For more than a decade, it looked as if this would be the final weekly Scooby Doo series. Following the unsuccessful run of The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo, the creators went back to the drawing board and turned the original "Mystery Inc." characters into small children, who now worked under the title of "The Scooby Doo Detective Agency." Gone were the days of a pup named Scrappy-Doo, this series ushered in the age of a pup named Scooby-Doo! Although they would have been this age in the '50s or '60s, the kids were far more like kids of the '80s, with computers, skateboards, and gadgets that were popularized far later. As in the original series, the villains of this series were always bad guys in rubber masks, a concept that they had gotten away from when Scrappy entered the show and the ghosts became real. More cartoonish than the rest of the shows, the characters seemed to nod back to the old Warner Bros. cartoons -- complete with bugging eyes, gaping jaws, and a myriad of hijinks and sound effects that were unlike previous Scooby-Doo entries.

One of the biggest running gags dealt with Freddy's nemesis, Red Herring, who was always accused of committing the crime, though he was never the perpetrator (except once). Other gags included Velma's catch-phrase "Jinkies" -- every time she uttered that phrase, it meant she had found a clue. Daphne became far more of a spoiled brat, whose butler, Jenkins, would come to her rescue anytime she called (which was often). Every episode had a chase scene that was underscored with a new song (much like the second season of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, during which time the stars would usually stop for a moment to dance. And episodes always wrapped with someone saying the villain would've gotten away with it if it weren't for "You lousy kids and a Pup Named Scooby-Doo!" It also started Freddie's phrase, "Let's split up gang".

The show played for a few years on ABC's Saturday morning schedule and then vanished without a trace until it surfaced several years later on Cartoon Network, where it's had a home ever since.

Theme Song Lyrics:

(Scooby-Dooby,
Scooby-Dooby-Doo!
Scooby-Dooby,
Scooby-Dooby-Doo!)
There's a mystery in town,
So call the coolest pup around,
Call Scooby,
A pup named Scooby-Doo!
(Scooby-Doobity-Doo, Scooby-Doo!)
Join Shaggy, and the crew,
Daphne, Freddie, Velma too!
And Scooby!
A pup named Scooby-Doo!
(Scooby-Doobity-Doo, Scooby-Doo!)
When the ghostly ghoul attacks,
Scooby eats a Scooby Snack!
Scooby-Dooby-Doo!
(Jinkies!)
(Scooby-Dooby,
Scooby-Dooby-Doo!
Scooby-Dooby,
Scooby-Dooby-Doo!)
So come on, it's mystery time,
You can help us solve the crime,
With Scooby, a pup named Scooby,
Scooby, a pup named Scooby-Doo!
(Scooby-Doobity-Doo, Scooby-Doo!)
Scooby-Doo, where are you?
Scooby-Doo!less «

• How long are episodes?

  I'm planning on buying DVD's of the series anyway, but I had a question. How long are the episodes? I looked at a few episodes they have on veoh and they all ranged from 7 minutes to 20 minutes. Do they all range like that, or is it not showing the whole episode?

• How old are they?

  How oldis the gang supposed to be? well, at least in this series. I remember reading somewhere that they were like 12 or something like that. But I just wanted to hear your opinions. Because personally I have no idea.

  8 Great

  I watch this in the morning. hide « show »

  It's another Scooby Doo show. So you must know a little bit about it, right? If you've watched the original and What's New Scooby Doo? then you'll like this one too. Instead of them all grown up, they're just kids solving mysteries. I do admit it's a bit repetitive, that you watch one episode you have already saw "all the episodes". So, here's how it usually goes: one person is having some sort of trouble, so the "gang" is there. They would listen to that person then set off to look for clues. The ghost, monster, whatever it is shows up probably once they found a clue. They run and hide, maybe act like a different person. That happens several times in the episode. A person shows up, which would be added as a suspect. Fast forward to the end, they gained all the clues, set up a trap (that probably won't work), then the people who hired them comes in. Fred accuses Red Herring, and Velma says who the suspect is and unmask the guy. Simple, right? Way too long for a "review".

  7.7 Good

  very good, overall hide « show »

  over all the consept of a pup named scooby doo was great, i enjoyed there playfull school boy detective agincy, and there nighbehood mysteries, very good for the 80s. Very good for the smaller chuldren to enjoy, and very funey and amusing which is what we want in scooby doo. Ashame they had to cancel it, but all good things come to an end. But it was not perfect, it was a bit too childish even for chuldren, also they could have exspanded there settings, to mor than the nighbehood
  
  Overall i give a 7.7, for a splendid show to are history of scooby doo.

  10 Perfect

  Okay so... Maybe I enjoy this scooby doo series more than the others. I think they have more peril than screaming like in the other series. So Read this review and AGREE! hide « show »

  Okay so... Maybe I enjoy this scooby doo series more than the others. I think they have more peril than screaming like in the other series. I guess I just think that these are clever brilliant monster ideas. I know it sounds silly but really I wish this was the one that was on the most because this was just Peril related is what I like to watch mostly. I will however do enjoy all Scooby-doo series just I want more episodes. That means we need a new season on Cartoon Network so I can at least see more episodes. I guess I want another season for more monsterly peril. I wish this was still containing episodes. Do you??? Do your friends, etc??????

  6.7 Fair

  A pup named scooby doo has nothing new to the Franchise. The Only Differnece is that they made the Chracthers Younger. hide « show »

  My 46th review after the Worst Nelvana cartoon of all time: Maggie and the Ferocious Beast. This cartoon Did not make any new things. it's the same old plot, same Scripts, and same Chrcathers. The music is Terrible, Lacky and Annoying. They had to sing Scooby dooby doo!!! 100,000 times on the dang SONG!!!!!!!! I rather get ran over by a Bullet Train down the Tokyo Subway, and get dragged over by the Train Wire, up to 500,000 Miles! rather then listening to the music! The Music SUCKS DOG BUTT!!!!! but the whole cartoon isn't that Bad. This cartoon will get a C-. Here the Results:
  
  Voice-acting: C 6.0/10.0 There is nothing new in the Voice-acting to the Franchise. it's just the Same.
  
  Animation: D 4.0/10.0 The Animation is Poorly drawn and it has Ugly Washed-up Bright Colors.
  
  Graphics: D 4.0/10.0 The Graphics Stink too. That's what makes the cartoon so Ugly.
  
  Sound: F 2.0/10.0 The sound effects are good, while the theme song and the chase song is Terrible! It's lacky and it's Annoying like I said before!
  
  Dialouge: C-- 5.0/10.0 Nothing new still.
  
  Lasting Appeal: B+ 7.8/10.0 The cartoon may be ugly but it can still be decent and a bit fun to watch.
  
  Overall: C- 6.7/10.0 This is one of the few Hanna-Barbera Rip-offs in younger forms. There are others like: Tom and Jerry kids, The Filnstones Kids, Even This! This cartoon is not all that good. This is just a Rip-off. Do Not watch it if you don't like it.
