Scooby Doo Mystery Inc. Episode 8 Review

Well here it is Monday Night and time for another Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated episode and time for another live blog too; tonight's edition is titled "The Grasp of the Gnome"(seriously that's the title); as I understand it after this week, Scooby Doo Mystery Inc has one new episode, and then goes into reruns, which means these live blogs will go into hiatus.

But I will return with new live blogs, when Scooby Doo Mystery Inc returns with new episodes; also I will be doing a live blog for the new Scooby live action movie Curse of the Lake Monster and I will try to do one for Scooby Doo Camp Scare as well(the new direct to video movie).

As always the live blog will be random comments throughout, so enjoy:

7:00 PM: Show Time!

7:00 PM: hey Jreb from the Velma yahoo group might like this episode, the gang's at a renessiance fair

7:01 PM: Why do people dress like pirates at a renessiance fair?

7:01 PM: Ooh, Scary Gnome; yeah, that's a Scooby Doo villain all right, wait, that's really stupid

7:02 PM: Go hang out at a seafood restaurant? Um, are there any seafood restaurants open?

7:03 PM: Geez Velma, get with the program

7:03 PM: Oh, no; please don't tell me Fred is going to go back to a geeky trap guy again; please!

7:03 PM: I'll say it again: Scary Gnomes? yeah, sure

7:04 PM: Daphne is wearing a nice outfit, and Fred doesn't notice it; well, that whole paying attention to Daphne thing didn't last long

7:04 PM: Velma seems really knowlegeable about the supernatural huh?

7:05 PM: Nothing like good moat? HA!

7:05 PM: Velma's mom has good advice; I wish she was my mom, she sounds like the type of person that would know about love

7:06 PM: A drink made of poison mushrooms and wormwood? was Velma's mom a teacher at Grimwood? Just saying

7:11 PM: Funny, these gnomes don't look friendly

7:11 PM: Wait, Fred's dad agrees with him? Um, maybe not

7:12 PM: Fairy Wrestling? Please don't let this become another Goblin King

7:12 PM: I love Shaggy's pirate outfit; cute parrot

7:13 PM: Out of room at the hospital? How?

7:13 PM: Why would they be drinking sodas, on duty no less

7:13 PM: I already saw the movie, believe me frozen with magic is the perfect way to watch it? Okay

7:14 PM: I know how he feels? Wow Velma

7:14 PM: Daphne and Velma having a talk? interesting

7:15 PM: Wait, Fred did something or said something smart? Since when?

7:16 PM: That guy's a bit jealous isn't he?

7:16 PM: A secret pirate? I thought that guy hated pirates?

7:17 PM: My brain needs a shower? very funny

7:17 PM: Shaggy got knocked out cold, and the gnome's advancing? uh oh; something tells me Velma might have to rescue him

7:19 PM: Watching a little celebrity bowling from the 70's on ESPN Classic in between breaks; oddly enough this show is actually entertaining, oh and George Foreman's participating; at least he's a better bowler then Joe Frazier was a swimmer if you know what I mean

7:21 PM: Scooby's really depressed huh?

7:21 PM: Scooby ripped Shaggy's parrot while Velma was holding it? wow, he's really ticked, or is he? And Velma actually said she actually misses him? Ah, she admits she cares

7:22 PM: Mr. E's back, YES!

7:23 PM: Danger Prone Daphne's back, nice

7:23 PM: Tree expressway? Scary highway? that's funny

7:24 PM: Scooby's the bait? Ah, now this is classic Scooby!

7:24 PM: Man that gnome's like an olympic gymnast

7:25 PM: Shaggy's tied up and gagged? that's a switch, usually it's Daphne

7:25 PM: Daphne getting steel bracelets was pretty smart

7:26 PM: The Court fool did it? WOW! Although I could kind of guess that he was the culprit

7:27 PM: A ha! the tiny feet thing was a major suprise

7:27 PM: Baby Legs? that's funny too

7:27 PM: I love how that lady kept bopping the court fool on the head

7:28 PM: Hmm... who was that guy with the hood and cape, or whatever that was? and what's with that note? and professor pericles was circled? and this has all happened before?

Well, let's see; the main plot was okay, but the Mr. E Clues are what made this episode; I wonder who that guy with the hood was, and why was professor pericles circled in the Mystery Incorporated picture? and why did Mr. E say don't give up, this happened before

I guess we'll have to wait until next week to find out more; the Fraphne moments were good, and it really looks like Fred still cares for Daphne, although the Shelma thing is still shaky, Velma did tell Fred and Daphne about her and Shaggy, and Scooby was still growling at her, but overall Fred and Daphne seem to understand, although Scooby's still on the fence

The one thing that is interesting to me about this episode is Fred's comments about Shaggy and Velma's relationship; it's good advice, but I hope Velma doesn't take the advice too seriously, I mean I would still like it to work out, but who knows at this point

As for a rating: I would go with 7 out of 10; the culprit was a little too easy to figure out and the villain was kind of dumb, but it was a decent episode, back next week for another live blog and review and then a bit of a hiatus until the next new Scooby Doo episode.
