This lines up fairly easy for me. I haven't seen "Til Death."

3. The Wedding Witch of Wainsly Hall!
Even though it's last, I did actually enjoy this Guess Who episode quite a bit (except the "country boy" stuff) and thought the darker tone was cool.

2. I Scooby Dooby Do
Great Be Cool episode! One of my favorites from its season and I thought the villain was cool.

1. Wedding Bell Boos
Decently easy #1 for me. Love the New England scenery, and the villain was really cool. I also enjoyed seeing all of Shaggy and Scooby's relatives. I have fond memories of watching the VHS tape as a kid (which I actually just rewatched it the other day for the first time in a long time).

Agreed with everything you said except I can't say I enjoy any Guess Who ep

Very easy for me. Haven’t seen and won’t see Til Death

3. What do you think?

2. I Scooby Dooby Do- Really good Be Cool episode. I’d say it is a first season standout

1. Wedding Bell Boos- Very easy choice. One of my favorite episodes of all time, and my favorite episode of the Scrappy era. Like Wildwind, I love the New England setting and scenery. If I am going to watch a Scooby Doo episode just for a light and fun time, this is one of the ones I am going to go to

While Wedding Bell Boos is great, it's never quite stood out to me as an all-timer ep. I prefer quite a few other Scrappy era episodes

Episodes like Happy Birthday Scooby Doo and Night Ghoul of Wonderworld come close, but I’d take Wedding Bell Boo’s over them all, I just have such a joyous time with it

"Wedding Bell Boos" is definitely a go-to episode for me too. I've seen it more than any other episodes in the series.

A Spooky Little Ghoul Like You comes in at third. Falls behind the top two both in terms of how much of a wedding episode it feels like and just how much I like them. Solid episode though

Wow, seriously only 3 wedding episodes after all these years, crazy. HANG ON, doesn't A Spooky Little Ghoul Like You fall into this category?

Fair point, I think it was a big enough part of the episode to include. I just added it as an option in case anybody wants to vote it. I'd personally rank it between "The Wedding Witch of Wainsly Hall!" and "I Scooby Dooby Do" at #3.

Huzzah, part of what I love most about these polls is finding any episodes/films that have been missed 🤣.

Lol! I'm glad you enjoy that, and I appreciate you and anyone else pointing out whenever I've accidentally missed an option.

This poll is kind of tough.

Wedding Bell Boos: It nice to see Shaggy and Scooby’s family together.

I Scooby Dooby Doo:
Really fun wedding episode with a lot of humor. I like the idea of the gang going to their friends wedding.

Wedding Witch of Wainsly Hall:
They did a really good job with the spooky atmospheric tone in this episode.

Agreed that they did a great job with the atmosphere in "The Wedding Witch of Wainsly Hall!"

5. Wedding Bell Boos
Sorry to everyone, I know this is beloved, but I find this so corny and I have beef with the portrayals of Scooby's relatives and here even Shaggy's relatives feel off to me. I'm literally sorry because I know it's bad to see someone dislike something I love, but I can't stand this.

4. A Spooky Little Ghoul Like You
Also, while there are some standouts for me in this season, the whole of the 80s Scrappy era of Scooby-Doo is the worst for me, half of it is worse than Velma. I actually like Scrappy-Doo as a character concept, but the era was just weaker in my opinion. Even if 13 Ghosts was much better with him, it still didn't escape many other problems that the series went with, and this episode is in no way a standout for its season.

3. Til Death
Unlike this one. Three Scrappy episodes in a row, can you believe it? And this one manages to be cynical and destructive about it, which is worse in some ways than the two innocent dumb fun episodes I put this above, but still, I actually found more enjoyment in viewing this, even if this is also low on the Scooby-scale, since there are actual twists and turns, and as bad as the execution is, in the end, I have found some interesting ideas explored in the Velma series.

2. The Wedding Witch of Wainsly Hall!
Now this one is amazing in my opinion. Unlike the bottom three, I would actually put this one high, even if it was among much better episodes, since I enjoyed the setting and the comedy that much.

1. I Scooby Dooby Do
But this one is special. Highlighted by Shaggy's mystery recapping best man speech, the whole story utilized the wedding theme in all the best ways. An excellent Be Cool episode, and where my vote went.

5. That's fair, you're entitled to your opinions. :)

4. I quite like "A Spooky Little Ghoul Like You" and would consider it a standout of its season, but I totally agree with you that the Scrappy series were generally of lesser quality than most other eras of the franchise. I definitely don't consider it worse than Velma though; that's a very high bar for me lol.

1. I do love this one a lot and if I didn't have so much nostalgia over "Wedding Bell Boos," or if it were up against any other episode from that series (other than maybe "Scoobygeist"), I would have for sure voted this.
