Scooby-Doo Official Chronological Viewing Order

4/27/2017

There's no bigger mystery in the Scooby franchise than the mystery of the correct continuity of the show. Fans, especially ones new to the franchise, have immense trouble trying to figure out the true chronological and continuity-following order to watch the episodes in.

This is where the timeline comes in. @MrKindNerd (formerly @DallasLKinard), an avid Scooby fan, has spent over a year carefully plotting out each point in the series' and finding a chronological order for the entire franchise, so that fans, both new and old, can actually watch the series as you would normally watch it: in chronological order, ranging from when the gang is little in "A Pup Named Scooby-Doo" to when they became adults in some of the later series.

Recently, @MrKindNerd emailed me the timeline he had spent an immense amount of time and effort on, making sure it was perfect and chronologically correct, and quite honestly I was very impressed! The timeline is perfect for the many fans who seek to actually watch the series in the continuity order, and offers many theories to finally solve many of the problems and discontinuities the Scooby franchise unfortunately suffers from.

I've done a tiny bit of work as well on the timeline, but most of the credit goes to @MrKindNerd for creating this fantastic timeline!

Reader's note: This timeline is always subject to change, due to new material coming out and as new information may present itself. It's our goal to be as objective and logically accurate as possible with this viewing order.

Don't see how SDMi can be first.

WildwindVampire link

4/30/2017 12:00:11 pm

I'm not sure if I 100% agree with the placement either, but we ended up compromising that SDMI ended in an alternate timeline that sort of led into Where Are You (plus in both series they were in high school) and placed SDMI first.

Grumpydrawer

5/4/2017 06:16:49 pm

Well its a tad odd since SDMI has technology in it which didn't exist before the vast majority of Scooby episodes...still nice work on the timeline regardless. Roughly the same as how I had it in my mind.

WildwindVampire link

4/23/2022 11:33:56 am

I just noticed that I never responded to this critique. Suppose 5 years late is better than never lol. That's a fair point about the technology - I suppose, for the sake of canon, you could argue that the technology regressed when the timeline changed at the end of the series. I don't think there's any way we're going to get it perfect, since there are so many moving pieces and different aspects that could take something out of continuity, but ultimately I think SDMI best fits at the beginning, since the timeline resets into Where Are You.

Niel

11/28/2019 10:28:07 pm

I would say the curse of the 13th ghost would come after zombie island. Everyone is back together in zombie island but not in ghoul school, boo brothers, and reluctant werewolf. Also curse of 13th ghost and return to zombie island seem to take place right after each other.

Tom Holste

11/29/2019 09:59:51 am

Agreed, Niel. I think that, the last time updates were made, it seemed most likely that the direct sequels would happen immediately after the productions that spawned them (or at least, with nothing in between).

From what I hear, though (I haven't seen the movies yet; they've gotten a lot of negative buzz from fans), the gang sells the Mystery Machine at the beginning of "13th Ghost," and doesn't get it back until "Return to Zombie Island." That's the first time there's been such a direct connection between two movies, as far as I can tell (not counting the occasional recurring characters).

WildwindVampire link

12/2/2019 01:45:23 pm

Thanks for the comment Niel! Dallas and I talked about this over the weekend, and it sounds like we were thinking it would make most since to have them placed after Cyber Chase.

WildwindVampire link

12/2/2019 01:51:08 pm

@Tom Holste We were thinking it made more since in this case, due to the obvious drastic change in tone, that it would make more since to put both films after Cyber Chase. I've changed this on the timeline now. It's also probably worth noting that Dallas has not seen either film yet, so these are purely my opinions that Dallas has agreed with until he gets the chance to watch them.

In terms of the two films, they do not get the Mystery Machine back in Return to Zombie Island, though it's talked about in the film how they sold it in the previous one, and also, the sheriff is the same in both films. Return to Zombie Island follows on from 13th Ghost in the sense that the sheriff reminds them what he said in the previous film about not solving mysteries.

Tom Holste

12/3/2019 08:57:27 am

Thanks, WW! I agree; putting those films after the 4 movies from the original "Zombie Island" to "Cyber Chase" makes a lot of sense. Those four films clearly feel connected for obvious reasons.

Thanks for clarifying that the gang doesn't have the Mystery Machine yet. Sorry, I probably shouldn't have spoken since I hadn't seen them; I had just kind of picked up bits and pieces from online sources like this blog, but got some of the details wrong. :)

WildwindVampire link

12/3/2019 11:38:17 am

No worries! I'm not sure if we will get an explanation for the Mystery Machine being back at some point in the DTVs, or if that hanging plot thread will just be dropped and we'll have the Mystery Machine back without any explanation.

Tom Holste

12/24/2019 09:37:26 am

Oops--took a while to reply this time!

Since the missing Mystery Machine has been brought up more than once, I would wager that there likely will be a resolution for it at some point...although I fear the story will continue through more feature-length retcons of earlier projects.

In case I don't talk to you sooner, have a great Christmas and New Year's! :)

WildwindVampire link

12/24/2019 09:56:12 am

I hope it doesn't continue through more "sequels" to previous Scooby works. "Scooby-Doo in King Arthur's Court" is the next DTV, which isn't a sequel to anything, so I'm hoping they'll tie up the plot thread by then without having to make any more sequels.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too!!!

VelmasLongLostTwin

12/27/2019 11:44:43 pm

Agreed. Some of the placements aren’t correct. In Mystery Incorporated mentions that the series excluding Fred and Velma were in a previous year in high school.

WildwindVampire link

12/28/2019 11:28:54 am

I would need to look again, but I believe Dallas's explanation for placing it there was because the entire timeline rebooted at the end of the series, and thus Fred and Velma being gone were just more manipulations of the universe by the Evil Entity. In the series where Fred and Velma are gone, the explanation in "Happy Birthday, Scooby-Doo" from The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries is that Fred is a mystery writer and Velma works for NASA. This would contradict what SDMI says, so it makes more sense to just say it was part of the Entity's manipulations in the alternate universe.

Tom Holste

12/28/2019 12:01:16 pm

Poor Whirlwind and Dallas. I think you've made a very good case for SDMI's placement, but it seems like you'll have to keep defending that choice for the rest of your lives! :)

Im new to Scooby Doo. Ive seen all of Wher e Are You, and season 3 of the scooby doo show. I was wondering if a chronological order existed, so I was really happy when I saw this. I haven't seen anything with the Hex Girls but I know they appear in SDMI after appearing on 2 movies and Whats New. When watching in this order does SDMI work as taking the spot of their first appearance?

WildwindVampire link

5/7/2017 01:26:19 pm

Actually since it's treated in the first SDMI ep where they appear as if the gang doesn't know them, it would work. And welcome to the Scooby fandom! :)

WildwindVampire link

12/18/2018 09:44:15 am

"Scoobynatural" has now been added under "A Night of Fright is No Delight" from Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?. Since Sam, Dean, and Castiel are zapped into that episode and their presence alters the timeline of the episode, it makes sense chronologically to have it right after the original episode, as sort of an "alternate version."

Michael

7/5/2019 04:43:44 am

Can you try and add the live action movies into this because Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins is the story of how all the gang met and then Scooby-Doo! The Lake Monster is about the lake Monster Scooby-Doo 1 takes place right after the Luna Ghost and then there is the Monsters Unleashed and then there is a new Daphne & Velma duo movie and I wanna binge this all the way through so if you can add live action I’d appreciate it

Tom Holste

7/5/2019 05:21:44 pm

Responding to Michael below (for some reason, I don't see a "Reply" button next to his post):

Hi, Michael! Dallas answered this question elsewhere on this thread: "I count each of those to be separate/parallel timelines/universes to the main animated canon, so they are not going to be included on here."

Sorry, but to be honest, I can see why. The live-action movies have several continuities that don't sync up with each other, let alone with the animated canon. If you're going to do it, I guess this would be best, but be prepared for a lot of inconsistencies:

Daphne & Velma (in a timeline where they meet each other before meeting the rest of the gang)
The Mystery Begins (in a timeline where they all meet at once)
Curse of the Lake Monster (direct sequel to Mystery Begins)
Scooby-Doo (2002 theatrical movie, where Mystery Inc. breaks up for a while before the gang comes back together)
SB 2: Monsters Unleashed

Anyway, that's the best possible versions, I guess, but remember it's going to have continuity hiccups. Hope this helps!

this means that in the scooby do universe its just a show so the timeline dosnt even matter all you had to do was put them in relese order and use scooby-natural to back it up but still is nice that you worked so hard on this timeline and also be cool scooby doo takes place when they get out of high school and in scooby doo zombie island daphine is a reporter and has her own show

WildwindVampire link

3/17/2020 04:33:02 pm

Sorry that you don't agree with the timeline order, Nate. Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! does not take place after high school. This was an early draft of the show that was scrapped (this was confirmed by the head writer), though some media outlets did not change this.

Return to Zombie Island claims that Daphne's reporting job was just a school project internship, so there's conflicting info there. This is ultimately why we decided to place it in the reboot category.

Tom Holste

10/20/2020 08:25:19 am

Jaguaro, as the mods have said multiple times in this thread, the idea behind putting "Mystery Incorporated" before "Where are You" is that the timeline gets reset at the end of the show, meaning that the gang met Charlie the Robot a second time in the revised timeline.

You don't have to agree, but that's the choice they made. It's ultimately their timeline, and if we don't like it, we're free to make our own. (I use this list as a constant reference point, but have slightly amended it in my own Google Sheet version.)

There will always be contradictions in a show with so many different versions. I would say that the gang seems pretty independent in "Where are You," suggesting that they're out of high school, whereas they're clearly still students living with their parents in "Mystery Incorporated." I tend to want to put "Where are You" before MI anyway, but there are always arguments on either side.

We're welcome to make suggestions, and the mods sometimes take them, but they're under no obligation to if they like the call they originally made. So let's just enjoy the timeline and have a fun discussion and not worry about it all too much. :)

WildwindVampire link

10/20/2020 04:29:17 pm

Thanks so much, Tom. I absolutely agree with everything you said here. I think Dallas is the one more dedicated to having SDMI first, as I honestly feel like it could go either way. I'm more than happy to take any suggestions anyone may have, but I hope no one ever feels bad if we don't necessarily take every single suggestion we get. The Scooby timeline is a hard one to decipher and admittedly, as demonstrated with SDMI, even Dallas and I have minor disagreements about where things are! It's all just a fun discussion though, so there's no need for anyone to get worked up.

Arben

9/29/2018 01:17:31 pm

Hi! I just found your blog and I love it. I never did watched all of the Sooby Doo series but I want to. I am so confused though. Is SDMi before Scooby Doo Where are You? I thought the order of watching is the order of when they were released :D I guess not.

WildwindVampire link

9/29/2018 06:53:26 pm

Welcome to the blog, Arben! I'm so glad you liked it! In hindsight, I probably should have fought harder for Where Are You to be before SDMI, as I think it's a bit confusing too (and others do as well as you can see by a couple of the above comments). That was a decision by the person I co-created this with, Dallas.

In his defense however, there isn't any chronological issues that would prevent you from watching SDMI before Where Are You, but it also would work in reverse. Dallas's explanation if I remember right was that SDMI started a new timeline (I won't go into details in case you haven't seen it, because spoilers!) which was Where Are You.

It's more than logical to watch them in the order they were released. The point of the timeline was more to try to chronologize the series into an order which had the least continuity errors, as there have been some in the almost 50 years Scooby has been running now. There's nothing wrong with watching them in the release order, this was just a way to create a working chronology of the franchise.

Again, welcome and I hope this explanation makes sense! :)

Tom Holste link

12/15/2018 08:08:25 pm

Hi there! I just came across this, and it's a lot of fun. You obviously put a lot of hard work into it, which is appreciated!

