Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! (2015–2018) User Reviews

The funniest show in the franchise

[conallturley · 8/10 · 9 March 2018]

Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! is another great addition to the franchise after my personal favourite series Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated. Being the 12th incarnation of the show, you'd think the mileage would have ran out by now. Being a massive Scooby-Doo fan myself, however, I would feel saddened if they stopped producing shows, especially if they are to the quality of the latest two series.

Be Cool is by far the funniest show in the franchise. After Mystery Inc. which had a much darker and scarier tone, it was great to see a series which also experimented with something new. This comedy driven incarnation of the show is a strong follow up to Mystery Inc. You are bound to laugh many times per episode, and the show just gets funnier as you continue to watch.

The characters in the show are similar to previous incarnations. Scooby and Shaggy are still their same old selves, hungry, cowardly and hilarious. Velma and Fred are also pretty similar to previous versions of the characters, yet their personalities are tweaked so as to fit the tone of the show. Fred is usually used as a foil to Daphne (which I will get to soon), whilst Velma retains her status as the most intellectual of the gang. Both characters are given their individual fears, Fred of widths and Velma of water, which makes for great gags throughout the series. Daphne sees the most radical change in character. The show really brings her to the forth as a comedy character, as each episode she has a new 'Daphne Du Jour', where she gets up to all sorts of antics. It's a fun take on the character, and really suits the tone of the show.

As for the voice actors, everyone is the same as in Mystery Inc. Frank Welker voices both Fred and Scooby, Matthew Lillard voices Shaggy, and Grey Griffin voices Daphne. Kate Micucci is a great addition to the show in her first series as Velma, and she is excellent.

The mystery element of the show is not lost in the comedy, as the two elements work wonderfully together. The explanation of the villain's plot is nicely recapped in illustrated flashback sequences at the end of each episode. The show also brings back musical chase sequences after their absence in Mystery Inc., and the songs used are really catchy. One last thing I want to touch upon is the character designs. This show gets a lot of criticism because of how the gang looks. Whilst it is not my favourite version of the characters, I have to say that the designs match the tone of the show perfectly.

Overall, Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! is a fantastic show and a great addition to the Scooby franchise. It's great to have a Scooby show that really emphasises the humour. I would definitely recommed it to others. Give it a chance! Once you get used to the character designs, the show is really enjoyable. Like the saying goes, don't judge a book by its cover.

great show , dislike how the scooby gang look .

[kennethashford · 7/10 · 21 October 2015]

the show has good comedy. great family show.

i quite enjoy scooby cartoons, but just wish they still looked like the previous versions does kind of remind me of phineas and ferb style not a bad thing just think why change the look.

has more gadgets for the mystery machine . more modern setting, overall quite fun.

would recommend for people to enjoy .

the voices i believe are almost all the same as past series which is great as they do a great job of portraying them .

look forward to more scooby episodes.

Pretty good actually

[papanda · 8/10 · 3 July 2017]

Call me a pessimist, but I was skeptical with this show at first. After seeing the animation style, I thought it would be another crap remake that they just pumped out of the factory. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I actually enjoy this more than almost any other Scooby Doo remakes. First I love what they've done with Daphne. In lots of Scooby Doo shows, she and Fred have the most bland personalities. She goes from prissy, rich, and a fashionista, to a quirky down-to-earth character that's just trying to find her passion in life... By trying every hobby on earth, and I love that new take on her. Second, even though the humor can be corny at times (It is a kid show after all) there are still plenty of moments that get a genuine snicker out of me. It has it's moments. Third, they introduce multiple suspicious characters at the beginning of the episodes, leaving you to get involved and see if you can guess which one is behind the mask. I think that's a cool idea to have kids honing their deduction skills, and have them feeling like an actual member of the a Mystery inc. gang.

The only things I don't care for are the animation style (I'm sorry but Scooby looks like he was born with a weird birth defect in this) and that Shaggy/Scooby/Velma have some moments where they just annoy the hell out of me.

That being said, it's still a very decent show and anyone who grew up loving Scooby Doo should give this a chance. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Don't judge a book by it's cover

[s-2448 · 10/10 · 19 October 2017]

I know many people who completely rejected this show after they saw one shot of the animation. Me, being a die-hard Scooby-doo fan, was skeptical, but tried it out anyway. I have to say this is for sure the funniest Scooby-doo incarnation since the original. The voice actors do a great job, the stories are hilarious, and it is overall, a great show. That cliché phrase, don't judge a book by it's cover, is definitely in play here.

