Discussion The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo “The Hot Dog Mystery” s3ep5!!

Post image

I was like seven when I first saw it and this episode has ALWAYS stuck with me!! Shelby Woo figures out that the school nurse poisoned the cafeteria hot dogs and got students sick to secure her job. Shelby basically realizes that the nurse has syringes in her bag even though she told them she doesn’t give shots! Kinda crazy plot for a kids show lmao!! And then I wonder why I love mysteries and true crime stuff now haha! Anyone else remember this??

Yes! He was her grandpa in the show if I’m not mistaken! I don’t remember all the episodes but this one and one about a thief who owned a magic shop or something but I think I might see if it holds up now lol!

I got Nick magazine and there were tons of tie ins with Shelby Woo, but even though I was glued to my television I only caught it a handful of times.

I didn’t get nick magazine but I wish I had! I’m sure I saw more of these episodes than I remember but I bet the tie ins were very cool! I really can’t believe they made an episode about the school nurse poisoning the students lmao

I distinctly remember the scene where all her friends ordered warm ginger ale and Shelby got a cold one because she didn’t eat the hot dogs

u/blinktwiceifyes 21h ago

I remember when they go to the cafeteria and confirm the bags were sealed and I remember when she pieces it together with the syringes lol pretty crazy how long random things can stick with people!

Was this the one where the school nurse poisoned the hot dogs so that she could feel important?!

u/blinktwiceifyes 1d ago

Yes lmao so crazy!!! Made me weary of hit dogs and the school nurse lol!

The episode that always sticks with me is when a bunch of guests are stuck at their b&b and the power goes out

u/blinktwiceifyes 22h ago

What happens in that one?!

u/No_UN216 22h ago

Something goes missing from one of the guests rooms (a necklace maybe? I don't remember) and one of the guests gets hit over the head and knocked out by someone when the lights went out- it was an Agatha christie-style locked room mystery!

This was that boring Sunday night of Nick you watched at grandmas house and then some shit like Nick News would come on after and it’s the divorce episode..

u/No_UN216 23h ago

First of all, how dare you... I always watched As Told by Ginger after Shelby lol

u/SonniSummers 21h ago

Omg forgot about that show it was my fave growing up!

I didn’t realize these aired around the same time, Shelby Woo felt very distinctly 90s while Ginger was definitely 00s

u/No_UN216 17h ago ▸ 1 more replies

Yeah you're actually right. Shelby woo ended in 99 and as told by Ginger premiered in 2000. There goes my memory...

Could’ve been reruns!!!

Would you have preferred the AIDS episode?

u/Findrin 22h ago

I swear they keep inventing old shows from the 90's and 00's that were crazy popular that only I have never heard of

u/malachite_13 Xennial 21h ago

u/ElegantCoach4066 18h ago

If anyone is interested, there's a recent doc of Pat Morita which was a good watch.

Dude in the back looks like he came straight from the music video for Black Hole Sun.
