* AudienceAlienatingEra: Back then, it was the most divisive series in the ''Scooby-Doo'' franchise in the opinions of many fans due to how very un-''Scooby-Doo''-like it was compared to the other series. This show replaced cerebral humor and clever slapstick with [[LargeHam overacting]] and CartoonPhysics on overdrive, featured [[StrictlyFormula repetitive plots]] and terrible art, omitted the mysteries that were absolutely central to most other incarnations of the series, and had a terrible theme song that ripped off Music/TheOffspring[='=]s "One Fine Day". The result was pretty much a mediocre RedundantParody of ''WesternAnimation/DynomuttDogWonder''.

* FranchiseOriginalSin: An inverted example; the show wasn't well-loved back when it was new, but if nothing else, it introduced the concept of an ongoing story to the franchise, which would later be done in the fan-favorite ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated''. Phibes has also become appreciated for, if nothing else, paving the way for villains like Mr. E, due to having the honor of being the first ever main villain of a whole Scooby-Doo series, as opposed only appearing in one or two episodes.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The idea of taking two experienced mystery-solvers and putting them in a new situation-- involving crazy science, superpowers and an overarching main villain-- was a pretty novel one. Sadly, it was botched execution wise.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The idea of taking two experienced mystery-solvers and putting them in a new situation-- involving crazy science, superpowers and an overarching main villain-- was a pretty novel one. Sadly, it was botched execution wise. And the complete DemotedToExtra treatment of the rest of the Scooby Doo main characters (especially Velma) just made this worse.

* BrokenBase: By far the most polarizing out of all the many ''Scooby-Doo'' shows, with ''WesternAnimation/BeCoolScoobyDoo'' coming in at a close second. On one hand, there are many fans who detest this series for eschewing the rest of the Mystery Inc. gang, having an unappealing animation style and character designs, and making so many changes to the formula that it is barely recognizable as a ''Scooby-Doo'' series at all. On the other hand, there are others who believe that the mystery-solving, villain-unmasking formula is getting a bit repetitive and see this show as a breath of fresh air for trying something new with ''Scooby-Doo'' for once.

"Bad thing made later this bad thing look better" is misuse of VBH. Stop adding it. VBH is a work that's vindicated by its own merits.


** After the very poorly-received ''WesternAnimation/{{Velma}}'' (generally agreed upon by many fans to be even worse than ''Get a Clue!'') came out, most comment sections of video clips from this show on Website/YouTube reads some variation of [[VindicatedByHistory "We owe this show an apology"]] or [[Film/AvengersEndgame "Perhaps I treated you too harshly"]].



* VindicatedByHistory: Once considered the worst entry in the ''Scooby-Doo'' franchise, TheNewTwenties has seen a lot of fans re-evaluate this show and decide it was actually better than they previously thought -- partly because it made for a fun show on its own that still kept the franchise's charm, and partly because the title of "worst ''Scooby-Doo'' production" had transferred from it to ''WesternAnimation/{{Velma}}''.

* AudienceAlienatingEra: Back then, it was the most divisive series in the ''Scooby-Doo'' franchise in the opinions of many fans, as this show replaced cerebral humor and clever slapstick with [[LargeHam overacting]] and CartoonPhysics on overdrive, featured [[StrictlyFormula repetitive plots]] and terrible art, omitted the mysteries that were absolutely central to most other incarnations of the series, and had a terrible theme song that ripped off Music/TheOffspring[='=]s "One Fine Day". The result was pretty much a mediocre RedundantParody of ''WesternAnimation/DynomuttDogWonder''.

Natters. The Velma show is irrelevant to this show's own changes and its reception.


* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Many people felt this show was inferior to other continuities because of the drastic departures, since it had Daphne, Velma, and Fred being DemotedToExtra (only giving the three speaking roles in ''two'' episodes and giving Fred and Daphne silent cameos in just one more episode) and eschewed mysteries and monster encounters for the most part in favor of a generic "stop the main villain from achieving world domination" plot. However, when Creator/HBOMax[='s=] much-maligned ''WesternAnimation/{{Velma}}'' came out, the even more unfavorable changes present in it made the changes from this show look minor and harmless by comparison.

Natter. Velma being worse is irrelevant to this show being an alienating era.

The result was pretty much a mediocre RedundantParody of ''WesternAnimation/DynomuttDogWonder''. However, it's not as bad as the monstrosity that is ''WesternAnimation/{{Velma}}'', which got a worse reception from fans for butchering the characters beyond recognition (not to mention omitting Scooby altogether) and having a needlessly mean-spirited tone.