Really enjoyable for the most part.

[dantalia · 9/10 · 3 November 2015]

It would actually be an 8.7/10. Anyway, the Show in general is good, I don't favor the Style used to Animate, it isn't very fluent, but, it still looks pretty good. The Humor is really entertaining, some Jokes fell flat, but, most came out really entertaining. Most People just give this a bad score due to the Nostalgia getting to them, or the Character Style not looking like the Original, but, they tried something new; the Outcome, it's great that they aren't using the Classic Style from the Original in my Opinion. I recommend watching the Show if you're into Comedy and the Scooby-Doo Series. Overall, the Show is great and it shouldn't be receiving bad reception.

You liked the old Scooby Doo? Don't watch this.

[somewhereinnowhere · 1/10 · 2 April 2017]

I have watched - All - Scooby-Doo since the early 70'ies. I have always enjoyed the rich animations with details as well as the quirky humor. I have not paid attention to the pre-rage over the new series, but I honestly understand it, having watched a few episodes of Be Cool, Scooby Doo...

The animation is just.. No. Sorry, but it's animation for 5 year old kids. There's few to absolutely no details in the animations. A lot of it feels like they haven't made any effort what so ever - an example of this would be shaggy's beard which is just... zig-zags. The voice acting from Velma is a complete turn off. It could not be less engaging and more "I'm reading a script from top to bottom". I'm not sure what Fred is supposed to look like and I'm not sure I actually want to know. He reminds me of Family Dad... That's not a good thing.

You can't have an animated series in which the animation puts off most people, the voice acting no better and still have a "decent" or "good" show as many like to claim. I am sorry, but popular animated series (and be cool, scooby doo is not one of them) relies on well- animated shots that are detailed with great voice-acting.

It's fairly obvious that both the Hanna-Barbera founders aren't around anymore because hot damn they would never have allowed for this incarnation to hit the light of day.

The FUNNEST Scooby Doo since the original!

[rb-939-19665 · 10/10 · 15 March 2016]

Long time Scooby fan here. When I first started watching the new series, I thought it was great... and now that I've given it some more time, I've totally fallen in love with it. Yes, the animation is different. But geez... what the heck is the big deal? Things change. At first I thought it a bit "odd"... but very quickly it became part of the shows atmosphere and personality. Call it "Family Guy" style animation or something like that if you want... but I gotta tell ya, that style has been around for 2+ decades now, so it's not just some current-trendy thing, and I think it works perfectly with the show... which is a phenomenal blend of smart, funny, witty, silly... all rolled into one. This show is a LOT less serious than the previous "Mystery Inc" series, so changing over to a less serious animation style I think was a really great choice to set it apart and rise above the past.

I've watched every Scooby EVERYthing from the original to now, and this is absolutely the funnest Scooby Doo to watch since the original.

Finally! An interesting reboot out of so many!

[rasheedthomas-68306 · 7/10 · 14 April 2017]

Went to my local Barnes and Nobles store to look for childhood cartoons that I can hold on to and ended up buying this DVD with some others because I wanted to give something modern a try. The art style made me feel like this was going to be another forced Scooby- Doo project since Warner Bros. have been overdoing Scooby-Doo since the DC's New 52 started. The art is lazy and I believe DC and Cartoon Network are getting lazier as time moves on. I mean look at horrific Teen Titans Go cartoon. But I was hoping this DVD wasn't a waste of time and money.

Now, the show as a whole. Man, I have to eat my words for a moment and say that this is pretty comical! The art for some reason actually does fit the goofiness of it! I was surprised by how much I'd laughed while watching the gang slip up from one gag to another in just seconds! Fast-paced and unusual! Daphne who was once my least favorite character suddenly became my most favorite character! She isn't like she was in her previous incarnations but rather a fun, adventurous, goofy type and I'd thought Shaggy and Scooby were the best of the gang!

Episode 1: Decent Episode 2: Pretty Good Episode 3: GREAT!! This is where I was laughing the most!

My suggestion is to watch episode 3! That one is my favorite so far!

An Honest Review

[generationofswine · 1/10 · 1 April 2017]

I just can't get into it. For starters it's the animation. This iteration of Scooby Doo doesn't look or feel at all like Scooby Doo. It looks more like, well, like Teen Titans. You know...cheap bucking for comical in an effort to cover it up.

