Drew:  Molly, you're going to play Clock Game.  And if you can guess the prices of both prizes within 30 seconds, you'll not only win the cash bonus, but a fabulous trip.
Audience:  To WHERE, Dee???[/quote]
I was thinking he could be Olmec...

Drew:  We have a great prize for you!  Olmec?
Olmec:  *grrrrroan* You can win a trip to Paris to look for The Ragged Jock Strap of Napoleon Bonaparte.

/Please, no.
Indeed.  He's busy with American Dad!, voicing the fish.  The fish's name has slipped my mind...;-)

Actually that's not the only show that Dee Baker is doing voices for; he's voicing a character named, I kid you not: Franklin Fruitmeyer, as well as a few other characters for the new Scooby Doo show called Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated on Cartoon Network(of which i'm a big fan).

Come to think of it Scooby Doo Mystery Inc has quite a few big names in the voice cast: Patrick Warburton(the voice of Joe on Family Guy) is the voice of the sheriff of the town where the gang lives, Vivica A. Fox, who is the voice of a Disc Jockey, Lewis Black, who is the voice of a character called Mr. E and of course the usual cast members, which include Mindy Cohn, Frank Welker, Grey DeLisle and replacing Casey Kasem as Shaggy is Matthew Lillard. Plus the show is actually really good and quite a few non Scooby fans have expressed their positive reviews of it.

Isn't that the one where Velma now has an attitude (problem) with a 24/7 sleepy-eyed cynical look that you wished someone would slap off her face?  And isn't her character now written to make her "hot"?  (or so I heard...)  

If the latter, then I am convinced new Scooby series and movies MUST be written by members of Internet Scooby fandoms from the '90s.  Besides wishing Velma was hotter, I think veiled pot jokes made it to mainstream Scooby, as did the burying of Scrappy (and his erasure in promoting DVDs of series that he appeared on!)

ObGS: There was a "Mark Winkendale" character on one ep. of The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries.
I'm a pacifist, and even I would like to see a little more action.

I just hope whoever they end up going with is somewhat professional and not funny all through the show.

Agreed.  I don't want to see a repeat of the Drewcases fiasco.   Mixing it up a little is OK, but don't make it into "The Price is (Va)right(y)"

Which one was Velma? Wasn't Velma the fat one with the tinted glasses?

Yes...I never got the impression of her being anything close to hot until the live-action movie came out.

I see what you did there, will subscribe, be in my bunk, etc.

If done right, Velma > Daphne.  That was one of the instances.

/slashies because I used all the memes in a sentence

ObThread: Anybody know if Roberto did a musical number with the models, since it's going to be a "variety" show?  Or did he use "Variety" speak?

Yeah- her orange sweater is a little more "form fitting" and she doesn't look frumpy anymore. She's a lot more sarcastic now, too.

/Wasn't hot for Velma until the live movies
//Gary Cole voices Fred's Dad...
///...who happens to look just like Bill Lumbergh
////yeah......

If you didn’t create it, it isn’t your content.

No auditions needed, I guess.
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.
