- It's here!
At long last, the first set of villains from 'The Scooby-Doo Show'.
Were they an improvement over the ones in 'The New Scooby-Doo Movies'?
You'll have to watch to find out.
SPOILER: They were. They absolutely were.

Another one that Newton forgot to mention!

@@JoeGoesOver, that or the universe of Scooby Doo is one where humans are stronger than humans in our universe. Fits with the cartoon logic in this universe, plus we’ve seen supernatural beings in this franchise before. Our beloved scaredy boy and dog certainly know a few of those themselves (the girls from Ghoul School and the Goblin King)..😊
Ebenezer Crabbe is easily one of the scariest monsters in the Scooby Doo Show
Mine is Milo Booth
@@andy-floriplay-time7366 Oh I 100% agree
@@andy-floriplay-time7366 and the Phantom Racer
Definitely.
Ebenezer Crabbe is definitely one of the better villains in the Scooby-Dooniverse, but I'm curious if he scares so many because he looks sinister, or because he's an old man and thus a reminder how age comes to us all, even as we desperately try clinging to youth as it slips through our fingers like water from a rusty faucet?
And now I'm sad.
Fun Fact: most of the “classic villains” in the live action sequel Monsters Unleashed are actually villains from this show, and this show gets more representation than the original where are you.
Well this is a classic show and one of the most rememberable
It makes sense with how generic a lot of the monsters in Where Are You got after a while
This is exactly why my childhood brain couldn't understand why the villains weren't in scooby doo where are you.
Cyber chase featured a lot of these monsters too. Probably an attempt to increase their visibility.
Unpopular opinion, but this was my favorite iteration of Scooby Doo. It kept the charm of the OG series but it somehow felt like an upgrade to it also.
Judging by the comments I've receive so far, let alone the ones from before I even started this series, that's not an unpopular opinion at all!
'The Scooby-Doo Show' clearly holds a special place in the heart of a lot of fans!
You're dead on about how it almost feels like a remastered version of 'Where Are You?'.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Good to see THIS iteration of Scooby Doo with a higher budget than The New Scooby Movies, huh?
Four years later, so far the studio definitely seemed to have spent more money.
But we're also only two episodes in.
Let's wait to see how things look by season three and whether or not Hanna-Barbera bit off more than they could chew (again).
Thanks for watching and commenting!
you're welcome.@@JoeGoesOver
The 10,000 volt ghost should fry Scooby and Shaggy in that metal file cabinet when he touches it.
More likely shorting out the costume. And frying scoob and shag
That's what I thought!
Do you know what I noticed that this ghost is a mix between Electro and Zzzax
Hey, now!
No jumping the gun on my next video!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@JoeGoesOver whoops!
You need at least four robberies for it to count as a 'rash of crimes'. Three or fewer robbieries is just an itch of crime.
Better spread a lot of hydrocortisone cream around the construction site!
Shaggy might have lost his arms in Vietnam picking up a booby trap box of Scooby Snacks.
Man, Charlie was clever!
I know you joke about how long it will take you to get through all of these, but you are genuinely going at a much faster rate than anyone else I've seen attempt any kind of content involving the whole Scooby-Doo series. I wouldn't be surprised to see you actually make it up to shows like What's New, even when most people burn out long before then.
I'm surprising myself at the pace I'm maintaining, but I'm worried about burn-out as well. Despite editing being a massive pain in parts and the limits of my studio location causing audio issues, the biggest obstacle will always be the script stage. As long as the thoughts flow, I can keep up with the filming and editing.
But without anything to say, there will not be anything to film.
My fingers are definitely crossed hoping any burn-out will be much later than sooner.
Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing!
If Shaggy and Scooby are such cowards, how did anyone convince them to work constructing a skyscraper, hundreds of feet off the ground?
It's called "bullying".
Shaggy may be secretly terrified of Fred.
@@JoeGoesOver When Shaggy is afraid of something, it's no secret. I think it's a convenient plot hole. Unless his fear of "no money means no food" scares him more than acrophobia.
@@Buzz-McCool There was an episode in a haunted house where Shaggy said that starving was scarier than any ghost they might find on the way to the kitchen.
To be fair, Scooby has shown bravery in the face of at least 3 monsters: The Apeman (aka Carl the Stuntman), The Puppet Master, and the duo of Joker and Penguin dressing up as skeletons. Granted, Carl the Stuntman is so pathetic that Scooby Doo showing any bravery against him would be expected, especially since he can’t even fight him off; and the skeleton costumes that both Joker and Penguin wore to scare the gang was their ultimate downfall that time because apparently Scooby thought they were quote “delicious looking bones”. However, the Puppet Master was the most formidable. The reason the dude got caught in the first place was because Scooby actually chose to go after him. Think about it: there was no prompting for Scooby to go get the PM. No bribes, no monsters chasing after him, no fear, no doubt. Scooby saw a masked criminal running away from them, a masked criminal who terrorized the gang by the way, and actively chose to go after him to stop him. Scooby and Shaggy may be cowards, but let’s face it, if Ultra Instinct Shaggy is anything to go by, if Scooby and Shaggy were even half as brave as we know they can be, most of the monsters would’ve been defeated long before they even had a chance to continue their operations. They just happen to be held back by fear so much that we forget they can be brave too..
The Mexico episode reminds me a lot of the Hawaii episode in Scooby-Doo Where Are You.
Yeah, I thought the same.
So excited you’ve continued this series! Love you’re breakdowns, gives me joy!
Thank you!
I, in turn, get joy from reading comments like this!
Thanks for watching!
Amazing first episode for a great show. That shot of the Specter with the 🌕 is iconic.
It was definitely more artsy than what one would normally expect from the series.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I just want to say I am super excited for this series. This one is super nostalgic for me because I has that Scooby Doo and Dynomutt DvD set and rewatched these so much as a kid.
It also endeared me to the Dog Wonder and the crossover episodes were a fun time.
I see it EVERY TIME.
It's like James Bond's mouth on the Goldeneye poster!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Mr. Stonehack's Katazuma voice sounds like Chopper from the "Wheelie and the Chopper Bunch" show.
That's not surprising since both voices were done by Frank Welker.
Damn, hadn't thought about THAT show in ages.
@@JoeGoesOver "I told ya! I told ya!"
@@Buzz-McCool Oh, patch your blowout!
Yes Ebenezer a deranged Blue Man. If he had his own group they would definitely be heavy metal.
Well, Christopher Lee sang in a metal band not too long before his death, so there's precedent.
Fun Fact: The episodes were actually aired out of order and 'A Bum Steer For Scooby' was made first and is the real first episode in terms of the order in which these events happened in the Scooby universe.
There's a argument as to the production/airing order of the first two episodes of 'Where Are You?', but I just err on the side of their original broadcast date.
Airing them out of production order is fine for a series like 'The Scooby-Doo Show', but would have been a nightmare for 'Mystery Incorporated' with its two-season story arc.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Happy Thanksgiving, Joe!
I can already tell that this series is a boost in quality over The New Scooby-Doo Movies, and as a result you definitely seem to be enjoying the series more. Looking forward to the rest of the series and beyond!
I hope you had a pleasant holiday as well, thank you!
