One of the worst parts of it is that Scooby Doo has had tons of successful series and they've all been pretty good. Yet they somehow managed to fuck this up despite it being an incredibly simple formula for a show.

It was never about Scooby Doo. IIRC, this was supposed to be an original show, but latching it to a successful 90s franchise must have looked like a sure money maker.

Edit: did some fact checking, this was a theory. The show actually was an unfortunate reimagining of Scooby Doo since its inception.

Scooby-doo is a 90s franchise now?

Holy cow, it’s a 70s franchise, but I misremembered, even though I watched dubs in the 80s! Technically it’s a 60s franchise because it was born in 1969.

That’s fair lol I was convinced A Pup Named Scooby-Doo was a 2000s show until like 5 years ago.
