Indeed, he'll have a cunning plan somewhere in there no doubt. And what of Scooby Doo himself, you know, the dog. Is that going to be computer generated? And Scrappy (Let me at 'em, let me at 'em) Doo - that computer generated too?

And before anyone starts, I know it was Tony (Baldrick) Robinson who always had the cunning plan - I just used the quote as he was co-star.

Yes, realistically, Velma should be pudgier with shorter hair, Daphne should be taller, and Fred's hair should be poofier.

And I may be wrong, but isn't Shaggy that guy who was the killer in Scream?

A CGI Scoob? okay, but will he at least LOOK like a Great Dane?

Screech? SCREECH! That's exactly who I was thinking of. Dustin Diamond, was that his name?

As far as I can tell he was in "Saved By The Bell;" then "Saved By The Bell: The Next Generation;" followed by "Saved By The Bell: Class Room Nine;" and "Saved By The Bell: Detentioner."

And, of course, the as-yet-un-named "Saved By The Bell: Series 5." Which may not feature the name "Saved By The Bell" and could even be a prequel, featuring the adventures of Screech and his pals in kindergarten. . .

I was wondering about Scooby myself... since he'll be CGI, will he have an actual "voice" too or just some dog barking out something? I hope they can manage to pull his voice off without going too doggish or too human.

Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :

I think he'll probably speak like he does in the cartoon. Going by the above photo, I don't think that they're striving for a realistic recreation of the 1970s.

Who to do his voice though? I think Billy West did it in the first of the recent cartoons (he either did Scoob or Shaggy), but I think other people have done him in the other two.

If you think Wufei can be a bit odd with Nataku, you ain't ever seen Duo with Deathscythe. He talks to his Gundam. And we've been told that it sometimes talks back.

I feel sorry for Marina Sirtis in a way because when she got the role of Deanna Troi, she probably got it because of her looks. Now that Trek is finished, she now has to show that she can act....which for her would probably be more difficult than any of the labours of Hercules.

I saw her on Casualty (a TV show here in UK for the non Brits) a couple of months ago, and she was crap! I hope she's saved her money from the Trek days anyway. Barring that, she could always become the Spurs mascot and travel with the team I s'pose.

What you disagree?

She was actually on casualty?

Yeah, a couple of months ago. She played a politician who was having an affair with a local businessman. The hotel they're doing the wild thing in burns, and they have to get out. She spends the rest of the episode worrying about whether the press will find out. Decent episode because of the rest of the storylines, but her acting lacked greatly. She never was very good anyway. Remember her "Do you think you have the monopoly on loss" speech to Riker in Gambit? Truly cringeworthy.

But are these episodes of D:M from the current season?

Yeah, we did used to get US shows often months delayed. Now, it depends on their popularity, since I'm guessing it costs more to buy them immedietly. So, Friends is about a dozen episodes in on digital channel E4, and starting on tererestrial TV in a couple of weeks. Buffy and Angel are usually only a couple of weeks behind, and sometimes get shown only a couple of days after the US showing.

Unfortunatly, lots of people have failed to see the brilliance of Diagnosis: Murder (and Quincy), so they don't feel the need to buy it so quickly. It's in a niche slot.
