I hope the final episode is the real Velma waking up from a horrible nightmare. They then stop a killer and remove its mask revealing it's Mindy Kaling herself.

The episode ends with Scooby saying "Scooby dooby doooooo re hehehehehehe!!!"

The funny thing is if everybody that bitched about the show (and continues to do so) wouldn't have said a thing, the show likely wouldn't have been renewed. By all metrics, both audiences and critics think it's bad, but by proclaiming so loudly that it's the worst show ever they actually drummed up interest in and made it one of HBO's most watched shows.

No one watches shows that are just bad. You tell me something isn't good, I probably won't watch it. But if you tell me it's one of the worst shows ever? I'm interested. I want to see how it's that bad, it's like watching a car wreck.

  • Has absolutely nothing to do with the source material at all
  • The finished product had a completely different (and crappier) art direction than what was initially promised
  • Isn't funny; none of the jokes land at all
  • None of the plots are interesting at all
  • None of the characters are likable or interesting; especially the protagonist
  • Entire show reeks of Mindy Kaling projecting her insecurities and negative traits onto the characters

Doesn't everybody know by now that these shows are having the second season worked on before the first is airing due to how animation schedule is? This isn't an indication of reception or success one way or the other.

Because when something is VASTLY different, just call it a new IP. Mystery Incorporated changed things up but was still recognizable as Scooby Doo.

Pretty sure Mindy had plans for a different show where she was the main character and the studio forced the Scooby Doo thing on it. That's what I heard anyway. If it's true, it's kind of funny to watch everyone force the hate onto her for it even though it wasn't her thing.

I can't recall where I heard it cause I watched a few vids close together. Im always interested in the perception of people more than the show lol

This was always a vanity project. I wouldn't be surprised if Mindy Kaling had enough pull to get a second season regardless of the numbers.

Hate-watching is a bad idea though. Continuing to place your hand on the hot stove will not warrant different results. They're not going to introduce Scooby Doo in the third episode and have Mystery Inc start looking and acting like Mystery Inc. After two episodes, you should know whether or not it's a show that you're going to enjoy.

One side boycotted Hogwarts which only helped its popularity. The other side boycotted Velma which also only helped its popularity. Maybe if people don't like something they should just move on and not talk about it.

Who are these people crawling out of the woodworks to defend the show all of a sudden. Ive never heard of any reasons why this show is bad - do you live under a rock or something???

anyways, they probably were already working on season 2 before they released season 1

If it didn't hijack the Scooby Doo name then it would just be a regular bad Family Guy ripoff.

The fact that they did have to hijack the Scooby Doo name should tell you everything.

Hell, Scooby Doo himself isn't even in it.

Not really buying the whole "They already were working on season 2 regardless!" theory considering WB has been cancelling animated shows left and right even if they were in production.

Just seems like another time where the internet knows jack shit.

Usually if people are talking about a show a lot it's successful. Regardless of what people are saying.

Little bit of a different situation. People weren't meme-ing Velma to success. They were all getting rage boners and hate watching which ironically boosted ratings.

Sony was just dumb in not realizing that Morbius was a massive joke from the beginning and only later became a bona-fide meme, which naturally their out of touch marketing department took as a good thing.

The main crew are all in high school. Velmas mom disappeared 2 years ago, and the show ultimately revolves around her trying to find her mom. Other side plots are her trying to repair a long broken friendship with Daphne (a popular girl, while Velma is mostly friendless), Norville simping over Velma while she basically shuns him, Fred being a brain dead idiot, and an entire thing where a serial killer is on the loose, seemingly cutting out the brains of all of the hot girls in the high school.