I am absolutely enjoying this series much more than the last. You are not wrong about the immediate jump in story, character and animation.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Another great addition to your rank the villains series. I love how you pick up on every little detail in the episodes. The Scooby-Doo Show also happens to be my favourite Scooby series, so I am looking forward to seeing how the ratings stack up as we go.
Thank you kindly! I do put a lot of work into these (this is a one man operation) so reading nice comments like this is very appreciated!
I'm looking forward to continuing this series as well. It's still too early to say as I'm still working on the script, but the next two villains seem to be trending upward in scoring as well!
Thanks for watching!
I remember this show so much more vividly then where are you - which is slightly strange in itself as I believe where are you is the most known and this show also aired when my mum was 4 😅
I think a lot of it depends on where the series was syndicated.
Not every local station or cable network carried every Scooby-Doo series, so it was likely a crapshoot which series you'd see at any given time.
And the competition is a lot fiercer these days, compared to the time when a show only had to worry about two competitors in the same time slot.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
It feels so good to see animation quality that's not potato levels.
Oh, this series was practically Studio Ghibli compared to 'The New Scooby-Doo Movies'!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I remember coming home from school in the early eighties and this was an afternoon cartoon.
I'm old enough this was Saturday morning for me.
My afternoons were spent trying to get home from school in time for 'Inspector Gadget', 'ThunderCats' and 'GI Joe'.
@JoeGoesOver oh yeah I remember watching those cartoons. Two of my favorite Saturday morning cartoons was Thundarr the Barbarian and
Hong Kong Phooey.
26:56: That also means anything that contradicts with the Hanna-Barbera canon shouldn't even happen, like Return to Zombie Island or Curse of the 13th Ghost.
44:32: I guess even when Frank Welker isn't voicing Fred Jones, he's stuck with the habit of saying "Traysure".
Hah! I thought about pointing out how Katazuma said that word as well, but ultimately left it out. There's a moment in the script I'm currently working on where I do say something similar about Welker's pronunciation of a different word, however. I only hope it's not taken as actual criticism of our beloved Fred actor and simply meant as playful teasing.
@@JoeGoesOver Oh, sure, I was just teasing about the “Traysure” thing; it’s just something I noticed because it’s so weird hearing a different character Welker voiced doing the same pronunciation.
With the Aztech ghost episode, when you basically have Galvatron in your episode, you know you have a good villain.
I guess I'm not seeing it? Maybe a little in the face?
Regardless, thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing!
@@JoeGoesOver I was more talking about the voice and his mannerisms. I know, it's kind of a vague comparison, but that's how I saw the character. Thanks for commenting back and thanks for the video. You do such great work and keep it up.
My favorite line from the episode, *"The Fiesta Host is an Aztec Ghost"*
"Man the lifeboats, cowards first!"
-Shaggy
The boys were almost PROUD of being so cowardly!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I've been waiting for you to cover this particular scooby series, and man was it worth the wait. I love your previous scooby doo villain analysis videos and this is my favorite scooby doo series (on par with "where are you?" for me). I look forward to seeing your future uploads! 😁
Thank you very much for your kind words!
Part two is currently being written, so here's hoping I can keep up with your expectations!
If not, feel free to punish me in any way deemed necessary, as long as it doesn't involve watching 'A Pup Named Scooby-Doo.'
Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing!
I admit a part of me wish you would eventually convince yourself to watch Pup since it has some interesting monsters to analize but if it proves to be to much and you are gonna skip it i wouldn't complain to much (altough I would still be a little sad) because I am even more interested in what's comes later expecially What's New and Mystery Inc, but also Be Cool and even a few episodes of Guess Who (I have seen little of that series and most is forgettable but there where a few episodes with the guest star has the villain that had pretty out there motivations and explainations for how the scheme is exectueted that it could be fun to analize.
I hope you would eventually do all the series or at leasts the ones that actually works in this format (the ones with just Scooby Shaggy and Scrappy, Get a Clue, Velma (unless you do a single episode treating it like an extended movie) and to a less extent 13 Ghosts does not imo, even putting aside the quality) but I recognize is an huge amout of work so I am not putting any pressure on you i just hope my two favourites (WN and MI) are covered.
I think you’re right about sees an archaeologist being able to tell the glanced at the villains just told the government they got into the tomb. It had already been looted and may be recently to it would keep archaeologists away, and if they found out the treasures being stolen recently, and they wouldn’t expect the villains
I was not expecting this on Thanksgiving, I started this before dinner, and am finishing it now.
I'm very thankful for this channel, and the effort you put into it Joe
And I'm very thankful to read such nice, positive feedback like yours! It absolutely keeps me motivated!
I hope your Thanksgiving was a good one, and thanks for watching!
19:05
If you want to get pedantic about it, the mass murderer's last name is spelt as Speck, but the Scooby wiki spells the lens guy's name as Spec.
My pedant brain did go there, but figured the pronunciation was the most important part, considering when this aired back in 1976, nobody watching would have any idea that the "official" spelling was missing the final K.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Ebenezer Crabbe more like Epicnezer Crabbe. Also Hope you have a happy Scooby Doo Thanksgiving Joe.
Hah! Thanks!
And I hope your holiday was/will be good, too!
I love the editing you did with the head-turning sequence. That synchronization really put a smile on my face.
While re-watching this one last time for quality-control before making it live on UA-cam, I told my wife who was in the room at the time that this was probably my proudest moment in the entire video, considering how much work it took to manipulate everything to get the shots in sync!
So thank you for noticing!
And for watching and for subscribing!
I've never noticed those errors in The Scooby Doo Show entrance before 😅 Been looking forward to watching your rankings for The Scooby Doo Show as there are some really interesting villains and episodes in this series
If you really want to see a funny opening titles error, watch the opening to 'What's New, Scooby-Doo?'. During one of the silhouette running sequences, Fred is missing.
Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing!
@@JoeGoesOver oh ya wow that is funny 😂
I once did math on the characters' age with an old roommate when riffing on an episode. We thought the kids were 18 in 1969. Old enough to go everywhere without adult supervision but still "kids" to someone older. If 18 in 1969, the gang was 25 in 1976. In 1979, they were 28. When Scooby and Shaggy started hanging exclusively with Scrappy (while Fred, Daphne, and Velma were absent) they were 29. By 1985, during 13 Ghosts, Shaggy and Daphne were 34. They would have been born in 1951 (same as my father). In 2024, the gang would turn 73 years old.
Most sources place OG Velma at 15, Daphne at 16 and Fred and Shaggy at 17. That supposedly attributed to the original series creators.
In the late-1960s, it wasn't unheard of for minors to travel unaccompanied by any parents or guardians.
Technically, that still happens today, but U.S. society would look a bit more askance at it.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
It's true what they say-everything keeps evolving into crabs. Even Scooby Doo villains.
That was a particularly deep science cut there, as well as a pun.
Kudos!
I suppose it's no mere coincidence that we chose "cancer" as the word for that disease because it was the Greek word for "crab".
Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing!
Happy thanksgiving Joe I’m so thankful for this series and how often you upload it!!!!
Thank you! I hope your holiday went well as well!
I'm trying to keep to a schedule, but can't promise to maintain it as so much of what I do depends on other obligations in my life, let alone there are times when my brain just refuses to gush anything out for my fingers to put into Microsoft Word.
At least during those times I can prepare the supplemental art, like the background heads or title cards.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Yep I remember reading a book about that guy and how he deleted those nurses the title of the book was The Crime of The Century.
Thank you Joe, I'm excited for this series
I'm happy to oblige!
Part Two is currently being written!
Thanks for your nice comment and for watching!
Thanks for covering this series. I think this series has the most interesting villains. I swear when i was younger i always watch the Scooby Doo show to watch the villain backstories. My favorite is the snow beast
And thank you for your nice comments!
So far, this series has been a lot more enjoyable than the previous one, that's for certain!
The script for Part Two is nearing completion, so look for that in the near future!
Thanks for watching!
In my opinion, the Scooby doo show comes the closest to matching the feeling of the original 2 seasons of where are you. It’s not perfect, but I can see how some of the episodes were confused for a season 3. Honestly TSDS isn’t that bad, and is easily an improvement over the new Scooby doo movies.
Just like how 'What's New, Scooby-Doo!' was an obvious return to the franchise's roots, 'The Scooby-Doo Show' did the same thing, albeit with only a single tangent series separating it from 'Where Are You?'.
Let's just say I don't dread beginning a new episode of this series as I did with 'The New Scooby-Doo Movies'. To be fair, 'Movies' wasn't nearly as bad as I expected before my re-watch, but they certainly weren't as enjoyable as 'Where Are You?'.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great ranking as always. I've only seen the first episode so I'm biased in this ranking but my ranking goes
1) Spectre of Ebenezer Crabbe and Ghost of Netty Crabbe
2) Ghost of King Katazuma and Aztec Statue Monster
Great video, Joe! I love this series, and "High Rise Hair Raiser" is one of my favorite episodes. The Specter of Ebenezer Crabbe is one of the creepier villains, and I believe he was voiced by the same actor (John Stephenson) who voiced another of my favorite villains from the series (Gramps the Vamp from "Vampire Bats and Scaredy Cats").
I didn't like "The Fiesta Host Is an Aztec Ghost" as much as "High Rise Hair Raiser", though I agree with your rationale for giving the villains in that episode a higher score.
Thank you for your kind words!
I believe I've said it before, but there are times when even I'm surprised at how a villain scores by the end. I'll go in expecting one thing based solely on my first impression (or childhood memories), but the longer I consider the plan, or an aspect of the disguise or something they did during the Gang's investigation, my opinion will change, and often by a significant margin.
I honestly started out with the whole "D.O.O. Score" as a gimmick (and pun), but have come to realize this was likely the best way to rank these guys as objectively as I can.
Thanks for watching!
Yessss! What’s next? Pup named? What’s New? Thirteen ghost? Or will you take on Scrappy?
My plan so far is to complete 'The Scooby-Doo Show' while mixing in the occasional Scooby Renaissance film villain discussion.
Once this series is complete, I'm unsure where to go next.
On one hand, chronologically it should be 'Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo', but setting aside how much I want to avoid He Who Shall Not Be Named, much of that series does not follow the traditional Scooby formula and just consists of Shaggy, Scooby and Him getting involved with miscellaneous comedy situations.
It's likely I'll skip ahead to 'What's New, Scooby-Doo?' as that seems to have a more established rapport with the fandom, let alone myself.
I'm not ruling out '13 Ghosts' or 'A Pup Named', but they're probably far, far in the future.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Actually there are several series with Scrappy and the first one, as well as a few others, do follow the standard formula for most of their episodes. I am not at all against you skipping to What's New since that's my second favourite series, and just after that one there is my favourite series, Mystery Inc
(Ok, technically there is get a clue in between but it does not follow the formula either so that's an easy skip)
Yayyyy I remember crab tree as when I was a child I had this disk and he was on the only playable one as the first ep
That's one nice thing about streaming, on demand video: no worries about broken or unplayable discs.
On the other hand, Warner Bros can't come to your house and take your Blu-rays off your shelf because they decided another Blu-ray company was going to be printing their show.
Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing!
@@JoeGoesOverthanks for replying and yeah they have a hard time trying to do that cuz if they did I'd be like the farmer from spooky space kook also have you though about playing the scooby games? Whether as a live stream or as a ganeplay series? Also do you have a discord? As I have a scooby doo fan art you might like?(if you do it would be cool for you to have a fan art section at or near the end of your videos
Excellent as always.
Thank you for the excellent comment!
And for watching and subscribing!
Anyone else would cry about their child hood would be ruined with this me nah I am laughing and like man as kid I was oblivious to any of this 😂😂 love it
I have had very few complaints over these videos and most viewers comprehend that I'm going in as a fan and not a cynical schmuck with an axe to grind, or, god forbid, someone looking for easy clickbait.
Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing!
I’m thankful that I’m not the only grown adult still way into Scooby
Take no shame in what you enjoy, and don't let others dictate how you should feel about it as well!
There is no form of entertainment that is better or worse than any other as long as it serves the purpose of distracting us from the existential horror of existence.
I'm not counting entertainment that HURTS people, obviously.
Or the Kardashians.
Definitely shame people who enjoy the Kardashians unironically.
I've been waiting for this series!
I'm happy to supply it!
Episode 5 is currently in the writing stage.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Been waiting so long for you to get to this. The best scooby doo series!
I've been getting a lot of positive feedback stating the same thing.
I was expecting my 'Zombie Island' video to be doing better than it has, but this one has already quickly surpassed the views on that one.
Never underestimate nostalgia, apparently, even if it's one nostalgia versus another.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I love that this series has a tinge of Cinema Sins lol
Love pointing out all the logical flaws 😂
I try not to focus too much on them, but if they're really "in your face"... 😁
Thank you for the perfectly timed video. I watched it with my after Thanksgiving dinner...cup of coffee. 🚽
I hope you washed your hands before rejoining everyone after your... cup of coffee!
@@JoeGoesOver Yeah...of course I did...
I mean...I do every time.🤥
I like that the videos are so long, because in that way you explain it much, much better. I can't wait for all your similar videos and more
As my kids would be glad to tell you, I AM a talker.
I only hope I don't bore viewers as much as I bore casual strangers if the subject of bidets comes up in conversation.
Regardless, thank you very much for your kind comments, and for watching!
Ah yes! This was the show that introduced me to the Scooby Doo franchise:D It ran in the 90's and early 2000's on Cartoon Network in Denmark, before getting replaced by What's New Scooby Doo. I'm looking forward to this notalgia feast
Thank you for watching and commenting, and I hope what I've uploaded scratches your nostalgia itch!
If the itch continues, though, seek professional help, or at least try to get hold of a good topical cream!
Happy thanksgiving!

