Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?

 In the past, I've covered other series in the Scooby-Doo Multiverse, which seems to mostly align with the DC Multiverse.

Today I'm going to cover Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?, which seems to align with the DC Animated Universe, or Earth-12.  

June 27, 2019--"Revenge of the Swamp Monster!"--In the tradition of the New Scooby-Doo Movies, Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? features guests who are both real life celebs and fictional characters.  This one features Houston Rockets basketball player Chris Paul.  I'm just going to say while the New Scooby-Doo Movies was a who's who of who was famous in the 70s, this series kind of goes for, "Well, who's available and needs some money?"

July 2, 2019--"A Mystery Solving Gang Divided"--This one guest stars the Funky Phantom.  The Funky Phantom previously appeared in Scooby-Doo:  Mystery Incorporated, but that was a separate continuity.  

July 11, 2019--"Peeble's Pet Shop of Terrible Terrors!"--Wanda Sykes, who used to be a famous comedian, and she's been a secondary player in some movies and TV shows.  

July 18, 2019--"Elementary, My Dear Shaggy!"--They team up with a man who claims to be Sherlock Holmes, still alive and young.  While this is the first teaming of Scooby and Holmes, Holmes has teamed with Batman before in a few continuities, including the post Crisis DCU and Batman:  The Brave and the Bold, the latter of which has it's own version of Scooby-Doo.

July 25, 2019--"Ollie Ollie Income-Free!"--This one is interesting because the guest is Ricky Gervais, the famously controversial, very adult comedian who is also very famously atheist.  Not that there's anything wrong with that, but unusual to see on a kids show.  

August 1, 2019--"The Scooby of a Thousand Faces!"--This one guests Wonder Woman.  Wonder Woman appeared in the comic Scooby-Doo Team-Up, but that was the Super Friends version, and this is the DCAU version.  

August 8, 2019--"The Cursed Cabinet of Professor Madds Markson!"--This one guests Penn and Teller, who are almost always famous.  They never truly go out of vogue.  

August 15, 2019--"When Urkel-Bots Go Bad!"--This one guests Steve Urkel, who kids loved in the frickin' 90s.  So in this universe, Steve Urkel is still a teenager, so a very different canon than the TVCU, where Steve was a teen in the 1990s, and would have aged normally.  Steve Urkel was the crossover glue tying together much of the TGIF sitcoms of the 80s and 90s, and thus deserves our respect, but still a weird choice for a kids cartoon in 2019.  It makes me wonder if adults weren't the actual target audience here.

August 22, 2019--"The Fastest Food Fiend!"--This one guests Jim Gaffigan, who famously loves food like Scooby and Shaggy, but he was big like 20 years ago.  

August 29, 2019--"Attack of the Weird Al-Osaurus!"--Weird Al can do no wrong, and this team-up should have happened long ago.  Weird Al is always famous, never goes out of style, is cool to both adults and kids.

September 5, 2019--"Now You Sia, Now You Don't!"--Sia is actually popular with young people, because I don't really know who she is, other than I think she's a contemporary pop star.  

September 12, 2019--"Quit Clowning!"--Kenan Thompson has been on Saturday Night Live forever, but got his start on Nickelodeon and did the cult classic Good Burger.  A good choice.  Well received by all ages and I bet he had a blast doing this.

September 19, 2019--"What a Night, For a Dark Knight!"--This is the Batman from Batman:  The Animated Series.  Many versions of Scooby have crossed paths with many versions of Batman, dating all the way back to the New Scooby-Doo Movies!  This was the final voice appearances of Kevin Conroy as Batman and Mark Hamil as the Joker.  

July 2, 2020--"The Nightmare Ghost of Psychic U!"--This one has Whoopi Goldberg, a once famous movie star and featured on Star Trek:  The Next Generation, but now the host of a political day time talk show.

July 2, 2020--"The Sword, the Fox, and the Scooby-Doo!"--This time Mark Hamil plays himself.  Do I need to talk about what Mark Hamil is famous for?

July 2, 2020--"One Minute Mysteries!"--This one guests the Flash of the DCAU.  The Flash of the Super-Friends Universe teamed up with Scooby in Scooby-Doo Team-Up.  

July 2, 2020--"Hollywood Knights!"--This one guests George Takei!  Oh my!  Famous for Star Trek obviously, but Takei has become a geek cultural icon.

July 2, 2020--"The New York Underground!"--Just like Sia, Halsey is a famous pop star well beloved by young folks.  I saw her on SNL so I am at least familiar with this one a little bit.

July 2, 2020--"Fear of the Fire Beast!"--Note that all of the second half of season 1 came out on the same day.  For timeline purposes, clearly all these stories didn't happen on the same day.  I'm too lazy to map out a good timeline for these adventures.  Anyways, this one guests Steve Buscemi, famous for R rated violent films and Adam Sandler comedies, none of which are appropriate for kids, but he is quite the character and probably still well known to kids, who probably have seen his work anyways.  When I was a kid, my parents let me watch a lot of stuff that was probably inappropriate.  

July 2, 2020--"Too Many Dummies!"--This one guests two famous ventriliquists, Jeff Dunham and Darci Lynne Farmer.  Dunham was on Comedy Central a lot twenty years ago, with his somewhat right wing, but still very funny, dummies.  In this, he has Walter along with him.  Darci Lynne was an early winner of America's Got Talent, was still a child when she won, and has her own Vegas show.  She is well received and respected by other famous ventriloquists.  She is accompanied by Petunia.  

