**** Scooby was purpusefully designed as a Great Dane with the exact opposite of all the traditionally desirable physical traits of the breed -- Scooby's so far away from the ideal Great Dane as it's possible to get with his large chin, his bow legs and his color (Great Danes don't actually come in that color). However, he doesn't seem to have any of the health problems normally associated with Great Danes either; Great Danes are a fragile breed but Scooby has an iron health and constitution. So Scooby and his family might simply be mutations of the breed, which may not have the traits to win prizes at dog shows but to make up for it have ''excellent'' health.

* Did they de-age in "What's New Scooby Doo?"? They called them ''teenagers''.
** The studio always had a sometimes they care and sometimes they don't attitude on any such thing. But if we as a fandom want to think out an answer, the only way to have all the shows work for all reasons such as this, would be faulty timeline. Aka all the time travel and supernatural shenanigans have screwed up the timeline and many things can change from episode to episode. This explanation would let you handwave most of the problems. However it does leave Mystery Incorporated out in the cold, as that show needs a ContinuityReboot to actually work, which wouldn't work in a faulty time line. But it's best to consider that show solo anyway. Luckily in the Scooby section of the library most of the issues really might as well just be the ages, it's not a hard stretch for most of the things that could have happened between series.

** This is discussed in the video game ''Mystery Mayhem'' (2004). Shaggy and Scooby (once again) refuse to participate in capturing a villain. When Fred asks why they would still be frightened if they ''knew'' that whatever monster it would be was just a bad guy in a mask, Shaggy retorts that it's just that: Someone who willingly dresses up in a costume to scare people [[MalevolentMaskedMen is not a person you want to be around]]. Besides, there have been some villains that were people dressed as monsters that have actually attempted to murder or critically maim the gang in order to keep their schemes safe (The Snow Ghost, Mr. Hyde, the Ghost of the Red Baron,among others). This gives Shaggy and Scooby a reason for their LovableCoward moments, because there's an element of real danger despite the ghosts being fake.

** Maybe Scrappy being in the box was him secretly running away to hang with his Uncle? If you were Ruby Doo would you want your kid hanging out with your brother that seems to get chased by some crazy monster every where he goes?
** Interestingly enough most of the HB meddling kids are all supposed to have been high school teens, yet to be fair i would have pegged them all for early 20s college age. But then i wasn't alive in the 60s and 70s, is this more a generational gap between both the old bad guys in world and the younger set in real life?
** Not sure about "become real", while the gang had been finding a lot of fake ghosts and the occasional hint of one, this never would have stopped the existence of real ghosts all that time, the Scooby gang just didn't directly investigate one until the later years.
*** Fred didn't have a real personality yet. However if he had his goofball persona, Flim Flam probably wouldn't have been created, and Freddy and Scrappy could have been the second comic team.

** Well, look at it this way; the First Show was in the 1970's, news back then didn't travel fast enough, and things like "Teens Unmask Monster" Would be local news things, not world-wide phenomena. Sure, after like the 8th one the Mystery Inc kids would get national attention, but let's just say they never do. It's also never explained how far they travel in the First Series, but by the looks of it they go all across the United States and maybe even to parts of Canada and Mexico, far enough that the news can't spread quickly. The same can be said for all the Scooby Doo Series until ''What's New Scooby Doo?'', at which point the Internet starts becoming popular. But by then, Mystery Inc. has started traveling across the world, and many people in the countries they do travel to probably didn't have regular internet Connections at that Time (This was the Early 2000's, after all). They also seem to arrive literally the day during or after the crime is to take place; the perpetrators could know about them, but they probably assume that Mystery Inc is far away in India or somewhere where they can get away with it before Mystery Inc can arrive. In ''Scooby Doo: Mystery Inc'', all the crimes are localized in a city that: 1) Already loves the spotlight of ghosts and the paranormal, 2) Has a lot more people who are kind of just wanting for their to be ghosts, and 3) is destined to be destroyed anyways, so they might as well take advantage of the situation. Plus a lot of the Criminals in the latest series are smart, robot building people, who probably think they can outsmart Mystery Inc. And that is your Explanation. -DingoWalley

* This troper has to ask, about the film. He could take the nonsensical plot and the bad jokes. But what this troper has to ask is annoys him more than that. When the Gang breaks up, it's understandable why Velma, Daphne and Fred hate each other. Fred takes credit for Velma's plans, Daphne hates being reminded of her constant DamselInDistress and Fred....he's Fred let's leave it at that. However did they have to take it out on Shaggy and Scooby? So far not one of the three have any thing bad to say about them, even their clumsiness and cowardliness are overlooked. But they pretty much have been the only nice guys on the movie and have tried time and again to keep them together. And when TheStoner and a dog are [[OnlySaneMan The only sane men,]] that could be a problem.

* Is it just me or was TheSummation in ''Creepy Cruise'' the epitome of VoodooShark? To summarize: the gang goes on a cruise where this scientist is experimenting with a time machine but something goes wrong and a monster from the future emerges. It is later revealed that the scientist and his shady financier had co-conspired to swindle their investors with a fake machine. The "monster" was actually a series of holograms projected throughout the ship with the financier wearing a suit whenever the monster needed to appear inside the machine. Problems:
** In several points Shaggy and Scooby physically interact with the monster meaning it couldn't have been an image. If it was the financier, then why is he running around the ship still wearing the costume as opposed to laying low?
** In the cold opening, the monster is briefly seen inside the machine while it's being hoisted aboard the ship. The scientist dismisses this and it's never mentioned again.
** Eventually they corner the two by "repeating the experiment" and the monster appears in front of the stunned pair...only it's Shaggy in the suit. ''Where the hell did he find it?''
