Shaggy y Scooby-Doo detectives

I am 17, and I still like most of the Scooby Doo movies and the old episodes. I love the 1990s movies, and recently we were treated to one of the better direct to DVD Scooby Doo outings of this decade, Scooby Doo and the Goblin King, which I wasn't expecting to be as good as it was. Anyway, back to Get a Clue! I watched some episodes, expecting something very good, but from what I saw of it, I wasn't impressed at all. First of all, I hated the animation. It was flat, deflated and very Saturday- morning -cartoon -standard, easily the worst aspect of the series. Even some shows I really hate had slightly better animation. Even worse, Shaggy and Scooby looked like aliens, and I really missed Fred, Velma and Daphne, as they added a lot to the old episodes, when Scooby Doo was positively good. I also hated the character changes, because it seemed like instead of solving mysteries, Shaggy and Scooby were now playing superhero, something they would've never had done in the movies or in the Scooby-Doo Where Are You? show. The theme tune wasn't very good either, I can't even remember it, and the jokes were lame and contrived. Though, I do acknowledge that there is a very talented voice cast, had they had better material, and hadn't been told to sound as different to the original voices as humanly possible, which they did, might I add. In conclusion, I personally thought it was awful, and I am not trying to discredit it, it's what I personally feel. 1/10 Bethany Cox

I'm not sure how i feel about this new take on the Scooby Doo series, but it's here and i will not be bitching like some of you purists. Yes the old scooby doo was better but bitching about something on IMDb isn't going to change anything. i was reading wile_E2005's comment on the front and that dude/chick seemed like he just bitches about everything. The fact that Casey Kasem isn't voicing Shaggy isn't a reason to not watch a Scooby Doo cartoon, and the fact that Kasem left because Shaggy isn't a vegetarian is dumb. He was never a vegetarian in the 70s & 80s. You constantly saw Scooby & Shaggy pigging out on non vegetarian food. Kasem has been a constant voice for Shaggy through the years anyways. What's New Scooby Doo was a great effort IMO with trying to keep up with the times and trying not to drastically change the characters. You can't have characters rocking bell bottoms and ascots when they went out of style 27 years ago.

My baby sitter was a fan so I saw many of the older episodes while growing up. I'm not a fan of Scooby Doo so I'm not sure why I left the TV on when this show premiered. To my surprise I found it enjoyable. To me Shaggy and Scooby were the only interesting characters *dodges tomatoes from fans of the others* so I like that they only focus on those two. However, this may cause fans of the original shows to hate it. I like the voice acting, especially Dr. Phinius Phibes. I liked listening to him even before I knew he was Jeff Bennett. And Jim Meskimen as Robi sounds to me like he's really enjoying his job as an actor. I also get a kick out of the techies with their slightly autistic personalities and their desires to play Dungeons and Dragons or act out scenes from Star Wars (not called by those names in the show, of course).

The animation for this show is just horrible it makes Velma look like a masterpiece in comparison, the characters are just annoying like in the other show called Be Cool Scooby Doo and this has got to be one of the worst shows from 2006 along with Squirrel Boy which is another worst show ever made by Cartoon Network and one of the worst things from the same year i ever saw along with The Fox And The Hound 2, Re-Animated, Teen Titans Trouble In Tokyo and the Disney movie called The Wild glad this show got cancelled in 2008 with no second chances just like Out Of Jimmy's Head what a piece of rubbish.

The first episode of this new show was on today, and it was horrible. Not only did Shaggy have a squeaky new voice that made listening to his lines torture, but it's so far away from the original concept and animation style that it's barely recognizable as a 'Scooby-Doo' show.

Even back in the dark days when Fred and Velma were gone and Scooby's nephew Scrappy was there, the team still solved mysteries. This new show instead features Shaggy and Scooby battling a James Bond type super-villain and his henchmen while living in a mansion. There's not even a van called 'The Mystery Machine' (and the teaser for the next episode which promised a transformers type robot car did NOT put my mind at ease). How can anyone take Scooby Doo and make THIS?

The show earns two point for two scenes featuring the whole Scooby Doo gang, all of whom speak with the correct voices except Shaggy, and even then I'm being far too generous.
