The producers consider Scrappy Doo a huge mistake too
We all make mistakes, and when it comes to showbiz, it always has to do with someone thinking a new character will revitalize a show. Back in 1979, they decided to get rid of Fred, Daphne and Velma, and added in Scrappy; Scooby’s nephew.
He was universally hated by all the fans, and they brought Daphne back in 1983, and the rest of the gang shortly after. Scrappy then went on to become the villain in the first live action movie.