I do have to disagree with the placement of "Mystery Incorporated," though (which is a show I love). It includes references to many characters from classic episodes, such as Charlie the Robot (from "Where are You") in "Wrath of the Krampus" or Flim-Flam (from "13 Ghosts"), so it couldn't be set before that.

Furthermore, "13 Ghosts" is one of the "monsters are real" shows, and "Mystery Incorporated" stays true to the original series' notion that the monsters are always just people in costumes. When Vincent van Ghoul shows up, he's just an actor on a local TV show. So I think it has to be considered a separate continuity from everything else.

Nonetheless, I only offer that suggestion if it's constructive. I still found your list overall terrific, and I appreciate the time and effort that went into this! If you want to ignore my comments, go right ahead. I'm just trying to share in the fun. :)

WildwindVampire link

12/16/2018 11:40:04 am

Hi Tom, no worries and your suggestion was definitely constructive!

This was a joint project, so I can't take all the credit for this...my good friend Dallas Kinard was a huge part of creating this timeline. That being said, I can't say I necessarily 100% agree with every placement either, SDMI being the obvious one. Since it was a joint project, we definitely had to make some compromises and Dallas and I didn't necessarily agree on everything.

Dallas's argument for SDMI being first was based upon the fact that the end of SDMI marks a new timeline, which he argued led into Where Are You. Some of the events of the previous Evil Entity's timeline, such as the references you brought up, were repeated but occurred in a different way because they weren't manipulated by the Entity.

I sort of like Dallas's explanation, but I agree with the majority of all the comments (including yours) on here. It's a big assumption to make and it's not necessarily confirmed in SDMI, but in the end I did agree to disagree with Dallas that SDMI could be placed first, with the explanation that the timeline restarted again.

I really appreciate your suggestion as well and welcome to the site, Tom!

Tom Holste

12/29/2018 09:20:51 pm

Hi, Wildwind! Thank you for your kind and thoughtful reply!

I do see what Dallas was going for a bit better now. In particular, SDMI reminds us frequently that the gang is still in high school at this point. None of the other series make any specific note of their ages, other than that they're obviously still young but fairly independent.

I worked on my own version of the timeline, and there's just no way to make everything flow smoothly. For instance, I consider any instance of "real monsters" to be at odds with the original premise. I don't discount them altogether, but I put them into a separate timeline. And since "Zombie Island" makes a big deal about this being the first time that the gang has encountered real monsters, I set it chronologically before any of the "Scrappy" spinoffs with real monsters--even though that probably creates contradictions in fashion and technology.

Then you've got "Legend of the Vampire" and "Monster of Mexico," which both feature the "Where are You" voice cast, and which sound and look much more like that era, so I slotted them immediately after "Where are You." But I believe "Vampire" features the Hex Girls band, who the gang was introduced to in one of the "real monster" movies! So there's no perfect solution.

I ended up slotting SDMI after the first season of "Scrappy," which still had the monsters turning out to be people in disguise, but allowed the characters to know who Scrappy was. But "13 Ghosts" doesn't even exist in that timeline for me, since Vincent van Ghoul is so different, yet Flim Flam is mentioned and ... uh. I must admit my placement of it is pretty arbitrary.

Anyway, what I'm saying is that I had a lot of fun reading your list, and attempting it on my own just showed how challenging it truly was. Thanks again for giving us something to talk about!

WildwindVampire link

12/30/2018 08:20:32 pm

Hey Tom, of course!

It's very true that most of the series don't make note of their ages. In Where Are You, it is mentioned they are in high school. In the Tim Conway episode of The New Scooby-Doo Movies, it is said that the gang graduated from high school, and also that Velma graduated from a different high school from the rest of the gang. The New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show explicitly states in "The Crazy Carnival Caper" that Shaggy and Daphne have both graduated from high school. In What's New Scooby-Doo, I feel like they travel too much to be in high school. Unless of course it's summer, but that brings up the question of how the heck they got all that money haha.

Yeah, unfortunately. There are just too many contradictions to make everything fit neatly. I do like your method of organizing the placing of the series by the gang's exposure to real monsters.

Technology and fashion make things very tough. I've dabbled a bit in writing Scooby fanfiction, more specifically set in the Zombie Island era of the franchise, and it's really challenging to try to avoid all the technology and fashion contradictions. I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to add in a detail or make a joke, and then realized I couldn't do it because it creates a contradiction with the continuity of the era.

You're very welcome and I'm so glad you enjoyed the list!

Tom Holste

1/8/2019 03:39:54 pm

Wow, good calls! I forgot or missed a lot of those references to their schooling.

It doesn't bother me too much that the continuity doesn't fully match up. For the people making these cartoons, the mentality is much more like Looney Tunes, where all that matters is what's funny and entertaining. There are multiple contradictory tellings of the first time that Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd met, for instance, and many of those were even by the original creators.

Different bits of their history are used or ignored like an artist choosing different colors on a palette. And that's fine.

Of course, it's still fun to *try* to make it all fit. :D

Thanks again for this fascinating discussion!

Glad to hear! I have to sit down and power through a bunch of episodes and take notes so it'll be a bit, but it'll get done eventually! Keep checking back!

Out of curiosity, where would you place the LEGO films and live-action movies?

WildwindVampire link

6/9/2019 09:43:29 am

Not sure who this was directed at but I'll let Dallas answer this one, as he was the one who originally suggested the live-action and LEGO films should be canonical.

Dallas Kinard

6/10/2019 08:08:20 am

I count each of those to be separate/parallel timelines/universes to the main animated canon, so they are not going to be included on here.

i've liked Scooby Doo my whole life, it was the only cartoon I would watch really also the only show. every once and a while I go through and rewatch all of them to experience awesome memories, except I stopped watching after what's new Scooby Doo. I just dont like them after what's new Scooby Doo, to be honest I dont like what's new Scooby Doo that much either. but Scooby is great

Hello all! I'm finally getting back into updating this. It's SUPER out-dated and needs a ton of work, but I'm on it! If anyone knows where I can find out the production order for each series, that'd be very helpful! For anyone wanting to help or follow along with my progress on this project, here is the link to the master doc. Feel free to check in on it every so often for updates! When figuring out all of these things, I plan on doing an episode by episode analysis to look out for clues like weather, calendars, on-screen-dates, character ages, etc. Basically any notes I can take that will help to place each chapter of the franchise. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone!

Hi, Dallas! Thanks for the intensive, detailed work on this! I really appreciated your footnotes explaining the thinking behind certain placements.

I do have a question: Why does "Arabian Nights" show up where it does in the list, after "Pup" and before "Mystery Incorporated"? There's no explanation next to that one. (Admittedly, I haven't seen it. Are Scooby and Shaggy younger than usual?)

Also, you noted that the gang went their separate ways as of "13 Ghosts," but in fact, as of the second season of the "Scrappy-Doo" show (aka the "Richie Rich" season, 1980-81), everyone was gone except for Scooby, Shaggy and Scrappy. They also almost immediately start running into real monsters.

I recently re-watched the three segments of the first episode aired. "Close Encounter with a Strange Kind" takes a rare plunge into sci-fi. The aliens are real, although it's questionable whether they count as monsters.

In "A Fit Night Out for Bats," the trio encounters a real vampire for the first time, although interestingly, the characters never react to this as though it's strange or unusual. They're just as scared as they ordinarily would be, but there's no comments about how the vampire can't be unmasked.

Then, perhaps most surprisingly, in the final segment "The Chinese Food Factory," the trio is back to unmasking the monsters and proving them to be fake.

Mind you, in production order, "Scooby Ghost West" might be the first encounter with a real ghost or monster, but I haven't seen that one yet to verify.

Also making things challenging is that, in the "New Scooby-Doo Mysteries" episode "A Halloween Hassle at Dracula's Castle," Fred and Velma team up with the already-returned Daphne and the usual trio of Scooby, Shaggy & Scrappy. While there *is* a mystery and an unmasking, most of the monsters they encounter are real, and the gang acknowledges how freaky that is--as they run for their lives!

So how to reconcile that with later offerings? My best guess at this point is that, with all the other weird things that go on in this universe, there must be a secret government Men in Black/X-Files type organization, and at some point off-camera, they wiped the gang's memory...on more than one occasion! But that's just my theory. :)

Also, I'm curious as to why "Be Cool, Scooby-Doo" is considered a full reboot, when the others are considered part of the same canon despite their discrepancies?

Anyway, just throwing these ideas and questions out there for discussion. I'll be fine with whatever you ultimately do, because, hey, this is just a list for fun anyway! :) Thanks again for all the hard work you're putting into this!

Dallas Kinard

7/8/2019 09:38:18 pm

Hello! Thanks for the comment!

Arabian Nights placement is based on the youthful appearances of Shaggy and Scooby.

To be honest, I have a LOT of homework to do regarding this. This timeline is really just a rough "first draft" if you will and I'm sure it's full of discrepancies that will get worked out as I get more time to devote to this.

Thank you so much for your comments! Keep them coming! If you have any interest in helping with this project, please let me know and I'll find something for you to research! haha thanks! - DK

Hi, Dallas!

Thanks for the clarification on "Arabian Nights." I hadn't seen that one, so I wasn't sure. Now it's my head canon that "Arabian Nights" was a school production that Scooby and Shaggy were in. ;)

Thank you again for all your hard work! I look forward to future updates. :D

This is an interesting debate, even if just for the fun of it. To be honest, I haven't watched enough Scooby-Doo in my lifetime to have an informed opinion. But, I found this while preparing for a watchthrough on where to begin. I'm a chronological person, too. I've seen various incarnations/episodes over the years, but have never actually watched any of the except for Mystery Inc all the way through. I'll watch them in this order and see if there's any glaring inconsistencies. Thanks for all the hard work. I can't imagine how long it took to put this together.

Sorry, I just realised it was actually part of the Scooby-Doo Show. My iTunes version says that it is part of Scooby-Doo: Where Are You?

Any idea where ‘Scooby Doo and Guess Who?’ would be placed?

WildwindVampire link

12/24/2019 10:23:52 am

Thank you so much for pointing this out! I had thought we had added this to the timeline, but apparently I had forgotten to transfer Guess Who over from our master doc. We placed it right after The New Scooby-Doo Movies, except for the Batman episode, which says the gang did not know Daphne had an uncle. Because of this, we placed it right before the first time we met an uncle of Daphne's, which was Uncle Maxwell in "Never Ape an Ape Man." So it's between that and "What the Hex is Going On?"

We're not sure until it comes out!

Nate

3/14/2020 02:14:27 pm

hello i belive that scooby doo spooky island, and monsters Unleashed are canon in this universe becuase in SDMI fred said to Dalphine we promised not to speak about him and it was a statue of scrappy Doo and in spooky island scrappy was the villian and why else would he be in there i did not see a scooby statue

WildwindVampire link

3/17/2020 04:20:45 pm

This was more Dallas's decision than mine, but I think we left it because there were too many things that were off-canon, even though there were a few on-canon things.

Nate

3/14/2020 04:44:53 pm

i think that the orginal show came before SDMI and then after we got all the other shows like whats new and also maybe if what i said earlier about scappy and spooky island being canaon maybe they gave scrappy another chance and wwe got the new scooby doo and scrappy show and others with him in it

WildwindVampire link

3/17/2020 04:22:08 pm

That's certainly possible, though I think arguments could be made either way. We thought if SDMI reset the entire timeline, it made more sense just to put it at the beginning and have the last episode be the "start" of the official Scooby-Doo timeline.

Nate

3/14/2020 04:57:10 pm

i think be cool is not a reboot i have not seen it but i heard it has villian from the original show but that might just be becuase the timeline was reset

WildwindVampire link

3/17/2020 04:23:07 pm

We said Be Cool was a reboot because it does have monsters from the original show, and also certain details are completely inconsistent with all other shows such as Daphne's birthday being on Christmas, how Scooby tried Scooby Snacks, etc.

