I do not! I would love to beat the record one day though.

The current record holder is a Canadian friend named Danielle Meger! She beat the record on March 21, 2018 with a total of 1806 unique Scooby-Doo items. She is truly the Scooby Queen!

Many fans are disheartened by the news that Mindy Kaling’s “Velma” series which will premiere on HBO Max will be lacking the core character of the entire Scooby-Doo franchise: Scooby himself.

“Velma” plans to reimagine the character as being from east-Asian descent (which is not the first time the franchise as done this). The show has been promoted as having a more adult-oriented presentation of the characters, including exploration of sexual identity and a potential murder plot. 

The spin-off will be one of few examples in the cartoon’s 50+ year run to exclude Scooby as a main character, and will be the only one to include all the other characters of Mystery Inc besides him. 

Hi there! "Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!" is a really good incarnation of the cartoon; I really enjoyed it. I look forward to reviewing episodes from this series on my podcast every season.

As for DVD collections, there has unfortunately not been any official releases of the series as a whole. They did release the first season split between two DVD sets, but the second season never saw any hard copy distribution. If you're just looking to watch the show, you'd have luck streaming it online on sites like Boomerang. But I'm sorry to say this show didn't get much love in hard copy form!

If you didn’t know, That Groovy Scoobcast is my podcast known as the go-to audio-hub for all things Scooby-Doo! This weekly podcast features episode reviews, trivia, news, and more from me and my best friend and co-host Shannon Downey.

Scooby-Doo and Shaggy’s favorite holiday is upon us! With fake monsters and candy galore, Halloween is heaven for these hungry foodies going door-to-door. But this year, their sweet holiday turns sour when the neighborhood pumpkin patch is infected by toxic ooze, creating high-flying jack-o-lanterns, and a king-sized pumpkin leader squashing everything in its path. It’s up to Scooby-Doo and the gang as they team up with their pals, Bill Nye the Science Guy and Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, to solve this mystery of gigantic proportions and save Crystal Cove!

Happy Halloween Scooby-Doo! features the familiar voice talents of Frank Welker as Scooby-Doo/Fred Jones, Grey Griffin as Daphne Blake, Matthew Lillard as Shaggy Rogers and Kate Micucci as Velma Dinkley.  The film also stars Cassandra Peterson as Elvira, Mistress of the Dark and Bill Nye as himself. Happy Halloween Scooby-Doo! was executive produced by Sam Register (Looney Tunes Cartoons). The film was written, produced and directed by Maxwell Atoms.

The official trailer for the new “Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?” series is now available to watch! For those who aren’t aware, this show will take on a similar format to the 1970′s “The New Scooby-Doo Movies” series where the gang teams up with celebrity guest stars and popular fictional characters to solve mysteries. This show will premier on the Boomerang streaming app on June 27th and will release new episodes weekly up until the season finale in September!

Who else is excited about this series? Do you like the look/style/premise of it? Or no? I’d love to hear what you have to say.
