing!
Definitely wasn't expecting the Demon Shark to get the lowest score so far.
Spoilers!
Only if you read the comments before watching the video. Something ill advised for any video you don't want to be spoiled on.
@@mikeike9742 the video was an hour long. Skimming the comments during that time us only natural
This is why I'm worried people might start to think I'm going into these with a chip on my shoulder.
I sincerely do try to start them all out with a high rating and weigh the evidence based on how severe I think their missteps are.
It's likely the Demon Shark would have ranked higher had it been a 'Where Are You?' villain.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@JoeGoesOverthis is why I'm thinking originality should be weighed by series instead of by the all the previous series as well. It's hard to be original with 100+ people behind you
I remember this movie that came out in the early 1980s called Endangered Species, and it was all about people running around deleting cattle.
I am unfamiliar with the film, but if it's the early-1980s and featured cattle, it had to have been dealing with the whole "alien cattle mutilation" stuff that was big at the time.
The Witch Doctor looks like the guy from Scooby Doo Where are You.
Yeah they were definitely getting lazy with villain designs.
Indeed it did.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hey Joe, a thing about the demon shark that is also gonna become somewhat of the norm with most of the future aquatic monsters in this series is that the culprits, like Mr. Wells as an example, are seemingly able to breathe underwater without any oxygen. I obviously get that the animators were probably just sloppy and didn't draw most of the culprits wearing scuba gear or at least using air-tanks, but it is pretty weird and surprisingly common, especially with the last episode of the series.
Also, great episode, per usual.
Good catch! While editing, it did occur to me that I didn't mention the whole "breathing underwater" aspect of the disguise, which to be fair, might have bumped the Outfit score up perhaps half a point, but I found myself stuck on just how unoriginal it was.
Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing! I appreciate the support!
@@JoeGoesOver No problem, Joe.
Also, a thing I found recently after looking through all of the remaining episodes in the series where an aquatic monster appears, only in Scooby-Doo, Where's the Crew? is an air-tank shown being used by the culprit which explains why they were able to breathe underwater. It's literary ignored in all other episodes.
I'm on that one right now and I was looking for the breathing tubes this time. It's just funny how the one tank they show is on the only disguise that didn't appear to allow for the breather to be on the mouth of the guy in the suit!
Thanks for the great vid. You the man joe
Thank you very much for the nice comment and for watching!
I don't know about you, but the Ghost Bull's running animation is probably the most clean animation the Scooby doo series has had until this point.
It's likely a recycled rotoscope they paid some out-of-work Disney animator to do back in the 1960s that they bust out from time to time.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Velma probably threw that anchor up there. Velma is hench. Velma was always hench. Velma will always be hench. Don't question the power of Velma 🤣
And now I wish I would have thought to attribute the anchor throw to her.
Anyone who can run with 500-600 pounds on their neck and shoulders might stand a good chance of being able to toss a 100 pound anchor a hundred feet or so!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Love these in-depth Scooby rankings!
How does this show compare to Where Are You, for you?
So far, it's been a bit of a mixed bag.
The plots of 'The Scooby-Doo Show' seem much more elaborate and the locations are more interesting than 'Where Are You?', but at the same time much of the animation and writing feels a bit lazier. It felt like the earlier series tried to remain a bit more grounded and took the time to explain the villains'' actions, whereas this series seems to be in a hurry to resolve things and get on with the next mystery.
I'm unsure as to their production order, but it really feels like the studio hit the ground running for the first few episodes, but then faltered a bit six or seven shows in.
It's still SOOOOO much better than 'The New Scooby-Doo Movies'...!
Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing!
They should have used the villain from the Speed Buggy's cattle rustler episode, "Speed Buggy Went That-A-Way".
Bring back Speedy and gang in a crossover episode sequel, marking the return of "Beef-Finger".
It's been decades [ACE DECADE] since I last saw an actual Speed Buggy episode so I had to look up that reference.
There really was a cattle rustler on that show with that name.
Wow. I mean, like, WOW.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@JoeGoesOver I was actually the first episode of the series. Boomerang used to play it a lot, back in the days when Boomerang had the Hanna Barbera library at their disposal.
The Demon Shark must be a ghost, too because when he follows Shaggy and Scooby up into the restaurant, his body phases through and into the left door of the elevator.
If we start chalking up all the animation mistakes, EVERYBODY is going to be a ghost!
Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing!
As always, great video!
For what it's worth, I can definitely tell that you're letting as little bias sneak in as possible, and that's largely due to how well you explain your process. The recent string of less positive scores is clearly due to Hanna-Barbera running low on ideas and recycling plots/monster designs with less thought put into the actual scheme. But hey, even the lower scoring villains seem to have more thought put into them than most of the ones feature in The New Scooby-Doo Movies.
That is the one saving grace of dealing with less-imaginative villains- at least the episode themselves are still entertaining.
I often found myself so bored watching 'The New Scooby-Doo Movies' as so much of their scenes felt like filler. 'The Scooby-Doo Show' is a lot tighter and more interesting to view!
Thanks for your nice comments and for watching!
To be fair to Shaggy, there isn't much of a difference between a spellbook and a cookbook. You can find most spell components in your kitchen. Eye of newt is mustard seed, blind-worm's sting is either poppy seed or wormwood, an herb, owlet's wing is garlic or ginger, and scale of dragon is likely tarragon.
If it was written in plane English, the only thing that would give them pause would be the numerous poisonous plants some recipes would call for.
There was a part of me that died the first time I learned that eye of newt wasn't literally the optical organs of a baby salamander.
A lot of the magic of magic is lost when you learn about the history of it.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Can't wait until the next episode. The episode with the Ghost Captain and the Sea Monsters is probably one of my favorite in the whole show.
Thank you for your encouraging words! I'm working on that script currently, so hopefully in less than two weeks you'll get my take!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hell yeah, another part!
I love this series, Scooby-Doo is one of my special interest and I'm happy someone is talking about it!
Your humor is great too!
Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much for the kind words, and I'm glad my stuff is resonating with fans of the franchise!
And as always, thanks for watching!
I know I argued otherwise in the comments of the last video but after giving it some more thought I would argue that the flying bull should have been counted as an outfit. It concealed the pilot's identity and unlike the No-Face Zombie, it clearly had a human element despite being mechanical as it needed someone to control it at all times whereas the zombie acted on its own.
Next time we get to my favorite villain of the show. As I said before I'm expecting him to rank low but I'm interested to see him covered regardless.
The problem is where to draw the line. If I were to consider the vehicles driven by the bad guys as part of their "disguise", where would it end? Technically, that would make the robot dinosaurs controlled by the villains 'The New Scooby-Doo Movies' as part of their costumes, or the bat-shaped vehicle driven by Jesse James in that series as well.
This is why I do my best to draw such a distinction between "costume" and "prop".
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I'm binge watching your videos. You go into crazy details.Yes, it is completely unnecessary and useless, but it's SO MUCH FUN. You're doing a great job!
Thank you very much for your kind words!
I admit to low grade anxiety whenever I start a script for one of these videos because I start with ZERO idea on what to say, but then like magic, a talking point will occur to me while watching and BOOM! here come the tangents!
Thanks for watching!
Who would've guessed Scooby Doo had intrigue with Native Americans?
Hanna-Barbera liked to slip in a lot of Native-American stuff in their early days.
Sadly, a lot of it was borderline disrespectful.
Or blatantly crossing that border, as was often the case.
Somebody call Paul Bunyan so he can come get his bull🐮🐮🐮
Wrong color, though!
I never noticed before that they recycled the name Sam three episodes in a row. Sam Crenshaw was the Steam Demon, Sam Farren was the talking bull, and the oyster boxes say Sam's Fish Market.
They recycle "Carl" more than a few times, too, apparently.
Carl the Stuntman and Carl the ranch hand aren't the last to come.
F****** Carl the Stuntman.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Im loving this series. Although, I would just chalk things like Wells hiding under the frozen demon shark up to cartoon physics, like Shaggy and Scooby hiding in places any real life person wouldn't fit into or like anchors that are lighter in the show than real life.
I'm a bit inconsistent when it comes to whether or not I forgive cartoon physics.
I've only brought it up a few times when discussing the times Scooby or the others fall from a great height.
It's just a matter of my mindset when mapping my script.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Again, with the sharks but Jaws, it was an inspiration. Unfortunately, everything that has to do with sharks in the movie media will be compared to Jaws fairly or unfairly.
It's difficult for those of us who grew up with the concept of the blockbuster to wrap our heads around, but 'Jaws' was a legitimate cultural milestone and it's nigh impossible not to invoke that film when sharks appear onscreen.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
File this under things ya love to see
File this under "Comments I Like to Get"...!
Thanks for watching!
40:13 and not only that... that anker, the rope, and the whole gang would drip that cliff edge right down on top of the gang if they even try to clime it.
You may be right. Perhaps if the anchor was further away from the edge...?
Still a gobsmack moment imagining how they got the anchor up there in the first place!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hey joe love your content this was one of my favorite video's cant wait for episode 13-14
Thank you very much for your kind words!
The next video featuring those episode villains is complete and currently available to my Patreon supporters.
Unless I get hit with a delayed content match, it should be live for everyone else by tomorrow at the latest!
Thank you for watching!
