 Hi everyone!
With all the discussion lately following Curse of the 13th Ghost about what's canon and what's not, SDF and I have been working on a project about what could be considered canon. In our definition, canon means that there are no continuity errors with other things in the Scooby-Doo franchise that would prevent it from being in the main continuity. Anything that is not canon would be discontinuous with another incarnation, or it somehow contradicts another Scooby-Doo episode, special, or film. The following is the canon we came up with. Some non-canon movies fit together nicely with others, such as the LEGO or live action films, and have been placed in a canon together. All incarnations under the "separate canons" category are all in their own, individual canons and do not fit together with anything else in the franchise. Some notes are provided where our placement might be a bit confusing. However, if there's anything you feel should be placed elsewhere, please let us know in the comments and we'll be happy to explain our reasoning as to why we chose to place it there. Main Canon A Pup Named Scooby-Doo Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! The New Scooby-Doo Movies Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? (Batman episode goes in between "What The Hex Going On?" and "Never Ape an Ape Man," due to Velma commenting that she was unaware Daphne had an uncle.) "Bat-Mite Presents: Batman's Strangest Cases!" The Scooby-Doo Show "Bravo Dooby-Doo" Scooby-Doo! and the Monster of Mexico Scooby-Doo! Spooky Games Scooby-Doo! Haunted Holidays Scooby-Doo! and the Spooky Scarecrow Scooby-Doo! Mecha Mutt Menace Scooby-Doo! Ghastly Goals Scooby-Doo! and the Beach Beastie Scooby-Doo! and the Loch Ness Monster Aloha, Scooby-Doo! Scooby-Doo! in Where's My Mummy? Scooby-Doo! Pirates Ahoy! Chill Out, Scooby-Doo! Scooby-Doo! and the Goblin King Scooby-Doo! Abracadabra-Doo Scooby-Doo! Camp Scare Scooby-Doo! Legend of the Phantosaur Scooby-Doo! Music of the Vampire Big Top Scooby-Doo! Scooby-Doo! Mask of the Blue Falcon Scooby-Doo! Stage Fright Scooby-Doo! WrestleMania Mystery Scooby-Doo! Frankencreepy Scooby-Doo!

Shaggy's Showdown Scooby-Doo! and the Gourmet Ghost The Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo Show The Richie Rich / Scooby-Doo Show The Scooby & Scrappy-Doo Puppy Hour Scooby-Doo! in Arabian Nights (Shaggy and Scooby are alone, without Daphne. Other non-Daphne films are placed below because they had a darker feel which went with 13 Ghosts and Zombie Island) The New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo Scooby-Doo Meets the Boo Brothers Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School Scooby-Doo! and the Reluctant Werewolf Monster Party (OK K.O.)

It was said that mystery incorparated takes place right before where are you and curse of the 13th ghost takes place a couple months after the 13 ghosts of scooby doo 3/25/2019 01:00:51 pm
SDF and I decided that there are too many continuity errors (i.e. the rebooting universe at the end of SDMI, the numerous inconsistencies between the original 13 Ghosts show and the film) to include it in the main canon of the franchise.

I am pretty sure samurai sword and what's new would be right before loch ness monster because they all have the what's new scooby doo art 3/30/2019 08:25:53 am
I wish we could do that. Our reasoning for placing WNSD after was in part because of the Hex Girls being in "The Vampire Strikes Back." Witch's Ghost and Legend of the Vampire had to be before WNSD because that's how the gang met the Hex Girls. Additionally, the gang goes to Australia in "Reef Grief," but in Big Top Scooby-Doo, Shaggy comments he had never been to Australia and didn't even know what a kangaroo looked like. Samurai Sword was placed after everything else because real monsters are featured, but Velma doesn't seem overly skeptical (whereas she does in many of the other DTVs).

Personally I believe Scoobynatural to be part of Scooby-Doo canon, and to finally solve the biggest question in Scooby history: Should real monsters exist? 5/2/2019 08:13:44 am
This is a really interesting idea, Timothy! Thanks for sharing!

I think Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? are in the main canon. 9/20/2019 10:55:02 am
Agreed, I don't think we had updated it yet but I will ask SDF to make sure he agrees. Thanks!
