The Doo

You know where they went wrong on Scooby Doo? I know that from the three readers out there there is at least one cry of "Scrappy!" going up now, perhaps a small peep of a cry, but I have forgiveness in my heart for the transgression of Scrappy.

I'll forgive the terrible Three Stooges crossovers and Scooby Dumb. I'll even go so far as to allow the change in Shaggy's shirt from green to red. Where they really went wrong was when they started making the monsters real.

In the good old days these stupid-ass teenagers and their dog and perhaps a 'celebrity' of the episode would eventually discover that the monster was just a mean old man or woman in a rubber suit.

There is no way that these kids would really thwart something like an alien invasion, or stop a vampire, even if those aliens or vampires are of the stupidest and most cartoony variety. They have as much chance of that as anyone on the A-Team has a chance of actually shooting someone.

Ain't gonna happen bubba.

That's where the problem lies.

Man in suit is the way to go.

Man in suit.
