Many fans were surprised that Abe Lincoln was credited as the guest star in "A Mystery Solving Gang Divided," rather than The Funky Phantom Crew, who had significantly more presence in the episode than Abe did. Character designer Tracy Mark Lee revealed on his Instagram page that The Funky Phantom Crew were originally supposed to be the main guest stars in the episode, but they were told by WB that Abraham Lincoln needed to get the guest star credit. According to Tracy, this change was made so that the Funky Phantom Crew showing up would be more of a surprise reveal.

I know I’m a little late for this post but I just wanted to say that I like the title card showing Funky Phantom and Boo. It gives me NSDM vibes we’re some of the title cards will show a guest star when it’s a huge group of guest stars. Like, for the Globtrotters it’s just shows Meadowlark. For Jose and the Pussycats, it just shows the Josie, Valerie, and Melody. For Jeannie, they just show Jeannie and Babu.

I like that title card better too! It feels more reminiscent of The New Scooby-Doo Movies to me as well.

I also remember the fun fact you did on Mark Hamill and Steve Buscemi real life backgrounds betrayed in their episodes. I did some research about the other guess who guest stars backgrounds and found out they are portrayed in their episodes. I would like to share them.

Axl Rose: In this episode, there is a lot of archeological stuff. Also, Axl, Shaggy, and Scooby are riding motorcycles. Axl gave Fred a motor sized version of the mystery machine. In real life, Axl Rose has an interest in archaeology and motorcycles.

Thanks so much for sharing all these! This was a really interesting read! The facts I found most surprising were Chris Paul having his own bowling team, Gigi Hadid majoring in criminal psychology and Jason Sudeikis being into shoes in real life! All of this was fun to read though, thanks for writing these up!

You can probably make each of these a fun fact when you get a chance.

It also makes me wonder of Dolly Parton and Mel Brooks if they were to appear in guess who. I wonder what their episode would be about like tailored around their background and history.

It's nice and everything that they wanted it to be a surprise, but it's dumb.

Completely agreed; I'm not quite sure why the WB executives would want it to be a surprise, considering there were a number of Hanna-Barbera characters that they teamed up with that were featured on the title card.
