This was something I'd been thinking about recently. It's kind of interesting how this happened a bunch of times in the classic era, but to my memory, hasn't happened at all in the classic era. I'm curious to see which of these episodes is people's favorite!

This is kind of a weird trope, so I've forgotten any, don't hesitate to let me know in the comments! There are a couple I chose not to include (i.e. they do technically meet the fortune teller, even if she turns out to be in disguise), so if you think I've missed one that should count, feel free to drop a comment.

Since February, we've been doing an ongoing poll series to determine the best Scooby-Doo recurring character. The results to the final round ended with a somewhat surprising (but imo very deserving) winner! Vincent Van Ghoul wins the title of best Scooby-Doo recurring character, with just a single vote lead over Scooby-Dum!

Who is your favorite Scooby-Doo recurring character?
Vincent Van Ghoul - 13
Scooby-Dum - 12
Thorn - 8
Sheriff Stone - 8
The Harlem Globetrotters - 5
Red Herring - 4
Del Chillman - 3
Yogi Bear - 3
Captain Cutler (Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!) - 1
Dusk - 1
Gibby Norton - 1
Simone - 1

Usually I rank these based on the theme, but I'm giving quality of the episodes more weight here than just the unmasking/culprit.

9. Sandy Duncan's Jekyll and Hydes - A decent episode, but it never stood out to me much for its series. I'm really excited to potentially see the missing scene though. I had a conversation with the people looking for the scenes on Reddit, and supposedly they might be getting some tapes tomorrow that could have the King Kong scene on it. It would be amazing if we could finally see the scene after all these years!

8. The Ghostly Creep from the Deep - I really like the inn setting! Of course, stanning Frugal Redbeard also boosts this one a few points lol. I've always found it odd there was no unmasking in this episode.

7. To Switch a Witch - One of the most enjoyable episodes of The Scooby-Doo Show season 3. The villain and mystery are excellent, and I really like the twist at the end.

6. Spooky Space Kook - Now it's becoming a challenge as we're getting to the all-time classics! I enjoy the airfield setting, although it is middle-of-the-road for me in terms of Where Are You. The Space Kook is an absolutely epic villain! The culprit isn't exactly as epic (the "next-door neighbor" thing feels a bit lazy, if I'm being honest), but overall this is still a very strong episode.

5. Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Werewolf - Although I prefer the other Where Are You werewolf in this poll, I love the old mill setting, and the switch of the typical dynamic with Fred, Daphne and Velma running into the villain instead of Shaggy and Scooby.

4. The Haunted Carnival - I've mentioned it before, but I love how this episode manages to make a setting in complete daylight so creepy! Having the ghostly strongman be the actual strongman isn't exactly innovative, but some of the ghosts are neat, and I love Dick Van Dyke's energy here.

3. Hassle in the Castle - Great Where Are You episode! I think this is one of the best instances of the culprit being someone they never met. The person being a magician makes a lot of sense, and isn't just "oh, hey, it's this random guy!" like a few of the other ones here are.

2. The Mystery of Haunted Island - Curly volunteered, remember? lol

The explanation for the mystery falls into the cop-out category for sure, but the execution is really cool! One of my most nostalgic episodes of The New Scooby-Doo Movies.

1. Guess Who's Knott Coming to Dinner - Amazing episode that handles this trope really well imo. Having it be the nieces and nephews is something you could have logically guessed, even if it isn't the obvious solution. I think it is both the best episode here and the best handling of this trope.

@Becker You beat me to it haha. I saw Boo Brothers #1 Fan's comment that I'd missed it earlier and added it to the poll, but I didn't have a chance to respond to the comments until now. I'd rank it at #8 between "To Switch a Witch" and "The Ghostly Creep from the Deep." I like the Ghost Clown and his unique plan a lot, and the setting is great. This roster is so solid though that it has a lot of competition.

There's at the very least 5 episodes I'd happily give this to lmao. This is one of the best rosters in a while; I have to vote based on the premise of how the roster was formed, cuz I'm struggling to decide here. To Switch a Witch and Guess Who's Knott Coming to Dinner are the only ones that actually manage to create a plot where the eventual culprits could never feasibly be shown before being captured (all the other options could somehow incorporate the culprits on-screen in some way without dismantling the whole story), so they get extra points. And on top of that, the former does a better job of creating a less obvious mystery solution than the latter, so my vote goes to To Switch a Witch.

