In my opinion, because of Velma, the past productions of Scooby Doo's gonna get more respect than before, after all, this series had all the elements Velma needed to be good.

I grew up watching What’s New Scooby Doo. Had fun adventures, mysteries sometimes were more than mysteries, and it was more light hearted. When I watch Mystery Inc, I get this unintentional cool feeling that it’s What’s New, but matured with their audience. More serious mysteries, good comedic moments, and most importantly, these character we’ve grown up with FINALLY gets character development. Hard for reboots to nail the formula with a new spin.

It was pretty cool how each on this show, it connected each Hannah Barbera shows into one universe

What was pretty amusing about the show was that Fred's kidnapper (Fred Jones Sr.) was a more caring parent to Fred than Fred's own biological parents...

I remember watching this show with my brother during summertime. This is definitely one of the best scooby doo series I have EVER watched and it deserves more attention. There’s mystery, horror, humor, and the characters stay true to themselves. I would definitely recommend watching.

Mystery Incorporated is how you do a rework of a beloved franchise and modernize it without losing the core of what made the franchise special in the first place.

Velma is how you rework a beloved franchise and "mOdErNiZe" it while also losing the core of what made the franchise special in the first place. I mean, Velma feels like Scooby-Doo characters slapped over a different show, and even saying THAT is generous.

It only dawned on me recently but I always think that in some aspects, characterization is the most important factor to writing a good product. While the story is the "vehicle", the characters are the "wheels" and if it wasn't for the evolved characterization of the Scooby Doo cast in Mystery Inc., people probably wouldn't have been as invested with the story because the characters were what kept it moving.

One of my favorite elements of this series was how each unmasked villain contained clues that answered all of the questions (why Crystal Cove is haunted, the discovery of the original Mystery Inc, and the pieces of the capsule) I’ll never forget the shock and confusion I felt during one episode of season 1 where, after Mystery Inc unmasked a villain, they received a random letter from Mr. E saying how he had the remaining answers to the mystery and how impressed he was with Mystery Inc. Mr. E was watching them. (I think this was in the Gator episode)

I personally think this is the best, I love the show, I've watched it three times now and it still makes me laugh and I always get into it. Yes its not normal scooby doo, yes its weird. But thats what's amazing about it. Its Not normal, its New. And Sometimes new is Good, it can be uncomfortable but you gotta learn to open up... But, thats sometimes. Not All new us good, Velma for instance. Anyways, back to Mystery Inc. I liked seeing a Deeper lore for the gang being together, the deeper history of the gang and the backstory and stuff. The gang learning about the episodes mystery but trying to also piece together the Series mystery. Which they managed to blend amazingly I think. It never felt like, "Stop showing us this mystery, I want to see the other one." I always enjoyed both of em. And not to mention since it was all based in one town and everything it felt more personal for everyone. It wasnt just, some random town or location that they might never visit again. It was Home, with their parents and school and stuff. Even the Back ground characters had stories that evolved and shifted. It was just, More then what the original series provided in my opinion. And they did it Great. Now, me saying all this does Not mean I'm saying the others are bad. I Still think the other Scoobies are great, minus Velma. But this one just meant more for me.

It introduced a bigger plot with multiple smaller mysteries taking place within episodes which slowly merged together until the finale. Characters would change and alter and these changes lasted multiple episodes. Lot of mysteries would be carried over multiple episodes and slowly reveal the main story. It was engaging as much as it was entertaining. It wasn't just short episodes that had nothing to do with each over but one large one which viewers wanted to know as much as the characters. The world felt consistent and relevant and gave the views more to do than just being entertained. It made them want more and to solve the greater mystery which was taking place.

This is one of those shows I feel is truly one of a kind, and that it would be hard if not impossible to make something like this again. It's a connected story with one big arc which the characters slowly uncover more and more pieces of, and uses beloved, classic characters to do so, yet updates them in ways natural to their core elements.

[Frijoleto]

These show was actually pretty amazing, and the fact that it kept everything in balance with its humor, dark tones, and relatable characters was so good, and of course the main storyline itself is what kept me intrigued by watching every episode.

How is it possible this show did better at being an adult show than Velma, an actual adult show?

[thediamonddragon]

Finally! I'm so glad you brought to light the rightful appreciation to this show its so good

[zacharybartolo]

The thing is for the characters in this show, for as many faults and problems as they have, they aren't all just complete horrible pieces of shit. There's likability to them, they show concern and care for each other, even when they're mad at each other, they work through though toxic problems and become better. Even the town, for as much as it ostracizes them, they go out of their way to help the people of Crystal Cove. Even the Sheriff comes to respect them!

[GamerSlyRatchet]

Mystery Incorporated was a brilliant show and just slightly before its time. Co-creator Mitch Watson since then has moved on to other good shows like Beware the Batman, All Hail King Julien, Kung Fu Panda: Paws of Destiny, and Big Nate. You can find some of the ingredients that made MI good in those shows too, from the darker humor to the horror vibe of some episodes, serialized storytelling, and the voice cast.

[rogueguardian]

This show and what's new Scooby Doo are perfect!

[WolfmanArt]

Definitely one of my top 5 versions of Scooby-Doo!!!!

0:55 I've heard a lot of jokes about comparing the sheriff to Joe Swanson.

The question remains:

Where is Scooby-Doo?
