Fred really said a lot when he said “Just because you’ve experienced grief doesn’t make you an expert on mine.”

This is 100,000 million percent better than the Velma spin off

A live action Scooby-Doo series is in development at Netflix. I hope this cast gets the chance to audition.

I LOVE THAT THE HEX GIRLS WERE INCLUDED i really love this spin on it being much more dark and actually scary!!!!

I love that Scooby is in this, even if he can't talk. He still feels like Scooby in a way and he's treated like an actual character.

This is how "more mature" adaptation of Scooby-Doo is supposed to be done. Unlike whatever Mindy Kaling is making now. Kudos to the creators of this show.

the show is not called scooby doo, but rather a "Mystery Inc." thus this is not centered around Scooby but still has him as a companion which is a nice touch, even if he can't talk.

This is how you do an adult Scooby Doo show correctly

I am LIVING for the Fred Velma friendship right now. If all the friendships end up being as interesting and well developed as the one they started on, this show is going to be amazing!!!!

You can tell passionate people made this show. The amount of easter eggs is insane! Especially Velma bringing up about Ben Ravencroft. Having the Hex Girls work for Vincent Van Ghoul is just awesome.

This needs to be a full series

This randomly popped up in my KZfaq suggestions. I watched the introduction with Fred with subs and no volume to see if it looked good. It did, so I ended up actually watching it. I was fully engaged by the time we cut away from Daphne's house. THREE MINUTES and I couldn't look away for nearly AN HOUR. Very intriguing, an amazing amount of respect to the characters, great acting, filming looks wonderful, costume designs look realistic yet recognizable as the traditional looks, and the writing is so well done. I will say that Fred dropping that swear at the miner didn't feel right for his character even given his age and circumstances. He's just always been the one character I could never picture swearing unless he were utterly surprised by a life-threatening situation. He chose his words carefully there, though. BUT other than that, pure perfection! I especially love how Shaggy is a drug dealer through being bullied. It ties in the common fan misconception about him being a druggy while also staying true to the fact that he never was. lol, It's like a metaphor for the character feeling bullied into the druggy persona by casual fans. 😂That's deep, dude. 😐

Props to you for getting in an actual dog for Scooby and not going for CGI.

As someone born in 1964, I've been watching (and a fan of) Scooby-Doo in all it's formats since it first started airing. This... was... brilliant... Scooby as a retired police dog just makes so much sense... and with Shaggy as the son of the sheriff, automatically makes you aware how they must have met up. Best Fred of *any* of the series... Starting with him and Velma first was smart, too... Gave a chance for her to be a feature, and not just treated as the 'nerd girl'. Having Daphne be the 'klutz' on purpose was kind of neat, considering how she's often treated in the series. I am so invested in this show, that I'm headed over to Indiegogo to help continue it!

I was looking for new stuff to watch and just randomly thought about this show. There doesn't see to be much publicity about it anymore but I hope it's not cancelled!

I’m not gonna lie, but I think this is *WAY* better than the _Velma_ spinoff. You guys should’ve pitched this to Warner Bros. and HBO Max to be an official series. I bet William Hanna and Joesph Barbera would’ve been very proud of it.

I don't mean to sound out of my depth or pretentious but Fred's acting style is giving me major Jimmy Dean vibes and I can't escape it and Velma is a unique kind of awkward that just works and makes her dialogue more believable Shaggy having the cop dad and Scooby being a retired K9? genius.. adds a whole nother element to him being a stoner Daphne leaning into that popular girl trope is so fun to see too I feel like I've been waiting for that, I love this redemption arc and then the HEX GIRLS?? And you got Kiera Please to play Dusk??? I'm floored!! I totally underestimated this adaptation I am just so impressed

Honestly I’m speechless this is perfect and restored faith a live action version of my favourite tv show ever made could exist…. Thank you for sticking with what made these characters so iconic

