So I have a bit of a confession to make...I screwed up. In the sports winner's circle poll back in May, a few people mentioned in the comments how surprised they were that "Scooby Pinch Hits" won the poll for best baseball episode. I was looking back through some of the old polls recently so that I could organize all the poll questions in a single list for quick reference, so I didn't ever accidentally ask the same question twice. In doing this, I unfortunately discovered that those of you who were surprised were right... "Scooby Pinch Hits" did not win the poll for best baseball episode. It actually won the poll for the WORST baseball episode lol. To my surprise, I realized that somehow we never actually did a best baseball episode poll. So sorry about mixing that up! Now, we're going to do what we should have done this spring and finally have a best baseball episode poll lol. I haven't decided whether to re-do the Winner's Circle poll with that option added in, but if anyone has any opinions on if they want to re-do it, let me know in the comments!
"Creepy Cruise" comes out on top as last week's winner with 20 votes! But Scooby-Doo and Courage the Cowardly Dog came straight outta nowhere to take second place with 11 votes, tied with "When the Cicada Calls." "The Creepy Creature of Vulture's Claw" came in third place with 9 votes, but Scooby-Doo in Where's My Mummy? was close behind in fourth place with 8 votes! "The Exterminator" came in fifth with 6 votes, "Greece Is the Word" sixth with 4 votes, Ghoul School was seventh with 3 votes, and "The Bee Team" was eighth with 2 votes. In last place, there wasn't even a shadow of a chance of "Me and My Shadow Demon" winning, as it only received a single vote.

Nice rankings! I would say they're pretty similar to mine.

None are particularly amazing. Grand Scam is quite good though, gets my vote. The Unnatural and Dugout are decent. Rest I don't care at all.

The three you listed are my top 3 options. "The Unnatural" got my vote, then "Grand Scam," then "The Demon of the Dugout," but the rest are just alright IMO.

The Unnatural is the number 1 baseball episode.

Agreed, and I have a feeling that's the option that will win!

It’s Grand Scam for me. In my opinion Grand Scam is one of the best episodes of the entire series for Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! The Unnatural is definitely a close second and The 7th Inning Scare! is 3rd for me.

I'd go for the last one but then I don't hate all sports and Daphne in thje Moth outfit was pretty awesome. Also, sorry to possibly destroy your poll plans but I feel we need this one ASAP, if due to cost cutting measures Warner Bros only releases one of the following, which would you want to watch the most:

Don't you mean Mystery Pups instead of Holiday Haunt? The latter is unfortunately officially canned already, so wouldn't mean anything to have in that poll.

Feel free to include Mystery Pups too but this is more a hypothetical situation as I fear the other two will get canned. Just seen on twitter that even in spite of Holiday Haunt getting cancelled thy still recorded the score yesterday as the band and stage were already booked!

It's also to see what people want to see the most. 8/7/2022 09:14:53 pm
No worries, I think that's a great idea for a poll and I will do it next week! I can include all the possible options: Mystery Pups, Velma, Holiday Haunt, and Krypto Too.

I think you've made an oops there, it clearly states I hate baseball as I'm British and Cricket and Rounders are our bat and ball sports, thus my reasoning is sound. Also, Daphne annoying Fred in the mascot costume is hilarious.

You know... that makes a LOT more sense! I was baffled that Scooby Pinch Hits won best baseball episode... so this explains a lot. I was like... how the heck did THIS episode win?

I guess I'm in the minority with my pick. The Unnatural to me is the WNSD equivalent of Ghost Who Sacked the Quarterback. Meanwhile Grand Slam is upper half of BCSD, one of the best Shaggy centric episodes in a long time, nice showcase of Shaggy and Scooby's bond, good humor (from the gang at least), nice change of formula with the different splitting up, and one of the best Daphneisms of the day for sure (those can be very hit or miss for me, but this episode hits it real hard) which leads to that highlight scene with the gang. Monster is generic, culprit annoying and mystery predictable, but hey it's still very good.

I love the Daphneism in this episode as well and how Shaggy focused the episode is. The humor is definitely very good. I didn't mind the villain or the mystery, but I also didn't consider this one a standout from BCSD, whereas "The Unnatural" was definitely a standout sports episode to me.

I did like this episode as well. I wouldn’t call it one of the very best of the series, but I do like it. I understanding thinking the culprit was annoying, but I won’t lie that I laughed when he was showing his made up baseball card and talked about having the most strikeouts while bunting 8/8/2022 01:16:15 pm
Tbh, I kinda thought that was funny too lol. It fell in the "so ridiculous it's hilarious" category for me. 8/7/2022 09:23:10 pm
I was really happy to see "Creepy Cruise" win too! Ghoul School and "The Exterminator" were above it for me personally, but it's still an incredible episode and definitely a great winner.

Really, for me, the top 3 are pretty far ahead of the other 2, even if there isn’t really a truly bad episode in the pack

Now looking back, I believe that was my bad after stating we'd be getting a best baseball episode poll and as such Wildwood changed it up
Reply

Haha that's okay, it was my own fault for not remembering that I'd changed it.

The unnatural is my favourite because it's just so iconic to me. Back when you couldn't watch the episodes online I'd rent out DVDs every week that had about 5 WNSD episodes on them and the DVD with this episode is the one I rented the most. I watched it so much when I was little.

That's really cool that you rented the DVD over and over to watch the episode!

Despite Holiday Haunt being canned, Tony Cervone said that the score was being recorded yesterday since the stage was paid for and everything.

Thanks so much for this info! It's really sweet they got to record the score even though the film was cancelled. It would be interesting if the film somehow is posted on the Internet despite not being released to HBO Max.

Interesting that you didn't like any of them except the first one. Honestly, "7th Inning Scare" and "Scooby Pinch Hits" are probably interchangeable for me. They both just kind of exist; they're not bad, but there are definitely much better episodes in both of those series.

I liked how this episode was more centered around Shaggy too. The comedy was great in this episode. I quite liked the villain. I enjoyed the different split up arrangement as well; it was nice to have some variety there. Daphne's quirk of the week with being a mascot was really cute. The narration bit and the "poor life choices" comment were both super funny.

Hey Wildwind, I thought of a poll idea. I was thinking the last day of summer, you can do a favorite beach poll episode/movie.
Reply
8/9/2022 08:36:51 am
That's a great idea! I have a couple of polls planned for next week and the following week, but I think it's safe to say I can slip this in at the end of the month. :) Thanks!