Not that Scooby Doo is historically beautifully animated, it is Hanna-Barbara after all, but it at least always had atmosphere. It always looked spooky.

A Pup Named Scooby Doo looked darker than this.

As a whole, it is waaay to light hearted for Scooby Doo. It looks too bright and vibrant, too much like the Powder Puff Girls and that is exactly how the story comes across as well.

It's a cheapened dumbed down Scooby Doo.

Still laughing

[muaaz-ali93 · 10/10 · 28 October 2017]

Well, as a genuine scooby doo fan for the last twenty years. I have seen every other iteration of scooby doo that has been released. At first. I was also quite suspicious about the character overhaul. But when I actually watched around the first five. I started to get into it and it's only because the jokes were actually great. They might have been targeted to kids but they can make anyone laugh as well. I never laughed while watching the 70's show where there was a background laugh to amuse us. But here, it was actually funny. The overall mystery theme is there but the addition of jokes is something that has made BE cool much better than rest. If Mystery incorporated isn't going to be continued and the scooby doo is going to continue with random mysteries than I would love to see Be cool scooby doo continue for even 10 seasons.

The Art is Horrible, but the Jokes are Great

[DrummondType2 · 7/10 · 26 October 2015]

This is hardly the worst Scooby Doo series to ever come out. I would be happier if the art style didn't resemble that of Family Guy. However, art style aside, the show has a witty style of humor, actually shows the audience clues to the mystery, and offers up a fair-play whodunit. It's not as dark as the previous series, Mystery Incorporated, which suits me fine. I don't want to sit with my kids and worry that the show's content will be too racy or mature for them. I want to be able to enjoy it with them, as my parents did me for the older Scooby Doo series. Have some of the characterizations changed? Somewhat. However, this has happened all through the history of the show. Daphne started out as the least developed character, with her sole role being the one who got kidnapped and tied up. Then she was made more of an intrepid reporter during the '80s, and then a fashionista for What's New Scooby Doo? Fred has gone from a bland designated leader to a conspiracy nut in A Pup Named Scooby Doo to a trap obsessed nitwit in Mystery Incorporated to a much more competent character here. Some of the characters change with the times. Some details about them remain the same. This show makes me laugh with its willingness to not take itself too seriously, while still offering an entertaining experience for parents to share with their children. If only the art weren't so primitive.

Great, first the live-action abominations--now HERE!?

[OzzyZikeFan1057 · 1/10 · 12 December 2018]

Why? Just why? WHY DO WE HAVE TO BUTCHER THE DESIGNS TO CLASSIC ANIMATED CHARACTERS!?

Some people complain that Warner has overused Scooby-Doo much like how Nickelodeon has overused SpongeBob Squarepants. The only difference: I hate SBSP, and it's nothing more than one continuous series; while Scooby-Doo is made up of multiple different series spin-offs (e.g., the Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo Show, A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, What's New Scooby-Doo). To Warner Bros.' credit, it's not one long "soap opera" (cringe).

Now that I got it off my chest, I NEVER thought that, while the live-action Scooby-Doo films are treasonous on so many levels, that Warner would ever ruin an original cartoon series. Come the year 2015 with Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! however, I should have known better than that--especially after watching other classic characters like Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse get butchered on the visual aspect. And the characters themselves personality-wise are no better. And on a side note, the actress voicing Velma Dinkley does not deliver the same performance as the others before her.

Instead of being called Be Coo, Scooby-Doo!, it should simply be called "Scooby-DON'T"! In other words, DON'T watch it--you'll be doing your eyes and ears a favor.

Basically the same Scooby-Doo we know, but funnier.

[alissongomes-72392 · 10/10 · 29 September 2017]

