The Special Guest Star(s)

During The New Scooby Doo Movies era, part of the episode format included having Special Guest Star(s) who met up with the gang and helped or hindered them while they solved the mystery. The guest stars included:
Living celebrities who provided their own voices: Don Knotts, Jonathan Winters, Phyllis Diller, Sandy Duncan, Sonny and Cher, Davy Jones (of the Monkees), Jerry Reed, Tim Conway, Don Adams (Get Smart), "Mama" Cass Elliot and Dick Van Dyke.
Dead or retired celebrities voiced by imitators: the Three Stooges, Laurel and Hardy.
Present or future Hanna-Barbera characters: Batman and Robin, the Addams Family, the Harlem Globetrotters, the cast of Jeannie, Josie and the Pussycats, the cast of Speed Buggy.
We're not going to dictate the Special Guest Star(s) for any runs, although we do reserve veto power. Here are the guidelines:
From 1 to 3 guest stars are allowed per run; to have more than one, they must be related. I.e., you can't bring all five of the Harlem Globetrotters (although two or three of them is okay) and you can't have Laurel and Hardy with Sandy Duncan.
Special Guest Star(s) can't have magical/super powers or be too heroic to run away repeatedly from the monsters. In viewing the movies, we noticed that the episodes with these types of characters were drastically different from the typical Scooby episode. For instance, the Batman and Robin episodes have them chasing the Joker and the Penguin (while the gang tags along or are captured by the bad guys)--Batman and Robin don't run away from ghosts. Our Game Needs Guest Stars Who Will Run Away. Unfortunately, we're not going to be able to allow, even though canonical, Batman and Robin, the cast of Jeannie or certain characters from the Addams Family (Lurch, for instance). Sorry.
Musical characters will be viewed more favorably if the player(s) are willing to perform. Lip-syncing is of course preferred.
Acceptable guest star(s) are NOT limited to just those which actually appeared on the New Scooby Doo Movies. Any bumbling detective, cartoon or otherwise, would probably be great. Think of celebrities or characters who should have been or would have been guests, if Scooby Doo had been running at their time or on their network (or their agents were desperate for exposure/cash). Some other ideas for potential Guest Stars:
| Mae West | The Marx Brothers | Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers |
| Abbott and Costello | Inspector Clouseau | Charlie Chan and Number One Son |
| The Honeymooners | Marilyn Monroe | Johnny Cash |
| Gilligan's Island | Johnny Carson | Goldie Hawn |
| The Smothers Brothers | Mister Rogers | Lily Tomlin |
| Carol Burnett (Vicky Lawrence, Tim Conway, Harvey Korman, etc.) | The Partridge Family | The Brady Bunch |
| Liberace | John Denver | Elton John |
| George Carlin | Steve Martin | The Jackson 5 |
| Gilda Radner | Dolly Parton | Roseanne Barr |
| Monty Python (the Holy Grail, whatever) | The cast from Clue | Geraldo Rivera |
| The Blues Brothers | Gene Wilder (Teri Garr, Mel Brooks, Madeleine Kahn, etc.) | Ellen DeGeneres [Drew's Mom] |
| Captain Jack Sparrow | Madonna (any incarnation, as long as she's clothed) | Xander, Cordelia, Willow (Buffy and Angel wouldn't run from ghosts, sorry) |
| Mulder and Scully (in running mode of course--plus we'll have flashlights!) | Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne | Jim Carrey |
| The cast from Queer Eye | Martha Stewart | Oprah [we're in Chicago, she doesn't need a last name] |
Any Scooby relative listed on Scooby's Wikipedia page is fair game, except for Scrappy Doo. [Scrappy Doo is an abomination who should never have been created--don't worry, he will not be appearing or allowed in this game.]
You get the idea...
[Just to be clear, in case you had any doubts--Nyarlathotep is right out.]
