In the "golden era" of Scooby, 1969-1985, Hanna-Barbera would often take villain designs and recycle them for use in later episodes, using the exact same design (in some cases with different coloring). How many Scooby-Doo villain designs between 1969-1985 were recycled and used in more than one episode?
Hints:
I hope I covered all my bases this time, but if not, please feel free to ask any questions you may have for clarification! As for yesterday's question...everyone was wrong! I found a Variety article dating back to 2013 announcing the reboot. I came up with this question after reading ScoobyAddict's awesome SCOOB! timeline which mentions this article. I don't need to update the scoreboard, but I'll share it here again. Drakosleuth: 5 Peralaan: 5 IkeDaKil: 4 The Cop: 4 Samuel Kirkwood: 3 Becker: 3 SDF: 2 Justin Ordozzi: 2 Dzsasztin: 2 Ashton: 1 Bradford: 1 Emmi Kat: 1 Scoob16: 1 ThreeDaysRey: 1 So Drakosleuth and Peralaan are still tied. To make things a little interesting, I'm going to add on an extra added bonus for this last question. Whoever is the first to give the correct answer to the question will receive a bonus point, in addition to the point for getting it right. I'm hoping this will prevent a tie, but we will see! Good luck everyone!

 The movie only came out and hour and half ago and I'm already posting a review...you better believe I was refreshing that page over and over at 11:59pm EST until midnight. In fact, I'm still listening to "On Me" by Thomas Rhett, Kane Brown & Ava Max over the end credits as I type this lol.
This was an awesome movie! I thought the plot was amazing, as was the acting. I really didn't mind any of the new actors. All four of the main cast did a great job, and I thought Amanda Seyfried as Daphne was the standout actor for me. I loved Ken Jeong especially as Dynomutt and thought he was excellent in playing a more serious version of the classic character. Everyone else did a great job I thought as well, but Jeong and Seyfried really stuck out to me as doing a great job. The kids also all did a great job, especially Daphne and Shaggy's. I'll admit, I was actually familiar with Iain Armitage, who played young Shaggy, as he's the main character in another show I love, Young Sheldon, which has referenced Scooby three times in its three seasons and I've written fun facts about it before! In terms of the characterization, I thought everyone was spot on. No one seemed out of character, and the few supporting characters that had their characters changed all seemed reasonably so. I liked that Blue Falcon wasn't the original Blue Falcon, but rather his son Brian. It was a cool touch and I didn't mind the change-up there. I also really liked how Dynomutt was much more serious as a character. Despite his goofiness back in the 70s, this version of Dynomutt really worked for me. Regarding Captain Caveman, I was expecting him to be a much bigger part of the movie. He was in such a brief part of it, which I didn't think was bad, just more unexpected than anything. I honestly thought the other two Teen Angels were going be in the film too besides just Dee Dee! This must take place before that though, since Captain Caveman didn't seem to know her. Dee Dee was a really nice character as well, and I greatly enjoyed her presence as a strong feminine leader. I really liked Dick Dastardly as a villain. Jason Isaacs did an amazing job taking on the role, and Dick seemed like he was exactly like he was in Laff-a-Lympics (as Dread Baron...never watched Wacky Races personally). I absolutely adored the plotline of Muttley being lost in the underworld...it made me actually feel a little bit for Dick...until the end at least lol. In terms of villains, Cerberus had an amazing design. He was a super cool villain and I almost wish he would have been just a little more prominent in the film! The comedy was top notch and Scooby was super funny and witty. I especially enjoyed the IKEA joke and him randomly asking if Muttley was chipped haha. And speaking of comedy, Simon Cowell was certainly an interesting addition to the film lol. It was interesting how he wanted to invest in Mystery Inc. as a business and how he was repeatedly brought up throughout the film. It seemed like they almost combined the three groups of prior live action film series for this film...Shaggy and Scooby wanting to prove they're not screw-ups like in the first two, the origin story like the two prequels, plus all the robots and technology of Daphne & Velma. It was also really neat how they had all the other Hanna-Barbera characters like Jabberjaw, Magilla Gorilla and Atom Ant (was that the third one?) become part of the Falcon Fury during the credits. I felt the plot was just top-notch and I love how it sort of felt like a mystery but a bigger, more expanded one that didn't necessarily have to do with a ghost/monster until the end, but still had the unmasking and all the clues. Such an aspirational plot definitely made for a great Scooby movie! I didn't mind that the mystery wasn't centered around a monster, and Dick Dastardly and his robots, as well as the looming threat of Cerberus, made good villains. With references galore and such a tearjerking plot (especially that ending! I almost cried lol), this is an amazing film that I would definitely recommend as a must-watch for any Scooby fan. Oh, and I've gotta say I liked that Blue Falcon's intro song was DJ Khaled lol. Well, I guess that's it for this review until another one comes out. (Extra points to anyone who gets the terrible pun I just made)  What specific month and year did the very first news about SCOOB! being in development come out?
The answer to yesterday's question was 13! Ghost of Captain Cutler (A Clue for Scooby-Doo) Ghost of Redbeard (Go Away Ghost Ship) Ghosts of Captain Moody (Guess Who's Knott Coming to Dinner?) Redbeard's Ghost again (The Ghostly Creep from the Deep) The Ghost of Captain Scavenger (The Haunted Showboat) The Ghost of Captain Pescado (Scooby-Doo, Where's the Crew?) Captain Clemens (The Creepy Heap from the Deep) Captain Ferguson's Ghost (Ship of Ghouls) Ghost of Boobeard the Pirate (Ghost Who's Coming to Dinner?) Ghost of Half-Beard the Pirate (Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!) Captain Skunkbeard (Scooby-Doo! Pirates Ahoy) Captain Gnarlybeard (Scooby-Doo Adventures: The Mystery Map) Ghost of Captain Rudimore Bash (LEGO Scooby-Doo! Blowout Beach Bash) Let's update our scoreboard: Drakosleuth: 5 Peralaan: 5 IkeDaKil: 4 The Cop: 4 Samuel Kirkwood: 3 Becker: 3 SDF: 2 Justin Ordozzi: 2 Dzsasztin: 2 Ashton: 1 Bradford: 1 Emmi Kat: 1 Scoob16: 1 ThreeDaysRey: 1  Happy SCOOB! Day everyone! As promised, here are the final results for this week's polls, from both Twitter and the blog. Unsurprisingly, all the actors from the first two films were the winners.
Daphne: Sarah Michelle Gellar: 71 Kate Melton: 13 Sarah Jeffery: 5 Velma: Linda Cardellini: 79 Hayley Kiyoko: 13 Sarah Gilman: 9 Fred: Freddie Prinze Jr.: 101 Robbie Amell: 22 Shaggy: Matthew Lillard: 104 Nick Palatas: 15 I would say all my favorites were picked, with the exception of Daphne, who I honestly think Sarah Jeffery did the best job being the down-to-Earth, fashionable Daphne we know and love. I know that's an unpopular opinion, but I stand by it lol. I hope you all have a wonderful SCOOB! Day! :)  How many ghost captains appear as a main or supporting villain in the Scooby-Doo franchise? (So this question is actually answerable, brief appearances or references do not count) Feel free to ask any questions if you need clarification on if something counts or not!
The answer to yesterday's question was 2:27 next Tuesday. Let's update the scoreboard!

