With more people staying at home looking to stay safe and avoid contracting the COVID-19 virus, more television companies and services are taking chances to create more interesting content.
The latest content that has fans excited has to do with Scooby-Doo. Today, HBO announced it’s going to launch a 10-episode animated comedy series focused on Velma.
According to the release, the show will be geared towards adults and feature the “unsung and underappreciated brains” of the Scooby-Doo gang. It will also “unmask the complex and colorful past of one of America’s most beloved mystery solvers.”
The main character will be voiced by none other than Mindy Kaling of The Office and Inside Out, among other movies and television shows.

While Kaling will serve as the main voice for the series, she will also serve as the show’s executive producer, along with Charlie Grandy, Howard Klein and Sam Register.
However, this is not the only series in the works at HBO Max.
The service said that they are going to launch a new series called Fired on Mars and a Clone High reboot, which will feature the voice of Pete Davidson of Saturday Night Live fame.
There’s no word on when any of the new animated series will officially launch, but it sounds like they will be ready to stream at some point in 2021.
Velma was always the hot one
Yeah, Daphne was such a ….nerd!
How much you wanna bet she will come out as gay?
Or worse.
Or TG. That outranks gay on the woke scale. 🙂
Nah…she’ll be trans species. She’ll identify as Scooby Doo.
This comments thread is hilarious!
She will also know karate and be virtually indestructible, easily able to beat up men three times her size.
Fred will be a closeted, inept gay, and Shaggy will be the Secret King Hiding In Plain Sight.
Scooby will be voiced by Morgan Freeman and will be wise in dog years.
lol!
Without a doubt.
They’re going to have to change Velma’s skin tone, right? If Hank Azaria can no longer voice Apu, then why can Mindy Kaling voice Velma? And while we’re on that topic, why is a 60+ year-old white woman (Nancy Cartwright) allowed to be the voice of a 10 year-old kid (Bart Simpson) who obviously has a SEVERE case of jaundice?
I think there will be a surprise cameo from Peppermint Patty in at least one of the episodes. Season-ending cliffhanger perhaps?
At this point I’m probably not watching any tv series that was created after 2015. Reruns of 90s through about early 2010 sitcoms and dramas will suffice.
I am working my way through Magnum, PI. Back when television was goddamned television!
Just got started on Frazier myself, only watched a few episodes sporadically back in the day so a lot of it is new to me.
Frazier is very well written in my opinion and hilarious!
Mindy Kaling? Not only is she terribly unfunny but her voice makes my skin crawl. Besides, isn’t that cultural appropriation having an Indian voice a white girl??? To answer you question hell fucking no I won’t be watching.
sounds awful. rewriting history usually is.
