From a narrative standpoint, I think it’s better for them to venture outside the formula that we’ve come to associate with the franchise, otherwise it might get boring. Like I stopped watching the direct to DVD Scooby Doo movies because they just felt like bloated episodes of What’s New Scooby Doo. I took the 90s animated movies and Mystery Incorporated as a breath of fresh air.
 
I don’t know who will suffer more, Wesley or Jar-Jar.

Mystery Incorporated was really good. Be Cool Scooby Doo had a repetitive formula but I still kind of liked it, but I don’t think others will feel the same way.

Now tell us what you have in mind for Wesley Crusher.

There are multiple examples in Star Trek of the transporter turning people and animals inside-out but still briefly alive. A good start, but too fast . . .

Yet clearly a lot of secularism has sunk in as well.

I was a big fan of the original Scooby series chase music scenes, though they weren’t as good as the Josie and the Pussycats original series chase scenes.
This song is the one that has managed to stay with me for 40 years.

I tried to watch Josie and the Pussycats once when I was small.

No cats, just a bunch of girls.

I changed the channel.

Things aren’t evil just because they’re secular. You know that, right? Like not everything needs to be explicitly Catholic in order to be worth doing?

Are you not going to let your kids play sports because that’s time they should be spending memorizing the Catechism?

No one is arguing that you should park your kids in front of the tv for hours on end, but letting your kid watch the occasional cartoon (or do some other totally secular activity, like play basketball with his friends) is really not a big deal.

There is nothing in those cartoons that are instrinsically evil. They are also fun to draw.

Maybe a parent could explain what the child is seeing, but I still think that Scooby Doo is safe for kids to watch by themselves.

Even the Vatican says that Harry Potter promotes messages of bravery and friendship. (I cannot find a source).

We are called to be part of the world, yet different. If that makes any sence.

I myself grew up watching classic cartoons and the big one for me was always Scooby-Doo, I liked the mystery solving aspect mixed with my love of classic horror movies, and it had no bearing on my faith growing up whatsoever. I’m not gonna argue with him over how to raise his kid, but I was wondering what’s some of you may think about how he may have jumped to his conclusion.

I’m not sure where your friend is coming from exactly. I can understand being concerned about a show that has monsters like vampires, werewolves, witches, ghosts, and so on, but the monsters are very cartoonish and not very scary, and (spoiler alert for anyone who has never watched Scooby-Doo) they always turn out to be some regular person in a monster suit. I loved Scooby-Doo when I was a kid, and my own kids have watched it and loved it. We have many of the 1960s-70s episodes on DVD (up to but not including the Scrappy-Doo era), as well as DVDs of many of the newer incarnations, including the excellent “What’s New, Scooby-Doo” series, and many of the Scooby-Doo cartoon movies.

Reading this thread reminds me that now that my kids are getting older, we haven’t watched Scooby-Doo in a while. Maybe I’ll pull out one of the DVDs tonight.

I read the article.

The comic I really want to see is Wacky Races
 
🤣

I remember how much I learned from the Really Rottens on how not to behave…I hated those guys!

I cannot say that Scooby Doo was a bad thing as a kid…it didn’t seem to affect me…

However THIS show…


Now these really freaked me out as a kid…Syd and Marty were out there…
