  • wiki: link

Scooby Saturday takes us back to another mystery involving some meddling kids and their talking dog. While investigating a Toxic Monster in Silver Springs, Fred (Frank Welker) is arrested and put on trial by District Attorney Dayton Knight (Nolan North) who accuses Fred of being the monster (a premise not helped by his friends confirming the monster was “Fred-sized”) and creating the very mysteries he then solves.

The unusual setup still allows for various gang shenanigans in flashbacks, and when testifying on the stand, while giving Daphne (Grey DeLisle) a larger role as Fred’s defense lawyer after she gets her “degree” by beating a video game on her phone. Highlights include both Daphne and Velma (Kate Micucci) getting their head shaved, the villain’s continued frustration at what the judge allows in her courtroom, and the “help” of Fred’s friends only making him look even more guilty before the true monster is unmasked.
