 On his Instagram account, Tracy Mark Lee, the character designer of Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? revealed that there were plans for episodes featuring country singer Dolly Parton and Hollywood actor Mel Brooks. However, apparently both stars declined when they were asked, among a few others that were not mentioned. A character design was apparently created for Dolly, however, which can be seen above. In addition, in his post, Tracy gave some of details behind how character designs for the show were made, sharing that sometimes three or four people worked on a single guest star design at once. Other times, a photo of the celebrity was simply copied, with Jessica Biel being cited as an example.
This makes me wonder which of the celebrities they did choose were substituted in for Dolly and Mel. If KISS being substituted out for The Hex Girls gives us any clue, I would have to guess the Kacey Musgraves episode was originally planned to be Dolly Parton, and perhaps Steve Buscemi was originally going to be Mel Brooks.

Dang, if the Dolly Parton one had gone through, it probably would’ve been my favorite of the show just because Dolly is there. Oh what could’ve been

I wish there would have been a Dolly Parton episode! It would have been one of my favorites and I could have seen it dethroning the Hex Girls for me, possibly!

Does anybody know or have an idea of what monsters would have been in the episodes? 1/6/2022 09:07:23 pm
I agree it would have been cool to see Mel in an episode. Unfortunately, the only thing that Tracy Mark Lee announced is that they asked those two celebs and they declined. He didn't give any info as to if the episodes ever entered production or not.

They declined? Why? were they not interested? 1/6/2022 10:00:58 pm
Tracy didn't confirm why; he just said "they both politely declined" so they must not have been interested for some reason.

Well this is a very interesting piece of information. 1/6/2022 09:09:52 pm
It would have been cool to have them both appear. It seems like it was decided very early on that the show would only be two seasons and 52 episodes, so I imagine what happened is they just ended up asking two other guest stars, who we did get to see in the show. It's not confirmed who those two people are, but my guess is Steve Buscemi replaced Mel Brooks and Kacey Musgraves replaced Dolly Parton. Mel could have been substituted in for Steve, and Dolly in for Kacey, and they could have had essentially been the same plot.

Thats a down right pitty because I had just came up a list of new episode ideas and new guess stars for a potential third season for SD&GW?

These sound like really good ideas for episodes. Could you give us descriptions of the episodes and what the monsters would be? I’m just very intrigued.

It might take some time and patience for me to think up all the details but I will see what I can do.

Wait a minute! Nancy Drew is a SD clone? How can you tell? 1/8/2022 06:07:54 pm
I don't think Becker was saying that Nancy Drew is a Scooby clone; they were just saying it could be like the The New Scooby-Doo Movies episodes that included Scooby clones (i.e. Speed Buggy, Josie and the Pussycats), since Nancy Drew is centered around solving mysteries just like Scooby is. At least that's how I interpreted Becker's comment.
Becker
1/10/2022 12:45:54 am
@Jakob I said it would feel like the New Movies episodes that had "Scooby clones".

This episode sounds pretty interesting. The ghost of university student that died in an experiment is pretty unique. It also sounds like Mystery 101. Both take place at a university and Velma is at the university with her friends. The monster is someone related to the university. Velma would be driven to solve this mystery and save the university just like in Mystery 101.

Shadowsooby you just repeated the same comment twice. 4/5/2022 02:22:39 pm
I removed the duplicate comment. It may have happened because I think a few legitimate comments accidentally were deleted when I was erasing the spam of that Miguel person (the guy who was asking nonsense questions a few months back). I reinstated all of the accidentally erased comments shortly after I realized what happened, but it's possible ShadowScooby might have made the comment again in the meantime thinking his other one didn't post.

Thank you, and I forgot to mention that Simone is also included in the episode too. 1/12/2022 05:36:17 pm
That's awesome! I wish she would have appeared again towards the end of season 2. I was surprised she didn't!
Shadowscooby
1/14/2022 05:17:06 pm
I like your idea for the Gordon Ramsey episode. The the name of the game show Cook It or Lose It is a clever title. A meatloaf monster is a an original food villain. It would love to see how Ramsey interacts with the gang.