UPDATE : March 18,2024 " Sorry for the gap between updates. The strike threw us all for a loop and as a project under SAG we wanted to make sure we were standing in line with all of our brothers and sisters in both the SAG and WGA strikes. After the strikes, things got crazy. Our director Dante is still in Canada as the strikes delayed most everything that was in production at the time including the things he's been working on. Once we have updates on his return we'll have updates as to when we can resume production. There's also much more happening behind the scenes that unfortunately we aren't able to speak on as of yet but we are hoping these things will finalize soon and we can share them with you all. Sorry for the lack of updates, we're working as hard as we can and it can be a mentally exhausting task to feel like we are coming back to you guys with no progress when really we've been working exhaustingly fighting towards every avenue for this project. Keep up the faith! We love you guys and hope you all understand. "

I find it incredible that this project has more thought, effort, passion and respect for the Scooby Doo franchise than the Velma show. Keep up the great work, can’t wait for episode 2!

There's clear love for the original Scooby-Doo and the gang we all know and love. Plus these guys actually feel like the characters while bringing something new to the formula with a more "mature" nature. I really hope we get more because this is incredible!

Really love Scooby Doo wish for more episodes. The actors playing the gang are great.

As a lifelong, die hard Scooby Doo fan, this show was incredible! I really hope we see more from you guys. You deserve to be picked up and show the world how awesome you can be!

I love that Fred and Velma start out as friends first out of everyone and the way he covered her when they summon the mine was proof he sees her as important enough to get his own life to defend her.

This is exactly what Mystery Incorporated would look like if they were in CW's Riverdale. It's a much better depiction than the horrible idea HBO came up with for a Velma spin-off.

I am truly surprised, how much can a fandom do for their Franchise, this was a good start.

Man I really hope this series continues

This isn't just Riverdale with a dog. I really liked the inclusion of Harvey Birdman, The Hex Girls, and Vincent van Ghoul. And the 13 Pillars is a clear reference to The 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo." They made a gritty Scooby show without making it hateful and vulgar.

I love Fred and Velma being the first ones of the group to find and embrace each other. It brings a whole new dynamic that I think most of the original series was lacking in.

Scooby got realistic and even dark... I am so here for this! Thank God. It was getting super cheesy for a minute there, even by 60s standards.

Make another episode of this. It's actually how a live action should be!

I had no idea this existed! Been a lifelong Scooby-Doo fan! This episode was phenomenal, the cast was amazing, and the plot is intriguing! Looking forward to seeing more! Keep it up y’all!

This is exactly what an adult Scooby Doo show should be like! I loved it. And would love to see more.

Now THIS is what a more mature Scooby-Doo would be like. Excellent episode, I can't wait for Episode 2!

I’ve been begging for a more mature Scooby-Doo since Velma dropped and flopped. Now I can die peacefully. Can’t wait for the next episode!

honestly didnt realize this was a fan show at first the production quality is great im totally looking forward to more episodes

I'm still amazed this pilot hasn't been greenlighted by WB to be an exclusive in HBO Max, definitely has the quality and talent we all Scooby-Doo fans deserve. Thanks, Dade and crew to giving us a fenomenal experience, count on me as a backer!

I am just now seeing this???? I wish they continued making this, I'm obsessed with this show

Rip Ken Spears and Joe Ruby creators of Scooby doo

This show deserves to get picked up by a major streaming platform or a network. The cast and crew definitely went all out, and the quality and production for being an indie project is top tier. Great job you guys, hope to see more episodes soon!

Oh wow I was just rewatching this and I noticed at 15:21, you can see Shaggy shove one of the pamphlets for the rave into Fred's hands and just keep walking. Fred's distracted, so no one acknowledges it, but seriously, the amount of detail that was put into this show is insane! I have nothing but respect for everyone involved in this!!

Just hire these folks for the Netflix Adaptation. I don’t ask for anything less

Hey guys just wanted to say as an actor & viewer I’m still here to support this show if you guys are still making it. I really hope you get to it’s awesome and I miss these guys.

It is clear the writers knew the source material and respected it as they write their story. While this is THEIR story, they are using the threads of the existing universe and it is a wonderful adaptation. I cannot wait for more episodes!

