Scooby-related questions have appeared 60 different times on Jeopardy! between 1984 and the present day. You can check out all the different questions on the Hanna-Barbera Wiki. Thanks to James for sharing this link with me and inspiring today's fun fact!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day! The votes from last week's set were pretty spread out, but similarly to the week before, we had two options that were very close. "Howl of the Fright Hound" was poised to win for most of the week, but yesterday, "The Were-Doo of Doo Manor" got the three extra votes it needed to pull in the lead!

Written by DEREK FRIDOLFS Art by RANDY ELLIOTT Cover by DEREK FRIDOLFS $2.99 US | 32 pages ON SALE 6/4/24 A day at the lake for fishing and floating down the lazy river seems like just the getaway Mystery Inc. needs after running from ghosts all week. But their weekend trip is cut short when the tranquil waters are threatened by a multi-headed hydra! After the open beta version of MultiVersus was quietly taken down last year, no official release ever happened. Nearly two years after the launch of the open beta, we finally have some news on the official release. According to Bloody Disgusting, the official release of MultiVersus will finally happen on Tuesday, May 28, 2024. It will be available as a free download on PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox Series and Xbox One, Steam, and the Epics Game Store.
The official version will feature a few tweaks made to the gameplay, including a new Player vs. Environment mode, additional stages featuring reimagined environments, as well as additional environments. Shaggy and Velma will still be playable characters, but there's still no news as to if Scooby will be a character, despite that there was a leak in May 2022 that confirmed his involvement. However, it is possible that they decided to scrap Scooby's character for the gang while the game was taken down. There are three amusing instances in Laff-a-Lympics season 1 of characters accidentally showing up in the audience cheering for themselves, even though they are competing in the event. The first instance happens in "The Sahara Desert and Scotland," which shows the Teen Angels are cheering for themselves in the crowd, despite the fact that they are currently participating in the Fill Up The Oasis Contest. In "India and Israel," Yogi appears in the audience cheering for himself in the Reed Boat Race. Lastly, in "The Grand Canyon and Ireland," Dastardly Dalton is shown cheering for himself during the Catch the Leprechaun Contest (Leprechaun-test? lol).
"Mine Your Own Business" maintained a steady lead throughout the week, but at the last minute, Shaggy's Showdown pulled ahead and took the win!
What is your favorite Scooby episode taking place in the old west? Scooby-Doo! Shaggy's Showdown - 18 Mine Your Own Business (Where Are You) - 14 A Bum Steer for Scooby - 11 Go West Young Scoob - 5 Ghastly Ghost Town - 3 The Movieland Monsters! - 3 The Spooky Fog - 1 Arizona and Holland - 1 Scooby Ghosts West - 1 Low Down Showdown - 1 Night on Haunted Mountain - 1 0 votes: Robot Ranch, Yabba's Rustle Hustle, Mine Your Own Business (Yabba), Runaway Scrappy, Slippery Dan the Escape Man, Vild Vest Vampire, Tumbleweed Derby, Alien Schmalien, Law and Disorder, Up a Crazy River, Tragic Magic, Bride and Gloom, Scooby Dudes In Laff-a-Lympics, there were multiple times where a team received the wrong medal in the awards ceremony. In all three instances of this, the Yogis benefitted from the wrong medal being given out.
In "Acapulco and England," the Yogis and Rottens tied, but the Yogis are the only team that get the silver medal, whereas the Rottens get the bronze medal. Similarly, in "Egypt and Sherwood Forest," the Rottens were shown with the bronze medal despite that they were in second place, and the Yogis received the silver medal even though they were actually in last place. In "New York and Turkey," the Scooby Doobies came in second place but got the bronze medal. The Yogis lost, but were given the silver medal. Matthew Lillard was recently interviewed by Toonado, and dropped an exciting tidbit about an upcoming Scooby project. He didn't provide much details as to what it was, but he noted that it would be a unique project that will "allow kids to put themselves in a Scooby-Doo adventure." Here's his full quote from the interview:
"I’m really excited about [Scooby-Doo]. I can’t really talk about it yet, but there’s a new project I’m associated with that will allow kids to put themselves into a Scooby-Doo adventure," Lillard shared. "That’s super fun. For me, that’s my day job. It’s my bread and butter." You can watch the interview where Matthew Lillard teases this here. The interview covers a number of subjects, both Scooby-related and not, but the project is teased around the 13:00 mark. Alright, let's try this again. We are going to do last week's ghost town poll again with a clearer prompt, since "ghost town" was admittedly rather vague. This time, we're changing the prompt to "favorite Old West episode." This means all of the Yabba-Doo episodes qualify, except for "Go East, Young Pardner" as that episode took place in New York. I was generous with what I included here and tried to pick any episode that people could consider as qualifying for this prompt, even if it could be a bit of a stretch (i.e. "Night on Haunted Mountain"). If I've missed anything, feel free to leave a comment and let me know!
Thanks to Shadowscooby and Mr. Neither for suggesting this week's poll idea! Here are the results for last week's poll: What is your favorite dinosaur episode? Hang in There, Scooby-Doo! - 21 Legend of the Phantosaur - 17 Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed - 6 3-D Struction - 5 Attack of the Weird Al-osaurus! - 4 Scary Christmas - 3 The Dinosaur Deception - 2 Sweet Dreams Scooby - 1 Scooby-Doo and the Sky Town Cool School! - 1 Hey all! I'm excited to announce (and shamelessly plug) the release of the final part of my Hexed fanfic series, which I just published the first chapter of today. Since the last two were from Thorn and Dusk's perspectives, respectively, the third and final fic (titled The Witching Hour) is from the perspective of Luna. Following on from the last two parts, the plot involves The Hex Girls going to a songwriting conference in Nashville at the prestigious Hermitage Hotel. When the girls' room is accidentally double-booked, they have to stay at another hotel, which they soon discover may be haunted by the ghost of a long-dead spirit from the time of the American Revolution. Meanwhile, Luna also has to cope with her performance anxiety when the girls are asked to do a concert at the conference. When Luna's anxiety gets so out of hand that she considers quitting the band, she must make a decision once and for all about which is more powerful - her love of writing music, or her touring anxiety.
The first chapter of this fanfic is now available on AO3, and a new chapter will be published every Friday. This fanfic will be much shorter than most of my other fics to date with only seven chapters, the last of which will be posted on April 19, 2024. (Note that I didn't miscount the number of weeks here; there will be a one-week break midway through publishing) Although those who follow my fanfics know that I typically publish on both AO3 and Fanfiction.net, I've made the decision to exclusively publish this fanfic on AO3. Fanfiction.net has been having some significant glitches recently. It seems to be hit or miss as to whether it saves when I upload a chapter, and I also can't view my messages without getting an error page. Unfortunately, this has been happening since last September, and there seems to be no signs of it being fixed, so I've just decided to not publish there since I can't even get the site to work 75% of the time. I hope you enjoy the final part of this fanfic series if you decide to check it out! |