Although the villians usually were not politcally correct, I've loved the western themed episodes. I hope you have a great day ❤
Thank you for the nice comments and I hope your day is/was good as well!
Westerns were a very popular genre for film and television prior to the 1970s and I think a lot of their appearances in early Scooby shows were due to the producers always being five to ten years behind the cultural zeitgeist.
Thanks for watching!
Man that is one big headdress I'm surprised he doesn't a curvature in his spine from the weight.
But he looks simply FABULOUS!
Well, no, not really. And can you imagine wearing white like that in a desert environment?
That's just asking for stains!
All these uncles of the Scooby gang... their grandparents got very "busy" with one another it seems.
It wouldn't be unheard of.
My grandfather is the seventh child of eight kids.
Having grown up as one, it wouldn't surprise me if the majority of the Gang's families were Catholic!
Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing!
I always get so excited when I see you post! Always top notch quality Joe, keep it up. I hope your 2024 is going great so far.
Thank you very much for the kind words! I'm always excited to get them!
Apart from a bitter, bitter, bitter cold snap, 2024 has been fine so far! I hope yours was as well!
Thanks for watching!
@@JoeGoesOver it's been way too cold here too! I feel that. Hang in there.
I discovered your channel last year Joe and as a life long Scooby Doo fan, I was instantly enthralled. I love your analysis of the villians schemes, you put so much effort into them and go into such great detail. So glad you're now covering 'The Scooby Doo Show' which is my favourite incarnation of the series and I can't wait until you cover 'The Creepy Heap From The Deep' and 'The Creepy Creature Of Vultures Claw' as those are two of my favourite episodes.
There's just one thing that always perplexed me about the Demon Shark episode and that's the subplot regarding the mysterious book of Hindu spells that is constantly mentioned throughout the episode. Dreyfus first mentions it to the gang when he claims that Professor Beaker had the book but later on Beaker claims that Mr Wells showed him the book once but he hadn't seen it in months and then later on Wells says that he remembers Beaker reading the book but he also hadn't seen it since.
I wonder if this was a leftover from an earlier version of this episode that was accidentally left in the finished product, much like the part from the Underground Demons episode with Captain Sally being in cohoots with Sam Crenshaw, or was this just an undressed plot point that the gang overlooked and never addressed in the episode. Really strange.
Anyway I enjoyed this video and I'm looking forward to the rest. Keep up the good work Joe.
Thank you very much for your kind words and I say with no hesitation that comments like yours helps keep me motivated! I hope my future content doesn't disappoint!
You hit the nail on the head there when it comes to not knowing if the lack of a resolution of the book of spells is due to poor writing or failure to update the script after rewrites (though, I suppose, both of those would count as "poor writing").
If I had to guess, I think the writers just forgot about addressing the whole spell book thing at the end of the episode, just like how they forgot to include Dreyfus when the Gang explained the mystery.
Then again, perhaps Dreyfus' absence is another aspect of an earlier draft of the script where he and Wells may have been in cahoots. It would certainly explain why Dreyfus was so eager to accuse Beaker of being the one responsible for resurrecting the Shark Demon!
Thank you very much for watching!
I see that flying bull and immediately hear Ghost Riders In The Sky
Hah! So did I!
The Sha Na Na version for some reason, though.
Commenting to say I’m still here and watching every two weeks. This is still the best series on YT, and I consistently come back to rewatch it. Also love to see the Jonny Quest references, the Dreadful Doll is fantastic.
Thank you very much for your kind words! I'm doing my best trying to get an upload once every two weeks. This one was a bit late due to weather, but hopefully the next will be ready by then!
I've already started the script!
Thanks for watching!
These two episodes being essentially reduxes could have just been called:
Decoy for a Cownapper
&
Another Night with a Frozen Fright.
Related to the seatbelts thing, wouldn't the van be older than when seatbelts were required meaning it didn't have to have them?
They had been available for years, but seatbelts became required by Federal law to be installed in American automobiles in 1968.
The exact make, model and year of the original Mystery Machine has been a topic of debate for a long, long time now.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@JoeGoesOver Interesting. Didn't realize it wasn't definitively based on a specific van. But then it does have a lot of optional parts from occaisional second set of seats to not even needing a driver 😂
One of the difficulties I face occasionally when discussing the villains' schemes is trying to figure out what kind of vehicle they used in an episode. I think I'll have it narrowed down to a particular make or model, only to realize it's missing something important (or has added features not found on the real life version).
I think the production staff used photos of automobiles, submarines and airplanes as references, but took plenty of artistic license and ended up creating vehicles that don't actually have real world counterparts.
The video I did about the Grand Prix was a nightmare when it came to trying to determine what kind of racecars were stolen.
pfft - sam farren, in the medicine man outfit not fitting on him? now that's something i'd watch.
Hey Joe, just a reminder of how much your audience loves seeing these videos.
I appreciate the nice sentiments!
They definitely keep me motivated to keep going!
I just started the script for my next video this morning!
Thank you do much I always look forward to these videos
Thank you very much!
It's no exaggeration to say I look forward to reading nice comments like this!
They really keep me motivated!
Always great to see a new upload.
Thank you!
Always great to see nice comments on my stuff!
Thanks for watching!
Love the videos Joe keep it up 👍
Thank you!
Love the nice comments, which helps me keep doing these!
Thanks for watching!
Telling a bunch of teenagers they're crazy for claiming to have seen a flying bull is NOT gasslighting! that's just basic disbelief. Gaslighting is when someone knows a person is telling the truth, but claimed disbleife in order to convince the person that they didn't see what they saw.
It always pisses me off whenever someone refers to an expression of disbelief as Gaslighting, because it implies narfarious intent of the disbeliever.
I don't think gaslighting always has to imply anything nefarious on the part of the one doing it. Sometimes they might do it with the best of intentions.
But when they constantly tell Shaggy or Scooby they're just seeing things, or it's just their imagination, when there are countless examples of Shaggy and Scooby being right over and over and over again about supernatural shenanigans being afoot, it's INFURIATING to me.
That's why I consider what they do "gaslighting" and not simply being unwilling to believe.
@@JoeGoesOverIn Matt's defense, it's possible Daphne doesn't talk to him very often and this is her first visit in a long time. He genuinely might not know this is a common thing for them.
@@JoeGoesOver My point is that the INTENT is the difference between Gaslighting and disbelief or skepticism. the intent of gaslighting IS to mislead or manipulate (which agreeably may not be nefarious, but is often conotated as so). for example, your kid comes to you in the middle of the night and claims to have seen a ghost in his/her room and you tell them it's just their imagination. That's NOT gaslighting, unless you know that you've moved into a haunted house and your kid is describing the exact same entity that the previous owners of that house had claimed to have seen, and you don't want to scare your kid so you tell them it's just their imagination. that would be a non-nafarious form a gaslighting, but still gaslighting.
In this episode, you claimed that Daphne's uncle was gaslighting the gang when he told them that they must have halucinated a flying bull. That's NOT gaslighting because Daphne's uncle has no reason to believe such an unbelievable claim nor is he trying to mislead or manipulate them in any way.
This is a common mis-use of the term gaslighting and it just grinds my gears whenever I see or hear it.
Fair enough, and you make a valid point.
For my purposes, though, just the fact that as much as the Gang constantly discounts Shaggy or Scooby's insistence they saw a ghost in almost literally every episode when they run to Fred and the rest claiming to have seen one, despite almost literally every episode having proved them correct at having seen a ghost, just the fact that a relative would immediately have the same reaction to hearing a ghost sighting made me question if such a thing ran in the families.
I've been waiting so long for this
There was a bit of delay this time around because of the weather. I lost a few days due to how cold it was and my studio having lost its electric heater for a few days.
I simply couldn't concentrate on writing while shivering in there!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I always found it so funny just the sheer amount of exposition at the beginning of the Demon Shark episode.
Just wait until you get to the Gramps the Vamp episode.
Literally the very first lines of dialogue spoken spell out the entire premise.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I'm here as always Joe keep up the good work❤
Thank you very much! I certainly hope to do so!
Thanks for watching!
At least the next two episodes have at least a few more unique elements though the one after that will definitely have a few points taken off because they reuse the character design of the giggling ghosts
The ice cream phantoms are episode 15 actually. (Don't know if you already remembered)
The other two are pescado and the sea creatures, and the rambling ghost.
@@colesteadman8107 yeah I know that I meant that the video after the next one will have them and they will get discounted points for just reusing a character model
@@colesteadman8107 I remember the Ice Cream episode a lot so even if the Technicolor Phantoms are just recolors of the Green Ghosts from WAY?, I can't be too harsh on them.
I love the episode with the Ghost Captain. The setting is so cool taking place in the middle of the ocean. And you actually feel like the gang is in actual danger a few times in the episode.
I just started working on the next episode this morning. I do know you meant the episode AFTER the next two, and yeah, I can't imagine the costumes are going to pass muster as they're just the Neapolitan versions of Creeps and Crawls' disguises!
Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing!
So happy this came out today it’s my birthday so this was a fun extra
I hope your birthday went well!
I'm not a fan of them myself these days, but as people keep telling me, they beat the alternative!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Who woulda thunk that this YT channel would be so educational. I know more about cattle rustling than I ever wanted to now.
Don't give me TOO much credit! I do my best trying to research stuff when I get a question in my head, but I'm not exactly performing peer-reviewed science here!