 I will reveal the results on Friday to this poll and the previous 3! No new poll tomorrow, but in the meantime, be sure to vote in any of those polls that you haven't yet and check back for a new trivia question tomorrow.
 In all honesty, I thought this episode was very middle-of-the-road. I loved the setting and the monster, but Neil and especially Bill's performances seemed very phoned in and it didn't seem like they were into it. The episode wasn't bad, it was just sort of "meh" and not anything noteworthy or memorable in the slightest. I did think it was cool that the background of that area where they tried to trap the Tardigrade was in the same style as the opening background for The New Scooby-Doo Movies intro.
One sort of general note I also had was that I feel like "The High School Wolfman's Musical Lament" may have been intended as the season finale, because it seems much more like one than this did. I guess they mentioned Bill and Neil knowing Urkel though, which I thought was funny. Also, notice that this episode is the second to not have an exclamation mark in the title. I know this was a pretty short review, but this was just really a very unmemorable episode! One last time, let's update the episode rankings for the end of the season! Star-Studded Scoreboard: 1. I Put a Hex on You! 2. The Sword, The Fox and the Scooby-Doo! 3. One Minute Mysteries! 4. Dance Matron of Mayhem! 5. Elementary, My Dear Shaggy! 6. Too Many Dummies! 7. When Urkel-Bots Go Bad! 8.

Week, Space Station Scooby coming out yesterday, and now we also have a track list for the SCOOB! soundtrack! Here's the tracklist from Atlantic Records, which has quite a few obscure artists that I don't recognize: 1. Lennon Stella Feat. Charlie Puth – Summer Feelings 2. Thomas Rhett and Kane Brown Feat. Ava Max – On Me 3. Jack Harlow – Yikes 4. Sage The Gemini Feat. BygTwo3 – Tick Tick Boom 5. Galantis Feat. Faouzia – I Fly 6. Pink Sweat$ - I Like It 7. Rico Nasty – My Little Alien 8. Rare Americans – Back Up Plan 9. R3hab Feat. A R I Z O N A – Feel Alive 10. Plested – 25 Hours 11. Token - Homies 12. East Coast - Scooby-Doo In addition, we've also got tons of behind-the-scenes content which just dropped last night.  What was the name of the movie the gang is sucked into in "That's Monstertainment!" by Zomba? The correct answer to the last question about the first instance of a real skeleton was "Don't Fool with a Phantom!" I would argue that the skull in "Hassle in the Castle" wasn't real...but admittedly, I forgot about it and didn't specify that in my question, so I don't want to penalize y'all for technically answering the question right with how I worded it. Anyone who answered the skull in "Hassle in the Castle" also gets a point. Here's our leaderboard right now, and note that this also includes anyone who directly replied to my post on Twitter linking to this question.