July 2, 2020--"Dance Matron of Mayhem!"--Maddie Ziegler is a famous dancer who was on a reality show not long before this, as well as in many music videos by Sia.  

July 2, 2020--"The Wedding Witch of Wainsly Hall!"--If you've heard of Jeff Foxworthy, you might be a redneck!  Foxworthy was huge twenty years ago, had a lot of comedy specials on Comedy Central and his own sitcom.  

July 2, 2020--"A Run Cycle Through Time!"--Malcolm McDowell.  'Nuff said.  

July 2, 2020--"I Put a Hex on You!"--The Hex Girls exist in every Scooby-Doo timeline.  Are they a real band or a fictional one?  I've never heard of them outside of Scooby-Doo.  

July 2, 2020--"The High School Wolfman's Musical Lament!"--This makes me think this show is aimed at Gen X rather than Gen Z as this one guests Christian Slater.  

July 2, 2020--"Space Station Scooby!"--Neil Degrasse Tyson and Bill Nye guest star, two very famous science guys.

October 1, 2020--"The Phantom, the Talking Dog, and the Hot Hot Hot Sauce!"--Kacey Musgraves is a country singer.  I don't know much about country. Note we're starting season 2 and all these episodes also came out on the same date.  

October 1, 2020--"The Last Inmate!"--Morgan Freeman.

October 1, 2020--"The Horrible Haunted Hospital of Dr. Phineas Phragg!"--Kristen Schaal is from Bob's Burgers.  

October 1, 2020--"The Hot Dog Dog!"--Joey Chestnut is famous for winning hot dog eating contests.  

October 1, 2020--"A Movable Mystery!"--Gigi Hadid is a famous model.  

October 1, 2020--"The Feast of Dr. Frankenfooder!"--Alton Brown is famous for hosting a show on the Food Network.  Getting food related people on a Scooby show is kind of smart.

October 1, 2020--"A Fashion Nightnare!"--Tim Gunn is famous for Fashion Runway, which moms probably watched.  

October 1, 2020--"Scooby on Ice!"--Tara Lipinski is a famous Olympic skater.  

October 1, 2020--"Caveman on the Half Pipe!"--Chloe Kim is a famous snowboarder.

October 1, 2020--"The Crown Jewel of Boxing!"--Laila Ali is a famous female boxer and the daughter of Mohammad Ali, who has appeared in the TVCU and on Earth-1 fought Superman!

October 1, 2020--"The Internet on Haunted House Hill!"--Liza Koshy is apparently famous on YouTube!

October 1, 2020--"The 7th Inning Scare!"--Macklemore is a rapper.  

October 1, 2020--"The Dreaded Remake of Jekyll and Hyde!"--Sandy Duncan?  Now I feel like I'm watching the New Scooby-Doo Movies!  This is a separate continuity to the New Scooby-Doo Movies, due to the DC characters, but this is a direct sequel to a New Scooby-Doo Movies episode.  The fictional movie being filmed in this episode is at Mammoth Studios, which maybe will be my next TVCU blog post topic.  

November 13, 2020--"Total Jeopardy!"--Velma and Shaggy are on Jeopardy, when it was still hosted by Alex Trebek.  

February 25, 2021--"Dark Diner of Route 66!"--This one guest stars Axl Rose, who was of course the lead singer of Guns 'n' Roses in the 80s and 90s, and sort of still is.  I guess he's made a come back in pop culture due to Thor:  Love and Thunder.  

October 1, 2021--"Lost Soles of Jungle River!"--Jason Sudeikis is famous for Saturday Night Live, We're the Millers (which is always on cable), and Ted Lasso.  

October 1, 2021--"The Tao of Scoob!"--Lucy Lui was big in the 90s, but I suppose will always be big due to appearing in Futurama.  

October 1, 2021--"Returning of the Key Ring!"--Hey, its Sean Astin from Stranger Things!  No, that's Sean Astin from Fifty First Dates!  No, you fuckwad, it's Sean Astin from Lord of the Rings!  No, damnit!  It will always be Sean Astin from the Goonies!!!!!!

October 1, 2021--"Cher, Scooby, and the Sargasso Seal!"--Not a direct sequel like the Sandy Duncan episode, but Cher has previously appeared in the New Scooby-Doo Movies.

October 1, 2021--"The Lost Mines of Kilimanjaro!"--Jessica Biel was also famous twenty years ago.  

October 1, 2021--"The Legend of the Gold Microphone!"--Joseph Simmons is from Run DMC, famous in the 1980s.  

October 1, 2021--"Scooby-Doo and the Sky Town Cool School!"--Okay, every kid probably knows Billy Dee Williams from Star Wars.  

October 1, 2021--"Falling Star Man!"--I'm not much into sports, but I know who Terry Bradshaw is, but I'm wondering if kids do.

October 1, 2021--"A Haunt of a Thousand Voices!"--Okay, this one is cool.  This one guests the voice actors of this very show, as themselves, filming a show about a mystery solving gang.  

October 1, 2021--"Scooby-Doo, Dog Wonder!"--This one guests Blue Falcon and Dynomutt, who had teamed up in the original Saturday Morning timeline, as well as on Laff-A-Lympics.  In the early millennium movies, Blue Falcon was fictional in the world of Scooby-Doo.

October 1, 2021--"The Movieland Monsters!"--Feels like this should have been the 1970s, as this one guests Carol Burnett.
