Continuity
- Fred's surname, "Jones", was first used in The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries episode, Happy Birthday, Scooby-Doo.
- Velma used her tablet in the previous special.
Notes/trivia
- While the previous special didn't have an opening sequence, this didn't even have a teaser.
- One of the reporters resembles Josie McCoy from Josie and the Pussycats; they guest starred on an episode of The New Scooby-Doo Movies.
- Scooby-Doo holding a sign that says "Ruh-oh!" is a reference to Wile E. Coyote from the Looney Tunes.
- Like the previous special, it has yet to air on Cartoon Network.
Animation mistakes and/or tecnical glitches
- Velma's taped together glasses are normal when she and Daphne first use the tablet.
Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities
- Scooby-Doo! Stage Fright had Fred and Daphne's romantic relationship as a subplot, revealing their true feelings for one another, only they're too afraid to talk about it to each other and a scene during the end credits
hastilyneatly brushes it under the carpet and ignored so Daphne can go back to her jealous routine without any awkwardness of the previous events. - While Velma's glasses were undamaged in one scene, the ends of Fred's ascot return permanently when Irv introduces himself to Fred.
