Scooby Doo

     I am way beyond my tyke-ling years, yet I am not afraid to declare my love for Scooby Doo. Except maybe on the first date with a really hot guy. When I first came to America, one of the shows that I devotedly followed was Scooby Doo. I used to sit on the couch and giggle endlessly whenever Scooby or Shaggy (oftentimes both) are being chased by a monster and start to cosplay as maids to woo the monster into submission (read: confusion). My favorite set of episodes were the late 1900 ones. I think the series is "Scooby Doo, Where are you?". The scenes were over the top and the criminals were so blatantly obvious but I loved every minute of it! Honestly though, sometimes the clues just hit Velma and Fred in the face but they just keep walking! Also, the amount of times Scooby catches the monster by accident has got to tilt the Earth's luck equilibrium. Either that or he's got leprechaun blood in him somewhere. I wish to own all the episodes of Scooby Doo and one day I probably will but for now, I am going to comment on the highway robbery that is the DVD prices! I was in Target the other day, just innocently perusing the makeup aisle with absolutely no intent on blowing some big bucks on Revlon lippies, when I somehow wandered over to the DVD aisle. There was a new Scooby Doo movie out and I flipped the case over to check the price. Holy cow, I was expecting $10 dollars for it but the price tag was like $18! Sorry man, I can shell out green bucks for some good Urban Decay products but I'm not ready for a DVD commitment yet. I'd rather just re-watch old episodes on Boomerang. Speaking of Boomerang, it's such a great channel (I have FIOS) because all the vintage cartoons are on there and I've re-discovered so many cartoons I have forgotten! For example, I used to just skip over the Teen Titan episodes but the other day, I had some free time an just decided to watch Teen Titans for the heck of it and I'm just hooked. Maybe I'm just a simple person with simple needs. If anyone asks, I am a sophisticated butterfly. They always seem to have more fun.
