Behind the scenes

With every episode's title card, one of the gang announces the guest star, which is Scooby this time.
Liu is an artist in real life.
Fred says "Hold the phone" once.
Daphne says "Jeepers" once.
Lucy Liu previously played one of the Zin daughters in two episodes of The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest.

Errors

Shaggy and Scooby imagine throwing up in a toilet if they were to eat the day-old donuts, except due to censoring, the two can't actually be seen to be properly enacting it, so they've been animated so that they are doing it behind a wall and aiming at the top of the seat, where they would technically be making a bigger mess, but of course, that can't obviously be animated, either, so the whole joke just loses all focus.
