I blame Muppet babies for this. It came out when it was all the rage to turn the characters into children and...well, it worked for Muppet Babies.It didn't work so well for Scooby Doo and, honestly Fred was the only real source of humor.Fred jokes are great, one of the best parts of the latter days of Scooby Doo and I believe a lot of them started with this series...but you can't have Fred carry the entire cartoon on his own.Failure.

A Pup Named Scooby Doo is great. I loved watching that cartoon when I was little and I have been trying to find a collection of all 30 episodes on DVD but it is practically impossible. This show was great for kids to watch it could make kids want to explore the world so to speak. I know it made me want to. I really loved that cartoon it was humorous and I loved it. I wish that was still making it. Then they were kids and a pup and it was more of a kids cartoon now the Original Scooby Doo it is great but I would prefer the A Pup Named Scooby Doo over the original any day. It really upsets me that i never get to watch it. It only comes on at 5:30 a.m. on Cartoon Network and I don't have that channel. So hopefully there will be a collection of all episodes that will come out.

Like many of the reviews of the current full-lenght movie point out, the original Scooby Doo was somehow very camp and contained some light, but funny, drug references, and had likeable characters.In respect to this, this version is an absolute lemon and rip-off: the characters are the sort of 6-year-old neurotic kids you sadly see around these days (product of neurotic parents) but wouldn't want to go near.In one particular episode they had to uncover a drug smuggler, and each time the word "drug" was pronounced, all character went "drugs... bleah!" in disgust, like (stupid) 4-year-olds at chorus practice. So, if the guy who commented that these are the characters "when they were kids", I would like to know what, oh what, took away poor Shaggy's virtue...On top of it all, in the Italian version Scooby-Doo speaks with a very strong Neapolitan accent, sometimes even Neapolitan dialect.How low can you get?

This show is cute. it is not as good as "Scooby doo where are you" but it's just cute and puppy Scooby is cute Just cute
