The New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show

After the series was brutally murdered with the introduction of Scooby's nephew Scrappy they actually continued to make shows and began to make movies!!!!

This show deliberately began what I like to call "The Dark Ages of Scooby-Doo"

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.

The Scooby-Doo series takes another installment change with The New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show. In an improvement from the previous incarnation where much of that show's seasons centered toward basic cartoon fare with Scooby, Shaggy and Scrappy only, the mystery-solving and ghost-catching elements are back with this series. In another redemption, the character of Daphne returns, instantly reminding you of the heyday of Scooby and the entire Mystery, Inc. gang.

While the episodes contain two-stories in one rather than one entire chapter, the show is still quite entertaining with its laughs, jokes and mystery-solving adventures. It's nice seeing Daphne take the driver's seat of the Mystery, Inc. van, and her pairing up with Scrappy in the investigation scenes. Scooby and Shaggy continue their hilarious scenes together.

The suspense and excitement levels found in the shows where the entire Mystery, Inc. gang were featured are still scarce and Fred and Velma are still sorely missed, but, this series installment is a vast improvement over the previous incarnation and more entertaining.

Grade B

I watched many different versions of Scooby Doo,from the original Scooby Doo where are you?, to the cheesy yet somehow amusing Scooby Doo Dynomutt hour.But there is one that has stuck with me for years.The All New Scooby Doo and Scrappy Doo Show.Let me just start by saying this was a great show.The All new Scooby Doo and Scrappy Doo show was the greatest of all the Scooby Doo shows.The characters were likable and funny,considering it took the 2 best, Shaggy and Daphne and put them together with Scooby Doo and his hot tempered nephew Scrappy Doo. The locations and plots were great, making sure you never knew who the villain was,combined with great dialogue,voicing and animation to make one of the best animated shows of our time.I hope Warner Bros. decides to release all 13 episodes into 1 DVD set.I'm sure 1000's of people would appreciate it.I know I would.

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.
