I can see a lot of serious questions and concerns, however this is something I need to know...
...
Is that Sheriff's design based on Don Knotts?

Looks great to me personally. Just a fun entertaining time You do know the writers are transphobic right? A cursory google search doesn't mention anything about that so... citation needed. |

And a Twitter like can mean absolutely nothing. The only other thing I've seen regarding Kaling and anything regarding her stance on trans people is her publicly supporting one of her co-stars for coming out as trans so...
Another thing is that Kaling isn't a writer on the show.

I don’t think it looked very good. I’ll probably watch a couple to see. I’m not against changing up characters exactly, but even as beat to death as the Scooby franchise is, it will take some getting used to.
I like Glenn Howerton; excited to see his VA work

Also, Mindy really is big on supporting Narendra Modi, the prime minister of India, who wants Hindu purity in India and has gone on a massive Islamophobic campaign since taking office, and supports the caste system. These are posts she has made on social networks. |

Also, two things about this show.
1. People will argue that "high school is more relatable than college" yet we keep seeing people write either college tropes in high school or the most clique tripe that's been regurgitated for decades. And the characters are almost always incoming freshmen.
2. When you suck at character writing, do token lesbianism.

I’m just legitimately shocked that there are people who actually want MORE Scooby-Doo. The franchise already has over a dozen TV series and more than 40 movies under its belt, what more could you possibly want from it that you haven’t already gotten?

I am confused over how it is ok that Shaggy only becomes 'Shaggy' when a black man decides to smoke a joint.
That just feels like a whole ball of ass backwards stereotyping.

That's something that really bugs me with this show's depiction of Shaggy. I don't at all mind the idea of changing around the races of some of the crew but if you were going to make one of them black does it have to be the one who most easily falls into being a tired stereotype by doing so? |

Exactly this. It's a cartoon, go ahead and do whatever depiction you want, but dont try and virtue signal on one hand, while completely sticking your fingers up on the other! |

I saw a commercial for this and I gotta say it looks pretty bad.
I mean, seriously? Alpha/Beta male humor?

Literally all the clips I have seen have shown the show committing one of two of the biggest comedy sins imo.
The first sins is repeating a “joke” over and over that isn’t funny, in the vain hope that either the repetition itself becomes funny or it wears down the audience enough to get them to finally laugh.
The second sin is tossing out a joke and then have that character in depth explain the joke. Even outside of the barely fitting the characters the show is, it just seems to be bad on a pure comedic level.

Well... can't say that joke was particularly advisable.
(refering to the second tweet, I didnt want the first one to show up but the embeds autoamtically do that)

Because the kind of people who would "get" these kinds of "jokes" are probably too busy complaining about "forced diversity". |