Asides the art style, this is a great show that improved a part of the classic Scooby-Doo formula: the comedy. I don't know about the American cast changes, but I do know about the Brazilian ones. Only the Fred voice actor wasn't changed here. It's not worse, the new cast do a nice job, I just don't understand why they changed the cast from "What's new, Scooby-Doo?" that also worked on "Mystery inc.". The designs are understandably hated but it's not noticeable on the go. Also, honestly only Velma looks really uglier. As I said earlier, they improved, and flawlessly, the comedy. The comedy is not absent in the classic formula, the slap-sticky gags and the chase scenes are awesome, not a surprise Scooby-Doo is a success afterall, it's that they try to make you laugh by literally putting jokes now. The characters are also a bit more improved and a bit less clichéd; Fred is now more of an exaggerated leader than a handsome, strong one. Velma didn't actually change that much, but looks nerdier. The Shaggy/Scooby-Doo couple is pretty much the same as well, being the mayor change in the group Daphne. I don't know if I hate or like the new Daphne, although there's nothing that detestable about her new personality. The pacing is the same, I personally enjoy the chase scenes of the classic formula and on this show it's similar to the "What's new" ones, specially the rock 'n' roll soundtrack. The animation is pretty good, it has the same quality level/style of cartoons like Bunnicula and Wabbit; it looks differently, but it's certainly not a lazy work. "Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!" is easily one of the best Scooby-Doo versions, it's equally entertaining and funnier. If you give it a chance, you won't regret it. You know what they say, don't judge a book by its cover. Here's an example.

Flawed, But Still Good

[blytheandferb · 9/10 · 20 October 2015]

People were admittedly skeptical about this show because of the artwork and the promos, and while the show has faults, I think it's genuinely good. This show is about the gang (Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, and Scooby) going on a road trip together when school is over. They encounter lots of monsters and ghosts, and have to figure out who's behind it. There's never been a Scooby Doo series I don't like, and this show is no exception. While the humor can be perfected a bit, each episode has me laughing a lot. The gang is still themselves though. Yes, Daphne is a bit dumbed down, but she's still funny and helpful, and her gimmicks don't overstay their welcome. The show has a nice Phineas And Ferb vibe to it, though that might be due to Jon Colton Barry and Zac Moncrief. If you look past the weird art, I say give it a shot.

Unfairly maligned addition to the franchise that somehow has worse aggregate scores than both the Scrappy-Doo incarnations. Really? I mean, REALLLY!?

[IonicBreezeMachine · 7/10 · 2 October 2021]

The Scooby-Doo gang consisting of determined leader Fred (Frank Welker), brains of the group Velma (Kate Micucci), airheaded and eccentric Daphne (Grey DeLisle), and gluttonous good-natured cowards Shaggy (Matthew Lillard) and their dog Scooby-Doo (Frank Welker) travel in the Mystery Machine in search of adventure but routinely stumble across supernatural happenings whose explanations are anything but.

Announced in June 2014 roughly a year after the conclusion of Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated, the announcement of the series and redesigns of the characters was met with fan ire. The fact that Be Cool Scooby-Doo was following the footsteps of the best reviewed incarnation of the franchise since the initial direct-to-video films of the 90s was certainly an uphill battle for the show, and its promise of going for a more comedic tone in contrast to the foreboding serialization of Mystery Incorporated was certainly an adjustment. But with that said the fan backlash has gone completely off the deep end as the show somehow has a worse rating than both The Scooby-Doo and Scrappy Show and The New Scooby-Doo and Scrappy show.....This is why I'm losing faith in aggregate review sites, because of knee jerk fan reactions distorting reliable reflections of quality. While the show is not on the same level as Mystery Incorporated, it's not trying to be and it's more in line with something like What's New Scooby-Doo where it takes the original formula from the 1969 series and plays itself for sort of a winking comedy without going into full on parody.

A big distinguishing factor for the show is in the behind the scenes influence of producer Zac Moncrief a noted producer and director who has worked on everything from Family Guy and Brickleberry to endearing classics like Phineas and Ferb and you can definitely tell that from the art style. While you can definitely see shades of Seth MacFarlane's Fuzzy Door animation style in the production, I'd say the show falls more in line with something like Phineas and Ferb or Milo Murphy's Law where it has simplistic designs like in Family Guy or Brickleberry but unlike those two shows the simplicity is utilized for a lot of freedom of movement and energy on screen. On occasion the show does dip into some "anti-humor" sequences such as stuttering for an overly long time or being forced to move ludicrously slow but it isn't abused past the point of tolerance as seen in Family Guy or Drawn Together so it's still able to get a laugh.

The characters are still on point with Shaggy and Scooby still lovable goofball cowards, Fred's still the no nonsense leader with an excessive attachment to his Mystery Machine, the only one who has any real difference is Daphne who's still accident prone but now has a bizarre running gag of adopting a different quirk every episode. One episode show's here sporting a collection of puppets modeled after her friends, one episode shows her as narrating the gang's adventures, and another shows her having a feud of no real origins with all of Dolphin kind that is never explained, yeah it's a pretty weird route to take with the character but the bizarre antics done with Daphne are so outlandish and eyebrow raising it's all but guaranteed to get a laugh from the sheer amount of "What?" on display accompanied by funny reactions from the rest of the cast particularly Fred.

