Right off the mark I'll say that this is going to be dated for the younger crowd and horribly so.The animation is typical Hannah-Barbara and, people my age love it but I don't think that love would transfer well to the sleek computer animations that so many Millennials and post Millennials are accustomed to.Still, we have the songs that hearken back to the Monkeys TV show and the chase scenes that are reminiscent of Benny Hill even though they all have a repeating background. A plot that is sort of, kind of like the Archies, meets Captain Cave-Man, meets classic horror teens in danger with a twist.Its the show that started it, the show that I loved as a child, and one that still works for what it is.If you can overcome how dated it is, the shows are still entertaining and fun.

I grew up on Scooby Doo (admittedly the same few episodes played again and again on VHS), and it certainly had an impact on my life when I was younger - it inspired my curiosity about the world and helped me be a little less afraid of the dark. It's a classic show that nearly everyone knows, and as I'm re-watching it now, it's so wonderfully simple and entertaining, and I remember why I love it so much. I can see why it's a franchise that's survived the ages.The intro song in particular is one of my favourite parts - it's so catchy! The cartoon style is classic and apart from a few small errors here and there, is beautifully animated. The details in the background are also amazing - they provide a hint of realism to the more cartoonish style.Basically, I love Scooby Doo and the original series is probably my favourite simply because of nostalgia.

I never liked Scooby Doo very much, but I found him entertaining because most of the todays cartoons sucks. The problem I had with this show was just it was the same all the time; five kids are solving a mystery, involving a ghost or some kind of monster, chasing each other for a 20 minutes, Scooby and Shaggy are complaining all the time they're hungry and scared to death and in the end kids unmask the monster, which is nothing more than some greedy scientist. I hate the fact that the show is popular just because of Shaggy and Scooby, others three characters are not important or even funny. They are there just because they have to be, but in fact nobody would missed them. Scooby Doo is cool cartoon, but overrated and completely the same all the time, same type of characters, same chasing scenes and boring ghosts.

Well I can understand some of these debasing reviews, the plot was a little thin. However, after identifying with one of the five characters, (or maybe more), you would undoubtedly empathize through every tribulation, (leading to furthered series). I personally relate to Shaggy and as I read assessments calling him, (and scoob'), a coward i take offense. I would any sane person to act as the other three do regularly. Fred, Velma and Daphne while all adept, (in some manner of speaking), were meant to exemplify inexperience. No average joe should attempt to apprehend a mischief-maker, supernatural or not. Scoob' and Shag' are the unlikely heroes and anyone questioning their merit forgets the underdog, (show).What I find now, though, is an endless array of innuendos. From a smoke filled van to a talking dog. The munchies and paranoia can also affirm such a conclusion. Looking back i couldn't quite grasp such connotations and I think that also held my interest through the years.Scoob' is a classic satire
