Maybe because scooby doo was my least favorite cartoon as a kid, on Saturday mornings it came on once the good shows were done and it was time to play video games, but I didn’t mind Velma. It wasn’t great, I’m not going to go out of my way defending it, but it was a solid okay. I don’t get the hate, it seems overblown for a mid show. It had some jokes, solid sleep time show rewatch (to ruin any credibility my opinion has, brickleberry is in the same category for me).
The 90s Scooby Doo cartoons were pretty awful cash grabs and a far cry from even the first, what 3-4 Scooby shows. Everything from Scrappy Doo until the 2000s reboot (Mystery Inc, which my kids LOVED) was junk.
Scooby Doo started truly scraping the bottom of the barrel when they decided the ghosts were real. The one thing I respected the original show for was that it was about being a skeptic and overcoming your fear of the supernatural, because the supernatural wasn’t real.

Ouch, yeah, brickleberry. Ouch.
My thinking with sleep time shows is they need to be predictable, with the occasional joke.
Interesting enough so that when I’m trying to sleep, but can’t I can chuckle, but not so interesting that I want to open my eyes and look.
You know, a generic mid show.
That makes sense. Mine are just shows that I’ve already watched a million times.
I don’t want to give myself a Pavlovian response to fall asleep during shows I actually like, lol
Ah, that makes sense. I listen to science/astronomy videos on YouTube to fall asleep
Which version of scooby doo? The original run of the show was very different from what it morphed into.
Whatever was on Saturday morning in ~'94, can’t honestly say.
It came on and was boring so I didn’t pay attention.

Im with you on Velma. It wasn’t all that bad, and the art direction at times was impressive for what they were going for.
the wording on this comment sounds like copium to me…
okay…