My rankings were kind of a mix between quality of the episode and how well it was executed, but I totally agree those two were the strongest examples of that trope. "The Mystery of Haunted Island" and "Hassle in the Castle" are the other two that stand out to a lesser extent, since the culprits are at least tied into some other aspect introduced earlier in the episode (the Globetrotters' game and the magician's accessories). The rest are basically "hey, it's this random person we just made up!" lol.

I can't say I love it at all cuz it does away with the whole aspect of the show of there being a mystery to solve with suspects and everything. If the culprit is someone you've never seen or known about, then that's a terrible mystery execution. And I say this despite really liking or loving on the episodes on this list.

I actually am quite fond of all of the options here, maybe a little surprising because this trope doesn't come to mind for me as a favorite, but these episodes are all really good, to varying extents of course

9. Sandy Duncan's Jekyll and Hyde- This one finishes last for two reasons. The first being that while it is still very good, the other episodes are better. The other being that the villain execution was maybe a bit weaker here. The highlight of this episode for me was the expansive movie sets providing a dynamic setting more so than the mystery

8. The Mystery of Haunted Island- Really solid episode here, but its biggest problem is the mystery/villains' plan itself. I found it to be very underwhelming and silly to the point where it takes the episode down a little bit for me. I think the villain execution is the weakest of any episode here. Still though, I am judging more on episode quality than the topic of the poll itself here, and this episode is still really, really good, due to the setting, the spooky stuff going on, and the Globetrotters

7. Hassle in the Castle- My opinions on Hassle in the Castle have been a rollercoaster over the years. Was my original least favorite episode of the series as a small kid due to my frustrations about it constantly being on all of my DVDs over some of my childhood favorites, such as Bedlam in the Bigtop. When I was a bit older it had gone up a bit, then back down a bit, then gone up a lot, then back down a bit, and now it is back down to one of the weakest episodes of the series for me. I like it more than the usual suspects, Decoy For a Dognapper and Never Ape an Ape Man, but that is probably it nowadays. Still though, I like all Where Are You episodes, even including those two usual suspects. I would actually say Hassle in the Castle is one of the better examples of executing the trope in the poll here in the way it paints a picture of who is responsible for this, but I do like the other episodes here better

6. The Ghostly Creep From the Deep- Even putting aside my bias towards Frugal Redbeard, I do think this one gets just a bit overlooked in the conversation of Globetrotters episodes. It is not better than The Loch Ness Mess, and while I prefer it to Mystery of Haunted Island, I certainly understand and get it why most don't. But this still deserves more credit as well as it is still a really fun episode. The inn setting is great, and it has more of an adventure feel to it that works really well

5. Guess Who's Knott Coming to Dinner- Rewatched this one just yesterday actually, and it is certainly an inspired selection for this topic, though there are still four others here I prefer. Don Knotts is Don Knotts, I really like the ghost design here, and the setting is phenomenal. Though, my main problem with this episode is still that I wish there was a bit more focus and time on the mystery part of it

4. The Haunted Carnival- The past four have been borderline top 100 episodes for me that could go either way depending on when I were to update my list, but we are now at the point of episodes that are solidly in, and The Haunted Carnival remains a true highlight of The New Scooby Doo Movies. Dick Van Dyke is truly phenomenal in his role, and like Wildwind mentioned, the way they made the carnival so creepy in broad daylight is one of my favorite aspects of the episode. It required really strong execution, but the fact that it pulled it off added another level of liminality to it because you wouldn't expect it to be so creepy with it so bright outside. If it was at night, it would probably be more compaeable to Funland, which is a comparison it likely would not win, but the Haunted Carnival really feels like it is one of a kind as is

3. Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Werewolf- This is kind of an episode where it has become so popular to say that it is underrated that you wonder whether it is really underrated or not anymore, but regardless, this one is a gem. The mill setting is super strong and is just really a classic through and through.

2. To Switch a Witch- To me, this is by far the most compelling Scooby Doo Show season 3 episode. It is an episode that either avoids all of my criticisms of that season, or takes those things and somehow turn them into strengths, such as Shaggy and Scooby being chased around only this time by a crowd of citizens on a witch hunt! Truly an all time classic, speaking of which...

