Trivia:

The first regular series to use all of the original Scooby characters since _"Scooby and Scrappy-Doo" (1979)_. "The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries" (1984) featured Velma and Freddy in a few episodes, but most only feature Scooby-Doo, Scrappy-Doo, Shaggy, and Daphne.

Goofs:

Continuity: In the episode Lights! Camera! Mayhem!, Fred has to do a stunt involving bees. He, Shaggy and Scooby all get stung and have to go to the Security Office for First Aid ointment. While there, Velma finds an old scrapbook. As the Gang gather at the couch to see it, Daphne's pantyhose are missing. After the close-up on the book, they return.

Quotes:

Nancy Chang: Rufus Raucous, the magician the world watched perish on this very site, will return tonight; seemingly from the dead. Is this for real? I don't know. But I *do* know, I reported it first.

Movie Connections:

What's New Scooby Doo?

What's New Scooby-Doo? Well,...

...not much!

I know it's too soon to comment because only one episode has aired so far but I think I can predict where this show is going. Well, to begin with this show is WAY better then the ones that aired in the `80s but that's because the one from the `80s had Scrappy-Doo but that's the advantage of the show. It's Scrappy free! But the disadvantage is that William Hanna passed away and Joseph Barbera is to old to look over the show. That disadvantage could hurt the show a lot because this show is missing the Hanna-Barbera touch. Not to mention that it's missing the winning formula which made the original show Scobby-Doo, Where are You? such an incredibly great and funny show. And that formula is the great mysteries, characters, jokes, gags, and let's not forget the HIDDEN JOKES!!!!

So in conclusion this is a pretty good show actually and hopefully the writers, producers, and directors will find a winning formula and the show will get better and more creative as it goes on.