The Scooby gang goes water skiing in regular clothes! Where's the bikinis????
If memory serves, we don't get to see those until 'What's New Scooby-Doo?', though I'm open to being corrected.
I'm not sure if child me could have handled Daphne in one, to be BROOT-ally honest.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@JoeGoesOver we get all that in mystery inc. I remember Wendy from super friends got in a bikini once! Ha-cha! For the ten year old me, it was wow!
I laugh way too hard when I hear 'heelacopter'
I am now physically incapable of hearing "helicopter" in real life now without my brain immediately replying "heelicopter".
Or when I'm watching another UA-camr and they use the word "decade".
i alwasy found tamuka episode unsettling. i never grew up with where are you. and the walking skeleton scared me too. more thern the medicine man
When I was a kid, skulls and skeletons were particularly creepy to me for some reason.
Thinking back, it's hard to determine if my fear of them happened because of Space Kook, or if my fear of Space Kook was exacerbated by a preexisting fear of skulls and skeletons.

I like to think Carl was in the back end of the cow, but managed to get away with it cos everyone was too stupid to check.
To be fair, it's not like any of the Scooby Gang have formal law-enforcement training.
Then again, the sheriff was right there and HE didn't think to look in the back of the cow costume, either.
Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing!
The Bull-copter makes a bit more sense of it was modified from an existing chopper that the ranchers owned and used to get around their large ranch.
You're not wrong, except if it was a piece of ranch equipment that they modified, what would happen if they needed to bust out the helicopter [HEELICOPTER] later on for stuff unrelated to their scheme?
Or worse, if other ranchers knew they had the aircraft, what if they wanted to borrow it from Farren? If he says "no" it'll affect his possible future business relationships. If he says "yes", they'll wonder why he's flying inside Tamuka.
Imagine the phone call. "Hey, Sam? It's Rodgers from the Ugly Q. We're missing a couple of heads. Can you take your chopper up and check out the northeast canyon? Huh? What the hell do you mean, 'No'? We all helped you fix your fence last year. What are you trying to pull?"
Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing!
@@JoeGoesOver yeah, those guys might have been dumb enough to do it, since there were dressing up in cow costumes while herding cattle. At least they were herding steers and not bulls….we don’t need that scene in Top Secret acted out on a Saturday morning cartoon show.
The shark villain, I like to think that him not wearing gloves was just Hannah Barbera, not wanting to waste money to add them more than anything else. The fact that he wasn’t considered the prime suspect, does at least give proof to that theory, and as far as we know the secret compartment could’ve been made of metal not wood
I think even if the base had been made of metal (it REALLY looked like wood), metal that thin would likely still have buckled under the weight of the ice block, unless it was made of tungsten or carbon nanotubes, which would have been quite unlikely.

