The Scooby-Doo Show episode "A Menace in Venice" has many elements based upon the famous Shakespeare play, "The Merchant of Venice." The main character of "The Merchant of Venice" is named Antonio, there is a character called Salarino (close to Professor Salari's name), and Antonio's pizza parlor is called "Merchant Venice Pizza." Doge Malvolio is also named after a character (Malvolio) in another Shakespeare play, "Twelfth Night."
I'm back from Italy this Wednesday night, so this ends the five-week sequence of Italy-themed fun facts. Hope you all have enjoyed them!

Wow, that sounds horrible! Can you give me more details as to which episodes are listed twice and/or incorrectly titled?

Wait I'm confused...you're talking about typos on the original season 3 DVD, not the new Complete Series one, right?

Ohhh I understand now. Sorry, I just got back from a month-long trip to Italy so I'm a bit jetlagged and not tracking stuff very well at the moment lol.

You're 100% right. I've read back both of my long comments and they're extremely confusing to figure out unless you're me who actually lived it Lol. Leave a Reply. |
