A Pup Named Scooby-Doo - The Babysitter From Beyond
Season 1, Episode 6
Quickly
A night out at the cinema is interrupted by an escaped prisoner.
Thoughts, Details and Recap
"On a dark and stormy night", Shaggy and Scooby tangle with something familiar from the television I had in my bedroom as a kid, the bunny ears. Shaggy and Scooby are going to see a scary movie with the rest of the gang. They plan to stop at the theater to meet the gang before dropping Sugie at the sitter. It's too sweet to see how much Shaggy loves his little sister.
Shaggy's scared by a Mr. Boogedybones dummy at the theater. It's very much not shocking when the dummy moves.
The whole gang goes with Shaggy and Scooby to drop off Sugie. Things go wrong quickly. They run from the babysitter because she looks like the Bride of Boogedybones.
The gang investigates a Boogedybones in the basement of the babysitter's house. The gang gets clues and suspects from the newsman who usually only chimes in for a joke. This time he tells the gang that a criminal has escaped prison and the babysitter was the criminal's girlfriend.
Shaggy suggests they call his dad, the cop. It is the most rational suggestion I've ever heard. Of course, it doesn't work because the phone line is cut. Velma has the second most rational reaction, she creates a plan to contact the police and a plan to keep the criminal out of the house. Both plans are complicated by Sugie crawling off to the babysitter. They get Sugie back through a long chase sequence.
Shaggy's dad sees the message and they capture the criminal and Boogedybones. The criminal is captured and Boogedybones is revealed as the girlfriend.
I'll put this as one of the best episodes. The only thing I didn't like was the scene with Velma making the babysitter's picture look like the girlfriend.