Hey Joe, thanks for getting the video out despite the bad weather you've been going through.
31:48 As someone who lives in India, I can say that it isn't unusual to see someone who's so pale, both naturally and because there is a massive industry of skin lightening cosmetics in India due to the colorism prevalent throughout Indian society.
Thank you for your insight! I would never personally assume a skin color for any particular region, though I would argue plenty of areas have a propensity for a certain hue.
I'm think I failed in my reasoning for pointing their color out here. I was hoping to imply that this was not the ideal color to have been used on the original animation cels for the Indian guards not because there aren't any lighter-skinned people on the subcontinent, but rather Hanna-Barbera was once again cutting costs in production and had their colorist use the same paint for all the characters rather than break open a different tube of acrylic. I really should have made my comment more explicit in calling out their cheapness.
It sucks that colorism exists over there because in my opinion, that darker skin I see of the few Indian people that crop up over here in the U.S. in pop culture is extremely attractive.
As always, thank you very much for watching and commenting and supporting my channel!
With Mr Wells, the shark demon would have been in the cargo hold of the plane, freezing to death would have been another risk. I watched these 2 episodes recently in anticipation of your analysis (not sure if that is weird or not...lol) and I found myself mixing up the Demon Shark with the Where Are You episode with the Caveman quite a bit. There's a soft space in my heart for the Bum Steer for Scooby-Doo episode even thought I'm not rightly sure why. Regardless if there were one or two people in the cow costume, they should have been considerably smaller than the regular herd. I guess the reason why I like these shows aren't for historical accuracy, cultural sensitivity or real science. Cheers for another great episode Joe - I look forward to the next as always.
Thank you for your nice words!
While writing the script, I thought about how odd it was for the Demon Shark ice block to be right there in the passenger area of the plane instead of the cargo hold, and how dangerous it would have been for Wells if the block had been stored where it should have been, but I just couldn't concentrate on the danger of that scenario considering how precarious his hold on life already was with four tons situated above him while hiding in the rickety wooden crate.
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Great ranking as always! I've only seen the Bull episode and that was years ago so I'm basing my ranking off of this video
1) Talking Bull and Medicine Man Ghost
2) Demon Shark
Thank you for the nice comments, and for watching and subscribing!
I do try to include plenty of footage from the episode to help people who haven't seen the episode in question (or who haven't seen it a while), but I have to be careful or UA-cam content match rears its ugly, ugly, ugly head.
@JoeGoesOver no problem ^^ thank you for the amazing content as always it cheered me up after the nightmare of the week I've had, Tuesday was the worst day of my life so, seeing this video helped me feel a bit better so thank you for that as very little has actually made me smile since then
Thank you for trying to include plenty of footage its really handy for those like me who haven't seen it or haven't for years so thanks it means a lot to me and I'm sure it does many others too. Oh yeah the UA-cam content match is horrible, along with a lot of what UA-cam does, its led to me basically losing all my motivation for videos, sometimes I still do them but it's extremely rare I do nowadays which is a pity
As little comfort as this undoubtedly is, at least having a really awful day puts any future bad days in perspective.
In my case, way back in 2010 I was caught right in the middle of a friend's suicide and it was, bar none, the worst day of my life. So now, any bad day pales in comparison.
I usually get a content match with every one of my uploads, requiring me to fiddle with the editing and re-upload until it goes through. I've seen how some channels try to avoid it by tossing filters over the video or even mirroring the footage. I've tried both and still get nailed. What seems to be the deciding factor is keeping any video I sample to ten seconds or less. Then I just have to be careful not to have too many ten-second snippets too close to each other on my timeline or UA-cam considers it one very long excerpt from an episode and content matches me.
It's SO frustrating because most of us creators are clearly treating the material under obvious Fair Use conditions, but it's too much hassle for UA-cam to hire actual people to check the stuff.
Here's hoping there's a long time between now and your next bad day!
@JoeGoesOver oh yeah definitely because I don't think any other horrible day could possibly top Tuesdays... but also I don't want to tempt fate. As for me, I lost my dad to cancer on Tuesday (that's also why I was having a bad day last video,) but, as if that wasn't bad enough 3 hours later (if that) we got a call about my grandad and we nearly lost him too... thankfully my grandad pulled through, he has really bad dementia (as a result he never got to say goodbye to my dad, who was his son, in fact he was completely clueless that my dad even had cancer which is heartbreaking but at least he isn't going through that pain too.)
Oh... oh god I'm lost for words I am so so SO sorry I cannot imagine how horrible and traumatising that must've been for you... I honestly have no words I'm sorry...
Thankfully I've never had any content matches, although I had 2 videos blocked the second I uploaded them once, which was annoying but they were just reactions that took 10 minutes to make so nothing too bad. But, seeing everyone else's issues with content matches just ruined it for me :/ its a shame as I have so many video ideas but, I doubt I'll ever do them nowadays. Honestly, UA-cam REALLY needs to hire actual people to deal with this stuff but I doubt they Ever will sadly... hopefully they prove us wrong though
Thank you so much 🥺 I really hope there's an extremely long time between now and your next awful day too
I am so sorry to hear that.
I'm a cancer survivor myself, but was lucky that it was one of the "easier" ones (thyroid) and they caught it early enough. I think I'm still technically in the "wait and see" stage but all my numbers have been good so I'm guessing I'm past it. Even if it comes back, it's such a slow-progressing one that I'd probably die of something else before it'd get me.
Unfortunately, my experience with the disease coupled with a general extremely morbid sense of humor as well as probable PTSD from kidney stone issues left me in a position where I'm extremely flippant about it, which has had led me to put my foot in my mouth on more than one occasion when making a joke about it to the wrong person.
Situations like your father's is a reminder that not everyone was as lucky as I was (insofar as getting cancer could ever be described as "getting lucky"). I'm so sorry his ending wasn't the same as mine. Of course, having troubles piled one on top of the other is extremely unfair, and it's ridiculous you'd have to go through so much at the same time.
As for the UA-cam content match, it is extremely frustrating as you say, but made worse considering the videos I've been posting lately have been around an hour long each, which translates to three or more hours of encoding time, not to mention the hour long upload and wait for the content match to go through it.
Honestly, it's SO much better to get the instant match because it allows you to make the changes before going live. A few uploads ago, my video went through with no issues but then when I awoke the next day after having it live all night for my Patreon supporters, I got hit with a content match. If that had happened after making it public, I'd have lost a ton of monetization opportunity because the majority of the income on any given video is usually during the first day or two. The longer it stays public but unmonetized, the more you lose. It breaks my heart whenever any of the content creators I watch complain about a flag AFTER the video is public.
It's now come to the point I'm MORE worried when I DON'T get a content match, because then I have to worry about getting hit with one after it's live.
It's a shame you've become so discouraged due to UA-cam's flawed process. After having started this channel and spending all the time I do on each video, I've come to appreciate how important it is for everyone to try and create something. On social media, I will always give a "Like" or "Thumbs Up" to content, even if I didn't enjoy it that much, because it's that important to encourage people to exercise their creativity. I would highly recommend trying again, even if what you produce is few and far between.
Sometimes the trick is to think of the content match as a puzzle you need to solve. When I get hit, it forces me to look at what I made and try and find a way of getting the same point across but with a different way of editing the footage. Sometimes it's something as simple as using a still frame instead of the motion video, or cutting the audio into chunks and rearranging them to have the same meaning but still avoiding the matching service.
Again, thank you very much for watching my videos and I'm very sorry for your recent loss. If you haven't experienced anything like this before, all I can say is it does get better. Time itself is what's needed, so grieve in whatever manner you need to in order to feel better and just remember it probably WILL get better once enough time has elapsed.
Thanks for the video ❤