Be Cool Scooby-Doo doesn't reach the heights of Mystery Incorporated or the first three 90s direct-to-video movies, but it is an enjoyable entry in the franchise that fits well within the company entries such as What's New Scooby-Doo. I think I enjoyed Be Cool about on the same level as What's New simply because of how daring it was in shaking up the design works and running with its bizarre sense of humor even if it doesn't always land. However this show is in no way shape or form worse than The Scooby-Doo and Scrappy Show or The New Scooby-Doo and Scrappy show, if you gave this show a worse rating than EITHER of those you desperately need to readjust your definition of quality.

An Honest Review

[generationofswine · 1/10 · 16 January 2018]

No, this is NOT Scooby-Doo.

Fred isn't really Fred, Velma isn't Velma, Shaggy and Scooby are hardly the cowards with the bottomless stomachs they used to be, Daphne is not Daphne...

...And there aren't any real mysteries.

You're watching another cartoon about a group of kids that just have fun, face no real threats, have nothing really scary happen to them, the series sucks.

It feel like EVERY other cartoon, straight down to animation that makes Hanna-Barbara look like Michelangelo.

The changes are the main reason I hate remakes and reboots. It's like people sat down and said "Let's make Scooby-Doo but make it nothing like Scooby-Doo."

Funny!!

[jwwalrath-227-85487 · 10/10 · 26 October 2018]

This is by far my favorite Scooby-Doo show. It is really funny. As an adult, I found the jokes to be surprisingly clever, like Phineas and Ferb level.

The main cast has been tweaked a little, but I didn't mind at all. They changed Daphne from a straight man to an eccentric/free-spirit rich girl who has a new weird hobby, like puppets or miming, every story, and she is one of the best parts. Other highlights include Scooby being a bit quick-tongued and Freddie being semi-driven nuts by everybody's eccentricities.

This doesn't have a real over-reaching plot or drama like the last show, but it actually has a fairly effective finale.

People have complained about the simplified Brickleberry-esque character design. To be honest they're not my first choice, but I can't say the design is bad by itself, and I got used to it. Although comedy-oriented, there are some monster designs in this that are pretty effective-looking.

Although Kate Micucci makes a good Velma, I'm disappointed that the showrunners replaced Mindy Cohn, who'd done her for a while, just because they wanted a change.

Sadly, this only lasted two seasons, but they were both full seasons and it was fun while it lasted.

Not the best incarnation, but still a very fun show

[adotson-98233 · 7/10 · 1 June 2021]

"Be Cool, Scooby Doo" is a very breezy fun show for kids to enjoy, What I liked was that this series still managed to keep some of the heart of the other shows while still providing some new things. The comedy too isn't too bad, and I did laugh a few times. Theres some cool things they do, and they try to incorporate some facts about certain mysteries which I think is very cool. Now there are a few issues mainly the character design. I don't hate the design, but it decently feels a little cheaper than some other shows of this franchise. Some of the characters at time can be a little annoying, but not too much. Overall this show has some iffy charter designs, and some jokes don't land, but it's far from bad. It's fun, fast paced, and the mysteries are still very fun to watch.

Very Disappointing - please reconsider artwork and character development!

[katyastorm · 3/10 · 13 November 2015]

I have watched the Scooby series almost since it began, first with my own children and now with my grandchildren and had never been disappointed with a revision until now.

One complaint is the artwork, it makes the characters (particularly Fred) look like either Frankenstein characters (long square jaw with mouth too high on the face) or just fools. The facial proportions are way off in a very unattractive way.

Even more important, is the character development. Daphne and Velma were always characters for young girls to emulate. They were bright, brave, and able to think out of the box. In this series, Daphne acts like a Valley Girl or a Barbie Doll. There are enough of those characters on TV and the Internet. Daphne and Velma characters used to be a breath of fresh air to parents and grandparents. The current characterizations do not live up to your previous high standards.

I do hope that someone will consider the question of the female characters even if they do not consider the artwork.

