Don't get me wrong — some of my favorite capers took place within this version of the show. In fact, one of my favorite episodes of all time is "The Ghost of the Bad Humor Man," which finds the gang stuck in an ice-cream factory (so many factories in their world! Dilly Dally Dolly factory, the soda factory in the Okee Fenokee swamp, this one — yowza). I love that the ghosts come in three flavors. I'll actually cover that in greater detail when I post about the lasting food impressions I have from the shows, but for now, I'll just say this one's up there with Mama Cass's candy factory adventures. Is it any wonder I turned out to be a foodie? And a junk-food junkie?
So, I remember the iconic episodes — great! But who the heck is Dynomutt? Well, according to Wikipedia, him:
He was a robotic superhero of some sort, owned by a wealthy business who also had a secret identity. Ok, then. Sounds like a Batman ripoff. I hope I'm able to find these Scooby episodes without having to sit through Dynomutt. It's just weird to me that I can specifically remember the ice-cream wrappers and talking dolls and the weird glow of the phantom football player's helmet, but I can't even recall a general overview of this half of the show at all.
