SCOOBY-DOO! MEETS THE BOO BROTHERS

Air Date/Released Sunday, October 18, 1987
Station/Studio Hanna-Barbera Prods. / TBS

Scooby, Shaggy and Scrappy head to the Louisiana bayou when Shaggy inherits his late Uncle Beauregard’s plantation. The welcome mat is not out when the gang encounters an ape escaped from a local zoo, a disagreeable Sheriff, a greedy butler, a backwoods beauty and her shotgun-toting brother, and several ghosts, including that of Uncle Beauregard himself. To exterminate the ghosts, a call for help goes out to The Boo Brothers... who themselves are ghosts, intent more on fooling around than working. Amidst all this, Shaggy and his canine friends follow clues to the hidden Beauregard gem fortune.

The Boo Brothers are based on The Three Stooges, complete with Brooklyn-ese speech, dialogue, Moe haircut, bops, slaps, etc., all the trademarks. A couple tweeks were done to avoid a complete swipe, such as making the ‘Curly’ character (Shreako) look like Larry, while the ‘Larry’ character (Meako) is the overweight middleman.
