Notes/trivia

  • This plot follows the idea of It's a Wonderful Life, in which a man sees how bad things would be in his town if he had never been born.
    • The villain, "The Plotter", is an echo of the villain in that movie, Mr. Potter.
  • Scooby-Doo had a similar experience in the The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo episode, It's A Wonderful Scoob.

Reception

It's a Wonderful Xmas from Scooby-Scooby-Doooooooooooo. Shaggy takes a tumble while fleeing from an imaginatively conceived masquerade by Pope and McRae. His trip to la-la land has him dreaming a little dream where Mystery Inc. never existed.

Simmons takes a time-honored tradition through the magnifying glass of the sleuth. Despite being consistently scared witless--evidenced by hilarious wild takes from the Shagster, Shaggy quickly learns that it's preferable to a world over-run by flamboyant real estate scammers. Bonus bell ringing for Simmons having Shaggy solve the mystery that led him to the insight.[1]
