Well, this is a switch isn't it; it's Tuesday night, and finally after a long, looong wait, it's time for a new episode of Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated.
Tonight, we have an episode that can only be described as EPIC!(Sorry); tonight's installment of SDMI(or Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated if you prefer) is one for the history books and one that is going to be remembered for years to come(unless you believe Harold Camping or the Mayans, but we won't get into that, not tonight).
Tonight's episode is called "Mystery Solvers Club State Finals", and features not only Scooby and the gang, but also Speed Buggy and his friends, Jabberjaw and his friends, Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels, and Funky Phantom and his crew. I don't want to give anything away, but this crossover episode promises to be one for the ages, and must be seen to be believed.
This will be another live blog, and just as a reminder, some of the live blogs will be regular blogs this summer; as I have other plans for Tuesday nights, so unless the weather's bad, or something changes, I will be doing live blogs every Tuesday through at least late June.
Basically this is going to go all over the place, and it will be random comments as usual; which is how I write these things :)

Well, other then the fact that we didn't see the Actual Mystery Solvers State Finals, I liked the episode. I rate it a 10 out of 10; 10 being the best of course. Next week we'll get back to the Crystal Cove mystery and things look very interesting for the rest of this season; very promising as well.
Stay tuned to this blog as usual, and I will see you all next week with a brand new Scooby Doo live blog.

Agreed! I loved how they were able to capture old Scooby so well.
@SpiderScooby: Yeah, it was a pretty good episode. Although, now that I think of it, it's too bad we couldn't see the actual Mystery Solvers state finals; partly because it would be interesting to see who the other real teen mystery solvers were and what they looked like.
I watched the replay Thursday, and commented over on ToonZone.
Jim Cummings was the voice of Cavey here, and gave him Hulk-style dialogue. Kind of out-of-character, IMPO.
Not on board with Mudsy as the villain, but it was obvious when he "disappeared" and Infernicus suddenly showed that he'd pulled a quick change. I don't think the writers did their research on Funky Phantom, and, oh, is that going to come back, dare I say it, to haunt them when I get done with my revamp over at TZ's Story Board, coming soon....
@hobbyfan, believe me, I know how good your revamps for old shows are and something tells me it's going to be very good.
Yeah, Jim Cummings was decent as Captain Caaaaaavemannn!!!(Sorry, couldn't resist :) The hulk style dialogue was a little weird too; I didn't really notice that much, but it was definitely recognizable.
The Funky Phantom as the villain thing was a little weird, although in a way the writers did do their research.
The name the Funky Phantom used at the end of the dream sequence when he revealed his plan after capture was based on the original Funky Phantom's name.
The Funky Phantom's name(and I don't remember the exact one, but somebody can correct me) was something Muddlemore, and that might have been the name the dream Funky Phantom used in this episode.
So, in a way, the writers were kind of shouting out to the original show, even if they did make him the villain of the piece.
Although seeing all those old shows makes me want to see the episodes of them again, or a new version of each show(of course considering Boomerang, Speed Buggy and Jabberjaw are no problem, but as for Funky Phantom and Captain Caveman, vault city as it were).
Of course, there is a way to see the latter two shows *coughcoughYoutubecoughcough*, but I digress.
It was, in fact, Jonathan Muddlemore.
Since Funky Phantom has not been in regular rotation on Boomerang in so long, and the writers were too lazy to actually ask for old tapes to borrow for research, well, as a certain super babe was fond of saying back in the day, spacey, real spacey.
@hobbyfan, that's right; too bad the writers couldn't, oh I don't know, search the episodes out for more information on the show.