It wouldn't take much to be smarter than ol' Carl.
I bet be chews with his mouth open, too!
I've watched The Thing is one of my favorite movies, and I've always thought Palmer was the first one to be infected.
I know WHY John Carpenter did it, but I personally hate ambiguity in film.
He was careful to use a crewmember's shadow when showing the sled dog stalk its first human victim and NOT any member of the cast, just to make certain no one could specifically identify the first to be absorbed by the Thing.
Here’s a little piece of trivia 2 years after this episode aired a guy in Tokyo died at 79 but his family hid this until 2010 so they could collect his pension and he was believed to be one of the oldest living men in Tokyo at the time and because of this finding out Japan searched for anyone claiming to be over 100 years old and the Japanese government can’t document the whereabouts of 234,354 people over 100. I’m mostly telling you this because you think of people quietly hiding his body.
Never underestimate the lure of free money!
Though as a Scooby villain scheme, that'd be pretty horrific.
Finally someone who made their research i love it man :-D
Thank you for your nice comments!
I only ever started to look at Scooby from a grown-up's perspective after watching the shows with my (then) young daughter. We'd be on the couch watching an episode, and I found myself continually thinking, "Wait. There's no way that could happen."
It wasn't exactly the physics that were in doubt, but rather the motivations of the villains, or how so often the Gang would be committing crimes themselves.
Thanks for watching!
@@JoeGoesOver Always watched scooby but i really begun investigating as an adult. Im from Denmark and there were actually not of episodes that never aired in my country
The reason I’ve been waiting for you to get to this series is that it’s so good but there are NO videos about it on UA-cam!
I love these series
Two episodes in and I can already tell it's better than 'The New Scooby-Doo Movies' at any rate!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
At least he didn't blame Carl the stunt man
I'm starting to wonder where Carl was on the morning of November 22, 1963.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Right after you criticized their shoes, I got an ad for Skechers workwear. Dang UA-cam. Dang. It was like two seconds later.
I've lost track of all the times I've had a conversation with my wife or friends, got up to Google whatever we were talking about and, no matter how obscure, when I started to type my search, autofill already knew what I was looking for.
On the one hand, it's super scary how much our tech is monitoring us.
On the other hand, it's super convenient to be able to ask my phone what the weather is going to be today while it's still in my pocket.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Pleasant surprise to see this come out, I liked this series but I wasn't a fan of the more "elastic" bodies. The villains were good and they didn't rehash scenarios/storylines from previous episodes. I loved the Ace Decade one especially.
Sadly, you're right. As the Scooby franchise continued, the animation style started to become more and more cartoonish.
Shaggy and Scooby are one thing, but seeing the occasional stretching of Fred, Daphne and Velma is jarring as hell.
Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing!
For the next set of episodes, I know the 10,000 V ghost I think your complaint about criminals, keeping businesses open when they’re trying to keep people away, may not apply after all the main villain is the mayor of the town and it’s not stated that the businesses we see belong to him so he may not be able to close them
The next video is done, so later tonight you'll get the chance to see my take on the Mayor of Winterhaven's attempts to sabotage [SAB-OH-TADGE] his town's businesses.
It's available right now to Patreon supporters, but should be live at around 6:00pm EST to everyone else.
That's barring any UA-cam copyright shenanigans, of course.
My, my, Joe what great upload schedule you have!
Crabbe is one of my All-Time favorite Scooby villains, however those Aztec villains... Unfortunately, I had never seen their episode. Whoops.
Thank you! I'm definitely feeling pressure to keep to a schedule, but there's no guarantee they'll be this frequent.
I'm just one guy after all.
Or technically two, if going by tonnage.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you for making my thanksgiving drive great!
I'm happy to make ANY drive better than what it would be normally!
I HATE being behind the wheel. It's almost legendary at this point.
My family has planned vacations and trips around how much I hate to drive.
Think I'm kidding? Back in 2013 for our anniversary, my wife bought us three tickets for 'The Book of Mormon'.
One for me, one for her and one for my best friend to handle the multiple hour drive to Chicago.

