I think too much about crap like this. Pass the bowl and change the channel. I think Nigella Bites is on. She's this hot English babe who cooks. Maybe I'll review that in the future.

I watched the schooby doo movie sunday afternoon. it was a riot.

Most likely, the biggest attraction of Scooby Doo now is just pure nostalgia. A less than bright 5 year old might minimally get a chuckle out of minor stuff like just the sound of Scooby's voice. Twenty years later, the re-runs give you some minor flashback to pleasant Saturday mornings of your youth.
To that end, I personally would prefer Hong Kong Phooey.

I challenge anyone to name a good cartoon show that Hanna-Barbera produced, besides The Flintstones, Jonny Quest, and Wacky Races. I hate Lippy the Lion the most.

Re: Hanna-Barbera- Yogi Bear? Huckleberry Hound? The Jetsons?
5 - duane
Yogi sucks.
Huck sucks.
Jetsons, ripoff of The Flintstones...well, this deserves some thought....no, it sucks, too.
Next you'll bring up Punkin Puss and Mushmouse.
How's that for an in-depth analysis, Al?

I loved Quick Draw McGraw during my very young years. And Augie Doggy and Doggy Daddy.

My younger son loved Scooby when he was 3, and still likes it now that he's seven. My older boy still gets a kick out of it as well. It even makes me chuckle once in a while.

My seven-year-old loves Scooby and the gang too (though not the execrable Scrappy Doo). In fact, I saw the Scooby movie and did enjoy Scrappy getting it in the end. (Hope I didn't spoil it for anyone -- in any case, outside of that and a joke involving the song "Pass the Dutchie," it isn't really worth seeing anyway.)

Nigella Lawson: definitely hot

"Scooby Doo" is to animated cartoons what "The Brady Bunch" is to TV sitcoms. Excessively awful, but comfortable in a fuzzy teddy bear kind of way. Both are best served in small doses. And besides, wasn't the best episode of "The Brady Bunch" when they solved the ghost mystery on Halloween? You know, that episode where the ghost comes down the stairs on a string? Everyone loves a good ghost story......

The movie was pretty funny and had bodacious tatas and whatnot, but the cartoon has always been lame - even our 4 year-old said "they're all about the same."
But I love Hanna Barbera's Huckleberry Hound, Yogi Bear, Quick Draw McGraw ("Queeekstraw"). The Flintstones had its moments, Wally Gator rocked, and the Banana Splits is among the highlights of TV history ("Tra la la, Tra la la la ..."). The rest is pretty much crap - chronology here
12 - Natalie Davis
Ah, the Splits! Love love love Fleagle and Co.
Lily is a bright kid. So is my David, who also has noticed the similarity of each ep -- every damn time he sees the show, he recites the line along with the baddies at the end: "And I would have gotten away with it if it hadn't been for those meddling kids!" Still, he likes it. Go figure. Better than crack and video games, I guess, and he's not hanging out with weird pop stars.
Who was the mountain lion character who always said, "Exit -- stage left"? Was that Snagglepuss? He was kinda lame.
13 - Eric Olsen
Nat, I have zero doubt you have two very bright, sweet, tough kids.
Lily likes the character Scooby-Doo and will watch as a result. Who doesn't like the character? Too bad the cartoon isn't as good as the character.
Yeah, Snagglepuss, "Heavens to Mergatroid."
14 - Natalie Davis
That's the one. I do like that line.
Yeah, my kids rock, though Christy has been especially surly of late. Tell Lily to go from 14 to 16; 15 is hell.
Another question: Is Droopy Dog a Hanna Barbera creation?
15 - Eric Olsen
Kristen was a total pain in the ass at 15 also, weren't you Kristen? (she reads sometimes). Chris wasn't too bad, been a little testy since he's been 16.
I don't see any reference to Droop in the HB chronology
16 - Natalie Davis
Ah, that is right; you are the voice of experience with teenagers. Which means we actually may survive this. Bless you, Eric Olsen.
Thanks for the Droop scoop.
17 - Eric Olsen
My pleasure Nats! I'm sure you will all come out of the Dark Ages just fine. It seems to require a very finely calibrated unreeling of the line to allow just enough freedom but not too much, just enough responsibility but not too much, staying in tune but not conducting too vehemently, etc.
And then they are back to normal - at some point, anyway.
18 - Al Barger
Wait, don't be bad mouthing Yogi Bear. He's my role model.
Smarter than the a-ver-age bear!
19 - Eric Olsen
I thought it was "smarter than the average pic-a-nic basket"
20 - visualsimplicity
The new Scooby Doo cartoon movies are good, mostly because they are able to joke about the old cartoon cliches they created.
Oh and Quick Draw McGraw is probably the best of the the HBs, El Kabong!

Snagglepuss was so gay. He was even pink.
Droopy was by Tex Avery. I think Hanna-Barbera might own the rights today, though.
22 - Natalie Davis
"Snagglepuss was so gay. He was even pink."
Cool!

Scooby Doo is pure animated feces. They should call it "Scooby Doo-Doo."
If I were going into the same situation as the Scooby Dorks, I'd carry a 9-millimeter semiautomatic and plenty of ammo and open fire on any ghoul who tried to scare the bejesus outta me. Then I'd say: "Sorry. I didn't know it was some idiot in a costume."
On a side note, the "Three Stooges" who guest starred on one episode were not the real Three Stooges. How do I know? They weren't smacking each other silly.
25 - Josh
Wouldn't Tom and Jerry be one of the HB cartoons? If so. I do believe that this one beats out ALL others