Thank you,

Genuinely Enjoyable

[xandaking · 8/10 · 9 October 2015]

If we take all nostalgia aside you would have to admit Be Cool, Scooby Doo is a good show. Albeit the animation style is quirky, I would argue that it fits the humour perfectly. Ever since the first images were released many people have been outraged, not even giving it a chance. But if we look past the animation style it is still a great show.

First of all the humour is brilliant, unlike What's New, Scooby Doo? the show focuses a lot more on the humour. Still staying true to the format the added humour makes the show really enjoyable. Daphne has been redesigned since the last reincarnation, Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated, and I am liking her so far. I have always found Daphne funny when she gets embarrassed when her fondness for Fred is mentioned, and when she gets annoyed at people flirting with Fred (for example Marcy in A Scooby Doo Halloween). In Be Cool, Scooby Doo this is not the case (so far), however her slightly quirkier personality is very funny. Aside from Daphne the humour is extremely funny, such as Fred being scared of widths, and is probably my favorite part of the show.

The voice acting is practically the same, aside from Velma. Mindy Cohn has been replaced by Kate Micucci, and I have to admit the voice acting for Velma is much better than I expected. For me I grew up on What's New, Scooby Doo? so those voice actors will always seem true to me. Micucci does quite a nice job as Velma and deserves some merit for that. Shaggy, not played by Kasem, is played by Matthew Lillard, who has been voicing Shaggy for quite some time now. Lillard does an excellent job as Shaggy and I have no complaints. Grey DeLisle and Frank Welker return (as for Lillard) and I have no complaints for them. Some minor characters are obviously voiced by one of the main 4 voice actors, just thought I would mention that but still nothing to complain about.

The mysteries are enjoyable as well, and I like the new format as they sum up their findings at the end of the video. However, why I didn't give the show a higher score was because of the mysteries. There is a lack of suspects, and in places where the gang are isolated (such as episode two) there are minimal characters. Around the 15 minute mark you can tell who the culprit is, which I found wasn't the case in Mystery Incorporated and What's New.

So far I am loving Be Cool, Scooby Doo and I would recommend it. I have been looking forward to it since its announcement and I am not disappointed. It's not perfect, but it does an honest and entertaining job as a Scooby Doo series.

It's pretty funny

[trebordjackson · 7/10 · 18 December 2018]

It's pretty funny and exactly like the original except Daphne is crazy. I really can't stand the art style it's really bad. When I watch an episode I half expect Peter, Brian, Lois, Chris, Meg, and Stewie Griffin to show up.

A huge disgrace to the Scooby Doo franchise

[tommypezmaster · 1/10 · 22 November 2018]

Whoever thought up Be Cool Scooby Doo needs to be hunted down and shot. It is suppose to be a more comedic take on the original series, but it is very insulting and dull. The "heroes" are stupid and weak. The villains are worst. The plot is clichéd, the art is simple, and there is nothing redeeming about it. This is like most mean spirited comedy shows: predictable, lackluster, and annoying. Even though it is meant for a young audience, not many people will enjoy this slapped together piece of crud. I am glad it's short lived. It is one of the worst animated reboot series ever made period.

Easily the best ever

[rboyerk · 10/10 · 8 July 2017]

I honestly can't fathom how anyone could say ANYthing bad about this show. Not only is this the the best Scooby Doo ever created, but it's also one of the funniest kids cartoons I've ever seen. It's absolutely hilarious... playing to both adults and kids perfectly. It's interesting, smart, witty, endlessly entertaining, and just downright FUN. Seriously... I have been watching Scooby Doo for over 4 decades now... I still carry a Scooby Doo lunch box to work... and I have zero reservations in saying that this is simply the best ever. I really REALLY hope there will be more of these made some day.

By far the freshest series incarnation since the original

[plasticrevolver · 9/10 · 4 March 2021]

The 1969 TV series was instantly my favorite Saturday morning fare until realizing at that young age that the boogie man was predictably the person who stood to gain the most by lack of humans around the haunted venue.

Fast-forward past various reboots, animated and live-action movies, the gang finally built up the oeuvre to allow the kind-of-self-aware Mystery Incorporated, another excellent series.

Then Be Cool. What with the skinny legs and apparent plastic surgery, I kept with it for Frank W.'s continued efforts and Kate M.'s addition to the cast. It grew on me and now it's a favorite series. The writing, the character interaction, the on-screen action - all these contribute to the fun. Personalities are amped up a little too - Daphne is more of a character this time instead of just being Fred's implied girlfriend.
