The first series since Scooby-Doo: Agence Toutou Risques (1988) to not feature Frank Welker as the voice of Fred, though Welker still provides voice work as Fred's father.
The first series in the "Scooby-Doo" franchise not to include the title character in the show, due to a combination of studio mandates and the writers struggling to come up with a more adult take on the character.
This series was marketed as the first adult and mature take on Scooby-Doo, with profanity, and graphic violence. While this is true for the animated works, the live-action Scooby-Doo (2002) film was written and filmed to be a more mature and raunchier take on the series with a PG-13 rating, but after the failure of the Josie et les Pussycats (2001) live-action film, it was hastily recut to be a more family-friendly PG film.
Was officially canceled after two seasons, due to incredibly low ratings and the negative reception.