Well there will be more sea monsters in this series as there is one in the next episode and I was going that is the witch doctor in white as about the episode I wonder how the Uncle just disappeared while driving under a tunnel and I thought those were just shields that the medicine man just threw so I didn’t know that and where the dolphins singing there?
So about the Monster from the future remember I suggested the Morlocks from the Time Machine?
The Creepy Heap from the Deep is one of my favorite Sea Monsters.
I haven't hit those episodes yet, so I won't know what will pop into my head until the time comes.
The dolphins in the water like that reminded me of the title song from 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' (2005), so I couldn't help but slip in a reference.
That's how my brain works. If you see a scene from a film or TV show slipped into one of my videos, that's because my brain does that to me all the time when a word or phrase pops up in conversation or if I'm watching a piece of media.

I dont want to risk being under giant a flying bull...too much risk of well you know
As Midwesterners, we should already be used to that kind of, uh, "pollution".
One more than one occasion I've found myself behind an open-air cattle truck and had to visit a car wash afterward.
Thank GOD my top was up, is all I can say.
🤣🤣🤣 oh shit...literally. I was once behind an rv that 'forgot' their tank plug on the open highway
I suppose every part of the country has something like that.
My mom used to love regaling younger me with the story of how one of her old boyfriends who lived in the southwest stopped at a gas station with a mess on his windshield. This was ye olden tymes when gas stations weren't self-serve and had actual attendants, and one of them grabbed his squeegee to clean off the glass. It was a particularly stubborn mess and the attendant resorted to using his fingernails to try and scrape off some of the more stubborn chunks.
My mom's ex didn't have the heart to tell the guy that a buzzard had puked on his car during the trip.
@@JoeGoesOver oofft
I’m not usually a fan of the more sci-fi-ish monsters like the Caveman but something about the Shark in this episode has always given me the creeps. I never saw the Sonny and Cher episode growing up, so it was original for me and it’s uncanny stare and awkward proportions really got to me as a kid.
You were probably just having an instinctive reaction to seeing a shark.
Something that only the more insane members of human society are able to suppress.
Sharks.
Brrrr!

a bum steer for scooby doo one of my favorite episodes of the scooby doo show. i loved it as a kid when i saw it on the season 1 dvd. i always loved the saying mooka wonka
It probably helps if stuff like this is seen during childhood rather than as an adult.
For me, the little dance and chant was a bit cringey (almost as cringey as MY dance in the video).

There are some military helicopters that are almost completely silent until they are right on top you
Yeah, but it's not likely a Texas rancher would have access to one.
Then again, this IS Texas, and we're not that far off from their governor arguing that citizens should have the rights to purchase tactical nukes.

Two videos in a row that have Witch Doctors as disguises for bad guys.
You weren't kidding last video about how HB love using Witch Doctors in Scooby-Doo and i don't know how to feel about it.
The funny thing was I was already flummoxed by the witch doctors by that point, even before I saw what was coming up in the next episode!
Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing!
The reason why I think rustling and witch doctors/medicine men were used so much in early Scooby Doo was due to the popularity of the western movie genre at the time.
I agree. For probably most of us watching Scooby at the time, westerns had long since waned from the popularity they once enjoyed.
Just another example of Hanna-Barbera jumping on a bandwagon five to ten years after the wheels came off the bandwagon.

