The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries

Ok, when Scrappy Doo came along, Scooby Doo started to suck, but when this show came along, the cartoon, as well as the franchise was flushed down the toilet. Just like that. I mean this scooby incarnation is truly pathetic! The mysteries aren't as good as they were in the earlier days of the show's run, and the writers didn't seem to care, as well as put some effort into making this a half desent show! I mean Shaggy, and Scooby salvaged the true horrors that is this show with their humor. But however Fred, and Velma aren't on this show, so maybe THAT'S the main reason this show sucked. Scrappy Doo is still that little mutt that we love to hate so much! Whoever thought a sidekick would be good for scooby should be ashamed of himself. This show must have been a good mystery for ABC. When they realized this show stunk, they cancelled it, which solved the mystery. If you're into the older scooby shows (mainly "Scooby, Where are you?") then you'll definently want to stay away from this show at all costs!

The New Scooby Doo and Scrappy Doo Show concept continues with this incarnation, The New Scooby Doo Mysteries, where Scooby, Shaggy, Scrappy and Daphne return for some more clue-finding and mystery solving episodes - more fun and suspenseful than the previous show.

While certain episodes contain two stories in one show rather than one entire chapter, the series is still quite entertaining with its laughs, jokes and daring adventures. And, as an added bonus, a few episodes feature the return of Fred and Velma; therefore, the entire Mystery, Inc. gang was intact again at long last! Also, I have to mention the very upbeat opening scene with its hip-sounding song - something you could dance or tap your toes to.

Overall, a very good addition to the Scooby-Doo saga!

Grade A-

Intelligently enough the producers of the show returned Scooby-Doo to his roots and had him solving mysteries. Where they flawed was in not bringing back the gang and getting rid of Scrappy. The mystery and villains are the lamest in the entire franchise and in my opinion an unnecessary show.

But that's all I can say!

This would have been a good show if the jokes and plots were better then they were. But regardless the biggest flaw of this show is of course SCAPPY-DOO!

The intro borrows from Thriller with the monsters dancing to the theme song and has scooby doo climbing the Statue of Liberty. It is also the first Scooby Doo cartoon to use computer drawn animation and the last until A Pup Named Scooby Doo, which lasted three seasons.
