Who else here is SICK of Scooby?

[ZorBrak]

I am so sickened to hear there is ANOTHER scooby show being made, HEY WARNER! why not try ressurecting a GOOD series like the Flintstones? Who else is sick of Scooby?

[Karkull]

I'm one of those strange people who don't care for any of Hanna-Barbara's old cartoons. I think that most (if not all) of them were poorly drawn and poorly written. Is there something wrong with me, :D.

[Bird Boy]

I love scooby..but not what he's become. He's become to popular...his ego is too big..

I mean..wasn't regular animation good enough for you scoob? did you have to go CG?

ok, I'm done.. :p

I never really liked Scooby, well as a kid I did, but after rewatching a couple times, I saw that it has terible writing & animation. A very over-rated cartoon that prospers only through the evils of nostalgia.

[kiddiesunshine]

i'd love torturing that mutt, but he's so high on "scooby snacks" that his brain doesn't understand the concept of pain.

[austin norsworthy]

I hate scooby. I liked the movies, {except aliens} but on the shows the animation is very bad. I mean, except in "13 ghosts" the movies and the one with shaggy, scooby, and scrappy, there weren't any REAL monsters, so why didn't they just gang up on him and beat him up? i guess you can never tell if it's someone willing to commit murder. I would like to see a movie that has the whole normal cast plus scrappy and scooby's couson. case in point: there are to many scooby shows as it is.

[mookie75]

I used to watch Scooby all the time as a kid. However, now I can barely sit through an episode. It's just too painful to watch. The poor animation, the crappy voice acting, etc etc.

Despite all that, I would still rate Scooby above the Jetsons and the Flintstones. I'm not sure exactly why...but I never liked the Jetsons. As for the Flintstones, I quickly realized that practically ever episode followed the same out line:

1. Fred screws up.
2. Wilma (and possibly others) get mad at Fred.
3. Fred fixes the problem and everyone is happy.

As for the rest of the Hanna-Barbara cartoons - I haven't really seen much of them. However, I was never a really big fan.

P.S. I suppose it could be noted that I'm sure many of my favorite cartoons as a child would seem corny now. He-Man, Transformers, G.I. Joe, etc. I don't think they'd seem as bad as Scooby...but I'd probably still watch them and think, "I used to watch these?" :eek:

[Naraht]

I think the betterer question here is...

Who here is NOT sick of Scooby?

[The Dork Knight]

Wanna know a secret?




I'm sick of it!

- Foley Is Good

[Sango]

I'm really sick of it! When I was younger, I used to watch it but I never really got into it. It was just a show that came on TV and if there was nothing else on I'd watch it. Now I just can't stand to see it anymore, especially during the day when CN plays "Scooby Movies." They're almost an hour long.... :(

You're not strange at all,Karkull-as a matter of fact,I agree with you ! Hanna-Barbara,IMO,made the worst cartoons! The characters were stiff,and they were always walking past the same thing!


Oh,and yes ,I'm really tired of Scooby-Doo. It seems likes the only thing CN shows (that and DBZ. :eek: )

[kiddiesunshine]

aren't you all glad cn got rid of mysteries, inc.? almost every show had scooby music.

[Wyloms]

I hate Scooby they always solve there mysteries at the end with clues that they never seem to pick up or notice but at the end they now how everything happened.

[BourgeoisBuffoon]

I use to watch it OCCASIONALLY. Just as a way to kill time.

Yet....it sucks now. It's become a merchandise empire, yet a CRAPPY one. And it doesn't even have any new eppys untill NOW apparently!

I hated it because it took precendence over everything else on C-Network. It always shoved other shows aside.

All the reasons others said (cruddy animation, voices) also count too. But...that's all I have to say. Before I burn an effigy of Scoob. :D

[The Dork Knight]

Hanna-Barbara's work at MGM (Tom and Jerry) was much better then the other stuff.

I'll watch the new Scooby show if Scooby dies in the end. Anime style that is. ;)

[Zorakfan]

Yeah kids...says some crazy guy's been appearin up in the foothills...wearin-all red...quick as the wind. Everyone who's seen em' either comes back gravely wounded or laughing like a maniac. We just call im' the 'Stampede' round heah.

Rhuh-ro! Ry raint groin!

Like, no way, man! Neither am I!

Would you do it for a scooby snack?

...gimme 5 grams worth.

[ccffan01]

I like Scooby I think its a good show and they obviously think they can make money of it. Thats whats behind it all.

[pencilsharp]

Would you do it for a scooby snack?
...gimme 5 grams worth. Wait a sec... is that why they always had the munchies? Geez, I've been so naive!