1. Spooky Space Kook- I feel like I never really get to vote for Spooky Space Kook very much in these polls, so this makes me happy. For such a classic and truly ICONIC episode (this has actually surpassed Jeepers Its the Creeper when it comes to the episode people recognize the most when talking to people in real life), I feel like I don't talk about it much. Especially as for years, this was stranded just outside my top 5 Where Are You episodes at number 6. But now that What the Hex Going On dropped a bit for me on my last rewatch, Spooky Space Kook

But now that What the Hex Going On dropped a bit for me on my last rewatch, Spooky Space Kook is in that top 5. Sure, the "neighbor the gang has never seen before" thing isn't the greatest trope to use for the perpetrator, but when it comes to this episode, it doesn't matter when everything else is so amazing. The airfield setting is phenomenal, the comedy is top tier (the key and window scene is one of the greatest comedic scenes in franchise history, right up there with the High Rise Hair Raiser book of spells), and obviously it is the SPACE KOOK who is one of the greatest villains in franchise history. I love the Creeper, but I do think this is the better episode and villain in the conversation for the most iconic episode of all time.

3. I feel the same way about this one. At this point, I feel like there aren't any underrated Where Are You episodes, because they almost all get a decent amount of acclaim. I think the only one someone could make an argument for would be "Scooby's Night with a Frozen Fright," or perhaps "Decoy for a Dognapper" or "Never Ape an Ape Man," but personally I feel all of those are on the lower end of Where Are You anyway.

Mystery Mask Mix-Up is definitely underrated, cuz so many people throw it towards the bottom purely due to one scene.

Matt
5/11/2026 04:43:34 pm

I agree with Becker that the only real answer here imo is Mystery Mask Mix Up. I could maybe see Scooby's Night With a Frozen Fright, but Decoy For a Dognapper and Never Ape an Ape Man are appropriately rated at the bottom of the series imo. I guess I would consider them underrated by anyone calling them outright bad, but that is a bit of a stretch

Mystery Mask Mix Up is a weird case though because I do think it is very underrated, but I can't exactly fault the people for underrating it. It is outdated, and while "it was a different time", that isn't really a good excuse for the bad stuff. However, everything else about the episode is so great and some stuff is borderline legendary (the car chase especially) that I still think the episode is an all time classic

WildwindVampire link
5/11/2026 10:07:25 pm

Very good point on "Mystery Mask Mix-Up." I've seen more people come around to it in recent years, but there does seem to be a fair amount that still discount it for that scene. Can't fault them for that really because it did age horribly, and there was a time where I underranked it as well for that bit. I've definitely grown to be more in Matt's camp though in recent years, and think the rest of the episode is amazing enough that the one scene doesn't play a substantial role in my thoughts on the episode anymore.

Matt
5/12/2026 07:13:01 am

Bedlam in the Bigtop is going in at number two here. As I mentioned in my Hassle in the Castle blurb, this was my childhood favorite episode for a while, and I still adore it, though not quite as much as back then. I do think the solution to the mystery isn’t the greatest nor the mystery itself tbh, but that gets made up for by having a phenomenal setting, an all time classic villain who is one of the most sinister and dangerous villains in the franchise. I will say, To Switch a Witch has really snuck up my rankings to the point where it is knocking on the door of being ahead of Bedlam in the Bigtop as well to still be at number 2

Tough choice, but I'm going with Hassle in the Castle for its enigmatic atmosphere, which makes identifying the culprit even harder than in other episodes.

For the past few weeks, I've been dedicating myself to (far too) in-depth analysis of the first live-action Scooby-Doo film. I really wanted to be able to write a proper analysis before posting on the blog. I've always been reluctant to watch the movie, but knowing its importance to the franchise, I decided to give it a try anyway. It was by far the most difficult film for me to evaluate. I often get the impression that those who grew up with it appreciate it out of nostalgia, while the more "purist" fans were disappointed by the adaptation. Also, knowing that my favorite series is What's New, it seemed odd to me not to like the two main films from that era.
To be honest, the story did reference several good elements of Scooby-Doo. There's the fact, of course, that the story takes place on an island with real monsters, as is the case with Zombie Island, but the scene in the castle reminded me a bit of the New Scooby-Doo Movies, where you never know what's going to happen to the gang.

