(also, have you ever noticed how much Fred resembles Alan from Josie & The Pussycats? ≡ Click to see image ≡
I think they might have been secret lovers.
Same here, dano. Scooby-Doo is one of those shows I find unwatchable as an adult, but man, as a kid I ate it up.
jonmc, the "bookends look" is something my partner and I actively work to avoid, but it gets tough the longer you're together. And Fred and Alan both had a thing for ascots, so they were in trouble right from the start.
Well, yeah the ascots was the big signal flare to me, too. If the straight guy is reading the code then maybe it's time to recalibrate the crypto-machine.
But if Alan and Fred were lovers, and Velma was knockin' boots with Alexandra from J&TP (and I think she was, that leaves a lotta unsatisfied ladies. And Alexander was just too much of a pantywaist, so that left one man to satisfy Daphne, Josie, Valerie and Melody. Why do you think the called him Shaggy??
Bummer... I had a Scooby lunchbox when I was a kid. I'd be proud to carry it now, too (what?). I used to love when they'd unmask the ghost. Great companion to my Nancy Drew books.
