1. What was the first Scooby series you ever watched?
I first started watching Scooby when I was about 6 and my parents recorded episodes of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? on VHS. This was back in the 90s, when Scooby was airing reruns on a network called USA. The first episode I saw was "A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts," I instantly fell in love with the series and remained passionate about it while growing up and even into adulthood! There was a brief period in my teenage years where I stopped liking Scooby because I didn't think it was "cool" to like a cartoon with a target audience of children. However, I grew out of that phase relatively quickly and realized that I should be true to myself and my interests, which of course includes Scooby!
2. Who is your favorite member of the gang and why?
I would have to pick Scooby! He's so sweet and adorable, how can you not love him? :)
3. What is your favorite Scooby item in your collection?
Ooh, that's a tough one! I would have to say the Scooby-Doo Collector's Edition Monopoly game or the three rare Scooby VHS tapes I have. The Monopoly game is actually quite a bit of fun and brings back quite a bit of nostalgia given there are tons of references to the original series throughout the game. Each of the "properties" are actually some the classic monsters - Redbeard the pirate, The Creeper, Charlie the Robot, etc. and many of the chance cards are related to events which occurred in Where Are You. I always thought it was cool they stayed so true to the original series, and whoever made it at WB seemed to be very dedicated to making sure every detail was correct! The VHS tapes are cool just because I've had them since I was a kid, and two of the episodes on them have actually still never been released on DVD! For those curious, the episodes included are "The Hairy Scare of the Devil Bear" (Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Volume 1), "Wedding Bell Boos" and "To Switch a Witch" (Scooby-Doo's Wedding Bell Boos), "A Halloween Hassle at Dracula's Castle" and "The Tar Monster" (Scooby-Doo: A Halloween Hassle at Dracula's Castle). Unfortunately, I had a lot of cool stuff as a kid, but my parents sold the bulk of it when I went through that "I'm too cool to like Scooby" phase. I wish I would have kept some of the stuff, as a lot of it was really cool. However, I'm slowly working on rebuilding my collection as an adult, and I'm happy with what I have so far even if it is modest!
4. What is one Scooby item you would love to add to your collection?
Definitely the Scooby and Shaggy Graveyard phone from 2000! That looks sooo cool and I've been looking for it for a long time now!
Thank you so much, Doo, for taking the time to do this fan spotlight.