Nate

Aren't there three seasons in the Where Are You series?

WildwindVampire link

4/4/2020 05:32:20 pm

Season 3 of The Scooby-Doo Show was later repackaged as "Where Are You" season 3 for syndication, but it is not the official title. Notice the Where Are You season 3 DVD even has The Scooby-Doo Show intro still on all the episodes.

Jacob J

10/9/2020 10:35:59 am

This is actually wrong. The Scooby-Doo Show didn't exist until syndication. From 1976-1978, the shows now known as The Scooby-Doo Show were never called The Scooby-Doo Show.

Season 1 was actually called the Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour when it aired in 1976 with its own intro which then got changed to The Scooby Doo show intro. Then Season 2 in 1977 had 8 episodes released as part of Scooby's All-star Laff-a-lympics, which had its own intro that again didn't translate to The Scooby-Doo Show syndication. Then in 1978, Scooby-Doo, Where are you was ordered a season 3 which premiered on September 8 at 8am. Followed by Season 2 of Scooby's All Stars at 10am. When the 3rd season of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You originally aired, it had the same intro as the original series. However, this did not translate to the 1980 syndication which became known as The Scooby-Doo Show. Also, Season 3 of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You was cancelled after 9 episodes and the remaining 7 episodes aired as part of the Scooby Doo All Stars block.

So in conclusion your entire statement is wrong. The Scooby-Doo Show itself was repackaged from Scooby-Doo, Where Are You Season 3, the Scooby Doo/Dynomutt Hour, and Scooby Doo Laff-A-Lympics segments. The Scooby-Doo show, nonexistant before the 1980 syndication, dropped all intros from the original shows and replaced them with its own unique intro. This new intro stayed in even when they released Season 3 separately on DVD.

I heard that the new SCOOB! movie will be the start of a cinematic Hanna barbera universe. how will this effect the timeline and will it be a different timeline or be the same timeline?

WildwindVampire link

4/24/2020 12:56:34 pm

I think it will really depend on what happens in the film, so I can't definitively say yet! But presumably, this would bring some other franchises technically into the same timeline as Scooby, though I don't think we'll list them out episode by episode since many of the franchises are already intertwined with Scooby through Laff a Lympics or Scooby's guest appearances on their show (i.e. Dynomutt and Blue Falcon, Captain Caveman, etc.) Come to think of it, I think the only new franchise that will officially become a part of the timeline that wasn't already from SCOOB! is Muttley and Dick Dastardly. In Laff-a-Lympics, both of those characters were there, but technically under different names (Mumbly and The Dread Baron).

Thomas Allen Holste

4/27/2020 07:03:47 pm

I personally found the ending of "Mystery Incorporated" to be very satisfying. The gang had set everything right in town, and now they were off to new adventures.

I would have loved to see a follow-up series, but sadly, it seemed like Cartoon Network didn't support the show like it should have. (I get the impression that the show was too dark for their tastes, but I have no definitive proof of that.) Although the fans love the show, I think the ratings weren't good enough for a follow-up series.

That's part of why I love this timeline: It opens one's mind to the idea that all the other Scooby series (including "Where are You?") come about as the result of the new history. That means there *is* a follow-up to "Mystery Incorporated": It's "Where are You?" and everything else!

Of course, I think "Where are You?" is probably the most referenced series in "Mystery Incorporated," so if it turned out that W.A.Y. already happened, I would be fine with that. I think they're actually a little older in W.A.Y. than in M.I., though, which is probably why those shows are placed where they are.

But if we skipped W.A.Y., then the next series would be "The New Scooby-Doo Movies," where they meet all the celebrities. And if they're already hanging out with Kurt Vonnegut, why not other famous people? :)

Anyway, those are just my thoughts on the matter!

5/19/2020 11:31:02 am

Hi Thomas! Nice to hear from you again and sorry for the very late reply! I somehow seem to have missed this comment and am just noticing it now as I was replying to someone else. I guess 3 weeks late is better than never haha!

I loved the ending to SDMI! It was offsetting a bit at first, just because it was SO different from what I was expecting, but I think they wrapped things up really nicely and definitely kept us in a state of surprise until the very end!

I wish we would have gotten a follow up series too. I agree with your assessment of CN not liking how dark it was, but I can't say for sure.

That was our thoughts as well when making this! :)

WildwindVampire link

4/27/2020 09:54:09 am

There isn't any show that follows that storyline unfortunately. It's just kind of left on a cliffhanger and no future show chooses to explore that.

A youtuber I watch called film/game theroy (prob heard of him) posted this Scooby Doo video and i suggest you watch it. he made a Scooby Doo timeline ( a few actually) and he has a compelling argument. not saying yours is wrong. in fact i like yours better. but you should watch it and maybe you guys will find some things you overlooked

5/18/2020 06:38:27 pm

Just watched Scoob and it is amazing . and it has some things in it that i feel prove this timeline or at least backs it up i dont know if youve seen it yet so i will not tell you what happened

WildwindVampire link

5/19/2020 11:34:19 am

I watched SCOOB! the moment it came out (right at midnight on the release date) and I loved it! I agree that this backs up our timeline, and I put it at the bottom of our timeline in the reboot era. I see I forgot to put the year after it though, so I'll fix that tonight!

Kirbo

5/19/2020 12:48:44 pm

its cool that you saw it as soon as it relesed i wanted to but I lost track of the day and i thought that i didnt come out for a few more days LOL.
the part where it remade the original intro i feel proves this timeline. becuase it has some scenes differint and some parts they are kids becuase I think it takes in the original timeline before MI and in that timeline they started solving mysterys as kids seen in A pup named Scooby Doo

WildwindVampire link

5/19/2020 06:00:38 pm

Haha, yeah it's been easy to lose track of the days lately. Omg, I was thinking the remake of the intro sort of proved the timeline too! :)

Kirbo

5/19/2020 12:56:58 pm

The only thing i feel disproves my theroy is the facts that Fred gets a new and advanced Mystery Machine. but i might have an answer but i will need to do some reserch

WildwindVampire link

5/19/2020 06:01:06 pm

Hadn't thought about that, but that's a good point! Let me know if you find anything in your research on that!

Kirbo

5/19/2020 11:09:01 pm

My research is done and i found nothing. the only show i included in my reserch was Mi becuase at the end the timeline was remade and i dont fthink they would still have the new mystery machine seen at the end of scoob maybe they made it in the same shape as teh orginal becuase a big thing in scoob wasthw robots can hange their shape and look and at least a mounth if not longer had pasted between when they beat dick and the grand opening so they prob had acces tom the teck after the dick incident and had been able to modify it into the new mytery machine or maybe at some poiunt inbetween scoob and MI the new one got broken or destoyed and they got a new one more like the original

WildwindVampire link

5/20/2020 10:54:42 am

That's an interesting theory and I bet you're right!

Kirbo

5/19/2020 11:15:50 pm

i also have another theroy about the bulding they opened up in the end of SCOOB. I think the reason we did not see it in MI is becuase they went bankrupt and ha dto shut down the building.(prob went bankrupt from Fred buying stuff for traps LOL) so then maybe they had to find a new place to work and Angel being part of the original Mystery Incorperated wanted to keep an eye on them so let them work in her studio

WildwindVampire link

5/20/2020 10:55:38 am

Haha yeah, businesses go bankrupt all the time so if one were to view this as in continuity with SDMI, that's probably the best explanation we're going to get!

Kirbo

5/20/2020 12:13:23 pm

I was also wondering why you guys chose to put SCOOB! in the Reboot section?

WildwindVampire link

5/20/2020 01:49:42 pm

It was mainly my decision and Dallas agreed to it, since he hasn't had a chance to watch the movie yet. It sort of doesn't really fit with any particular series, as it provides yet another explanation as to how the gang met, and it's out of continuity with stuff like Mask of the Blue Falcon and the three Dynomutt episodes the gang guest stars in, even though those other pieces you researched fit with the timeline. I'd be happy to hear if you have a different opinion of where it should be placed, though! :)

Kirbo

5/21/2020 01:26:43 pm

it seems that they were trying to make an origin story for the original scooby game and not the ones from the reboot or just trying to reboot them again.in the trailer they stated that it is an origin story a few times. and then they remade the original intro song. witch seemed they were trying to show that those events had already happened but remember its an origin story. and the intro song remake had scenes different and some scenes they were younger implying that they did not happen the same way they happened in the show. and you guys have stated that the events of the og show happened in the MI original timeline but happened differently than in the first show. and that's not all. also what do you mean out of continuity with stuff like Mask of the Blue Falcon and the eps with them?

WildwindVampire link

5/21/2020 04:24:06 pm

I'm not sure which "original Scooby game" you're talking about, sorry. The Mask of the Blue Falcon film portrays Blue Falcon as sort of this washed up superhero if I remember right, and doesn't talk anything about the Falcon Fury. Dynomutt is always far more goofy and silly, whereas in SCOOB! he was super serious, so unless he had a serious personality change (which is possible) it wouldn't be consistent with the Dynomutt we see in SCOOB!.

Kirbo

5/21/2020 06:37:29 pm

I did not mean to say game i ment show that was a typo

WildwindVampire link

5/22/2020 11:30:43 am

Ah okay, that makes more sense. I think Scooby Goes Hollywood makes it the most iffy because it directly contradicts this...so either SCOOB! has to be a reboot or Scooby Goes Hollywood is...though I'm minded to believe maybe we should move Scooby Goes Hollywood to the reboots and make SCOOB! into the main continuity...what do you think?

Kirbo

5/22/2020 02:28:33 pm

I do remember a doc or something that Dallas and you Made. that had this timeline and notes that explained why things went where they were on the timeline and on the doc it said that in scooby doo goes to Hollywood it was revealed that they got scooby from a pet shop. but in an ep of what's new scooby doo S3E8 there was a flashback to when they were kids and scoob was there you guys explained this as Scoob being shags dog but then he got lost at some point but then they got him back years later at the pet shop. but that flashback takes place in the Pup Named Scooby-doo era. that show toke place in the original MI timeline. what if they at some point after creating the new timeline they got the memories of the way their life happened up until the point when they arrived in the new timeline. have you ever seen the flash [SPOILER WARNING] he time-traveled in an ep creating a new timeline called flashpoint. in it he started losing his memories from the other timeline and they would be replaced by the memories from the timeline he created. the same thing would happen to them only they would also have memories from the old timeline. let us pretend for a second that they did not go crazy from having memories of 2 different lives. they would prob not know which one was really how they met Scoob. so their memory from Scooby-Doo goes to Hollywood was from the new timeline.

Kirbo

5/22/2020 02:34:15 pm

This would mean that Scooby Doo goes to Hollywood and Scoob are both in the main continuity

WildwindVampire link

5/23/2020 10:15:24 am

This is a really interesting theory and I like it! I checked with Dallas to see if he liked it before I change anything, and he said he would come here and read it within the next few days. Thank you for the suggestion!

Kirbo

5/22/2020 11:52:23 pm

In mask of the blue falcon, Blue falcon and Dynomutt are just charecters on a superhero show and not real, but they are real in the Dynomutt show where the gang made cameos. how do you explan that?

WildwindVampire link

5/23/2020 10:17:39 am

You know, this is actually another great point! I will let Dallas know to check this comment out as well to see what he thinks. I agree that this is a major plothole that would require one of them to be a reboot/out of main continuity, unless of course we went with your explanation about the multiple realities above.

Kirbo

5/23/2020 12:01:50 am

What is the canon age of the gang in MI?

WildwindVampire link

5/23/2020 09:58:49 am

I would say 16 or 17!