Now here is the third description for Season 3 episode 3 1/12/2022 05:41:54 pm
I love this idea! I'm a big fan of Sabrina, so I think it would be fun to see them team-up in a full-length episode. Surprisingly, there is actually a Sabrina/Scooby crossover in the 2002 Sabrina the Teenage Witch show. I'm not sure if you've ever seen it before, but I really enjoyed it!
Jakob123
1/12/2022 08:38:41 pm
I actually have seen that clip before on youtube and your right it was pretty enjoyable.
Shadowscooby

I saw some episode of Sabrina The Teenage Witch so this episode sounds cool. Ooh, a phantom witch doctor that’s nice. When’s the last time we had a witch doctor villain.

This episode sounds great and the plot sounds similar to Block Long Hong Kong Terror. Is the dragon some type of evils ancient dragons lord that practices martial arts because if he is that would be cool.

This sounds like a cool episode and I imagine there would be a lot of meta references given Sarah Michelle Gellar played Daphne in the live-action films :)
Shadowscooby

This episode sounds so cool. Sarah Michelle Gellar who played Daphne in the two live action films guest starring in this episode is a very good idea.

I'm not familiar with the Kratt Brothers, but this sounds like a nice premise. It's cool that Yogi and Boo-Boo make a cameo appearance!
Shadowscooby
1/21/2022 10:19:56 am
This episode sounds like it will be fun. The Kratt brothers would be really good guest stars. The Kratt brother solved mysteries in the Wild Kratts. Them solving a mystery with the gang will be perfect.
Jakob123
1/16/2022 09:47:11 pm
I am guessing you never watched Zoboomafoo when you were a kid did you? 1/17/2022 09:53:40 am
Is that where the Kratt Brothers are from? I have heard of Zoboomafoo actually and have maybe seen an episode, but it's been a long time.

Oh yes I'm sure they definitely would.
Shadowscooby
1/21/2022 04:21:36 pm
This episode sounds like this episode would be great because its another mystery centered around Halloween and it’s a crossover with Goosebumps and the author, RL Stine. I used to watch Goosebumps a lot.

I love this idea! It would be fun to have Dolly in a Christmas episode! I like the twist at the end that it's a villain they've caught in the past.
Jakob123

I heard she did a christmas album once, that is where I got my idea from. 1/18/2022 10:04:56 pm
I just looked it up, and apparently she did three Christmas albums! One in the 1980s, another in the 1990s, and one that was just released two years ago in 2020.

This sounds like it would be a good Christmas episode and Dolly Parton is in it. She’d did a lot Christmas albums and starred in some Christmas movies. It’s interesting that the culprit would be someone that they caught in the past. 1/22/2022 04:07:41 pm
I haven't seen that particular episode of The Looney Tunes Show, but that sounds like it would be an amazing Scooby-Doo villain!

Very cool sounding episode! I always thought it was neat they appeared in "Heart of Evil" from Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, so it would be fun to have them guest star in a full episode.
Shadowscooby

This sounds like a very awesome episode. After seeing Jonny Quest twice in Mystery Incorporated, it would be nice if there was a an episode where they actually interacted with gang.

Shadowscooby

This sounds like a cool episode. They setting would be original they never solved a mystery in a greenhouse if I’m not mistaken. A mold monster is a unique Scooby villain.

Fun Fact: This episode shares the same title with an episode of Growing Up Creepie. I don’t know if any of you watched it but it’s about a girl that was raised by bugs and adjust to life and there were some spooky and supernatural episodes. 1/26/2022 10:02:45 pm

@Wildwind It was indeed a very creepy show. It’s pretty much like a cartoon version of Goosebumps. There’s also an episode that parodied Scooby Doo, called Children of Pumpkin Patch. I would recommend watching it and giving a review. 1/27/2022 08:44:42 am
I'll have to check it out! Is it available on any streaming service?
