Scooby-Doo was a legend among kids in the 60's and 70's, and the franchise stuck throughout many years. Some of the attempted revivals were a bit lackluster in my opinion, and Scooby-Doo seemed like it was dying down in quality to me.
That's when this show came out.
This series completely renewed my love for the entire franchise, and I hope future Scooby-Doo productions will follow in its footsteps. My favorite thing about the series was its way of giving a Scooby-Doo series a supernatural story arc, while maintaining the whole Scooby Doo Hoax plot, and taking time to develop its characters. Personally, I think that the gang members may have been a little bland before this series began developing them. Fred's love for traps, combined with his confusion of emotions towards Daphne, makes the character a lovable cloudcuckoolander and bold and brave leader of the gang at the same time. Daphne's character seemed the least developed, but it was also nice to see a relationship between her and Fred finally bloom. Velma was also a good character, as her snarky attitude and constant determination to figure the mysteries out, combined with confusion about her feelings for Shaggy in her earlier episodes, made her seem like a more realistic representation of a female mystery solving girl, or about as good of a representation as I presume one would have in real life. Shaggy and Scooby didn't need to change much, as it was always interesting how their personalities would play out to the Darker And Edgier feel of the series, with hilarious results. We're also introduced to new characters on the show, such as the hilarious Sheriff Bronson Stone, and the villainous Freak of Crystal Cove, who has also been overwhelmed by the secret of the treasure.
Overall, this is the Scooby-Doo people should want. It's funny and weird at the exact moments it needs to be. There was only one slight problem. CARTOON NETWORK FREAKIN' SCREWED IT!!! I'm sure I'm not the only one upset by the network's utter neglect for this series. I'm running out of words, so I'm just going to say that airing the story arc important episodes in inconvenient times was not smart, and I'm sure there were quite a few fans who did not get to finish the arc, or at least couldn't fully understand it due to not seeing episodes prior to it.

Possibly the best Scooby yet. 9.5/10 Stars!