Kirbo

5/23/2020 11:24:25 am

Ty for taking a look at my suggestions and theories, I really appreciate it. the other day I watched Scooby-Doo and the curse of the 13th ghost. and the sheriff said they are almost 18 meaning they are not yet 18. according to the timeline and where you mark the end of a year and beginning of another they are at least 33 by this point.

WildwindVampire link

5/23/2020 04:05:28 pm

Of course! Haha, they're so inconsistent with the age thing I'm not sure there's a way to get around that one!

Kirbo

5/23/2020 05:42:26 pm

for all we know they look really young and the Sheriff mistaked them for teens lol!

Hello all, apologies on not keeping up appearances on here. This is just one of MANY timelines/chronological viewing orders I'm involved in. Star Wars and DC keep me VERY busy. Thank you all for your support and continued questions.

WildWindVampire has done an EXCELLENT job of covering my absence and taking the wheel on this thing. If anyone is interested in getting involved in the process, here is what really needs to be done in order to better define this timeline...

Every single episode/movie/chapter of the franchise needs to be watched in order of production and notes need to be taken on anything that helps to narrow down the timeline. This includes dialogue, dates/times, weather, time of year, seasons, passage of time, character ages, etc. (literally anything that alludes to any of those things listed should be taken into consideration).

It's a ton of work, but that's what needs to be done. Problem is, there are simply not enough hours in my day to power through all of that content, while working on other franchises as well as personal life. So if anyone has that kind of time to devote to this, let me know and feel free to start binging while taking notes of your findings. This can be a group effort for anyone interested. Thank you all SO much for the support! - Dallas

Hello Dallas, I have been a long time Scooby-Doo fan and I have great I know that making timelines like this takes lots of time and effort and I would love to help. recently I have been watching at least 2 Scooby-Doo movies a day and I would be okay with watching a lot more scooby doo to help with the timeline. I have always been a person who wants to watch and read things chronologically. and I would love to help solve the mystery of what Scoobys Chronology is.

Hello Kirbo! Glad to hear you are interested in helping! I would say just start taking notes as you watch and keep us all updated. You can let myself or WildWindVampire know of any notes/details you discover. There is no such thing as "too much information". Anything you think may help to better place a movie or episode in relation to the rest of the timeline will be absolutely noted and would help with this massive project.

We can even split up the workload by having someone volunteer to just watch the movies, then someone else can pick one of the many series and just go through each episode with a fine-toothed comb to see what the writers and creators put in the episodes that give us an idea of the chronology. I'm not sure how we want to organize everyone's findings, but this comment section is probably the best place so everyone is on the same page.

Again, thank you so much for your willingness to assist! - Dallas

Thank you, Dallas and WildWind, for all your help, as always! I know this isn't a full-time job for either of you, so I appreciate all the time and effort you put into trying to make a consistent timeline, when even the people making the (wonderful) shows haven't made continuity a priority.

I'm excited that Kirbo is jumping in and able to help as well!

People keep mentioning a document or spreadsheet, justifying all the timeline placements. As far as I can recall, I've only ever read the blog post above; I don't think I've seen the doc, but I'd love to! Can someone please share that here for me? Thanks in advance!

You guys also have a doc with the timeline in it and i has some notes. one says that after the Laff-a-lympics they got a tv show about them. i think that Be cool Scooby Doo could acually be the tv show. i have no proof but I will watch every ep and see what i can find

Hello I just watched Scooby abracadabra Doo, and the GPS in it is hat interested me. they say its a new GPS. in WNSD ep 1 freds GPS was malfunctioning and they prob had to get a new one maaybe the one we see in Scooby abracadabra Doo. we also get a good look at both the
GPSs and they are clearly not the same. so what right? he got a new GPS between that time. NOPE! the GPS in Scooby abracadabra Doo is clearly AI or something it has its own personality. thats really advanced. and the one in WNSD is not. meaning the on in Scooby abracadabra Doo is most likely a newer GPS. so take that into consideration if you change the timeline a bit

WildwindVampire link

5/27/2020 04:52:50 pm

I see you're right that Abracadabra was placed before Where Are You. I think we may have done that due to the style being darker and different than most DTV films near What's New (I don't think I was the one that chose that placing, I believe it was Dallas). But this is a great thing to take into consideration! Thank you!

Kirbo

6/5/2020 02:36:24 am

Wow the website has been quiet the last few days, ive been busy with school wrapping up but i hve done some reserch for the timeline and found a few things, in SDMI there is one scene where Delphine lookis at a statue of scrappy and Fred says "Look away Delphine, we promised wed never speak of him again" meaning not only does he exit in the Og timeline but he also was most likley a part of the gang at some point and then they had some falling out. So i think that all the eps with scrappy and the WHole gang should be moved to before SDMI but the eps with crappy, Scoob, SHaggy and sometimes Delphine should stay where they are or be moved to better fitin the timeline. so in the new timeline after SDMI scrappy prob came to live with His Uncle Scooby and Scoob prob forgave him Shaggy would prob be okey with it. and in the scene from SDMI Delphine did not seem to hold a grudge or be ashamed of him so shew would prob forgive him. also in Sooby doo Cruse of the 13th Goust Velma and Fred do not seem to remember him maybe They did not tell them that they forgave Scrappy. also if this is the case we should prob add the original 2 scooby doo live action moives the fist one would prob go after the eps with scrappy and i will leave where the sequal monters unleased goes up yo you guys.plz let me know if there is any questions you haven regarding this theroy and I will be sure to give a answer

Tom Holste

6/5/2020 07:47:42 am

That's a really interesting scene, and one that caught my attention as well. The thing is that Flim Flam is also mentioned/shown in the museum, and the only production Flim Flam appears in is "13 Ghosts."

"13 Ghosts" can't be a part of this continuity, since supernatural monsters are very real in that production, and in "Mystery Incorporated," they're very much not. In fact, much of the second season has Velma wrestling with her concern that the ghosts might actually be real this time, only to eventually find out that there's a sci-fi reason for all the stuff going on, but not a ghostly reason.

Also, Vincent van Ghoul is not just a local TV actor in "13 Ghosts" that he clearly is in "Mystery Incorporated."

But it can't be completely discounted, because (IIRC) Fred and Velma mention something about the adventures with Flim Flam happening while they were away for the summer, or something like that, which would add up (unless I'm starting to get my productions confused).

My only possible explanation is that an alternate version of the events of "13 Ghosts" took place. "Mystery Incorporated" is in a slightly different timeline where the gang solved mysteries with Scrappy and Flim Flam, then Flim Flam got arrested and something bad happened with Scrappy that they don't want to talk about. Maybe this is a timeline where the mystery was unsolved, leading to "Curse of the 13th Ghost."

(I don't know if the depiction of Vincent fits, though; he seemed more imposing again in the trailer for "Curse." Also, I think Shaggy and Scooby meet Vincent for the first time in "Mystery Incorporated," whereas "Curse" implies that they already knew him from those earlier stories.)

I don't know anything, basically. I'm just spitballing ideas here.

I do agree with you that the first season of "Scrappy" can take place before "Mystery Incorporated," since they were still solving real mysteries at that point, and the gang is all still together.

Anyway, hope some of my thoughts helped a bit. I really have a lot of fun discussing things like this! :)

WildwindVampire link

6/5/2020 10:35:03 am

Totally agree with your theory, Kirbo! Tom, Maybe this seems like a cop-out answer, but maybe Vincent Van Ghoul was an actor in SDMI, but when the timeline reset, he became a demon hunter?

Kirbo

6/5/2020 10:39:36 am

I said that only the scrappy eps with the whole gang would be moved meaning 13 ghosts would stay where it is. Vincent is still a Tv star in the Og timeline. they prob met Flim Flam in a diffifernt way.

WildwindVampire link

6/5/2020 03:21:52 pm

That could be as well.

Tom Holste

6/6/2020 08:01:16 am

Hi again, Kirbo! Thanks for the continued discussion. I hope it's clear that I'm not arguing with you, just trying to work with you on hashing all the details out. The people making the shows didn't make this easy for us, so we're all just doing the best we can! :)

I think I did lose track of the fact that you didn't say that "13 Ghosts" took place earlier. Sorry! When I realized that Flim Flam was in the same scene as Scrappy, I wondered if there was some way to reconcile that production into the timeline as well. Then I realized all the contradictions inherent in that, and started talking through those, but it wasn't anything you said. I guess I was arguing against the show creators putting Flim Flam in that scene in the first place!

Wildwind, I don't think it's a cop-out at all! I think multiple timelines are the only way to reconcile all the seeming contradictions. So, yes, Vincent van Ghoul could be a very different person in an alternate timeline. It's basically "Into the Scooby-Verse"! ;)

WildwindVampire link

6/6/2020 08:56:23 am

On a side note, that would be awesome if they made an "Into the Scooby-Verse" movie haha. The last Scooby-Doo! Team Up comic kind of explored that, but I would love to see a longer version of all the different versions of the gang meeting themselves!

Kirbo

6/5/2020 10:41:50 am

On a side note, I think its possible that Vincent was a demon hunter and was just hiding it and using being a moive star as a cover

WildwindVampire link

6/5/2020 03:21:25 pm

Would it matter though if the timeline was reset anyway?

Kirbo

6/5/2020 10:50:53 am

the only problem is I think we should also add the 2002 Scooby Doo witch would not make since becuase in it the monster was real. but in later events she has a much harder time accepting the super natural. after the events of zombie island she refusses to let the fact that it was real even be a possibility. but in SDMI she let it be a possiblity she knew it was real she just toke time to process it. maybe its becuase she had just recently had an encounter with a real monster in the 2002 Scooby Doo moive and after the timeline reset she was prob convinsed that there were none in the new timeline witch is why she would not accept it later on.

WildwindVampire link

6/5/2020 03:36:20 pm

I guess I'm confused as to how adding the 2002 film would make a difference, since SDMI is already the first thing in the timeline and everything that happened is rebooted.

Kirbo

6/5/2020 03:39:37 pm

In the 2002 film Scrappy was the villien and thats prob why they wont talk about him

WildwindVampire link

6/5/2020 04:41:15 pm

Oh I gotcha! I can bring it up to Dallas and see what he thinks, but I believe he wanted to leave out those live action films because of how much it screwed with the continuity (particularly the prequels).

Kirbo

6/5/2020 05:48:04 pm

I don't think the prequals are canon. Just the 2002 and 2004 ones should be added

WildwindVampire link

6/6/2020 08:54:59 am

Sounds good, I will mention it to him!

WildwindVampire link

6/10/2020 10:26:48 am

I talked to Dallas and he still thinks that the continuity is separate and that this is more of an animated timeline, which I would say I agree with. Thank you for the suggestion though, I appreciate it!

How did you all become Fans of Scooby what sparked your Love of the franchise?

WildwindVamprie link

6/10/2020 10:23:46 am

Personally, I got into Scooby when I was 7. My parents had recorded some VHS tapes of airings of Scooby on the USA Network, and I fell in love with the franchise from there! I loved the mystery aspect of the series and just the whole dynamic of the show. How about you?

Kirbo

6/10/2020 11:59:08 am

I Don't Remember exactly how I fell in love with the franchise I just know that I did I had tons of scooby doo coloring and eye spy books. One Christmas i got a scooby doo DVD called scooby doo meets batman it had 2 eps from the new scooby doo movies on it and i loved it I watched it all the time, it was the first scooby doo DVD i owned and i was very protective of it i don't think I let anyone but me and my friend who also loved scooby doo touch it. my older sister had owned scooby doo curse of the lake monster I watched it all the time that too I think that's what brought me into the franchise. I also rented scooby doo from my library all the time. i was a huge Scooby fan my family knew it my friends knew it even my teachers. in 3rd grade, the teacher gave me scooby doo books to read I guess my mom told her I liked scooby doo. I had just moved to a new school it was around this time I was falling away from the fanbase prob because of the stress of a new school and people making fun of me. I had been worried i would never see my best friend again, who was also a scooby doo fan. just a few months before the quarantine started i came back to the fan base.

