So Shaggy use to have a small dog call Zoinks, I knew that this was a Dr. Phibes plot when he growl Scooby.
Scooby also use to have a owner before Shaggy.
Who was more dangerous ?

Seriously I always thought Scooby was Shaggys from the geto. That's what was said in every series LOL. Shaggys dog might be possible 
You all realize this was all just made up on the spot, right? It was an unfunny self-parody of Shaggy's common catchphrase. For this very reason, I decided to not even bother with it. Come next episode, it will be as though it never happened.
They know better than that, and I hope they shape up by the next episode.

I saw *most* of this episode---thanks to my poor cable TV reception on my Kids' WB station, I didn't get to see the new episode last week, and couldn't see part of the first half of this episode (but still heard the audio). I was really hoping to see what their depiction of young (pre-"Pup Named Scooby Doo" I assume) Shaggy looked like (anyone with any screen shots of this?).

- As the above poster noted, I also don't care for the idea that Shaggy had a different dog before Scooby came along (more OK somewhat with Scooby having had a different owner before Shaggy, though it reminds me of Snoopy's backstory in "Peanuts" having had briefly a different owner before Charlie Brown). "Zoinks" if anything looks more like the type of dog Shaggy's *mother* might've had (which might be a way to explain him away), vs. the kind of dog Shaggy would've chosen.
Hmm, for that matter, I don't think there's been a real "how Shaggy got Scooby" "origin story" at all in any of the Scooby spinoffs (there's "Scooby Goes Hollywood"'s version, but given the ages of the gang/lack of Shaggy being present when he's shown being bought(!)/the "Roger Rabbit" setup of the whole special, etc., can't imagine that "counting" at all). Though I always just assumed Shaggy's parents took him to buy a puppy when Shag was quite young, and Shaggy wound up getting (puppy) Scoob as a pet and lifelong friend...
- Liked the bits with the lasers somehow hitting Phibes (and the remark by Dr. Trebla about "even money" on the multiple-laser-shots hitting him at the end).
Next week looks like the whole "Dr. Albert as Trebla" subplot might move forward--wonder if Phibes finally figures it out, or something...
