Charles Schultz's final decision to the series and a very wise one at that.
Not allowing anyone else take the reins after his death. God knows what would have been done with it by now.

Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated producer Tony Cervone confirmed a long-standing theory by explaining that the show's incarnation of classic Scooby-Doo! character Velma Dinkley was, in fact, written as a gay woman.
Cervone interjected during an argument between two Scooby-Doo! fans in the comment section of an Instagram post, which had depicted Velma and the character of Marcie Fleach in a romantic relationship. One commenter decried the post on the grounds that Mystery Incorporated saw Velma in a relationship with Shaggy Rogers, while another cited previous revelations about the show pertaining to how Velma and Marcie were ostensibly both bisexual and how there were plans for Velma to break up with Shaggy. It is at this point that Cervone chimed in.
"I've said this before, but Velma in Mystery Incorporated is not bi. She's gay," the producer wrote. "We always planned on Velma acting a little off and out of character while she was dating Shaggy because that relationship was wrong for her and she had unspoken difficulty with the why. There are hints about the why in that episode with the mermaid, and if you follow the entire Marcie arc it seems as clear as we could make it 10 years ago."
Despite apparently not being allowed by the network to address Velma's sexuality in more explicit terms at the time (Mystery Incorporated ran from 2010 to 2013), Cervone explained, "I don't think Marcie and Velma had time to act on their feelings during the main timeline, but post reset, they are a couple. You can not like it, but this was our intention."
Velma in the movie is really hot!
I’d guess the adult film crowd has explored the subject of Velma and the rest of those meddling kids.
The same kids who are guilty of numerous offences themselves.
Cracked.com discussed it once.
Well, that certainly clears that up!
I truly hope they leave the Charlie Brown characters alone.
On a side note, I just thought Scooby-Doo’s Velma was a brain/nerd and had no room for dating.
It never, ever, once crossed my mind to think of any of the characters as sexual elements.
Lefties just must be so perverted inside.
For the past several years, Velma has been promoted as the true hot one. I think it was started by these homely liberal girls in social media who saw themselves in her, but then truly hot women started cosplaying her and took it away from the freaks. LMAO.
Adolph Hitler was gay. So was Ted Bundy. And Pol Pot.
“What else can I say? Everyone is gay!”
Next they’ll tell us that Fred Flintstone is really gay and Wilma was his beard.
The HBO version of the character is more Sam Spade than Perry Mason.
Wilma Flintstone was the sexiest woman who ever lived.
The two should never mix.
Radio’s Sam Spade that I like a lot was voiced by supposed commie Howard Duff. I try to ignore that bit when I listen.
Right? I grew up in the ‘90’s on old-school Scooby, and this is horrifying. I’m bisexual, but I don’t need EVERY SINGLE SERIES to attempt to cater to those who aren’t heterosexual. It really doesn’t matter; it’s a damn cartoon! Leave it alone! Little kids don’t need that crap shoved in their faces day in and day out, because they don’t understand it anyway.
You’ll never see me at LGBTQETC events or pride parades. It’s all propagandistic bullsh!t, and no place for children (where there are usually many, frighteningly).
Never.
These pricks are destroying my childhood.
I knew she was a dyke before I knew what a dyke was. Doesn’t ruin my childhood memories.
It’s a kids and early teens cartoon, for goodness sake!!! leave the sex OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!
I believe she actually had a crush on Charlie Brown, but he never noticed it, perhaps because he was always trying for the Little Red Haired Girl.
Not allowing anyone else take the reins after his death. God knows what would have been done with it by now.
“What else should I write? I don’t have the right.”
So the porn movies are a lie?
"Hey Barney....Come over here, I got something to show you."
Writers Joe Ruby and Ken Spears created the original series Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! for Hanna-Barbera . So did they confirm what this non talent nothing has declared. Everything is sexual to the creeps.