Thank you very much! I absolutely appreciate the heck out of nice comments like this!
Thank you for watching as well!
New video should be up this Friday or Saturday (barring any UA-cam copyright matching shenanigans). It's available now to my Patreon supporters, who I like to give early access when possible.
Thanks again for the kind words!
@@JoeGoesOver for sure dude! I'm still watching ever since i made that comment haha, watched a good 4 or 5 videos. I'm totally hooked, it's 1 am for me but i don't care. Absolutely loving your analysis and takes on everything, super underrated and high quality content.
There are much weirder town names than a number. Normal, Illinois, Random Lake, Wisconsin, and Chicken, Alaska, just to name a few.
Who could forget Santa Claus, Indiana?
You'll never guess what holiday they have a slight obsession about!

The series I like to call: “Scooby doo: world touuuuuuuuuuuuur🎵”
They touched on it briefly in the previous series, but 'The Scooby-Doo Show' definitely broadens the Gang's horizons when it comes to travel.
I wonder if it's because they were working on 'Laff-a-Lympics' at the time and the studio felt keeping Scooby in the rural United States would feel stifling?
Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@JoeGoesOver my pleasure. And I’ll continue to with every installment…. Unless you’re covering anything with scrappy in it
Nice timing on the head turn bit! 👍
You have no idea how much effort went into getting that to sync properly!
I could probably upload videos more often if I didn't allow myself to get bogged down with hour-long editing tangents that only constitute seconds of screen time.
Oh well, I'm a slave to my passions.
But frankly, it's all worthwhile when someone notices them, so thank you for that!
We're off to a good start.
We are indeed.
I shouldn't say anything as I'm still in the middle of writing the script, but the next two villains seem to continue the trend.