WildwindVampire link

6/10/2020 10:35:45 pm

Scooby-Doo Meets Batman was among the first episodes I saw as well, along with the Harlem Globetrotters episodes, which is why I have such a soft spot from those. I totally get worrying about people making fun of you; I worried about liking Scooby not being mature enough when I was in middle school as well. But I'm still a fan to this day, so obviously the worry didn't overcome my love for Scooby! That's cool that you came back to the fanbase though after leaving!

Tom Holste

6/11/2020 07:12:08 am

Sorry to hear that people were bullying you, Kirbo! That's sad. I wish people were more respectful of others' likes and interests. But I'm glad you're part of the fan base now!

Kirbo

6/12/2020 11:19:14 pm

aww thanks guys, I was never really worried about peopel bulling me about liking scooby the min reason i left was becuase of the stress of a new school. it ool how some of the first eps watched were also scooby doo meets batman. i was just at the store and they had the first 2 seasons of where are you for 20 dollers i almost got it but i forgot my money and my mom said it was too much lol. if i see it again and i have my money im gonna buy it

I have been a fan of Scooby literally my entire life. Like, I can't even remember how I became such a huge fan. I decided today to binge watch the entire series in chronological order, as despite my love for it, there's still A LOT I haven't seen. I even subscribed to Boomerang to make it easier. So I went searching on Google for the best order, and came across this. I'm so thankful for it! I think a lot of it makes sense, and will gladly bring up and ideas I have for possible changes to make it better. Really look forward to following this through, and really happy I discovered this blog.

Not sure where else to post this, so thought here would work, but in the A Pup Name Scooby-Doo episode Ghost Who's Coming To Dinner, the gang encounter the ghost Mr. Boo, and it's pretty clear he's a real ghost. I forgot ALL about this, and am kinda mind blown.

WildwindVampire link

7/16/2020 07:22:54 am

I forgot about that too! It is pretty crazy they had real ghosts even in that series!

Graig

7/16/2020 01:18:33 pm

Right? Like, that's crazy! But I've always felt like the Scoobyverse is set in a world full of the supernatural, they just don't always encounter it, and this fuels it.

You mess up on Scooby Doo Where are you, A Clue for Scooby Doo comes before Hassle in the Castle.I love your work for this chart so informative.

WildwindVampire link

7/25/2020 09:38:03 am

Many DVDs list it as being switched around in the way we have it listed on here, which I would argue is the way that it aired. I am aware that Scoobypedia has it different, and it was probably produced before Hassle in the Castle given the different title cards.

psy

9/13/2020 07:38:52 pm

so far ive almost watched this entire list
currently on scooby doo haunted holidays

it really does make more sense to start the watching from a pup named scooby doo

to see the gang as the get older over time is alot of fun.

thankyou 4 taking the time to make this list

think i may even share the site so more people can watch scooby doo in this chronological order

10/7/2020 09:25:40 pm

Hi! Thank you for this list! Been an on-off Scooby watcher all my life. My question is: Is it fair to say that, outside of live action movies and the new Scoob!, most Scooby Doo shows/episodes fall into the "New Timeline"?

So take out all live action, Scoob!, A Pup Named SD, Mystery Incorporated, and Be Cool, SD. Then all that remains is basically in its own timeline?

Dallas

10/8/2020 08:02:24 am

Yep! I believe MI creates a new timeline (similar to the film "X-Men: Days Of Future Past") Meaning anything post MI is part of that new continuity.

WildwindVampire link

10/8/2020 09:10:41 am

Honestly, I would say yes, though I'd add taking out Get A Clue as well. Guess Who has a few continuity errors in it, and so do these recent "sequel" movies, but offhand I'd say it would work if you took all those out.

WildwindVampire link

10/21/2020 01:14:00 pm

Hey all, I made some updates today to add Guess Who season 2 and Happy Halloween to the timeline. A few of the most recent episodes are out of order because "The High School Wolfman's Musical Lament!" includes scenes from season 2, episodes 3 and 7, likely meaning they were aired in a different order than it was produced.

I also adjusted season 1 a bit. The Batman Guess Who episode was previously set taking place during Where Are You, but I removed it because the Batman shown in that episode is too different from the one they meet in future episodes (The New Scooby-Doo Movies), the gang doesn't know Batman, and Velma's comment about Daphne not having an uncle. Between all that, there's just too many continuity issues so it got dumped in the reboot section. "Caveman on the Half Pipe!" also got put there, because Shaggy makes a brief comment about Flim Flam and the 13 Ghosts, so it can't take place before 13 Ghosts. Though "One-Minute Mysteries" was originally in the reboot section due to reusing classic villains with different culprits, I took it out because it could be argued that they were copycat villains, and other films (i.e. Return to Zombie Island) have done a similar repurposing of classic villain designs and weren't in the reboot section.

Happy Halloween is set right after the last two 2019 films, since they're all connected.

If y'all have any feedback on any of these updates, I'd love to hear it!

Tom Holste

10/22/2020 08:32:56 am

Great work as always, Wildwind!

You probably mentioned this elsewhere, but why specifically does "Be Cool" end up in the reboot category? I know there's a radically different art style, but what story/character contradictions exist that set it outside of the normal productions? (I'm sure there are reasons; I just haven't heard them, and haven't seen enough of "Be Cool" to know them for myself.)

WildwindVampire link

10/22/2020 01:34:45 pm

Thank you! The head writer of Be Cool, Jon Colton Barry, has directly said that it's intended to be a reboot of Where Are You, providing a different origin story for the gang. Fred's dad is a criminal, Scooby is introduced to Scooby Snacks and we find out how they're named after him specifically, Daphne's birthday is on Christmas, among some other contradictions and discrepancies from the rest of the franchise. Seeing as JCB said that it is a reboot, we wanted it to be in its own category since it was specifically created to provide its own origin story for the gang of sorts.

Tom Holste

10/24/2020 10:21:28 am

Ahh, got it. Thank you for clarifying! That all intrigues me. I should really check out more episodes of "Be Cool"!

WildwindVampire link

4/23/2022 05:35:53 pm

Just noticed when going through this comment thread again that I had missed, including this one. Apologies this response is two years late, but I suppose better late than never haha. I would definitely recommend watching Be Cool! It’s the funniest Scooby series in my opinion, and the gang dynamics and character development are excellent.

Brian

3/6/2021 08:13:40 pm

For "One-Minute Mysteries" I believe when they reused the classic Villians they were the original culprits not different ones.

WildwindVampire link

I'm pretty sure at least one of them was different if not more. I know Simone was dressed as the swamp witch, but I don't remember the others.

10/22/2020 06:55:38 am

Hey Tom Hostle,
You’re right. I’m sorry I got annoyed. There is one thing I have to say about the gang being out of high school in where are you which is in what a night for a Knight they call Shaggy the swingingest gymnast in high school.

Tom Holste

10/22/2020 08:28:11 am

No worries! It happens to all of us sometimes. :)

Good call on the gymnast thing in "Where are You"! I forgot about that one.

WildwindVampire link

10/22/2020 01:31:51 pm

No worries. I'm not necessarily all for SDMI being before Where Are You either, it was more Dallas's idea than mine. I think the explanation was just that everything was rebooted at the end of SDMI, so basically the "new reality" sent them back in time to Where Are You.

WildwindVampire link

So I’ve read a decent amount of comments, and I’m hoping that you still to this day look at this post, but I’m going to watch the timeline order, if changes haven’t been made that need to be. Can you give me a heads up? Scooby Doo obviously like many has been cherished by me for years and still am, however I have not seen any of the new series. I’m excited to watch how this plays out! Thank you for taking so much time in doing research, and sharing with us die-hard fans!

WildwindVampire link

2/28/2021 11:26:11 am

Hi Byron, I do look at this post still and have a recent comment feed that shows whenever anyone makes a comment on any thread, so I'll always see it! :) I just added The Sword and the Scoob and the most recent Guess Who episode. The Sword and the Scoob, however, is placed in the reboot section of the timeline, because there is a very brief scene in which a clip from the intro from Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! is shown (this is during the scene where the gang is sent back in time by the ghost of Morgan La Fey). Unfortunately, since Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! is in the reboot timeline, this has to be placed there as well.

Kirbo

3/17/2021 01:22:52 pm

WildwindVampire link

3/18/2021 10:32:32 am

It's the first time they've mentioned it aloud, but they have had Crystal Cove license plates on the Mystery Machine in a couple movies. Crystal Cove is also mentioned in the Sword and the Scoob.

WildwindVampire link

4/2/2021 09:01:38 am

One of the head writers of Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! has shared that the show purposefully reimagines moments from Where Are You in a different timeline (including Shaggy and Scooby being introduced to Scooby Snacks), so we decided to move it into its own reboot timeline.

Hey it’s me again! I have another point I wanted to talk about and that is the gangs age. In where are you the gang is 15,16,17. In mystery incorporated they’re all the same age. This leads me to believe the mystery incorporated should be part of a separate timeline because in a pup named Scooby Doo their ages are the same as way. Just a suggestion tho your timeline is really groovy already!

4/17/2021 09:01:12 am

Another question lol: why is Arabian nights before Mystery Incorporated. Not saying it’s wrong I’m just curious. I assumed it took place after scrappy is gone but before zombie island.

WildwindVampire link

4/17/2021 02:41:33 pm

That would be one I'd have to ask Dallas on as I honestly don't remember why it was placed there.

Jaguaro

4/17/2021 09:29:38 am

I have another question which is has to do with Batman. So in the dynamic Scooby Doo affair Batman and robin meet the gang for the first time. But in your timeline you have the movie before the episode which i mean you can do whatever you want and I’m not gonna complain your timeline’s great but the episode is the first time they meet.

The reason we put the movie before the episode was because Batman was alone in that film (Robin was nowhere to be seen), and the gang acted like they had never met Batman before, and Batman was kind of cold with them. I suppose the episode could go before the movie and maybe the film could be put in the reboot timeline, since they don't really seem to recognize Batman at all in either.

Jaguaro

4/17/2021 09:06:34 pm

Ah yes the reboot timeline would make a lot of sense.

Jaguaro

4/17/2021 09:11:54 pm

Another point (your probably getting tired of my comments lol) is the fact that boo brothers, ghoul school, and reluctant werewolf takes place before daphnes return. I think it would make more sense if you moved those movies up after the end of puppy hour or Richie rich. If you have a reason to put them there I would love to here it. The Scooby timeline is the biggest mystery of all lol.

WildwindVampire link

4/18/2021 05:39:33 pm

No worries, I'm not getting sick of your questions at all! I feel like all these things you're asking are things Dallas put there that I just didn't challenge haha. To explain, Dallas is the one who created most of this timeline and he reached out to me to see if my site would be a place to publish it. I also read over what he had and offered suggestions...so yeah, I'm sorry that my answer to many of your questions are "I'll ask Dallas," but the things you're asking are things that Dallas put there that I just didn't challenge. I agree it would make more sense that Boo Brothers/Ghoul School/Reluctant Werewolf were after the shorts.

Jagauro

4/18/2021 09:50:47 am

Oh yeah so I was thinking about the Batman movie I remembered that Velma wears robins costume which means robin was there before the movie. It’s possible he came back but I’m not sure that’s the case. Anyways I’m glad you guys are open to suggestions and still check this!

WildwindVampire link

4/18/2021 05:41:14 pm

You're absolutely right, I had forgotten about that! I have sent Dallas an email (haven't heard back yet though) so I'll let you know what I hear back!

And yes, I get notifications whenever someone posts a new comment on any post on the blog :)

Hey guys I just came over this This is a big help I like watching things in chronological order I am so happy and thankful for everyone’s efforts on this time line keep it up.

