Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! - The People Vs. Fred Jones
Season 1, Episode 26
Quickly
Fred is put on trial.
Thoughts, Details and Recap
Fred is framed as the villain by the villain and must defend himself at trial. This is one of highest stakes for an episode. Aside from the multiple times people try to murder them throughout the series.
I'm not going to recap this because I don't want to. I think this episode works because it is both a familiar story form for the episode to take and a unique episode in Scooby-Doo history to the best of my recollection. There's a lot of Scooby-Doo. I've seen a lot of Scooby-Doo. I don't remember another trial episode. This show excels when it creates episodes that are unique and work within the Scooby-Doo formula like this one. It also makes sense in reality because a bunch of teenagers trespassing in a restricted area open themselves to legal charges.
There's a great sight gag when they show the jury is composed of previous villains from this series.
The monster reminds me of Toxie (The Toxic Avenger). It's a mutant created by the toxic waster in the town.
Majorly, I love Gus and his Snacks by Gus. Heavy and awesome. I love the creative artistic flourishes like the food designs.