27:07 I found this clip really funny out of context. Almost like the henchman was actually cursing, but in a cartoonish manner like Yosemite Sam.

@@JoeGoesOver welcome
It's a shame that you just put the Demon Shark on the lowest point, since it has been one of my favourite monsters of that show.
(Both that and the ones in the "Sonny & Cher" episode is among my favourites, since it made me fear sharks from such a young age, and especially the simply image of them being able to suddenly walk on land! 😲)
Also, just quickly re-watched the episode, and one scene came to mind, that I'm surprise you didn't bring up.
Right before the trap part the Demon-Shark confronts the gang after discovering the oysters, and actually stops being hostile for a second to none-verbaly ask the gang to gather them into a sack and give them to him.
What are your thoughts on that scene?
It's always jarring when the villain breaks character by directly engaging with the Gang.
It was very similar to how the Mummy of Anka did the same thing when trying to get the coin back from Shaggy.
In hindsight, this was me dropping the ball a bit because this would have been even more evidence that the Demon Shark was just a man in a suit because there's no way an actual prehistoric monster would know enough human body language to make its intentions understood like that.
Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing!
Okay speaking as a rancher's son, that amount isn't too far off, but there are a few smaller details pertaining to the relationships and motivations. One other factor could be insurance and possible fraud. The one stealing the cattle could have had a policy for just in case they were stolen. And to make it look less suspicious, he stole his neighbor's as well.
Also size doesn't matter that much when it comes to a cordiality between ranchers. Plenty who attend things like the National Western Stock Show or the American Royal wouldn't have that large of an operation. And some would be outright huge in comparison. We're all still roughly business partners in all of this.
Thank you very much for your insight! It's very helpful hearing from someone with actual real world knowledge of the situation in question. I had a hell of a time trying to settle on how big Blake and Farren's ranches might have been, so in the end I had to rely on human nature to estimate their sizes. You're not wrong that in plenty of industries, the size of a business wouldn't necessarily preclude larger or smaller operations from associating with each other, but I needed some way to at least explain how to arrive at a figure that would show the two ranches were at least comperable.
That's also a very good point about the possible insurance angle and I wish I'd have included something like that in my analysis. Unfortunately, there will always be some other way of looking at a particular scheme that will evade me.
Thanks again for your comments and for watching!
@@JoeGoesOver something else with the buy, selling, and maybe breeding angle to the rustling: a really good bull from a strong line is worth a lot of money. As are any calves they might produce. You steal a good bull, collect some semen or have it breed a few cows, then you've got a good bull or even cows for later.
But this was set in the 60s when most people who would have been watching wouldn't know a good bull or anything like that. It's why they use longhorns as those are the stereotypical cattle to rustle in westerns.
I know how they got the anker up there. Velma threw it up there you have to remember that she's a strong female character 😀😀😀
In more ways than one!
40:48 Oh don't you worry, The Iron-Face episode got that problem covered.
Hah! OMG! You're right!
It's been many, many years since I've seen 'The Scooby-Doo Show', so a lot of these feel like it's the first time I've seen the episode in question.
I thought we wouldn't get the Gang in swimsuits until 'What's New, Scooby-Doo?', but there they are in the third season of this series.
Good catch, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Random thoughs
Lazy s ranch and the crazy q ranch from shaggy's show down are similar
Also there 2 other ways things can be intact imprints and mummficaion
They could have said it was the ghost of a demon shark
A ghost would have made more sense, as it would have had an excuse to be separate from its corporeal remains.
You're not wrong about imprints and mummification, but I focused on fossilization and frozen in ice due to the condition of the remains and their age, but even mummification would be hard pressed to explain being so intact for one million years.
Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing!
@JoeGoesOver tho calling it the ghost of the demon shark would be repetitive maybe if they called it the ghost of the man shark or ghost of the prehistoric shark it would be better also I know but I added that for people who like reading comments so they can get extra info on fossils as I like fossils
But then you run into the danger of how EVERYTHING in Scooby seems to get called a "ghost" despite demonstrably NOT being one.
I guess kudos to them for referring to it as demon instead?
@@JoeGoesOver yeah even tho it's not a demon
Some good jokes in this one. Though had to go in a deep dive to find out Prof Beaker predated the Muppets Beaker
Thank you for your nice words!
I thought about making a Muppet's reference, but figured "beaker" was just an obvious joke name for a scientist, like how the Muppet Show Beaker's boss was named "Bunsen Honeydew", no doubt named after the popular laboratory heating device.
Thanks for watching!
With jonny quest being mentioned are you ever planning on doing any videos about it?
46:01 bro looks like the Benedict Arnold character model from the "spirits of 76" episode later in the season
I think you meant the William Demont ghost character model, and I can see what you mean.
The nose is a bit different, but with the hair and glasses, they do look very similar.
I am a big fan of the original Jonny Quest series, but the Scooby-Dooniverse is too massive and while I'm also massive, there's still only me and I just don't have the time right now to tackle another Hanna-Barbera series.

31:46 And now, Reject Villains from Jonny Quest.
Old 'Jonny Quest' writers really did like their non-white villains, didn't they?
I'd like to think it was less racism and more just how "exotic" they thought bad guys like that would be.
Well, Purple Race Bannon was definitely a little racist. And by "little", I mean quite a lot, actually.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Another bit of cultural appropriation, albeit it an unintentional one at the time of the show’s making: the ghost buffalo today would probably bring up mention of Miracle, the white buffalo that was born in the mid-Nineties.
More ominous is that in the follow-up episode, as the frozen shark-man was an actual artifact and not a fake made up as part of Wells’s plan. Seems like SCOOBY DOO took place in a world with a drop of H.P. Lovecraft’s stories even before MYSTERY, INC.
34:20 -- Hmmm, seems someone invented that specialized radio before MST3k did...
Love your AquaWorld HR sketch, as well as your TWILIGHT ZONE clip. Call me twisted, but I've always loved how right after the big reveal, the guy with the clipboard looks at Lloyd Bochner and then nopes out of there.
That guy with the clipboard KNEW.
He KNEW!
Thanks for the encouragement on the HR thing. In general I avoid stuff like that because a lot of UA-cam creators do skits and they're often really cringey, but I just needed something to convey just how messed up the situation between Dreyfus and Beaker had to have been afterward.

