Scooby e Scrappy Doo

Scrappy was always my favourite character in the Scooby series. When I watch the earliest shows I don't enjoy them as much. There's no one to meet the monsters head on or give Scooby such love and devotion. Scrappy always has great faith in his friends and does all he can to help. He has articulate speech and is good at finding clues. He seems more mature in this show but is still cute. Those who revile him are wrong. Scrappy never sank the show and I'm sure I can't be his only fan. If I was he wouldn't have appeared in so many episodes.

Although not as good as the "Scooby Doo and Scrappy Doo Show", it's very good; With clever humor, and hilarious scenes. The only problem is the participation of Scrappy Doo (who is the worst character in the Scooby Doo universe). Highly recommend.

In 1979, Scrappy Doo made his debut to help Scooby on his adventures. Everyone hated him. He would soon be in 1982's Scooby Doo Puppy Adventure Hour, this show, the Scooby Doo Mysteries, and 13 ghosts before he was put away in 1988 with a pup named scooby doo and made a comeback in 2002's scooby doo movie. This was also during the year when He-Man changed cartoons forever by airing 5 days a week and became a threat to Hanna Barbera and others.

I sat down and watched season one of the 1983 cartoon series "The New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show" with my son. I remember having watched this during my childhood, so it was fun to return to watch it again.

The episodes are good and have a fair amount of variation to them. And I was impressed that they actually included an episode where there was no unmasking of someone, and it was a full-out supernatural episode as well. And that was a most welcomed addition to the franchise, as it broke the usual formula.

Sure, the animation and art style bears signs of being old, but it feels classic and definitely does have that archetypical "Scooby-Doo!" feel to it that we all love so much.

The voice acting is good throughout the show, well at least throughout season one. I haven't seen season two.

"The New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show" is very enjoyable and entertaining for both adults and children alike. I enjoyed it back when I was a child during the 1980s, and I actually also enjoyed it now in 2022 as a 46 year old man. And my 12 year old son also thoroughly enjoyed this series.

My rating of "The New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show" lands on a six out of ten stars.

It is a little better than the last installment with Scrappy Doo. At least it seems to get back into more of the groove of things, less whimsical and stupid and more classic Scooby Doo stories....

But it is still to saccharin, still to infantile, still too god awful to really enjoy.

I mean, bottom line is, Scrappy became VERY annoying VERY fast.
