Quickly

It's a Scooby-Doo Christmas Carol.

Thoughts, Details and Recap

This is kind of a bummer episode. It was one of the first ones I saw on Boomerang. I didn't enjoy the epilogue. It was a little too cynical. 

Multiple shows have taken on A Christmas Carol. One of the best in my opinion was Ducktales which shows the three ghosts having a friendship with the Scrooge McDuck. It was a nice notion.

The gang are versions of themselves that lived in 1843 (Or they're immortal). They've traveled to England. The ghost tries to show Velma how the gang is holding her back to disrupt the gang's mystery solving. They solve the mystery and unmask Scrooge's doctor.

It's not a new story for Velma's character. They've touched on her aspirations conflicting with the joy she feels as part of Mystery Inc. a couple times. This series made a point of developing the internal lives of the characters and developing them. It's something I really appreciate about this series.