WildwindVampire link

4/18/2021 05:40:01 pm

So glad this was helpful, Jason!

Jason Mccann

4/18/2021 05:42:22 pm

Also I am big fan of Scooby doo love it I just had trouble finding the right way to watch them and now I have as I said in last post I am extremely grateful for this

WildwindVampire link

4/18/2021 05:43:50 pm

Yeah, the continuity is definitely confusing in the franchise, especially when a few of the films/episodes contradict each other. That was a big motivator for us to create this timeline!

Graig

4/18/2021 06:30:13 pm

It's been a *while* since I was on here, and was originally planning on watching Scooby chronologically last year, but that didn't happen. This time, it is happening, and I'll be sure to pay as close attention to everything as possible and if I notice anything I'll be sure to mention it here!
After I'm done, I'm gonna rank all the shows and films because that's going to be fun for me to do haha.

Dallas

4/19/2021 08:29:49 am

Thanks Graig, I have not had the time to devote myself to this franchise in a while myself. Be sure to send me any notes at dallas.kinard@gmail.com.

Jaguaro

4/19/2021 11:50:13 am

Thanks Dallas I’m gonna put together a list of information and questions and send them to you! I’ve been thinking about lot about the Scooby Doo timeline recently.

Graig

4/24/2021 12:07:54 pm

No problem! And will do.

WildwindVampire link

4/19/2021 09:18:50 am

Welcome back, Graig!

Thank you! Really happy to be back.

Graig

So I already noticed something in the first episode of A Pup Named. When Shaggy's at the Clubhouse with the gang and upset about his bike being stolen, he says it's a "cherry 1959 Starfire Special". The bike doesn't actually exist, but it gives a year. Personally, I've alwayd felt the gang was around 8 years old in A Pup Named, and if Shaggy is 17 in 1969 when the Where Are You aired he'd be 7 in 1959. It's probably set in the summer too, since Shaggy has a job, and has to get up early, and most kids probably wouldn't want to have a job and school at that time. Though I guess if it's supposed to be the 50s, that might have been more common.
Another thing I noticed is that Scooby is a bit shorter then Fred and Shaggy, and thought about maybe figuring out Scooby's age based on height. If Shaggy is 7, he's probably around 4ft tall - average height for a 7 year old boy - and so I think Scooby is 8-9 months old, since his height would probably be around 34-38 inches at that age, making him shorter then four feet. Just a random bit of info I tried figuring out, though I don't know how helpful any of it actually is.

Jaguaro

4/19/2021 07:53:31 am

Good point Graig! The only problem is that we don’t have any proof shaggy gets his bike at the time of a pup named Scooby Doo. It’s possible he got his bike a few years earlier. My opinion is that shaggy is 9-10 during the show but then again when shaggy looses his bike he acts like he’s 7 lol.

Graig

4/23/2021 08:17:11 pm

THank you!! And you're right, we don't. Also, Daphne calls it a "rickety old bike" so that tells us it's probably a few years old - Daphne would probably call anything a year old "rickety" at that point haha - so it's likely the show is set a few years after the bike's first release.

WildwindVampire link

4/19/2021 09:20:02 am

Interesting point! Thanks for sharing it and I think that could be very helpful to the timeline for a point of reference.

Graig

4/23/2021 08:17:51 pm

No problem! Just thought it was interesting.

Graig

4/18/2021 11:25:39 pm

Okay, I forgot that Scooby probably ages like a human (he shows up as a "baby puppy" with Shaggy in a flashback in the third episode of A Pup Named) so ignore the thing about his heigh/age cause he's probably around the same age as the rest of the gang lol.

Jaguaro

4/19/2021 08:08:13 am

Scooby Doo is 7 during where are you. Which means he’s probably just born in APNSD (which means shaggy has to be at least ten in APNSD).

Jaguaro

4/19/2021 08:11:26 am

Okay so I just saw the comic book flashback in APNSD ep 3. I’m so confused now. No idea how Scooby Doo was alive before he was born lol. Maybe the comic book person was joking idk.

WildwindVampire link

4/19/2021 09:18:12 am

That is confusing haha. I assume she was joking. It was never confirmed that Scooby-Doo was 7 during Where Are You in-show.

Graig

4/23/2021 08:20:18 pm

Scooby's age was never confirmed in the show I believe. And I think based on info from Mystery Incorporated, we can assume that Scooby ages at a more human rate than normal dogs, which is how that would work.

WildwindVampire link

4/24/2021 10:42:40 am

Nope, Scooby's age was not confirmed in any show (I don't think any of the gang's was confirmed either). I believe Mystery Begins is the closest we get where it's confirmed Shaggy is 16 (while the rest of the gang is assumed to be 15) because he got held back a year.

Graig

4/24/2021 12:10:05 pm

Right! So, knowing that, since Scooby is shown to age at the same right as Shaggy in Pup, and we know that he's not entirely a normal dog, we can just assume he ages like a human does.

Dallas

4/19/2021 08:34:32 am

Hello everyone, I see we have a ton of feedback and new questions/comments. Thank you all for those things! I recently re-evaluated this timeline and it's definitely in need of a reassessment as new content gets released. I've been working on a new graphical timeline that can be previewed here.

https://trello.com/b/FlMH7MRB/scooby-doo-chronological-viewing-order

This is going to be the "master copy" as I have time to work on it. Currently, this is a rough draft, but be sure to check it out and give any feedback you may have. Thanks everyone!

Jaguaro

4/19/2021 11:48:41 am

Thanks Dallas!

Graig

4/23/2021 08:43:33 pm

Thanks a bunch for this! To justify me watching A Pup Named first, I would like to say I think it could possibly be canon to both timelines? I I feel it would fit leading into both Myster Incorporated and Where Are You, if that makes sense.
And I was thinking about Zombir Island, since it's made such a big deal that this is the first time they've encountered real monsters, it could actually happen after Goes Hollywood, and before the Scrappy era? Basically the show the gang star in in that gets cancelled, and they go back to mystery solving, but it becomes unfulfilling for Daphne, leading her to starting her own show - which she is able to do thanks to the Hollywood notoriety from the gang's show - and the rest of the gang going their own way, leading to start of the film. After what happens on Moonscar Island, the gang gets back together and is happily solving mysteries again, but eventually need to focus on their own lives, explaining why they leave the gang throughout the Scrappy era, as well as explaining their lack of reaction to any real monsters they encounter in that time period. I haven't actually watched anything from that era except for 13 Ghosts, so feel free to explain to me why this wouldn't work.

WildwindVampire link

4/24/2021 10:40:21 am

That's a super interesting theory! Personally, I've seen all of the Scrappy series and I think it could work.

Graig

4/24/2021 12:10:58 pm

Thank you! And Great! I wasn't sure, but I'm glad it seems like it could as it makes a lot of sense to me.

Graham

4/20/2021 06:02:23 pm

Hi WildwindVampire and Dallas!

I just want to say what a fantastic job you guys have done/are doing, and thanks to all the other posters who have come up with such interesting points! I'm sure I'm older than most posters here (I watched SDWAY first time around as a very young kid), but through all that time I've remained a die-hard Scooby fan, and my kids (both now in their 20s) caught the Scooby bug from me :) So, thanks again to everyone. I'll be following all this with interest!

WildwindVampire link

4/21/2021 09:42:56 am

Aww, I'm so glad that the timeline has been helpful to you, Graham! <3

Graham

4/21/2021 11:38:48 am

It really has - I'm also a lifelong DC fan, so I love continuity debates/theories!

Would you say that the movies Scooby-Doo And The Curse of the 13th Ghost, Scooby-Doo! Return To Zombie Island, and
Happy Halloween, Scooby-Doo! work as a self-contained trilogy, given the sheriff's arc? I know 13th Ghost and RtZI reference past events, but they do recap.

WildwindVampire link

4/21/2021 04:54:24 pm

I would absolutely agree that Curse of the 13th Ghost, Return to Zombie Island and Happy Halloween are a trilogy. They all reference the Mystery Machine (though Happy Halloween didn't really explain how they got the Mystery Machine back) and the sheriff, so I would say they were probably intended to be watched as a trilogy.

Graig

4/23/2021 08:29:43 pm

So I finished season one of A Pup Named, and am over half way through season 2, but I thought I'd post my notes from season 1.
- In The Schnook Who Took My Comic Book, Shaggy asks Red where he was on the night of June 16th, which could give us a day it's set, if Shaggy was being serious about the day he was asking about.
- In Now Museum, Now You Don't, they're on a class trip so we know that the school year has started by then.
- In Snow Place Like Home, it seems like the episoe is set during the school's winter break, which would probably place this episode after Now Museum, despite the airing dates. I tried to find the production codes for them but couldn't.
- Scooby Dude feels very summer-esque, so I think in terms of timeline, it probably happened in the earlier batch of episodes.

Just some random things I noticed. It's possible I'm taking this a *little* too seriously, but I just love trying to figure stuff like this out.

Graig

4/23/2021 08:53:09 pm

- Also, Ghost Who's Coming To Dinner should be set before Snow Place Like Home, since it's set on Halloween.

WildwindVampire link

4/24/2021 10:41:16 am

Thank you so much for all these interesting observations! I agree about "Snow Place Like Home" being after "Ghost Who's Coming to Dinner?" given the seasons. What do you think, Dallas?

Graig

4/24/2021 12:12:28 pm

No problem!

Dallas

4/26/2021 09:38:10 am

Ok so this is what I have so far:

1.01: "A Bicycle Built For Boo!"

1.02: "The Sludge Monster From The Earth's Core"

1.03: "Wanted Cheddar Alive"

>June

1.04: "The Schnook Who Took My Comic Book"

>????

1.05: "For Letter Or Worse"

1.06: "The Babysitter From Beyond"

1.07: "Snow Place Like Home"

1.08: "Now Museum, Now You Don't"

1.09: "Scooby Dude"

>October

1.10: "Ghost Who's Coming To Dinner?" (October 31st)

>????

1.11: "The Story Stick"

1.12: "Robopup"

1.13: "Lights...Camera...Monster"

It does look like we may need to move 1.07. As long as there are no continuity issues of course.

Graig

4/26/2021 02:10:01 pm

Yeah this definitely works!

Dallas Kinard

4/26/2021 09:30:17 am

Graig, this is awesome! You are doing exactly the right process! Keep it up! Finding any of the series production codes has been a huge pain. It would greatly help if anyone knows where we can find out the production order for each series. Anyway, little details can make a huge difference so you have the right idea! Thanks for your help!

Graig

4/26/2021 11:56:40 am

Thanks! It's actually a lot of fun trying to pick up on specific details. And yeah, I tried but came up with nothing. Great! I'll keep doing it! And no problem!
I have a few notes from seasons 2 and 3 of Puo, but I'll email those to you. I've started Mystery Incorporated, and obviously that pretty much just has the one order haha.

Also, there definitely aren't any continuity issues, Snow Place Like Home would work perfectly after Ghost Who's Coming To Dinner.
And just wondering if you might move Scooby Dude up, as to me it doesn;t look like it's set in the fall or winter. If not, I totally get it! It's not really necessary haha.

Dallas

4/26/2021 01:52:34 pm

Ok so here's how I have it after applying your notes:

- Year One -

1.01: "A Bicycle Built For Boo!"

1.02: "The Sludge Monster From The Earth's Core"

1.03: "Wanted Cheddar Alive"

>June

1.04: "The Schnook Who Took My Comic Book"

>????

1.05: "For Letter Or Worse"

1.06: "The Babysitter From Beyond"

1.07: "Snow Place Like Home"

- Year Two -

1.08: "Now Museum, Now You Don't"

1.09: "Scooby Dude"

>October

1.10: "Ghost Who's Coming To Dinner?" (October 31st)

>????

