A total rip of great characters

I don't know much to say about this show. The music is horrible! The characters are all neurotic, high-tempered, and very annoying. Freddy has an IQ of 10, Velma has an IQ of 175, Daphne just cares about herself, Shaggy and Scooby are moderately normal. However, as crazy as this sounds, it does give clues to actually solve the mystery. They're better designed in that sense...but they're still not up to par with the original series.

You can catch this show and the originals on Cartoon Network. I highly recommend watching, "Scooby Doo Movies". They are very funny 1 hour adventures with: Batman & Robin, Penguin & Joker, Cass Elliot, Jonathan Winters, The Three Stooges, Sonny & Cher, Harlem Globetrotters, Josie & The Pussycats or Speed Buggy.

Scooby Doo's first five episodes are available on DVD also for you Scooby fans!