Frankly, I think that Velma was the only one worth watching in Scooby:TOS (TOS? :rolleyes: ) You always gotta watch out for the kid in the thick glasses. They're the ones that go mental on you quickest...

And anybody else getting a whiff of Rugratesque diadie-filler from this one?

[The Polisher]

reasons to dislike the first few series (i.e. S.D., Where are You?; S.D. Movies)
1.) Bad Writing
2.) Bad Animation
3.) Cheesy Villains
4.) Horrible teenage stereotypes

[SonGoku V3]

Like many others who already posted, I liked Scooby Doo as a kid. I knew off the bat how cheesy it was(especially the 80s version with the monster doing the Thriller dance), but that's why I liked it actually. IMO, I think that's why alot of people liked it, it was pure innocent cheese. As I got older, I was spoiled with the DBZ-esque action and all of the complex storylines I find in anime and sentai(Taimuuranjaa Brightening Hope!!!), and that left me feeling that Scooby was just.......dull. Just leave poor Scooby alone, I'm pretty sure it's entertaining a whole new generation of little kids the same way it entertained people like me who grew up in the late 80s.:cool:

[Deltamon]

To "entertain" and to "shove down our next genation's throats like a baseball-sized aspirin" are two different things, mi amigo.

As a kid, and even now, I only like two Scooby-based things: A Pup Named Scooby-Doo (it was disturbingly cute and better drawn than its older ancestor) and the movie Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School (I liked the monster girls :p). That and the first two new Scooby movies were decent (I sorta/kinda/liked/digged the catgirls from Zombie Island).

That's all I'll admit to, and all I'll probably ever really like Scooby-based. The only think that I'm really exited about Doo-wise is the Harver Biedman ep with them in it. Zo-friggin'-inks!

Have I ANY faith in the movie or series? Absoolutely not. By an animation standpoint it COULD be competent (at least moreso than its 1950's ancestor), but as a cartoon enthusists (sp), it's a waste of slaggin' time to even bother.

[KJ Styles]

Scooby-Doo is the best cartoon of all time IMO. It's funny, thought provoking, and innovative as it spawned several toons that copied the same formula (a bunch of kids and a animal. car, caveman, etc going around solving mysteries). Scooby and the gang made you laugh, and had you on the edge of your seat trying to figure out who the villians really were, and it still does both to this day.

For the original poster and anybody who agrees with him, If you're sick of Scooby, then don't watch him. It's that simple. But personally, I LOVE Scooby. He's the Muhammad Ali/Michael Jordan of cartoons.

[CartoonCrazy]

Scooby Doo used to be my favorite show as a little kid. Now, I personally don't hate it, but I have to watch it in very small doses, or else I get bored.

[Undrave]

I'm one of those strange people who don't care for any of Hanna-Barbara's old cartoons. I think that most (if not all) of them were poorly drawn and poorly written. Is there something wrong with me, :D.

Me too! We should form a club!

then we could go around solving crime like in those lame Hannah Barberra cartoons :p

[Chiptooth]

I like Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? and A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, but past that my patience starts to wear thin. None of the newer animated movies impress me, and the live-action ones just aren't my cup of tea (then again, I usually don't care for ANY live-action version of a cartoon that played for laughs).

[stephane dumas]

Strangely, I have the impression then I'm the only one who liked the Skooby rip-offs like Clue Club, Captain Caveman and Goober & The Ghost Chasers better then the original :sweat: I once enjoyed Skobby-doo but I think Birdman, Mightor, Top Cat, Hong Kong Phooey desserve to have their place under the sun.

I bet y'all were born in the mid 80's-early 90's.

Today's cartoons are much like today's music. In other words, it SUCKS!!! Not to say that there aren't any good ones out there, but overall they SUCK!

Toons like Scooby-Doo, Tom & Jerry (which was MGM/HB), Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, The Flintstones, Top Cat, The Superfriends, and Josie & The Pussycats SLAUGHTER anything out today. The animation may have improved with time because of technology, but a lot of the writing SUCKS and is unbearable. There's more HB toons that I like, but I'll stop there.

Other than the Boondocks, I don't care for any of CN's current cartoons. The old HB toons knew how to make people laugh and were highly entertaining, while most today are just insipid, gross, and unwatchable.

Say what you will about HB's toons, but they've become legendary because people love them, whereas many (not all, but many) of today's toons will be forgotten long after they run their course.