1.11: "The Story Stick"

1.12: "Robopup"

1.13: "Lights...Camera...Monster"

Think it works that way? Assuming it's in production order of course.

Jagauro

4/24/2021 07:49:24 pm

So I was watching a pup a few days ago and I noticed Shaggy’s dad pops up and he’s not the Shaggy’s dad from MI. So I have a question is there a new timeline between a pup and MI and the another new timeline between MI and WAY? I wasn’t sure. Thanks and I working on an email with some questions and comments so I can stop filling up the comments here lol. Oh and also I checked the link Dallas sent and I’m pretty sure he has MI in the reboot timeline just so you know Wildwindvampire.

Graig

4/24/2021 08:35:09 pm

Thanks for mentioning that! I forgot to say something, especially since all the parents are different from Mystery Incorporated.
Also was wondering if stuff set in Coolsville and stuff set in Crystal Cove would be completely separate timelines.

Dallas Kinard

4/26/2021 09:28:20 am

Hello guys, glad to see so much collaboration on here. If anyone wants to send me their notes while watching, my e-mail address is dallas.kinard@gmail.com. I'd be happy to gather up your notes and go back and forth via e-mail anytime. I've been very busy with DC, Marvel and Star Wars (let me know if interested in those franchises) so Scooby has been on the back-burner. Any notes you send will absolutely be considered! Thanks all!

Jaguaro

I’m actually a huge Star Wars and marvel fan. I watch those series all the time. Not to interested in dc tho.

These are so cool, Dallas! I'm definitely not as big of fan of Star Wars/DC/Marvel as Scooby, but I've seen a lot of the movies, so it's cool to get your take on the timeline!

Graig

4/28/2021 01:16:11 pm

Ooooo this is great! Have no interest in Star Wars at all, but I LOVE superheroes and have been MCU obsessed for - well basically since it started, and have recently gotten into DC. Thank you!!!

I don't know whether to got to Where Are You or Be Cool once I'm done with Mystery Incorporated lmao.

WildwindVampire link

4/26/2021 03:00:07 pm

I would do Where Are You I guess? But either works I suppose, we've just determined Be Cool is in a separate universe from everything else.

Graig

4/26/2021 03:06:39 pm

Thank you!! That's what I originally planned because of this, and it makes a lot of sense to me, but since Dallas placed Be Cool after Mystery Inc in the new one I wasn't sure.

WildwindVampire link

4/26/2021 03:09:40 pm

Come to think of it, I noticed that too but didn't really process that it had been moved after Mystery Incorporated. I'm not really sure what Dallas's reasoning for switching the order was there. I guess my advice would be to watch Where Are You after Mystery Inc because Be Cool is in a different continuity, but that's just my opinion! :)

Graig

4/26/2021 04:20:43 pm

Thank you! That's what I'm thinking too and what makes sense to me personally.
I'm sure Dallas has a good reason for that though.

Dallas

4/27/2021 07:55:44 am

That graphical timeline is a major work in progress so don't take anything on there as gospel yet. If Be Cool can work with Mystery as part of the same timeline, it would be nice!

Graig

4/27/2021 02:38:06 pm

Okay! Thank you haha. I will continue to stick with the one on this page for now.

WildwindVampire link

5/31/2021 07:37:50 pm

I just added "Falling Star Man!" and "A Haunt of a Thousand Voices!" to the Guess Who section.

Jaguaro

6/3/2021 07:04:35 am

Ok guys I’ve been spending a lot of time on Scooby recently and I’ve noticed some things. The puppet movie takes place around a pup named Scooby Doo. Also in Pirates Ahoy Fred has different parents so Pirates Ahoy can not be in the same timeline as mystery incorporated. Also why not put Arabian nights close to get a clue?

WildwindVampire link

6/3/2021 10:42:12 am

For some reason Dallas didn't want Mystery Map in here, though I don't remember why. Yep, Pirates Ahoy has to be in a different timeline, I agree. I suppose we could put Arabian Nights next to Get a Clue, but Arabian Nights would have to be after since the first episode shows them breaking off from the gang at the diner.

Jaguaro

6/5/2021 07:21:53 am

Yeah I’ll have to do a rewatch of Arabian nights to see. Also why couldn’t get a clue be before zombie island? In zombie island the gang has clearly broken up before zombie island (Velma at bookstore, Fred and Daphne at coast to coast, shaggy and scoob at the airport). In scrappy they clearly say Velma was at nasa and Fred was a writer so clearly this is different from zombie island.

WildwindVampire link

6/5/2021 10:02:16 am

That's a great point about Get A Clue! I love the idea, but let's see what Dallas thinks!

Harry link

6/3/2021 10:43:09 am

Can I start from the new timeline where the original series takes place

WildwindVampire link

6/3/2021 02:18:32 pm

You absolutely can!

Harry link

6/5/2021 03:13:24 am

Ok thanks alot

WildwindVampire link

6/5/2021 10:06:28 am

You're welcome :)

WildwindVampire link

6/5/2021 10:06:11 am

I added "The Movieland Monsters!" from Guess Who to the timeline.

WildwindVampire link

6/8/2021 05:43:07 pm

I added the remaining two episodes of Guess Who, "Scooby-Doo, Dog Wonder!" and "The Legend of the Gold Microphone!" to the timeline.

Jaguaro

7/17/2021 10:14:30 am

Hey Wild just checking in to see if you have considered any of my suggestions. If not totally fine just curious. I tried to email Dallas about why Arabian nights is placed after a pup but got no response so if you could explain the reasoning behind that it would be much appreciated.
All the best,
Jaguaro

WildwindVampire link

7/17/2021 10:43:44 am

Hi Jaguaro, I was also waiting for Dallas to respond here but he must be busy. I can send him an email and see if he responds to me. Thanks!

Thomas Allen Holste

7/17/2021 12:51:38 pm

Also, the reason behind the placement for "Arabian Nights" is Shaggy and Sccoby's age. They look older than they did in "Pup" but not as old as they would in "Where are You" and other productions.

I asked about that before, and got that answer, which makes sense to me. :) Hope this helps!

Jaguaro

7/18/2021 03:37:11 pm

Ok thanks Tom!

WildwindVampire link

7/19/2021 10:32:21 am

Apparently my memory is terrible because I honestly didn't remember that explanation haha. Dallas's explanation makes a lot of sense though, so I'd say I definitely agree with him there :)

Jaguaro

7/22/2021 10:09:29 am

Hello again! No offense but putting Arabian Nights after a pup named Scooby Doo is completely ridiculous. In the movie shaggy and Scooby are going to Saudi Arabia which is a foreign country (meaning they couldn’t travel by themselves if they aren’t adults) to become royal taste testers. I don’t know about you but to me royal taste testing doesn’t seem like a high school job. Also I watched Scooby Doo on Zombie Island and Shaggy clearly says “our love for food has taken us all over the world.” This is most likely what he’s talking about. I suggest you put Arabian Nights where it belongs: right before Zombie Island. I apologize that was a little heated. I’ve noticed you still have a pup and mystery incorporated in the same timeline. You should probably fix that unless you can explain how Shaggy’s dad changes and his little sister disappears. Anyways sorry I’m mad but I mean dads don’t change and high schoolers don’t get full time jobs on another continent. You guys are cool and please don’t take this as me trying to make you look bad, in fact I’m trying to make you look better!

WildwindVampire link

7/22/2021 10:33:34 am

Hi Jaguaro, you make a great point about how it's unlikely royal taste testing would be a high school job, and the difference with Shaggy's father. I'm almost thinking Pup and SDMI need to be in an alternate timeline. I will bring that up to Dallas because I agree with you that it doesn't really fit there in hindsight. Thanks so much for your feedback/suggestions as always and for trying to make our timeline look better!

Jaguaro

7/22/2021 03:54:17 pm

Hey man thanks for responding positively I was real grouchy this morning for no particular reason lol. Anyways I agree a pup named Scooby Doo shouldn’t be in the same timeline as Scooby Doo mystery incorporated. A word of advice: if you separate the two don’t put a pup in a separate timeline put MI in a separate timeline.

Tom Holste

7/22/2021 05:39:09 pm

This is just my opinion, but since "Arabian Nights" is an adaptation anyway, I took it that we're just seeing their high school production of the play. ;) So there's no actual world traveling, just Shaggy and Scooby play-acting.

I don't know if that accounts for the dads or why Magilla Gorilla is involved, but that's what makes it work for me! :D

WildwindVampire link

7/22/2021 08:10:28 pm

@Jaguaro No worries! :) Yeah, if Dallas agrees with moving it, SDMI is definitely moving to another timeline. It makes the most sense to move that one instead of Pup, given SDMI is the one that ends with its timeline rebooted.

WildwindVampire link

7/22/2021 08:11:39 pm

@Tom Holste I actually really love that idea! haha I will still check in with Dallas to see how he wants to handle it though.

WildwindVampire link

7/25/2021 04:37:52 pm

I talked with Dallas and he agreed with all of us on this. Arabian Nights has been moved directly before Zombie Island, and SDMI has been moved into an alternate timeline.

Jaguaro

7/25/2021 06:05:22 pm

Fabulous!!! Now just add the beach beastie to the alternate timeline because it has freds house from mystery incorporated!

I added Straight Outta Nowhere: Scooby-Doo Meets Courage the Cowardly Dog to the timeline at the very bottom.

Why is pup named Scooby Doo not first

This is a spoiler for SDMI, but the timeline resets at the end of the show. Dallas and I's rationale was that since the timeline completely resets, it made more sense to put everything after SDMI since nothing in that show technically happened once the timeline rebooted. Putting Pup before SDMI could imply that SDMI resetting the timeline somehow altered that show, which we didn't think made sense.

I understand though if you don't agree with this rationale, and respect your opinion.

Hey, Wildwind! It looks like there are three timelines: Alternate, Original, and Reboot. Maybe if you put the Original first, it wouldn't cause as much confusion for readers? I'm not asking to change the timelines themselves, just the placement of them. If you did Original first, you'd start with "Pup," which is what most people are expecting to see. Then after "Get a Clue," you would have SDMI in its own separate, contained timeline. Then "Be Cool" would also be its own standalone thing as a Reboot.

You don't have to, of course. I just feel bad for you, that about once a month, you have to answer the same questions in this thread because of the (understandably) confused posts about why "Pup" isn't first. :) Do what you will, though. Take care!

Hi Thomas! I really like your idea, as it does feel like a lot of people disagreed about SDMI being placed first. I'm not sure if Dallas checks this comment section much, so I'll send him an email and get back to you on if he agrees! I'm all on board with changing though. Thanks :)

11/1/2021 12:06:12 am

Alright, I talked to Dallas and he agreed with the change, so SDMI (the "Alternate Timeline") is now after Pup (the "Original Timeline")! Thanks again for the great suggestion! :)

Yeah I thought we agreed Mystery Incorporated was going at the end as a separate timeline with the beach beastie that’s why I shut up lol. It can’t be in the same timeline as what’s new Scooby Doo because we meet freds parents

WildwindVampire link

11/3/2021 12:20:50 pm

I apologize, I think I misunderstood what you were saying before. I thought you were asking Beach Beastie be at the end of the SDMI timeline (which was moved a while ago), not that SDMI should be after everything else. Regardless it's fixed now and sorry about my misunderstanding there.