On that point, the live-action is a great success, but the rest of the film rather disappointed me. I TOTALLY agree with your assessment of Fred. Fred is anything but self-centered, and he's probably the one who does the most to keep the gang together, like in the first season of Mystery Incorporated. As for Daphne, it's true that she seems underdeveloped in the early Scooby-Doo series, but her role had already gained prominence with The New Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo Show and the revival era. So, presenting her once again as a damsel in distress seemed in contrast to her evolution over the last few decades. I understand that the writers probably wanted to convey a feminist message, but I think this approach was more simplistic than the journalist Daphne of the revival era. As for Scrappy, it was unfair to make the guy who kept Scooby-Doo going in 1979 one of the franchise's most evil villains, but I expected it and didn't make a big deal of it. I wonder what would have happened if Scooby-Dum had been the bad guy!

I had a lot of trouble enjoying the live-action version, knowing how far removed it is from the cartoon. I really like the more polished and colorful style of cartoons compared to the more adult series that are so prevalent on streaming platforms. I think the live-action versions of Yogi Bear and The Flintstones managed to capture the spirit of their original series, but Scooby-Doo was too far removed from his animated adventures. For example, there's Fred's questionable humor, which would never have fit in the cartoons, the gang members' sudden ego crises, the rumor that Shaggy is a smoker, not to mention the farting contest between Shaggy and Scooby. I really didn't find it interesting to watch. This is probably one of my issues, but the fact that the film had to be realistic forced the characters to have flaws or tastes they don't have in the cartoon.

The big question then became: why don't I like a film that's a cult classic for some? After two weeks of turning this over in my mind, I've come to the conclusion that it's probably because Scooby-Doo 1 is a portrait of a cultural era I don't belong to and am much less familiar with than the 1960s and 70s. Back when online streaming platforms didn't exist, I imagine owning the VHS tapes of the two live-action films and watching them after school or work must have been a real treat. I had a similar experience with Looney Tunes movies as a kid, and some films that were critically panned are among my favorites. I have a stronger attachment to the Scooby-Doo movies from the 2010s, since those were the ones I could watch in part on WB Kids and the first ones I bought when I started my Scooby DVD collection. Those two weeks of trying to love Scooby-Doo 1 as if it were the only film in the franchise were truly unpleasant, but I'm glad I was able to put that aside and finally accept that no one should feel ashamed for not liking the same things as a group.

That's really cool that you checked the first live-action film! It definitely seems like one of those movies that is kind of a time capsule. It was well-liked at the time, and fans who liked it back then tend to have nostalgia over it as you mentioned, but I imagine it's probably very different for those who are watching the movie for the first time now.

I completely agree with your assessment of Daphne! I think I may have talked about it in the first article you started commenting on, but I feel they could have gone deeper with subverting the "damsel in distress" trope. Scooby media from later years seemed to pick up on giving Daphne emotional depth to empower her character, but you're absolutely right that these films basically just made her character "tough = empowered!". Which is silly imo, because it makes her character lack emotional depth and just piggybacks on another untrue stereotype, because people can be empowered in other ways besides physical toughness. Scooby-Dum being the bad guy would have been wild to see haha. Maybe they could have made him a secret evil genius who was just pretending to be dimwitted lol.

That totally makes sense and I think it's a valid criticism to have. I agree with you that certain aspects were played up to make the film "edgy" and appealing to older audiences as well, when I personally don't think they needed to be. I agree with you that the Yogi Bear live-action did a great job of staying true to the heart of the original cartoon! I actually don't remember liking The Flintstones live-action movie, but I was probably 9 or 10 when I saw it, so I couldn't tell you why at this point. Maybe I'll have to give it a rewatch at some point.

I agree with you that the first live-action film is definitely a product of its time. I think it's also worth saying that it's totally okay to like whatever you like, regardless of whether it lines up with most other people's opinions. One of the things I love most about the Scooby fandom is that nearly everyone is super open to whatever opinions people have on certain episodes/movies. Even when fans have strong opinions about liking/disliking certain episodes or movies, 99% aren't waiting to pounce on anyone who doesn't like/dislike the same thing as them. If it helps at all, I consider "Jeepers, It's the Creeper" to be one of my least favorite episodes of Where Are You. Considering The Creeper is one of the most acclaimed villains from that series, that's a hugely unpopular opinion. It doesn't make me any less of a fan though, because everyone has different opinions on things and that's okay. :)