Hi, Joe!! I meant to ask, but shouldn’t the purpose of the costumes have more of a pull on the ranking than just them being scary or non generic?
For the Witch Doctor and Sam Farron, I think the cow costume should be an exception and be praised more than have points docked? Within the sense of the plan, Farron seemed to choose the costume with the intent to blend into the herd. He left Lenny to be the scary one. It seems clear to me that he intend Tamooka and Lenny to be the main participants responsible for scaring off snoopers and with that many cooks in the kitchen already, it makes sense that he’d try to stay in the herd while helping command them.
Maybe just my opinion and you can be honest about it not making sense if that’s the case, but I feel like how low the outfit score was should be solely on Lenny and how generic the cow costume was should be a plus in this sitch only because of the intent. What do you think?
I try to base my rankings on the villains as "Scooby-Doo villains", and for me that means they have to be original and scary first and foremost, followed by how appropriate they are for the setting and preferably with special effects to sell the verisimilitude of the costume.
Farren's outfit may have been good for blending in, but it failed as a Scooby-Doo villain disguise using my ranking qualifications, because it failed at almost all aspects I deem important (with the exception of how appropriate it was, considering the ranch location).
As these are reviews and based on my own subjectivity and I can't promise every ranking to completely meet every aspect I've deemed important, but by the same token this allows me some leeway if I think a costume has something else going for it that might add (or subtract) points.
You're not wrong that the cow costume wasn't meant to be scary, but that just makes it even less of a Scooby-Doo disguise in my opinion.

this is gonna be a long time away befoe you get to it, but what will you do for a specific episode of “whats new scooby doo”, the one where velma encounters these tribble looking monsters since… they werent really villains?
There are a few villains that pop up here and there that don't fall into the category (e.g., Charlie the Robot), and in those situations I'll probably fly by the seat of my (sweat)pants.
I can't say exactly how I'll handle it until it's in front of me and my empty Word document is demanding my take.

The medicine man should be laughing instead of growling and saying monka wanka but he can say monka wanka when he was first seen
What I wanna know is why didn't the water park have any security guards that kept an eye on the place after hours? Who upon seeing the meddling kids pop up on their surveillance cameras/finding them woulda at least escorted them off the premises. Also, why didn't the director of the place have several questions about what the Scooby gang was doing there and how did they even get in? Despite being gullible, he sure seems like an awfully trusting fellow to let them just search the place after. Not sure if that is a good thing, considering the place had live sea animals that could be dangerous to untrained people being around them. Or the gang could be a danger to them. As an utter stranger to them, falling into a pool full of dolphins is probably only markedly better than if they were sharks, cause dolphins are plenty dangerous if they feel like it/get startled/stressed out/are provoked. There are cases where even trained dolphins attack their handlers and well...the results are not pretty. Even beyond that, introducing several dolphins to a dog sounds incredibly dangerous.
You're not wrong about the dolphins. Watching that scene, I couldn't help but think the Gang were LUCKY all the dolphins did was kick them out of the pool.
As for the security guards, you're touching on one of the most common problems with Hanna-Barbera animation: lack of a world outside the main and supporting characters. For obvious reasons (i.e., money) almost every city is a ghost town and despite an aquarium of that size undoubtedly needing night security (not to mention after-hours janitors and maintenance crew), it'd just be too expensive to animate them.

Blake said that because of the legend they saw the the flying bull, but he just told them about it! Blake is not very smart, is he? I mean, he is daphane's unkle after all.
To be fair to Mr. Blake, I didn't include the part in the dialogue when Fred reminds him that they hadn't heard of the legend until he told them about it.
I have to be careful how much footage I include or UA-cam gets testy.

For the cattle ep we also don't no if they had there stolen cattle breed with any they already had
I wondered that a bit, too.
Assuming the corrupt cattle rancher was imprisoned and his ranch was given to a relative to sort out, how would the authorities go about separating the stolen steers from what Wells already had on hand?
My guess would be a few years of legal wrangling and an out of court monetary settlement, rather than trying to fairly divvy up the animals between the two properties.

1:27 Wait until Mystery incorporated, buddy.
Hah! Yup!
With the possible exception of Velma's family, most of the Gang have very complicated relationships in that series!

I don’t get how that evolutionary offshoot buried at the bottom of the Indian Ocean is frozen in ice. Is there really ice down there?
I doubt it.
I thought it would be odd for ice to be found in those waters and I (metaphorically) laughed my butt off after looking up how warm the Indian Ocean is, only to learn it's literally the warmest on the planet.
I don't think I could be in a hollow out space underneath something that heavy. Not because I'm claustrophobic (which I'm not), but because I would be worried about getting crushed.
Also, do you have plans to rate the villains from the Scooby-Doo video games, books and comics?
I wouldn't immediately rule out ranking villains from other sources, but unfortunately I don't have as ready access to any media other than the TV shows and films.
Fortunately (or unfortunately?), the Scooby franchise is HUGE with the various TV series, let alone the dozens of films, so I'll have my hands full just focusing on them!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
31:59 India is an extremely ethnically diverse place, with dozens of different ethnic groups and languages existing side by side. It would be odd if you didn't come across at least one lighter-skinned person, considering the sheer size and diversity of the place. I would also note that Indian society contains a strain of colourism-- skin-whitening make-up is very popular, and said colourism actually pre-dates British rule of the place-- the previous rulers of India were the Mughal empire, light-skinned Iranians who conquered India in the 1500s.
You were right to point this out and I did reply to another comment that said essentially the same.
I was trying to express yet another complaint at Hanna-Barbera's cost-cutting and poor quality control by subtly alluding to how those two Indian men were colored as everyone else in the show, as opposed to having the colorist use a different acrylic on the cel.
To me it was very glaring as, to the best of my knowledge, every other Indian or Hindu featured in a Hanna-Barbera series was always colored brown (e.g., Hadji from 'Jonny Quest').
I definitely failed miserably at getting what I was trying to say across, and I apologize for that!

I don’t have much hope for the last 4 episodes of season 1 considering the last 2 episodes have unoriginal monsters and the next 2 have kidnapping in their plots. Just shows how overconfident I was with this series after how well the first 4 episodes did.
For what it's worth, my villain ranking is just one aspect of the series overall.
'The Scooby-Doo Show' is still very entertaining to watch and LEAGUES above 'The New Scooby-Doo Movies'!
Thanks for commenting and watching!
That’s very true most of the episodes are timeless and very enjoyable to watch today.
Except of course for Mamba Wamba and the Vodoo Hudoo, A Bum Steer for Scooby, and Jeepers it’s the Jagaro for their cultural appropriation
Love seeing this list every episode, but maybe add what series and which episode each monster is from.
11:35 At least he's not in a Gorilla costume like fucking Carl the stuntman
Poor, poor Carl.
the gang is hydrophobic I guess?

