  2. 80% here, too. I don’t know the Scooby-Doo plots, but I know the weird news stories!

    I didn’t think Scooby was up on snow boarding.

  5. 90%

    Brought back memories of sitting on my babysitter’s living room floor. And some memories that will never be discussed with children.

  7. 80% as well.
    The fake haunting at the castle got me, it just seemed so Scooby-ish!

  8. I scored 90%! I missed #8. Keep in mind I’m a single parent of a 13 year old girl. I have watched many a cartoon with my daughter.

  9. I got 8 out of 10. I missed 5 and 7.

  10. The fact that you also picked from the shows that were produced in the last decade killed me. I would have got a perfect score if it wasn’t for your meddling. Or something like that.

  11. zoinks! 90%, thanks to my daughter. She’s my handy excuse for becoming addicted to the new scooby doo episodes.

  12. Great quiz!

    But, as for “worthless Confederate money”, check the prices that Confederate notes fetch on ebay these days. A crook might find it very worthwhile to bump off three or four unwanted relatives to get a trunkful of Confederate bills.

  13. I didn’t know they were still making Scooby Doo episodes, so the snowboarding one got me. And the fake haunting…and a few others. I only made a 50%!

  14. 80%. I think I would have had 100% if the questions were from the “original” Scooby Doo episodes.

  15. 80% here. The show is so formulaic that I’m ashamed for not getting 100%. In both cases BTW I guessed news story when it was Scooby. If there had been a question involving the Harlem Globtrotters I would have done better.
