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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
