Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! - Professor Huh? Part 1 and 6 3/4

Season 2, Episode 24

Premiered March 16, 2018

Quickly

Fred reunites with his father and his former childhood friend.

Thoughts, Details and Recap

The gang is invited to a bank but find out they haven't been asked to investigate. They were invited there by Fred's other old friend and rival. Rose reveals Fred's father, a supervillain, has escaped prison. This is a tragic backstory for Fred.

I like Fred's dad. I wish Rose wasn't involved in the story. I understand her purpose but I'm not interested in her. She's just an obvious villain. 

Professor Huh? is a fun villain. It was fun to see Scooby and Shaggy's gag get turned around on them. I love the hand puppet. He's still a very tragic figure in the sense that he seems like he's suffering from a compulsion. The show never touches on a motivation for Professor Huh?'s crimes that would shed light on the events that seemingly destroyed Fred's family. They also never discuss Fred's mother.

The Mystery Machine modifications are some of the best. The split up and the bottom feeder modifications are really fun.

They pulled in a lot of references to prior episodes that add to the episode. There's Daphne's feud with sea creatures, Fred's childhood friends, the puppets and more.