I might be wrong, but I've never heard of cliff dwelling native Americans in Texas. Arizona Colorado and New Mexico, yes, Texas I'm not sure about that one
Funny enough, I was so busy dwelling on the series having reused a Native-American cliff dwelling village as a hideout and the desecration and damage of the location, I didn't even occur to me to check and see if they even existed in that state in the first place!
I guess my consolation is that these are "Villain Ranking" videos and not "historical accuracy" videos, so that gives me an out!

When I was nearing the end of 'The New Scooby-Doo Movies', I remember thinking how nice it'd be to do smaller videos since the episodes would be half the length.

[ACE DECADE]
Can't tell if you just like his silly name, if you intend to tear into him when we reach his episode, or both.
Believe it or not, I have not thought that far ahead, despite having done this silly running gag for years now.
I am very late this time, but here i am.
Unfortunatly we got our first villain to get below two. They where going great at first, but unfortunatly they are falling down. It seems that the writers are getting a bit lazy and unoriginal at this point.
I tought you would have considered the Tamuka helicopter a disguise, since you did that with the vulture helicoper. Did you changed your mind on how to treat this things, or it was because that time you had no other option, but if you have traditional costumes you are gonna prioritize those? It's a bit unfortunate because i think it would have raised the outfit score.
It's very interesting to that this episode introduced the Blake surname, altough it would be ufficialized as Daphne's surname only in the New Scrappy Doo show.
Aside for that i have not much to say that you didn't already mentioned. It was a bit of a forgettable episode to me.
I liked the shark demon episode a lot more. Yes it has a re used monster, but at least they re used on of the best one, and i liked how the mystery is handled, altough it's still not perfect.
Yes you are right, leaving the real demon shark was a mistake. I don't understand why they couldn't have the villain stealing the block of ice and trawing some water in it's place to make it happear it's melting out. Maybe they wanted to give the idea that he was constantly resurrected and then put back to sleep again with the book of spell, but it wasn't handled well. I think what we should focus on tough is that there is a real demon shark at all! This creature really existed at one point in the scooby doo universe. It might be more of an evolution offshot then an actual demon, but this doesn't make it less terrifing.
The book of spell itself was a weird addition, i don't get why it needed to be in the plot. Yes, the shark "realistically" wouldn't remain alive even if frozen in ice, but they didn't took that as an issue with the caveman. I also noticed the fact that he wasn't going after his supposed target, i get that they wanted him as a suspect so they couldn't have the shark appear togheter with him but it still doesn't make sense. I also feel that this whole shark plot just increased the risk of getting caught by drawing attention to the acquariym, he probably should have tought of a different plan to smuggle the pearls out. Was he even sure that the position of manager was gonna go to him if the other guy run away? Genuine question, i don't know how that stuff work.
"Fred should have pulled out his trap right away". Actually why doesn't he always do that? They should know by this point that it's always a guy in a mask, and expecially in later series they start become more aware of that (altough in What's New they tried a few time and the plot always makes sure they couldn't catch the villain unless they know who he is). Altough this time it kinda helped that they waited, because knowing what he was looking for helped with chosing where to set the trap.
I hope the next villains would be able to get better scores. The next episode feature an hidden treasure plot and that's not original at all but that doesn't mean it can't get other points, a treasure can be pretty valuable and i think in the middle of the ocean the risk of getting caught would have been pretty low if there wheren't meddling kids on board. Pirates and sea monsters aren't very original but at least they aren't reused models and the costumes had scooba gears equipment and i think they glow (not 100% sure tought) so they can get points for that. For operation for what i remember they spent most or their time shutting doors, but i don't really remember enough to judge. But maybe they can get at least an average score, but i still think in the lower end.
The rambling ghost i feel can get hight score for costume. It' the first football ghost (altough not the first one related to sport so it depens on how specific you wanna get), i am pretty sure he glowed in some parts and i found him pretty scary. The plan would be hard to judge tough, since it's a revenge scheme and those don't have a clear material gain to calculate, so i am curious how you are gonna do it, you had other revenge schemes before and the clown one got hight scores so who knows (the other... We all know who he was). For operation he had kidnapping, but they where kinda important to the scheme and done in pretty creatives ways, i don't know if this is gonna count for anything. I think he could get a better score but i am not 100% confident. I would wait and see
I'm almost halfway finished with the next script, but so far (SPOILER ALERT!), First Mate Carp and his henchmen may be doing better than you might expect!
The scores have definitely been dropping after such a good initial showing, and I can't help but wonder if that was just Hanna-Barbera quickly getting burned out with this series far, far too early into it.
As for the prop vs. disguise thing, my ranking scale is going through a bit of an evolution as I progress, and a decision I made one or two series earlier may not carry forward much later as my viewpoint of the importance (or lack thereof) might change. I am doing my best trying to be consistent as I can, but I can't promise 100% sameness throughout. Having said that, in the case of the vulture helicopter [HEELICOPTER], I feel more comfortable declaring that as a disguise and not a prop considering the villains weren't wearing any costume and rode around in the vehicle treating it as the primary monster; whereas in Tamuka's case, while it was also technically a primary monster, the villains themselves wore separate disguises. Admittedly, this his a sketchy argument, but it's the best defense I can immediately offer.
You're right in questioning if Wells would have automatically been promoted to Dreyfus' job if the man had been successfully scared off, but even if he didn't get the job, it's likely the aquarium would need some time to find a permanent replacement and in the meantime would ask Wells to take over until they could find one. During that time, Wells would be able to sign the transfer papers for the oysters.
Thank you very much for commenting and for watching!
Children likes repetition
That's being too charitable to the studio.
Children may like repetition, but Hanna-Barbera liked not having to pay artists for new character models more, I think.

@@JoeGoesOver True but the fact that they are iusing the same images 8ver and över is part of the charm.
If I remember correctly those jewels were from mother Russia not India, in fact they were on the same plane by coincidence and to put the plot together.
Nothing in the episode says anything about Russia. Every line of dialogue that references them says they're from India. There's even a pamphlet that says "The Maharaja of Ringtur's Rare Pearls".
If there's any reference to Russia, it's not in my version of the episode.