I love how this is aged up, but doesn’t lose the cartooniness in the acting and dialogue!! This really felt like it was in the scooby doo universe without being over the top or too goofy. It doesn’t prey on nostalgia, and it uses the source material super well! Can’t wait for episode 2!

coming back and re watching this, I have reason to believe that this is the rumored live action scooby doo Show that netflix supposedly picked up. If so, awesome. If not, that sucks cuz this was still very good to rewatch

Still waiting 😭 Hopefully we'll here something soon

My sister is a huge Scooby Doo fan and I cant wait to show her this. At first I thought this was an actual official show and not a fan project. The jokes were on point, Fred is an actual character, the drama is interesting, and having Scooby not talk but Shaggy still talk to him the same is a genius way to keep them the same but not end up too silly. I can only hope that future episodes come out and that Fred gets a love of traps.

I am in disbelief. This concept is far-better than anything Hollywood could crank out, and does the Scooby Doo series the justice it deserves. I see some comments saying this should be picked up by Netflix or another streaming service, but I think not. It deserves a higher budget but the suits need to let the director and writers keep full control of this. They know exactly what they’re doing, and they’re doing it right. GREAT JOB!

A job well done. One jeepers away from perfection, you might say. Excited to watch this unfold, and hopefully, episode two will finally come

I NEED more of this, It's amazing. Y'all understood the assignment, I really hope there's going to be more❤

The sheer amount of references in this episode is actually insane! I've decided to make a list of the ones I saw. 1) Shaggy's dad being a cop as he was in an episode of one of the early series. 2) The dealer's joy juice is a reference to Flim-Flam's lotsa luck joy juice from 13 ghosts. The dealer also wears a yellow hoodie, like Flim-Flams yellow hooded jumpsuit. 3) The book Fred and Velma find in the bookstore resembles Sarah Ravencroft's spell book from witches ghost and the chest of demons from 13 ghosts. 4) Velma references Jonothan Jacobo as being haunted by the pterodactyl ghost. Jonathan Jacobo was the original pterodactyl ghost in monsters unleashed. 5) Velma also references Ben Ravencroft, a character from witches ghost. 6) The hex girls. This goes without saying. 7) The hex girls sing the song 'hex girl', from witches ghost. Again this is obvious. (Also the actresses absolutely nail the song!) 8) The 13 pillars Velma mentions are likely a reference to the 13 ghosts of Scooby Doo. 9) Fred deciding to split up with Velma just as he does in most Scooby Doo media (also they make a great duo in this) 10) Miner 49er is a classic scooby doo where are you! villain. Another obvious one. 11) Shaggy making a giant, multilayered sandwich toward the end of the episode. 12) Thorn speaks of 'high priest Van Ghoul', a reference to Vincent Van Ghoul from 13 ghosts. (Also the person on the phone to Velma's mother sounds somewhat like Vincent Price... coincident?) 13) The black knight ghosts brief cameo at the end. 14) As suggested, his lawyer is Harvey Birdman (how did I even miss that?...)

After seeing how much the Velma show disrespects fans, I totally support this show,it’s amazing and you can see the passion of the team behind this show and how much they love the series, great production and performances too.

literally came upon this channel in my reccomendations when I was revisiting the live action scooby doo movies, watched the trailer and OMGGGGG I am so glad I found this bc this is a masterpiece

OMGGG did you guys got associated with Netflix??! I can't wait to see what's next and I'm so proud of everyone who worked on this project ❤❤❤ This is the Scooby Doo we deserved

I really like what you’re doing with Daphne’s character. She’s not acting like her true self because her Parents are like “You’re a Blake and Blake’s Do This” and that just pushes her into the popular/mean girls group. I really liked that scene of Daphne basically protecting her competition so the one girl wouldn’t get in trouble. Basically I really like the direction you’re taking her character

I loved all the references for past Scooby cartoons like the hex girls and jacob Jacova

I hope this gets all the love and recognition it needs and deserves because I would love to watch an entire season of this 💜💜💜

I was NOT expecting this to be network quality or better. As a huge Scooby Doo fan, I LOVED all of the references and the fact the characters still feel like themselves! ALSO THAT MAKEUP?? IMPRESSIVE AF

This pilot highlights every single possible flaw the Velma show has because here’s this tangible proof of how making a good, modern, mature scooby doo take is very achievable. Kudos to the entire team for an incredible job!

