** The execs arbitrarily replaced the show creator and the main writer with an inexperienced writer in the middle of the second season and gave the former no credit for what they actually did during the said season. The show creator eventually gave up and left the show due to how nasty things were getting behind the scenes and how the execs were treating him.

** There also seems to be a general sentiment now that so many of WB's legacy shows have gotten erratic scheduling and ScrewedByTheNetwork in recent years that for the time being they are being made this way because they can't trust CN to give them a fair shake from the get-go. The same writer even made mention he was practically brought on board with the idea they could make Scooby their way and then basically had the same rug swept out from under them so they could test-out/meddle with other ideas/people. Mind you of course when there's no CN, this same studio treats this same character much, much differently.

* RealitySubtext: The episode "Silver Scream" features the Gang going to a studio, where a director, Lori Logan, frequently struggles with her boss Ray Fletcher, who keeps mandating sloppy, out-of-touch changes to the movie she's trying to complete. Given that ''Be Cool, Scooby-Doo'' apparently had its fair share of [[TroubledProduction behind-the-scenes problems]] that stemmed from frequent ExecutiveMeddling, it's not hard to see the episode as the crew condemning their bosses for making their experience working on the series miserable.

** It still airs new episodes on Boomerang... [[FridayNightDeathSlot in the middle of the night on a Friday]]. And not everyone has Boomerang. Not to mention that [[ShortRunInPeru these new episodes have already aired months ago in other countries before the US]].
** The final season got it even worse. After Boomerang quietly burned off the final six episodes of Season 1 in June 2017 at 1:00 in the morning, they would eventually begin releasing episodes of the second season in late December on their streaming service (with a few holiday specials being released beforehand). They would eventually air the last episodes of the second season on TV instead of their streaming service. However, no on-air advertisements were aired, and Boomerang would premiere these episodes at random times during the wee-hours of the morning, when the target audience would be sound asleep.

** The executives seemingly didn't know what kind of show they wanted to see: a subversive self-parody of the ''Scooby-Doo'' franchise with the character's personalities exaggerated or something more traditional for the series.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: After a delay on the show's premiere, it barely lasted a year on Cartoon Network before being cast on Boomerang (which was where it was supposed to premiere anyways) alongside other Warner Bros animated series, ''[[WesternAnimation/WabbitALooneyTunesProduction Wabbit]]'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Bunnicula}}''. All this just to keep timeslots free for ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'', a practice that has screwed many shows over in recent years.

*** Boomerang finished aired Season 1 finally in 2017. The catch was the last episodes aired at '''1:00am-4:00am''' unannounced on a '''Monday night'''. If you didn't (or don't) have Boomerang, don't want to pay for the Boomerang streaming service, weren't lucky enough to catch a rerun, didn't pull an all-nighter, you don't have a working DVR or you just don't have the guts to get the episodes through illegal means, then you probably haven't seen them. Luckily, they're available on DVD which is currently more than [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes what you can say for Season 2]].