I'll add this just because it's related to the topic and the self-reflection I've recently done about the past few years. Something I've learned these past few years is that it isn't worth wasting your time trying to get people to like you that don't have your best interests at heart anyway. I think often we tend to worry about what others might think/say if they're frustrated with us, but changing my mindset to "do I really want the approval of someone who is treating me poorly?" was really helpful to me. Obviously, my people-pleasing was related to wanting to do a good job at work, but I mention it because I think it relates to what you were talking about with feeling like you had to like the live-action film. From my experience, 95% of fans would be totally accepting of whatever opinion you have, and not view you as any less of a "real fan." I guess what I've learned is that at the end of the day, do you really want the acceptance of the 5% of people who would be mean and make fun of you for your opinion? It's a choice everyone can make for themselves, but personally I've learned in pretty much every situation, I would much rather be authentic and focus my energy on the people who are going to treat me well, rather than trying to people-please for the 5% of people who are going to treat me poorly if I don't agree with all their opinions. Not sure if that fully makes sense (I'll be honest, I probably wouldn't have fully understood it in high school haha), but I just wanted to bring that up in case it helps. :)

Speaking of live-action films, I decided that since I was stuck with Scooby-Doo 1 anyway, I might as well take the opportunity to watch The Flintstones. I bought the DVD last week (I was also extremely lucky to find the Yogi Bear live-action and Yogi the Easter Bear tucked away on a shelf in the store!). I was really expecting it to be similar to the more mature side of Scooby-Doo 1 and of On the Rocks, but to my surprise, the film was a carbon copy of the original series. The story could easily have been an episode of The Flintstones; the friendship between Fred and Barney, Fred's bowling poses, and even Wilma and Betty's laughter seemed copied from the cartoon. There wasn't a single tasteless joke or character that felt poorly portrayed. I didn't have the same problem I had with Scooby-Doo since the live-action Flintstones wasn't competing with the other films in the franchise. While The Man Called Flintstones and the other specials place all the characters in unique situations, the film was closer to a regular episode where each character's personality and Bedrock are highlighted. A very good film, really enjoyable to watch! I remember you saying you'd only seen it once, but I recommend watching it again if you have the chance.

I read your note from Tuesday. It's truly courageous of you to have done this self-reflection and to recognize that you need more time with face-to-face contact. I sincerely hope this helps you regain full control of your life :) Even though I find much less time to write on the blog than during my first few months, I still appreciate the environment and the discussions we have on Hanna-Barbera. These interactions have done me a world of good, and I sincerely hope that focusing on your loved ones will help you regain full control of your life. If I may offer a tip, when I'm not feeling well and want to avoid screens, I do puzzles while listening to music or just the radio (ideally not the news). It's a really relaxing activity, and you can then hang the puzzles on the wall. I went through a difficult period in 2024, and completing a Scooby puzzle helped me stay calmer. Take care of yourself :)

Spooky Space Kook for me. I'm sure there are more episodes than this, especially in more modern times. Currently got on my mind Velma raging as the villain was someone they'd never met and saying it didn't count but can't for life of me think which episode that was.

Interestingly, you could also put The Ghost of Captain Cutler here as the gang technically never met Captain Cutler until the unmasking.

You're thinking of "It's All Greek to Scooby." The culprit is seen in the cold open though, so it wouldn't fit the criteria. Captain Cutler is kind of a weird example lol. It was one I considered including, but ultimately he was mentioned several times throughout the episode, so I don't think it would count.

That's not exactly the appropriate requirement, since in Guess Who's Knott Coming to Dinner the ultimate culprits also get mentioned beforehand. A better rule would be the fact we see Cutler in a portrait in the episode before his unmasking.

To Switch A Witch is the easy winner for me here, it's easily a top 5 Scooby Doo Show episode and probably top 10 for me in the entire franchise. I think it's quite clever how the fact that there is a twin is foreshadowed, and I think Arlene is one of my favourite one episode Scooby characters (plus I love literally everything else haha). I find some episodes make the character just be random as hell (like in Bedlam in the Bigtop, like it's just the carnival hypnotist that we've never seen or heard of??) but at least here the culprit is connected to someone we know in a way that feeds into their motive in a clever way!

Also as someone who's established they don't generally like season 3 as much, "To Switch a Witch" is up there as one of my faves from the season too. It's very close to me between this and "A Menace in Venice" as my favorite episodes of the season, but I might just give the latter the edge.