I'm 74 years old. I remember when Scooby Doo first aired. Still has the magic combination. These continuations must be done with love and seriously performed. No farces will be tolerated. 😎 THE most favorite disc jockey in Los Angeles...Casey Kasem...was the voice of Shaggy. It was perfect.👍🏼😍

I hope the Netflix series could be like this

The fact Fred's lawyer is Harvey Birdman is an awesome touch! I actually thought this was made by the same people who made Riverdale at first because the production was so top notch but now I see it's fan made! Well done!

this looks like it wouldve sit PERFECTLY alongside The Vampire Diaries and Supernatural when they were in their prime. this is incredible.

I haven't seen much of this yet, (I haven't even reached the 2-minute mark! XD) but I can see early-on just how much of an absolute LOVE LETTER this pilot is to the original series! What I watched so far has given me tingle and I'm completely ecstatic to see where this goes. I'm a huge Scooby-Doo fan and I 120% support this project! Keep up the awesome and stellar job, guys! 😉

Your main cast already looks more college- than high school-age. If you wait much longer to start producing new episodes, they'll be chasing ghosts using canes, walkers and wheelchairs.

I love how organic fred and velma's early friendship is. That's just so sweet. Cant wait to see more!

I geeked out when I saw the Hex Girls, thinking they were just going to be a quick cameo. Imagine my shock seeing the ending. I love this so much, especially all the nods and references to past Scooby doo movies. The child in me is overjoyed.

I really hope this project didn't stall. I am soooo looking forward to an actual season of this show. I know its fan made, but man it is done SO well.

"And it would have worked, too, if it hadn't been for you meddling KIDS!!" [famous line from every Scooby Doo cartoon, ever]

The actors were incredible! Aside from them looking to be in their late 20s, which may be the exchange of having such a phenomenal cast, it was so spot-on. Especially, thinking of the Riverdale cast. 😂 Honestly, the way they incorporated "zoinks" and "jinkies" makes my heart so happy.

I actually like that Scooby doesn't talk. It shows how strong his and Shaggy's relationship is when Shaggy can understand him without Scooby speaking.

i've seen this and added it to watch later its now been a year and wanted to see how you guys were and decided to watch this masterpiece for the first time and omg the story telling and the characters and the setting is so good!!!! I do hope you guys continue your efforts and I will wait as long as it takes for more episodes keep it up guys!

Hallelujah this is the most awesome video I had ever watched. It’s like the Riverdale of Scooby Doo. This should definitely be a series on CW

Man the writing is making me wanna see Fred interact more with Velma and Daphne interact more with Shaggy because of how original this is too. I can only imagine the writing would explore so much more with the characters and their background and just screentime for different relationships (Platonic or romantic whichever may be) and about how they can contribute to the mysteries to come. GAH, IM SO EXCITED WITH THIS!!! Amazing writing and directing from Dade Elza, gosh I'm really excited.

I'm not necessarily a fan of the whole "edgy" aspect shows are going for these days. But since it's Scooby-Doo, I gave it a chance. I can't say I love it... But I certainly didn't hate it. It kept me interested, and I loved that they used actual villains and characters from the animated seasons of the show. It managed to go its own route while still remaining faithful to the source material.

46:14 Why didn't Miner 49er just keep choking Fred and tighten his grip on Fred's neck while Velma searched and cast the spell all the way through?😂 I think it's more intense when a panicked Velma struggles to find the spell while Fred is almost out of breath from being tightly choked by Miner 49er. Velma's spell will continue to work as it did in that scene and Fred will be released from Miner 49er's clutches. Just an opinion👍

I've watched this so many times and never get tired of it.

This is hands down the best depiction of Fred's character I've ever seen. And the casting is better than anything Hollywood has produced since the original live action Scooby Films

I am FULLY DOWN for this to be a full series. The amount of love and research that went into this was incredible. You guys took elements from every corner of the franchise and made something that isn't tacky or forced, but something that deserves a shot. And what a hell of a shot this would be.