Perhaps the house is protected by the historical society
Good point and I forgot to include that in my script!
I've noticed that in my comments, lately. Getting reminded how I forgot to mention something that I had originally intended to bring up.
Even when I'm not in front of my keyboard, my brain will often gravitate toward what to include in a script, like when I'm in the shower or driving, and often an important point will occur to me. Sadly, there are times I don't make it to my computer or smartphone in time before the thought is lost in the ether.
It's even more aggravating to have forgotten this considering the building next to where I work recently lost a lawsuit by the local historical society for not having installed approved windows when doing a massive refurbishing. They had spent tens of thousands on just the windows despite being warned that city code required approval from the Society. It took a massive DAILY fine ordered by the judge for the developer to rectify their mistake.

I thought your comment about archaeologists being able to check by dust the villains could’ve just clean to clean it to make the ruins easier to read I mean for centuries would have a lot of dust
Seasoned archaeologists should, at a mere glance, be able to tell if a tomb had been emptied by modern criminals or looted in antiquity.
The moment they entered the pyramid, they should know to contact the Mexican government.

30:34 Ah, the cattle rustlers strike again!
As the series progresses, it's becoming more and more unavoidable to conclude that there had to have been a larger organization behind the villains, supplying them with necessary muscle to carry out their schemes, as well as enough resources to make sure their guys avoid arrest.

I didnt have time to watch this today but ill watch it tomorrow! Happy thanksgiving Joe! Much love to you and your family.
Thank you for your kind words and I hope yours was pleasant as well!
Anyone else think Ebenezer Crabbe looks like the Pertwee-era Dr. Who as a ghost?
I'm not a Whovian myself, but after looking up which Doctor (not witchdoctor, Scooby writers!) you're referring to, I can see the resemblance.
All the time I was working on this video, Ebenezer Crabbe's appearance felt so familiar and I couldn't place it. Only now do I realize he looks like psychotic seventh U.S. President, Andrew Jackson. He of the $20 bill fame.

this is great. where are you and the scooby doo show are my favorites.
Most Scooby shows occupy at least one section of my heart, but it's hard to deny the nostalgia of those two series!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Fuck yes!!!! Thank you, Joe! This is my favorite iteration of Scooby-Doo! I hope they’re as efficient objectively as they are in my heart
Glad to oblige!
This series is definitely the best one produced until the early 2000s!