[TheGunheart]

I can't say I really am, since I've pretty much ignored everything since The Witch's Ghost (which I found very much inferior to Zombie Island). Oddly enough, I find that I still like A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, having seen a few episodes recently.

I didn't watch "What's New", however, because I really hated the look of the animation. While the old H-B series were poster children for poor TV animation, there was something about What's New that really turned me off. Get A Clue I heard about through Wikipedia, was horrified by the designs and premise, and decided to ignore it.

That said, I kinda want to learn more about the new series. It's unlikely after a decade that they'd try anything in the vein of Zombie Island, but for some reason I can't help but feel they might pull something good.

First of all, you spelled SCOOBY wrong!!

Secondly, Goober & The Ghost Chasers SUCKED!!! Noboby remembers that toon, which is why it wasn't shown in syndication for very long whereas Scooby is still being aired 40 years after it's debut.

Mightor, Top Cat, and Hong Kong Phooey weren't Scooby knock offs. Maybe HKP was to an extent, but Penry was anthromorphic and he wasn't teaming with kids so I don't consider it a ripoff. Also, Mightor and TC actually came out before Scooby.

I like some of the knock-offs too, but none of them were quite on Scooby's level IMO.

There is a club, it's called Golden Age Cartoons. Many of the members(me included) like some of the older H-B stuff, but feel by the time Scooby Doo came along H-B had really ran it's course, and that the animation field pretty much sucked up until Who Framed Roger Rabbit came out in 1988.

Scooby Doo doesn't flat out suck, but it is repetitive enough for me not to like it very much, and in fact my favorite show of the whole franchise was A Pup Named Scooby Doo, just because that series did the formula completely different.

I've said it once and I'll say it again. Scooby-Doo is a legendary cartoon for a reason...because most people like myself LOVE IT!! If it weren't a great toon, it wouldn't still be aired 40 years after it's debut, let alone have a new series ready to come out after said fact.

For those who are "sick of Scooby", just don't watch him. It's that simple. Instead, you can sit around watching horrendous shows like Ed, Edd, and Eddy, and that other garbage currently on Cartoon Network.

I don't sit around watching Scooby Doo, and really haven't seen the show in several years, the reason is because you already know what's going to happen. While EEnE has it's own amount of repetitiveness, as well as the fact that I don't watch that show very often either, it still is better than Scooby in my book. The show was fresh and different things happened in each episode, quite unlike Scooby, where the same things occur in every episode, and many of the same lines occur in most episodes.

I guess what I'm trying to say all cartoons are repetitive to a point, including good ones like the WB's, the MGM's and other classics all the way to The Simpsons and South Park. But the difference is that Scooby Doo(as well as most H-B cartoons produced for TV) is overly repetitive, and the writing was not exactly top notch.

I disagree with that 100%. While Scooby usually had the same premise, there was plenty of entertainment to be had with the show.

All I am trying to say is that if you're not a fan, then that's fine. But Scooby is legendary for the same reason why the Looney Tunes, Tom & Jerry, Simpsons, and other toons are legendary. Because people love him. Even non-fans should be able to objectively see why people like him. I just don't see the point in people complaining.

Scooby is celebrating it's 40th anniversary, so he DESERVES the spotlight he's getting. If you ask me, he deserves MORE than what he's getting. I'd say that there's much more original programming on CN than classics anyway. As for Boomerang, it's meant to be a classic toon station anyway (although it isn't completely that way with some of the old CN toons airing on it) so anyone that doesn't like the fact that Scooby's getting the spotlight can simply just turn the channel instead of complaining about it, that's all I'm saying.

Once again, I was pretty much saying that since I don't like Scooby, I don't watch him, and I haven't seen his cartoon in several years. Yes, he's on TV a lot, but when I do find him on, I do change the channel.

And I'm also not saying Scooby isn't legendary, because he is, and I know it. I may not really understand why he's so legendary, but I do know that he is.

I agree with you 100&, Scooby is not only iconic, but a fantastic character and one of the best of all time. I love every episode and I always will.

But you just bumped a thread from 7 years ago :sweat: It may have been from the voting wormhole, the same thing happened to me.

I'm glad FINALLY someone agrees with me!!! Scooby is definitely one of the best of all time. He's personally number one in my opinion.

I didn't bump this thread though, someone else did and I just replied to it. I'm sure it was from the voting wormhole. But it's whatever. Bottom line is that Scooby rules, and I'm glad we see eye to eye on that :D

This thread is seven years old. SEVEN. Who thought it was a good idea to revive not just an old, dated thread, but a negative one as well?

Thread closed. Sometimes I let revived threads stay but there's obviously no good coming out of this.
