Anyone catch last night’s crossover between Supernatural and Scooby-Doo. I’ve never watched Supernatural, but couldn’t resist the crossover. Nice use of a first season episode of Scooby, with the right amount of references to classic Scooby tropes. ---

I haven’t watched it yet, but there have been several “goofy” episodes of the show, including one where [Sam and Dean are trapped in various TV genres](http://supernatural.wikia.com/wiki/Changing_Channels), [one where people are dying cartoon character deaths](http://supernatural.wikia.com/wiki/Hunteri_Heroici), [an episode where Dean can talk to animals](http://supernatural.wikia.com/wiki/Dog_Dean_Afternoon) (and starts to take on dog personality traits), [a _Groundhog’s Day_ episode](http://supernatural.wikia.com/wiki/Mystery_Spot), and [a _Drop Dead Fred_ episode](http://supernatural.wikia.com/wiki/Just_My_Imagination) ([among others](https://www.buzzfeed.com/louispeitzman/the-25-most-wtf-episodes-of-supernatural?utm_term=.qn999P3zM#.li900ovn2).) ---

I love the fact that it didn’t turn out to be a dream sequence and/or the result of a brain injury.. The animation was superb, and the interaction between the characters really worked, and confirmed my long-held belief that Velma was always the hottie in the group. ---

According to TV Tropes, when the characters are running in and out of doors (a/k/a “Scooby Doors” or “French Farce Doors”), at one point you can see Scrappy Doo. ---

It’s a great show and I recommend almost all of those episodes. All of them you listed stream on Netflix. Long live Supernatural! ---

Just watched it, and it was made of pure awesome. An even better cartoon crossover than _G.I. Jeff._ ---

Crowley is due for a comeback, too. Also (speculation about future episodes) The introduction of that character that is older/more powerful than Chuck and Chick in that place where all “dead” angels go can’t be just a one-off appearance. There should be a release of other dead angels and archangels from past seasons by the season finale. ---

We’ve abandoned it currently, stuck it until last season, but barely remembered any comedy in about 7 or 8 seasons. Last memorable comedy one was the one where they ended up in this world, where they were actors filming Supernatural. Nice to hear there might be a reason to watch this season then… ---

I gave up last year but came back for this one too. It was the best SPN I’ve seen in a long time, but… it wasn’t as good as say NUTCRACKER! ---

Saw it tonight. Very funny. I love that they convinced the Scooby-gang that ghosts are real and forced themselves to walk it back before exiting TV-land. “Who cares if we die? Scooby-Doo could die!” ---

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > …Because nobody stays dead for more than three episodes. 😃 Only if the character is equipped with a penis. The vast majority of reoccurring female characters who have died stayed dead. Jessica, Ellen, Jo, Bela, Charlie, Meg, Ruby, Anna, Pamela, Tessa… The only exceptions are Mary and Rowena. ---