This is the Scooby-Doo we need ... why isent this taken and made Ino a full show ....

This showed up in my home page on Halloween and I am so glad it did, I absolutely am in looooovvvee with this adaptation of Scooby Doo! Really brought the spooky vibe and was hooked all the way to the end and hoping for more.

Most respectful and loving modernization of the gang I have ever seen. The attention to detail is spectacular and the cast is top notch! You guys wove so much into one episode... As a lifelong fan, I am in awe. Truly perfection.

I like that Scooby Doo isn't talking that it's shaggy talking to him. It's like his coping mechanism for what's troubling him.

This needs to be a full serious for real

Man what the hell, this was so fucking awesome. I've been a Scooby Doo fan for as long as I can remember and this is actually so perfect. They actually managed to impose the ideas and characters into real life, while keeping it both realistic and in character. Not only that, they actually captured the high school aspect of in a realistic and adult way, without coming across as cringy, trying too hard or cynical. So many great references for fans as well. My only critisism, if you can even call it that, is that it has been nearly two years since it was uploaded and there has not been any more. I really hope that this can keep going. Does anyone know what the situation is on production? Any socail medias that post updates? If so, I would like to know.

Dude, this needs to be fully funded. This is the live action Scooby-Doo we needed but didn't deserve

I wasn't sure how to feel about it at first. The actors look a bit too old to play high schoolers and the dialogue seems a "cringey" at times for lack of a better word, BUT I think it's still pretty well executed. The plot is very intriguing and I look forward to seeing how it develops. The costumes, setting, and characters are also very fun and pretty dang impressive for being fan made.(Even if the dialogue is a bit strange at times, I feel like the actors are still having fun with it and knowing how cheese the lines can be) and I love that we still get to see Scooby as a huge adorable doggo😌. The interactions between Shaggy and him are so sweet and I think it's very on brand for him to be more of a comfort dog rather than a guard dog😅. Wish y'all the best in future episodes!

It’s been 2 years. When are the other episodes coming out? I’ve looked everywhere for them and there nowhere. We need to see the rest of this show!! ❤

Possibly the 13 pillars would be: 1-The Ore of 49 2-The Black Knight 3- Mummy of Ankha 4-Snow Ghost 5-Tar Monster 6-Capitain Cutler 7-Scarecrow Robot 8-Ghost Girl 9-Elias Kingston 10-10.000 Volts Ghost 11- Witch Doctor 12- Puppet Master 13- Pterodáctyl Ghost

I love how much emphasis is being put on how Daphne's parents are semi-abusive always trying to make her perfect, something they've hinted at in previous series' but never fully committed to

I just love how there is not a single frame wasted. Quick paced, straight to the point, pact with action, emotion and amazing story telling. I’m officially obsessed with this.

I really love this version of Fred. Though I hope in the future he has a few more doofus moments, not saying make him dumb but that will make him feel more like classic Fred. I love the mission Fred is on here, he will make a great leader 😉.

Man, this should be on like some of the bigger streaming platforms!

Came back to this after watching the first episode of “Velma” and I have to say, this is a million times better since you guy’s actually like Scooby-Doo

How did they do all of this with a crowd-funded budget and such a small team? Really incredibly impressive. I did keep thinking how weird it was that so many of the cast are pretty clearly like 10 years older than their characters are supposed to be, but it was so consistently like that that by the end I started wondering whether it was some kind of intentional sub-text about nostalgia for Scooby-Doo. 😂

I just found out about this. Im kind of in love! I seriously hope you're able to make more.

I'm really glad this pilot hit 4M views. Congrats to everyone involved!

The Easter eggs were fire. The lawyer being Harvey Birdman 😂

I've just finished viewing this Pilot Episode. The actors and actresses did some AMAZING work. How is it that an independent production team can stay more faithful to the original source materials than WarnerMedia itself? This is much superior to that abortion that HBOmax Shat out. Kudos to you all.