@@JoeGoesOver For sure. I liked all of Where Are You for what it was and I didn't know that the New Movies were that rough...Still love them however. This though, in my opinion, peak Scooby Doo. I can't wait for you to get to episodes like Gator Ghoul and Tar Monster. All of the greats from Cyber Chase were from WAY and SDS.
And of course. You make great Scooby Doo content. Never doubt your charisma.
This show is a vast improvement over the Scooby Doo Movies, including it's villains. I am currently at season 3 and i am enjoying it very much. The writing it's also much better, altought with the usual naivity tipical of a kids cartoon, especially with what happens at the construction site . As such i do not have many issues, but i still have a few questions: in the map of the building on the newspaper i am not entirely sure where the villain's penthouse is supposed to be but anyways we see that the robbed houses are all arpund the building, so even if it's constructed, wouldn't obstruct the view only to one sode, still leaving other building on the same side of the penthouse that could be seen? Another question is, in the fake story (if it is fake... the precence of a real spell book raises the possibility that there could be some truth in it) is Ebenezer supposed to be death or not? They say that he achived immortality and comes back to exend his life, but also that he is a spectre, who wouldn't need to exetend his life bing immortal by default.
For the second episode my question is: how they made the giant footprint that appears when Katazuma supposedly kidnapps the professor? Was it already there and the gang didn't noticed it due to the dark and fog? I assume that's also how the professor was able to disappear in front of their eyes. Speaking of wich i think the professor staged his kindapping because he didn't tough anyone would be altruistic enough to risk their life to save a random stranger so it could be the classic mistake of villain not understanding that people could be better then them.
I was expecting Ebenezer to get more then aztec monsters since i liked him more but i guess that's the interesting part of this rankings, the result could be different from what your gut feeling would be. What's sure is thst Ebenezer is one of the more determined and no-nonsense villains, from constantly following the gang, to geting on their cars, to not failing for their tricks and immediatly going after his goal to chasing them in life treathing situations. On thing i noticed that in the first videos you used to dewlve more on the villain physical appearence, while now you focus more on "objective" facts like the special effects or how scary it is in universe. I understand the reason but i also liked how it was before, i liked when you analized the design choises of the monsters (altough i also like the major focus on special effects because a few first villains like the miner 49 and redbear got hight scores despite litteraly looking just like men wich was something i never agreed with)
I was expecting the videos to get shorter or include more villains since the episodes are half the lenght but i guess you still found a lot to talk (like me while writing this comment lol). I tought we where gonna get either more villains at once or shorter but more frequent videos, but i guess the schedule would probably remain the same. I am still waiting for the next two, they are both villains i really like so i hope they get hight score expecially the 10000 volts ghos, unfortunately the plan is pretty unoriginal but i think the costume would get hight scores and maybe the operation too who knows
You make a fair point that as these videos progress, my ability to grade them may be evolving as well. Unfortunately, as everything is subjective, it's difficult to nail a particular standard for a critical review as some things are beyond what the audience can control when thinking about what they're seeing. Even the time of day you watch something or when your last/next meal was/is can influence one's attitude.
I do have a "cheat sheet" to remind me what I'm looking for when discussing the various aspects of the scoring, but admittedly I don't always follow it as faithfully as others might. At times, I balance maintaining the letter of my scale to the spirit in which it was created, often being more concerned with what is more entertaining for those watching my video while at the same time trying to remain objective.
I think it's better served to discuss the mechanics, reasoning and effectiveness of a particular outfit rather than focusing on how "cool" it is, though if I see one that impresses me enough, that will definitely be taken into consideration when coming up with a rating.
You're not wrong about the building only potentially blocking a limited view from the penthouse hideout, but if they're greedy enough (and they WERE greedy), even losing out on that many potential victims was a no-go for Sparks and Rivets.
Fictional villains have always flipflopped between not understanding human kindness with depending on human kindness to exact their schemes. Some even monologue about how easy it is to get away with their crimes because they know too many people are kind and decent and can be taken advantage of.
I mentioned in another comment that while I expected to be able to fit more than two episode discussions in one video, I don't know until sitting down to write how much material I will have. For example, this time I spoke a lot more about the Crabbe scheme than the Katazuma one. Fortunately, I'm under no contractual obligations to deliver a set number of minutes to a network, so my videos can be anywhere from 10 minutes to upwards of an hour.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
When i was little the only episodes of this show i ever really watched were the Pterodactyl ghost episode and the 10000 volt ghost ones because they were part of a video cassette compilation i had (4 where are you episodes and 2 Scooby Doo show episodes)
It's amazing how far we've come in just the last few decades.
We went from being at the whim of the television network or local stations airing syndicated episodes in whatever order and whatever day of the week or time of the day they felt was best, to streaming services that are at our beck and call.
Even when it comes to home media, we've gone from the inefficient and expensive to produce VHS tape that would barely hold four episodes, so they had to be curated to include fan favorites, to DVD and Blu-ray sets that contain every episode of a series.
I still remember my Columbia House subscription 'Star Trek: TOS' and 'Star Trek: TNG' that delivered one or two VHS tapes per month with just two episodes per cassette, and just one season of each taking up an entire bookshelf.

I’m so exited for the Scooby doo show reviews
They're here! *

Thank you very much! It is appreciated, appreciated so hard!
I don’t know, your math about the age of Netty Crabbe, while worthwhile, relies on the supposition that Netty is a ghost who looks like she did when she died, like Mr. Doherty seems to imply to the gang. When Rivets and Sparks constructed the Ebenezer Crabbe disguise around the legend that Ebenezer was some sort of immortal warlock who faked his death to disguise his eternal life. I’d always assumed that Netty was meant to be a similar type of thing, a supernaturally old crone who had “faked her death” like her ancestor. And that Mr. Doherty’s comment was meant to insinuate that she was following in Ebenezer’s footsteps
I often have to do quite a bit of guesswork and supposition to come up with a plausible explanation for things.
As we're dealing with cartoon physics, sometimes all bets are off!

If i was sparks and ribbits i'd rob all the business or as many as i can in one or two nights than peave the city
They were playing the LONG game, apparently.
Didn't quite work out for them, though, did it?

