SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 22:00 Min.
First aired on the Boomerang Channel on October 1, 2020, this episode’s guest star is Liza Koshy. In a rare instance, Scooby & Shaggy select the gang’s mystery this time, which involves Liza Koshy’s free all-you-can-eat pizza giveaway. The ominous catch, as they find out, is that it’s really bait for them to help her investigate a haunted house live on the internet. As Mystery Inc. and Ms. Koshy find out, the home’s ghostly previous owner insists on them scramming, as in ASAP.

REVIEW:
What a disappointment! Not only is this uninspired mystery dumbed down to the lowest denominator, but, once again, Fred is reduced to a stereotypical dimwit obsessed with his ridiculously convoluted traps. Even more glaring is Koshy’s less-than-appealing depiction. Unlike her vibrant live-action presence, her animated counterpart comes off as obnoxiously self-involved recording her internet scoops. Let’s just say the antics of Koshy’s character, per the script, quickly grow tiresome.
Throughout the franchise’s half-century history, there have been any number of fun ‘haunted house’ capers. This one, however, simply isn’t one of them.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 2 Stars
