WAIT... Remember Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated?

Scooby-Doo has always followed a pretty standard formula for the majority of the franchises iterations, but come the start of the 2010's, Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated would change that. Keeping the special bits that make Scooby-Doo, Scooby-Doo, but wasn't afraid to build something a lot deeper and darker than that. Let's dive into one of my favorite series in the Scooby-Doo franchise.

Thanks so much for watching! What’s your favorite version of Scooby-Doo? Did you enjoy Mystery Incorporated?

[andrewsanusi]

To this day I will forever stand by and say Mystery Incorporated is the best iteration of Scooby Doo.

Professor Pericles was by far my favorite part of Mystery Incorporated. Everything from his persona, voice acting, his feats as a villain, and the fact that he's an actually threat unlike some of the other villains in the series.

There’s a reason people are still talking about this series. It’s the first Scooby Show I’ve watched every episode of. Definitely the better mature show compared to VELMA

[malikkelly]

Ofc I remember. This was the best version of Scooby Doo ever. Made it more dark and serious with a solid story line and character development

[MrSuperleobros]

It's criminal how underappreciated this version of Scooby was. I wish we'd see another Scooby series like this. Glad to see it's getting more appreciated these days.

It goes without saying that SDMI is one of if not THE best modern adaptation of the Scooby Doo franchise! I love how at first the series starts out with the Scooby gang dealing with their usual criminals in rubber masks and then eventually it got more serious and they ended up dealing with bigger threats that turned out to be real supernatural entities!

[BraxtonKovary]

This is still one of my favorite series from the franchise. The darker tone both in visual representation and the stories, really make it stand out among Scooby's timeline.

If you want a more "mature" oriented scooby doo, then forget the show "Velma". This is it right here. This is one of thee most mature scooby doo iterations ive seen next to Zombie Island. Quite honestly my favorite. Its one huge amazing story with the same classic scooby doo formula, but with so many hidden dark messages many adults would understand. Im genuinely upset this has not yet received a blu ray release. like why lol

[ivanbluecool]

Best reboot of an og franchise. Also gave us the answer to what the gang was going to in the original story which is even cooler as a reference

Same with how the mysteries were stacking as the show went.

I absolutely loved Mystery Incorporated. It was a great love letter to the franchise as a whole, and I loved its take on Scooby-Doo - the more in depth characters, the long-running plot, the tension during some episodes, etc… it was wonderful :)

[yohannmaquiling]

The best iteration of Scooby Doo, because it's not just having a day to day mystery that they just have to unmask people wearing costumes, but there is an actual story and a mystery like the curse and evil entity

[n.u.k.]

I love that they made Scooby an actual dog in this one. It's subtle, but It's there.

He is very protective of his friends, especially Shaggy because their besties and he's his owner.

He gets very upset and sad if anything happens to any of his friends.

He is also very tuned into the feelings of the individual members of the group. Often being the first to offer them comfort when they're sad.

All in all, he's a good boy. Fred may be the Heart of Mystery Incorporated, but Scooby is the Soul.

I kind of wish we got another season, where Mystery Incorporated being in the new world led to many familiar faces remembering their past lives and all the angst that follows.

How could I ever forget "Mystery Incorporated"? The best version of Scooby-Doo ever!

[andreakp]

Way back this show was on Netflix, and I remember randomly clicking on it while I was bored at home over winter break from school and it completely sucked me in. I wasn't and still am not someone who watches much animated content, nor had I even ever watched any previous Scooby Doo shows but I loved Mystery Incorporated and still think about it from time to time. Would love to do a rewatch at some point as I've forgotten most of the plot by now.

[misterzygarde]

I unironically want a see a version of Scoobynatural where Sam and Dean are sent to the Mystery Incorporated Universe. Imagine the two's reactions to learning what went on in Mystery Incorporated.

[Markimark]

Mystery Incorporated got me back into Cartoon Network in the early 2010s, because I was amazed how the cartoon returned the franchise back to glory! I was also disappointed when they cancelled the show, because it was getting darker and felt like it appealed to both kids and adults!

[hannahappa]

It used to scare me as a child but it is still one of the best Scooby doo shows, the references to other Scooby doo media and classic horror are just awesome. The plot was insane and I still watch it annually

[mlkshake]

This and "What's new Scooby Doo" were always my favorites. Fantastic review thanks for the reminder during spooky season.
