Wow, I can't believe I didn't get the joke with Red Herring's name until now.

I'll just be frank and say this; from what i've seen, Be Cool Scooby Doo is doing to the Scooby Doo franchise what Teen Titans Go! did to the original Teen titans show; take the characters from a previous TV show (or franchise is Scooby Doo's case) and revamp them from lovable, complex characters with traits that make it clear why they're heroes and good people, to selfish, idiotic jerks that leave you wondering why they're even friends with each other at all. At least that's what I've come to understand.
I believe you're are completely, utterly wrong. As far as being jerks and wondering why they're friends at all, Mystery Inc, for example, was way worse.

The five in Be Cool can get annoyed at each other, they can act mean from time to time (this version of Scooby definitely feels like the meanest of any incarnation), but they still feel like friends.

So, back to discussing the show, what does everyone think of the art style? I heard Family Guy like being thrown around but I don't really see it.
It's mostly obvious in the stills. Fred's chin and Scooby's face are the worst offenders in my opinion.

As far as monsters go, I thought my favorite was the giant. It's rather rare that they face something so completely out of their scale!

Anybody knows when they're going to air more of those?

If they give us an air date then that would answer the question.

From an old post.

and the post Abracadabra Doo DTV groups all different versions?
I think we could stop the post-Abracadabra Doo period of movies at Fright Stage (included), which is when they used the specific designs and animation of the opening song for the last time.

They're still making movies/specials with the character designs and animation/writing style of Abracadabra Doo.

In other news, Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! has been quietly canceled. The rest of the unaired episodes are, supposedly, going to the new Boomarang streaming app.

[up] File this news under "Not surprising." As this show was a 2nd-party cartoon, CN treated it like it wasn't worthy of being paid attention to. But apparently this show was decent. I feel sorry for this show's fans. I'll have to check it out.

I figured this was coming since I hadn't heard anything about it in forever.

It's really too bad; even with the Art Shift, from the episodes I saw, it wasn't half-bad.

After all this episode withholding, I don't care, I just want to see the rest of first season.

Kinda surprised, Kinda not. I'm guessing the same thing is happening with Wabbit too. Why make the series if you're going to cancel it so soon?

They really suck at balancing schedules. I feel like JLA is going the same way.

It's a shame, too. Most of the unaired episodes are pretty awesome.

And now we wait for the next incarnation.

I want another Mystery Inc. God that one was good.

It made references to Twin Peaks and the premise was similar, but the tone and story structure was completely different. Every episode had its own identity and purpose despite driving the same story. And Professor Pericles is probably the sexiest bird ever.

Because it was a deconstruction of the franchise, we're not likely to get another series quite like Mystery Inc any time soon.

But another series with character and story arcs, maybe.

Here is a link I found from one of Be Cool, Scooby-Doo's writers. He basically describes all the bullshit that CN and WB (yes, WB actually helped CN to try to fuck this show up) put him and Zac through.

I feel like this show is going to become a cult classic, underappreciated in its time.

Unlike Teen Titans Go, the show actually tried to capture the essence of the Sooby Doo spirit in a more comical way. It was fun seeing Daphne being the weird one for once instead of Fred.

Wow, sounds like a complete mess happened behind the scenes. My sympathies are with this dude.

Just think of all the horror stories we haven't heard behind some of the other badly-treated CN/WB shows.

The reason we've not all the behind the scenes horrior stories is that the people who worked on them are bound by legal agreements and what not

Good grief, what a mess. I feel so bad for these guys.

If that's what they had to deal with, then I'm not sure I'd be able to stand having executives breathing down my neck.

I heard about this show when somebody showed me this scene:

It cracked me the hell up. The comedy in this show was gold IMO. But for reasons, that are obvious now I guess, I was never able to catch this show when it was on TV to show it support.

Right now, I think the only way to get the 1st season legally is to buy the DVD set that got out in France.
