that series is here Daphne being loaded got started.

I think Shaggy was the only one shown to have a normal middle-class house - Freddie's dad runs the equivalent of the Weekly World News, Velma's family is involved with NASA, the Doos have an extremely gaudy jewelled collar, and Daphne's so loaded that she's subscribed to a "Room of the Month" club

I remember some of the older series and the Boo Brothers movie imply that Shaggy was old money rich with an uncle of his owning a huge colonial house in one of the Harlem Globetrotters episodes.

Neat. Sweet. Petite.

yeah, though I think that got quietly dropped given Beauregard was a confederate general

The Shaggy analogue being voiced by Patton Oswolt was also an inspired choice (as was the Scooby analogue being a highly intelligent evil bird)

Also is that the only series where we ever met the gang’s families?

It was Lewis Black who voiced Mr.E/Ricky Owen’s, not Patton.

So Velma was scheduled to have two seasons,minimum, no matter what?

20ish episode orders are a common practice. Back in the day that would be one season. These days it's often spaced out to two, but they still order the same amount of episodes at the start.

Yeah pretty much. I think the only notable deviation from this bulk order practice was the first season of Invincible, which essentially had a 16 x 20 minute order anyway, just in an 8 x 40 format.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Mindy Kaling must really have high up nepo baby credentials, though being a pickme minority probably helps.

There's not gonna be legs from hatewatching, all I hear is the show is excruciatingly tedious once the bile fascination wears off.

I thought the Scrappy villain twist was pretty funny when I was in 8th grade. 22 years ago.

He plays for the dreamers that forgot how to dream, and the lovers that forgot how to love.
Scrappy was done in by executive meddling originally - according to an interview I read with his creator he was envisioned as actually being kind of effective, but he was rewritten behind his back because executives were concerned that his behaviour was imitable, plus the old cartoon rule of "If a nail sticks out a little, hammer it back in, no individuality allowed!"
