Thanks so much for watching! Let me know your thoughts on What's New, Scooby-Doo! Did you enjoy this iteration of the franchise or do you think it doesn't live up to the nostalgia of it?

[@Bulbasaur617]

I think this is a really nice interpretation of the Scooby Doo franchise. It's like a nice modernization of the series at the time. Still one of my favorite versions of the show to this day.

[@Reclaim.290]

Yeah it played a big part of my childhood

[@evster6343]

I grew up with this version so I will always love this version

What’s New, Scooby-Doo? I think you mean the best iteration of Scooby Doo

[@ededdneddy4ever34]

Not my favorite iteration but holds a special place in my heart as my first scooby doo series and the series aged with me. Mystery incorporated and a pup named scooby doo will always be my favorite though

[@cooleddie1438]

It didn’t make you really have to think or get to riled up while watching it . You could turn your brain off and chill , That’s one of the things I liked about it , That’s the opposite effect with mystery incorporated it had a very intriguing mystery and plot developments that kept you thinking and wondering. Both senecios are good In they’re own way.

Ah "What's New Scooby-Doo" the first ever modern adaptation of the Scooby Doo franchise, As well as one of the longest running Scooby Doo series! I say longest running because WNSD ran for a total 3 seasons, 42 episodes, 3 holiday specials and 7 straight to video spin off films.

I still remember I grew up with this iteration when it aired during it’s run as well the movies during the 2000’s and the original series thanks to having a VHS of Where Are You. I have a lot of nostalgia all thanks to What’s New.

[@Happy_Slappy2_0]

I was a toddler when I saw this version of scooby-doo and it was absolutely my favorite, and then a few years later thanks to Boomerang, I found out there was a kiddie version of the show too which is the afformmentioned A Pup Named Scooby-Doo and I loved watching that as well. I also was loving the three direct to dvd movies of Scooby Doo from the 90s, Witch's Ghost, The Cyber Chase, and Zombie Island. I'm 24 now and thanks to free safe sources I pretty much watch my fave Scooby-Doo stuff there.

Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase was released in 2001.

[@noneofyourbuisness1679]

This was definitely the Scooby Doo of my childhood. I saw "A Pup Named Scooby Doo", too, and I liked it it’s overall more comedic style, but I didn’t get to see as much due to only having access to Boomerang when I visited my grandparents. You could say "What’s New" appealed to me more through simple accessibility, but it had so much more to offer besides that - and I don’t just mean one of the best cartoon theme songs of all time. There’s a reason Simple Plan re-released it a few years back

[@bland9876]

To this day still have no idea how you got access to Boomerang.

[@noneofyourbuisness1679]

@@bland9876It was a separate channel, sort of the 'retirement home' for old shows that had run their course or had premiered before Cartoon Network was formed - you had all the classic Hanna Barbera shows, like Yogi Bear, the Flintstones, and the original Scooby Doo, but then later on in the evenings you'd get the original Pokemon anime, Teen Titans, Generator Rex, pretty much everything before the early 2010's. Then Cartoon Network got the shitty idea to chuck all that out the window and show only early seasons of their still running shows, with the occasionally older cartoon thrown in. Because why would you bother airing a different show on a different channel that you own? As for getting access to it, the most I can say is that it depends on your TV provider. To this day, my grandparents still have access to the channel and had changed providers at least twice, that I'm aware of (most of my memories are fuzzy due to early childhood not caring about specifics). I think dish satellite had it back in the early 2000's if you bought a certain package, but that's about all I can say.

[@LucarioShirona]

I grew up with this version of Scooby-Doo, it really brought back the classic formula to the modern era/2000s with all the right notes.

[@darthchalupa2485]

I always viewed What's New Scooby-Doo? as a direct continuation of the original Scooby-Doo, Where Are you? and I mean that in the best way possible. Both shows are very much a product of their times but by keeping to the classic formula for mysteries its really interesting seeing how much has both stayed the same & changed. Not just technology or slang but things like art style, character writing conventions, and even the voice acting direction from their respective decades are baked into each of these shows. So it was fun when Cartoon Network would play What's New or Scooby Doo-Where Are You? because it was like getting two different flavors of the same great show

[@Sindragozer]

Great episode Jordan! I love What's New Scooby Doo. I have the whole series on DVD still

[@kidbonesonline]

My childhood show! ❤

[@matthewstorrs7084]

The thing I remember was that for at least one season (might have been more) when it was on Kids WB, they wouldn't reveal the culprit of every episode at the end. Instead, you'd go online and pick who you thought it was. Then, at the beginning of the episode's time slot, before getting into the new plot, they'd reveal who did it from last time, and the first five or so correct answers would get their names on tv during commercials. It was a cool gimmick, and what made this iteration stand out to me, though I imagine it wouldn't really work on a rewatch.

[@trinaq]

This was the version of the show that I grew up with, and it was my entire jam, as was the catchy theme song, performed by Simple Plan!

[@hope-cat4894]

Everyone loves the Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated version, but this was my favorite one. It just brings up such nice memories for me. 😁

[@CollinMcLean]

This was maybe my favorite version of the show. It produced some of the best looking Scooby-Doo movies and felt like the original while still being unique. But I was also born in 99 so I might be biased since this was the Scooby Doo version I grew up with.

[@raw086]

This is definitely one of the shows that I caught mostly when I was home sick from school or vacation

[@vocalstrike]

This was the Scooby-Doo I mainly grew up with. What introduced me to the older shows was that every year on Boomerang throughout the entire month of October, the channel would have a 24/7 Scooby-Doo marathon. It had the old shows for the time, Scooby-Doo Where are You, A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo, basically every show before What's New Scooby-Doo since that was the newest one at the time. It even threw in the Olympics inspired sports competition show that had the different Hannah-Barbera characters split into 3 teams competing with each other. Good times... 😌

[@hydraph4843]

Growing up with this version made it very special to me. Whereas mystery incorporated was like my getting edgy, teenage phase what's new was my kid series. And I'll be honest some of my favourite scares from the entire scooby doo franchise are from this series. Mystery incorporated could get freaky sure, and some of the films like zombie island and abracadabra doo (banshee scene) and that camp one (flashback where that guy turns into a fish) got downright scary, but this series actually had its own moments. I had a massive fear of clowns growing up (I am better with them now, but I blame it on that one clown scene from James Bond) so naturally the giant mechanical clown one was horrifying to me, and I would often avoid it. Also freaky were the fish monster one in Antarctica, as the power cut, isolated structures had a great atmosphere and the whole idea of the fish dragging you away slowly just to throw you into freezing cold water was downright horrifying (especially because the fish monster was really good in chases, like he felt like a monster you couldn't run away from unlike the others where it was like oh yeah hehe they can't catch me I'm too fast), the doll episode as I hated dolls, and still have a bit of a fear of them now, the AI controlled house due to that opening mirror scene and the room slowly filling up with water, and the civil war soldier episode, though I cannot really remember why it was freaky. This is actually getting me in the mood to rewatch these episodes

Besides the OG Scooby Doo and the Guess Who series, this' probably one of my all-time favorites in the franchise. Loved watching this show with my bro, back when Kids WB still existed on Saturday mornings. Good times...