A few tips for you:
1. You say curse of the 13th ghost takes place like 3 years after the 13th ghost but I mean cmon Flim flam is like at least 6 years older
2. Batman the brave and the bold should not be in front of the dynamic Scooby Doo affair because Robin is gone in the movie and the in show it’s before he leaves
3. Abracadabra Doo shows the gang go see Velmas little sister in college which means it’s at least a couple years after the gang graduates high school so it can’t be in the same year as Where Are You plus that just feels like a random placement I don’t see any reason to have a group of movies after where are you.
4. Boo brothers and the other 2 don’t have Daphne so there’s no reason they can’t be after the puppy hour
5. Assuming a -year- means New Year’s Eve occurs between the two points I’d like to point out alien Invaders takes place in the spring/summer not the winter so a year should be moved up before it.
6. This tip doesn’t really matter but Zombie Island takes place in the fall because the harvest moon which is in September
7. Any reason guess who isn’t a part of the reboot timeline?

You don’t have to use any of these tips but I would prefer reasoning against them rather than I’ll ask Dallas what he thinks and then never update me on what he said thank you for taking the time to read that!

I apologize if my previous remarks about asking Dallas what he thinks came off as dismissive. I went back and looked and see that I didn't get back to you when I said I'd talk to him in June. That was not my intention. Since this is a collaborative project though, I don't feel right just changing stuff without telling him, which is why I always say that I need to talk to him before changing things. If there's ever a time where I say I'll ask Dallas and then forget to get back to you about what he says, you're always welcome to post another comment reminding me. It's never my intention to ignore anyone.

1. It's not something I'd thought of before, but maybe it would be better to move that to the end of the timeline so it could be spaced out given Flim Flam is so much older. I would argue though that it also requires we move Return to Zombie Island and Happy Halloween, since they're all connected because of the Mystery Machine and the Sheriff.
2. I haven't seen a lot of Batman, so that wasn't something I knew about (Dallas is a huge Batman fan though). That makes sense to me and I think we should change that.
3. Great point. I hadn't thought about it being her little sister, but if she's in college then you're right, it's not after Where Are You because the gang was explicitly in high school in that show. In "The Spirit Spooked Sports Show" from The New Scooby-Doo Movies, the gang has a brief conversation about their old high schools, meaning they would have graduated, so maybe Abracadabra Doo could be after that series?
4. Fair, I guess. I don't see any problem with keeping it where it is either, since we could just say Daphne was off doing something with the rest of the gang and there isn't anything that would require those films to be after Puppy Hour. I see your point though about grouping all the Scooby/Shaggy/Scrappy stuff together and I guess I don't really care one way or the other, since both ways work.
5. Good catch. It's between Witch's Ghost which is Fall and the next year, which would mean it would have had to occur in fall or winter which doesn't work. I think the -Year- marker could be switched before that to be between Witch's Ghost and Alien Invaders.
6. That's not something I'd thought about either, but I agree.
7. The reboot timeline was created for Be Cool because that series provides alternate backstories to several events of Where Are You, like how Scooby discovered Scooby Snacks and reimagines some classic mysteries like Elias Kingston, the Caveman, Charlie the Robot, etc. Many of these reimagined stories directly conflict with the main timeline, so it needed to be in its own separate timeline. Only two episodes of Guess Who conflict with the main timeline. I wrote up a response to this above, which I'll copy/paste down here: The Batman Guess Who episode was previously set taking place during Where Are You, but I removed it because the Batman shown in that episode is too different from the one they meet in future episodes (The New Scooby-Doo Movies), the gang doesn't know Batman, and Velma's comment about Daphne not having an uncle. Between all that, there's just too many continuity issues so it got dumped in the reboot section. "Caveman on the Half Pipe!" also got put there, because Shaggy makes a brief comment about Flim Flam and the 13 Ghosts, so it can't take place before 13 Ghosts.

I would agree with all of your tips other than #7. I'm neutral on #4, as I don't think it would be a bad thing to move it, but I don't think it causes any problems where it's at either. Again, I'm not saying this to dismiss you, but I do need to check with Dallas before changing any of this stuff. I will send him an email right now and let you know as soon as I hear. I'm sorry I forgot the last time, and I will try to be better about making sure I'm responding to everyone's comments. You're always welcome to remind me though if it happens again. Thank you for all your tips.

Well sweet thank you for you time and I’m glad I could help!!! If I spot anything else I’ll let you know I understand not taking the guess who tip it doesn’t have an reasoning behind it other than the wackiness and how it seems to be a remake of the new Scooby Doo movies as be cool was a remake of WAY.

i have seen this in two places on my DVDs and on wikipedia in A Pup Named Scooby-Doo in season 1 episode 3 should be "Wanted Cheddar Alive" and episode 4 should be "The Schnook Who Took My Comic Book" and in season 3 episode 3 should be "Horror Of The Haunted Hairpiece" and episode 4 should be "Wrestler Maniac" then season 4 should be in this order episode 1 "The Were-Doo Of Doo Manor" episode 2 "Catcher On The Sly" episode 3 "The Ghost Of Mrs. Shusham" episode 4 "The Wrath Of Waitro and episode 5 "Mayhem Of The Moving Mollusk"

WildwindVampire link

I know there's a bit of uncertainty regarding the order of these episodes, and unfortunately, the DVDs are inconsistent as well. The volume sets have one order and the season sets have another. For these, I think we decided to go by the Scooby-Doo Encyclopedia for the order since there isn't consistency, but you're correct that a couple of those don't reflect the order of the encyclopedia. I switched episodes 3 and 4 around for seasons 1 and 3, but the last group is in the correct order according to the encyclopedia. Since there isn't really any consensus on what order the final episodes are in, I think it's best we just stick to the encyclopedia order since that's the most reliable source we have IMO. I'm happy to discuss it further if you don't agree, though. Thank you for pointing out those mistakes, and I switched the season 1 and 3 episodes around.

Is this Scooby-Doo Encyclopedia something I can view on line or is it a physical book that I can buy

Jaguaro

1/29/2022 12:42:20 pm

Yeah what encyclopedia? I have the Scooby Doo encyclopedia and it only has info on WAY - 13 Ghosts. Also there’s a consistent order which can be found on the wiki, Wikipedia and the dvd. Please elaborate on what you’re talking about
Thanks,

Sorry, I remembered the name of the book wrong. The encyclopedia I was talking about is the Scooby-Doo Character Reference Guide Part 2 by Joe LoCicero.

Hello it’s me (again)! I’d just like to point out that there’s way more evidence to support putting Guess Who in the reboot timeline than in the regular timeline.
1. You already have two episodes that can’t be in the regular timeline
2. Be Cool is basically a reset of Where Are You. The next show after WAY is the new Scooby Doo movies. Guess Who is basically a reboot of the new Scooby Doo movies
3. It just makes more sense because Guess Who and Be Cool are similar in a lot of ways. They’re both wacky and funny with the mystery taken less seriously.
4. You have 0 reasoning to support putting guess who in the regular timeline

I’ve been watching a lot of the Flintstones and Yogi Bear recently but I’m hoping back into Scooby Doo now to unravel some more timeline mysteries

WildwindVampire link

1/30/2022 10:14:02 am

Hi Jaguaro, our original reasoning for putting Guess Who where it's at now is it was stated by one of the character designers for the show, Tracy Mark Lee, that it's an "unofficial sequel to The New Scooby-Doo Movies." You do make a good analogy however about Guess Who being to The New Scooby-Doo Movies as Where Are You is to Be Cool. I'm on board with moving it. I just sent an email to Dallas just to make sure he is okay with it as well before finalizing.

WildwindVampire link

1/31/2022 08:24:11 pm

Dallas said he agreed with us, so I just rearranged Guess Who to be in the reboot timeline!

I’d just like to point out that you still have Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated at the top after A Pup despite it being in a separate timeline from every other piece of media except Beach Beastie. I don’t really understand the reasoning here as it just adds unneeded confusion that could he easily solved by moving it to the bottom as a separate reboot timeline

7/8/2022 11:03:40 am

Hello! I’m back for more once again
Some things to note:
1. A Pup Named Scooby Doo episodes 3 and 4 are accidentally mixed up. I believe this may have been brought up before but I can’t remember the reasoning

2. You can delete the new timeline over Where Are You because you moved Mystery Incorporated to the bottom

WildwindVampire link

7/9/2022 10:34:51 am

Hey Jaguaro!

1. My explanation was a couple comments up, but since the Pup Named Scooby-Doo DVDs had two different orders for the episode (the volume sets have Wanted Cheddar Alive as episode 4, and the season sets have it as episode 3), we decided to go by the Scooby-Doo Character Reference Guide by Joe LoCicero, since it was written in 1995 and is the closest point of historical reference that we have to figuring out the order. That guide lists the episodes in the order that they're in now.

2. Oops, sorry about that. I just deleted the "New Timeline" above Where Are You, as well as the "Original Timeline" above Pup since we no longer need labels for the timelines given SDMI isn't up there anymore.

No worries about the double comment, I deleted the extra two comments.

I think Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?, and the new Scooby movies (Straight Outta Nowhere: Scooby-Doo Meets Courage The Cowardly Dog; Scooby-Doo! The Sword And The Scoob; and SCOOB!) feels more like they're on the original timeline. So can I ask, why they got placed on the reboot timeline? I'm genuinely curious about what's the reason behind this decision :)

WildwindVampire link

7/18/2022 10:15:48 pm

Hi! We originally had Guess Who in the reboot timeline until recently, but we changed it in January because someone suggested that Guess Who was a reboot of The New Scooby-Doo Movies similarly to how Be Cool is a reboot of Where Are You. You can see the exchange that led to us changing it a few comments up, on January 29. There are some continuity errors as well, such as Velma saying she didn't know Daphne had an uncle in "What a Night, for a Dark Knight!" when they met Uncle Maxwell in "Never Ape an Ape Man," plus them catching all those villains that they already caught in "One-Minute Mysteries."

For SCOOB!, the reason we placed it in the reboot section is because it provides a different origin story from Scooby-Doo Goes Hollywood, which is in the main timeline. There's also some differences in Blue Falcon and Dynomutt as compared to their other appearances.

For The Sword and the Scoob, we put it in reboot section of the timeline, because there is a very brief scene in which a clip from the intro from Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! is shown (this is during the scene where the gang is sent back in time by the ghost of Morgan La Fey). Unfortunately since Be Cool is in the reboot timeline, this is affected as well. With Courage, I don't know if there were any continuity errors, but it sort of felt like it was connected/had a similar tone to Sword and the Scoob.

If you think any of this should be changed, we're absolutely open to suggestions! Thank you! :)

Sorry for the late reply. I keep forgetting to respond to this.

We chose not to include the episode with Johnny Bravo, since it's not officially a part of the Scooby franchise given it is a Johnny Bravo episode that Scooby and the gang guest star in.

I updated the timeline with Velma. Velma takes place in an alternate timeline that is unconnected to any of the other series (which becomes pretty obvious when you watch the show haha).

Justin Knobalauch

1/27/2023 10:11:19 am

Under Scooby-Doo & Scrappy-Doo (The Richie Rich/Scooby-Doo Show) there is an episode 1.13: "Rocky Mountain Yiiiii!" Now i think that should go up the Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo because that series is missing it 13th episode unless somebody can explain why it is where it is

WildwindVampire link

1/27/2023 03:44:40 pm

I think we initially put it there because it takes place in December, and since an episode close to it ("Chinese Food Factory") took place during Chinese New Year which is January, we just put them together. However, looking at our main spreadsheet on Google Docs, it looks like "Rocky Mountain Yiiiii!" was put with the rest of The Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show episodes, so I moved it back. Thanks for pointing that out!

Here are a few things I did not see In the timeline witch I may have overlooked and they may be there there are a couple movies missing from your list that I thought I saw missing I may have overlooked them if so ignore this comment and have a nice day I noticed that Scooby Doo and the witches ghost is not on the list and that Scooby Doo and the Martians are not on there again you may have updated it and it's probably up there just thought I'd mention it

WildwindVampire link

1/31/2023 12:54:26 pm

Hey Colin, both of those movies are on there. I assume you meant "Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders" instead of Scooby-Doo and the Martians, and if so, it's on there.
