Now that we've actually done the best baseball episode poll (instead of the "worst baseball episode" poll that I accidentally included in the original Sports Winner's Circle Poll on May 15), let's try this again haha. I know the last poll ended in a tie, but I imagine more votes will probably go to "The Unnatural" and prevent that. I can't wait to finally see what people's favorite sports episode is!
Here are the results from last week's poll: What is your favorite episode that takes place at a beach? Beach Beastie - 14 A Clue for Scooby-Doo - 12 Aloha, Scooby-Doo! - 12 The Secret of Shark Island - 7 Revenge of the Man Crab - 7 Some Fred Time - 5 A Creepy Tangle at the Bermuda Triangle - 4 Hassle in the Castle - 3 She Sees Sea Monsters by the Sea Shore - 3 The Curse of Half-Beard's Booty - 3 A Tiki Scare Is No Fair - 2 The Creepy Heap from the Deep - 2 Twenty Thousand Screams Under the Sea - 2 Long John Scrappy - 2 No Sharking Zone - 2 Reef Grief - 2 South Seas Scare - 0 Scooby Dude - 0 LEGO Scooby-Doo: Blowout Beach Bash - 0 Night of the Upsetting Shorts - 0

I already wrote up my rankings in May, so I'll just copy/paste them again here and substitute out "Scooby Pinch Hits" for the correct episode, "The Unnatural."

I was about to type up why I chose diamonds are a ghouls best friend because I've only seen that and grand prix race in full, but then I remembered, isn't the spirited spooked sports show supposed to be on here? I LOVE that one!

I love that one too! It's one of my favorite sports episodes! :) Unfortunately, it didn't win the "miscellaneous sports" poll so it didn't make it to this final round. "Diamonds Are a Ghoul's Best Friend" beat it by five votes. Here's the link to the results of that poll: https://scoobysnax1.weebly.com/blog/weekly-poll-128

@Wildwind, originally I voted for The Loch Ness Mess until I changed my mind for reasons above so I will vote for Grand Prix Race, so letting you know if you need to delete that original vote

I definitely agree with you about "The Ghost that Sacked the Quarterback." It's a good episode, but not the strongest the show has to offer.

Ok good to know about voting 9/5/2022 11:28:26 am
Oh okay, that totally makes sense. The episode does take a while to get set up, but I actually like all the antics at the beginning with the Globetrotters. Stuff like how Bobby Joe is asked to turn the wheel around, then physically dismantles the wheel and puts it on the other side, is right up my alley in terms of humor lol. I love stuff that's so ridiculous that it's funny, so I think that's part of why the episode worked so much for me despite taking a while to get going.

Yeah, I prefer the scenes on the boat to the basketball scenes I think. Like, the basketball scenes are tolerable and decent I guess, I just would’ve rather seen more of the other stuff in its place 9/5/2022 05:41:37 pm
Honestly I didn't even mind the basketball scenes that much because they were so ridiculous, plus there was the plot point of the gang trying to keep the Globetrotters awake. If it were just ten straight minutes of basketball without that plot of them trying to keep everyone awake, I don't think I would have enjoyed it as much.
Matt

Let me ask you this: would you trade the basketball scenes for more time on the island or the boat? Because that is how I kind of where I am with it, where I would want more in those settings 9/5/2022 09:57:58 pm
Oh, absolutely. I enjoy every part of the episode, but if I had to pick my least favorite part, it'd definitely be the basketball scenes. The boat and especially the island scenes are much better, but I still enjoy the basketball scenes for what they are I guess.
Matt
9/5/2022 11:40:50 pm
That makes sense, and I can enjoy the basketball scenes for what they are as well to an extent. Like, I won't skip over them when watching the episode, but I really feel like using that time better could've really elevated the episode for me to how good many people here seem to see it 9/6/2022 12:58:16 pm
I definitely agree with you that using that basketball scene time for more time on the island or the boat would have really elevated the episode.

I went with WrestleMania Mystery. That one has the best ending.

Although it's not my favorite option here, I agree the ending is fun. :)

Spooky Case of the Grand Prix Race is easy #1. Top 3 best episode of all time material. Everything is executed brilliantly. I've pondered a few times if I adore it so much just cuz I'm a huge F1 fan lol, but I don't think so. It's genuinely fantastic, what else can I say?

Like I mentioned in response to Matt's comment, it was tough not voting for this one because it's such a great episode. This would have easily gotten my vote if it were in another poll, but since my favorite episode is here, I can't not vote for it haha.

Loch Ness Mess definitely. Not only was it just a classic feeling episode but it also featured the Harlem Globetrotters! Even though it’s not exactly a “sports” episode, I prefer it that way. It leaves a bigger focus on the mystery. My favorite part was when they was at the boat rental place and they all ganged up on Winslow and Selby for not letting them rent boats. I don’t know why, but so always thought that was funny lol!

Glad to see some love for "The Loch Ness Mess"! :) I like your point about how it still works as a sports episode even though there's more focus on the mystery. The part that always amused me was the ghosts locking THEMSELVES inside the cabin and saying there's no escape, as we can see the rest of the gang escaping through the woods lol. Yeah, I'd be up for another 43-minute series too if the writing was decent!

I noticed that too when the ghosts locked themselves in the cabin. I was so confused! Lol! Maybe it was a really weird plot point that they forgot to change. 9/5/2022 05:39:28 pm
That's what I'm thinking; either that or the animators got confused and animated the wrong characters in the cabin haha.

It was honestly funny that they were all pulling a complete Karen on Winslow and Selby, especially SHAGGY trying to get their license revoked for closing their store lol

Hahaha apparently Fred's sassiness in that season rubbed off on the others and made them all Karens lol.

You know what, I'll change it up and go for Menacing Clown.

I'll be interested to see if that wins again like it did last time. I feel like "The Unnatural" will offset that a bit, but I'm not entirely sure.

As someone who used to dislike WNSD, I've not came around to liking it more. And the episodes of WNSD in this poll are actually very good. Sadly, my pick wasn't one of them. I honestly don't like the globetrotters are guest stars so those are out. The ghost that sacked the quarterback, great episode but not the best. Grand Prix race, classic. I don't remember it 100% as I gota rewatch but ima go with that one. Even thought Wrestlemania Mystery is in my top 10 Scooby Movies Of all time, I'm going with Grand Prix

I agree that the WNSD episodes that made this poll are both really solid ones. I also have the same question as Becker as it's not really clear from your post if you like or dislike the series haha.

Yeah I feel like that was a typo, because it's sandwiched right between "used to dislike" and "actually very good" in regards to WNSD, which implies a change in opinion and now liking the show.

I used to dislike WNSD now I've come around to liking it more because it also has some pretty good plots, monsters and some reoccurring characters. Leave a Reply. |