It's not completely relevant, but I got special keys for my room. My door key has little gems on it so I can tell it apart, even if i'm unlocking the door in the dark. So maybe the people have the dial memorized and so choose to open it in the dark, just in case someone is spying on them.
Because of my day job, I have a ton of keys on my chain, so I have my housekey marked with a special cover, otherwise I'd be forever trying keys at random just to open my front door!
As some who grew up in a Spanish speaking bilingual household, I can confirm that while porta means door, it would actually be spelled as puerta instead. Plus, El Porta? It should actually say La Puerta, not using El cause that just doesn’t work in Spanish.
The problem with dealing with older Scooby episodes is there is very little "official" documentation available like subtitles or the rest, and the subtitles we do get aren't always accurate.
Hell, the official sources can't even keep the episode airdates consistent!
I went with what was available to me when it comes to what the characters on screen were actually saying.
Also, kudos for speaking two languages! I admire the hell out of people who can do that!
Happy Thanksgiving! Thank you for making these videos ❤
I hope you had/have a nice holiday as well, and you're quite welcome!
I'm glad I released it earlier than intended.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
This is a great Thanksgiving present
Hah! Thank you for your enthusiasm!
I had originally planned on waiting until Friday or Saturday to make it live, and a couple of other UA-cam channels recommended NOT dropping a new video on a holiday which could hurt how many see it, but I also figured if I was home from work, I'd appreciate having something new to watch, so I pushed it a day or two earlier than intended for anyone stuck at home looking for new stuff.
Thanks for watching!
Oh my, the last time I watched this, I hadn't seen Indiana Jones 1 or 2 or 3 or 4. But now I have seen 1, 2, 3, and 4. but not 5.
or 6
They should have stopped at 3, and 4 was god awful, but 5 wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting. Certainly much better than 4.
I wonder what changed?
*in the distance, a man with pronounced neck flab wearing a plaid shirt is glaring*
I doubt any self-respecting warlock would have a book like Black Magic and Other Neat Weird Stuff in his library. Then again, one of its incantations did turn a boy and a dog into monsters.
Shaggy and Scooby are always messing with stuff they shouldn't.
See 'Monsters Unleashed' for their mystery chemical drinking splurge.
@@JoeGoesOver, and yet in A Pup Named Scooby Doo we see them try their hardest to protect Shaggy’s baby sister Sugie from being kidnapped and also stopping a zombie skateboarder from using dolphins as tools to smuggle drugs (yes, actual drugs, in a kid’s cartoon. Little Velma even says the actual word drugs). So the Mystery Gang clearly can be responsible, but like the teenagers they are, also not really..
I've been traumatized
Let’s gooo my one my favorite sows
Happy to scratch your nostalgia itch!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
My favorite Scooby Doo show season 1 villains are Dr Coffin, Ebenezer Crabbe, No Face Zombie, Merlin, Aztec Ghost and The Headless Horseman.
Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@JoeGoesOver you're welcome.
my thanksgiving just got better
I'm glad I didn't wait until Friday or Saturday to post it!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@JoeGoesOverNo problem!
43:34 speaking as a woman, it's for safety. Violence against women is really bad in some parts of Mexico, and the police in North America in general are useless.
That is a disturbing (and sadly spot-on) observation to introduce into a discussion on Scooby-Doo, and one that didn't occur to me at the time.
This is my second brush with something similar within the past week or two. At one of my side-gigs working for a social media firm, I had answered an off-kilter comment made by a rando. A day or two later, my employer brought it to my attention and pointed out how creepy it actually was and how I should have answered differently. From a guy's perspective, the comment had been weird, but from a girl's perspective, it was closer to disturbing. Just a subtlety of language and background can make all the difference in the world on the interpretation.
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Also, about all the safety violations here, it really shouldn’t be surprising that there were many safety violations I mean the construction company is Acme, which while it is indeed a real company which was really surprising for me to find out in cartoons. It’s generally used as a catchall company, which sells everything from bombs with time fuses to pianos the fall on peoples heads to save the whole damn cruise ships, a little bit of everything
Hah! You weren't the only one to point out the terrible cartoon track record of companies named "Acme".
The kids growing up watching this show were so young, weren’t we? We all thought they failed because the Scooby Gang were on their tail. Growing up as we are now and watching this channel, we now understand the truth-the villains failed because their plans were so stupidly elaborate, poorly executed, and recklessly sloppy. They were the ones who NEVER would’ve gotten away with it if it wasn’t for our meddling kids and their adorable dog..😊
Well to be fair when your biggest customer is a coyote I think you probably wanna be reasonable to hire animals and pay them a decent salary at least? I mean we're not I'm not the only one who thinks that the Acme construction company also is owned by Acme meat products who is also owned by Acme subsidiaries which is also owned by Acme real estate who is also owned by Acme products.
Acme is definitely the Looney Tunes Universe (Looney Tuniverse?) of Google.

1. The Aztec statue should be laughing instead of growling
2. The specter laughs, but the times he growled, he should laugh instead of growl
Fifty-fifth!
But mostly I just wanted to comment after seeing this immediately after the Zombie Island video
I think this series used to be on HBO or something. I remember streaming it there. When I went to check recently, it wasn't there anymore. Idk.
That's why I stopped mentioning where people could watch these shows on streaming services because they keep changing.
I mentioned "Netflix" once in one of my videos and was inundated with comments on how the show was (or wasn't) currently available there.
I'm like, "Uh, you guys realize that these videos I make represent a snapshot in time and may not reflect how things are four years later, right?"
39:10 Why was there only one footprint? There should have been two, right?
Exactly!
I thought the same thing at the time and can't believe I forgot to say something about it in the actual video itself!
