Thanks so much for watching! Did you ever get to see this version of Scooby-Doo? If so, did you end up enjoying it for how different it was or was is something you weren't into? Let me know!

[@casellpeterson7424]

To be completely honest with you I have never heard of this one before😅

[@codymerrell5387]

Yes Shaggy & Scooter Doo Get A Clue needed a better theme song But they designed their eyes was creepy and Shaggy needed a Better fashion choice normally that’s Daphne’s area to be a Fashion police but Shaggy & Scooby needed more pizazz

[@untitled_unmastered]

I had some fun with this show, certainly wasn’t the worst scooby doo show. That isn’t much to say nowadays tough since Velma exists

[@samworkbench9754]

I always thought of it as a spin off, not a real show, and as a spin off it is a great spin off

[@cynthiachristie1059]

what about whats news scooby doo

[@slospop1125]

I like when Scooby doo tries something different. This is a show that didn't take itself too seriously it's weird and just fun, I always had a good time watching this show.

[@LegendStormcrow]

As long as they respect the source material. Velma doesn't. Even if this show didn't work, at least they understand the main characters.

[@benfletcher8100]

Especially when it’s good different, unlike Velma

[@mrquake7789]

Definitely

[@dcbandit]

I actually really enjoyed it. I liked how wacky and weird it was, and the characters felt on brand enough, even if the art style was different from what we were used to. The villain was very fun, a great parody of Bond villains, and the henchmen were great to the comedy.

[@connordarvall8482]

Stoners and spy thriller villains. I just realised that this particular show is about the 60s in general.

[@ThePreciseClimber]

And, interestingly, it did feature some serialised storytelling. Not anything mind-blowing but Phibes did eventually make progress in obtaining the nano-formula and Uncle Albert's secret identity was foreshadowed a bunch of times. I can appreciate that.

[@theoverpreparerlamenters3r436]

I agree

[@Shantosh9550]

Compared to Velma this show is a masterpiece.

[@VanessaDownen]

This is my second favorite Scooby series out of them all for many reasons, including pure nostalgia. I actually really enjoy the unique animation style, the villain is absolutely hilarious, if you pay attention the jokes and comedic timing are really great, and the story line always kept me interested. I also love the angle of the genetically enhanced Scooby Snacks, it definitely adds a fun twist to the show and makes for some great situational comedy. All in all, I think it's a gem and I wish more people could get past the minor annoyances and see how good a show this is.

[@SirSonic900]

I'm with you all the way on that. But I'm curious, you said it's your second favorite Scooby-Doo. What's your 1st?

[@__Soya__]

​@@SirSonic9005 bucks says mystery incorporated

[@ryzyble]

I LOVED THIS SHOW WHEN I WAS A KID! so glad more people are finding it. i thought it was hysterical and overall a more comfy setting than main series scooby doo

[@cartilagehead]

To be honest, I don’t think “lack of means” was ever really a problem for the Mysteries Inc gang-there was always an easy enough explanation for why they were somewhere in the world, or in space, or hanging out with a celebrity guest, etc. Like IDK that making Shaggy and Scooby rich and then giving them a cast of villains is that fundamental of a change from the original formula

[@mr.alucardrules4956]

in the scrappy era it showed that shaggy and scoobies famlies came from old money

[@WittyMick03]

I liked this show when I was a kid. I haven't thought about it for about a decade but watching the b-roll in this video made it all come back to me. The character design of the villain really disturbed me when I was a kid, and even now he still creeps me out.

[@bbobbers]

I loved this version of shaggy and Scooby! Even if it isn’t the best I have fond memories of this series and wish more people have heard and watched it

I’m in the same boat it was amazing I always looked for it but couldn’t find it, I would search scooby doo with powers and finally found it again. I liked this series.

[@Nightcore-336]

My brother used to have on DVD and I seen it on german dub and the fact that I one of those people who enjoy it

[@ItsOver9000Productions]

Just like Be Cool, nobody gave this show a chance. its fun and unique. Be Cool is genuinely great too.

[@thesajan1381]

Super funny & entertaining f u ask me. Hehehe

[@Lira_orpheus]

I like this show. Is simple, light hearted, unique and fun. I think it's in a perfect spot, being different to what came both before and after. I think the dynamic between this and Mystery Inc. is like Shrek and The Prince of Egypt (if Shrek didn't become of the most important pillars of modern pop culture); the funny, not very serious story to have some fun and the big complex masterpiece closer to art than entertainment.

[@TJ-kr3km]

I used to love this show i think people just didn’t give it a chance it had some great episodes and some actually funny jokes and a compelling plot and underlying mystery.

[@maxordman4100]

I love get a Clue. It’s still a wonderful piece of my teenage years. The theme song was a bop, and the animation was fantastic! This series will forever be special to me and I commend it for trying something special and different! Yay for Scooby-doo! Also any classic series is better than the current insane Dog-less series on HBO right now!

[@emkultra2349]

What in the Hanna-Barbara?This is the type of spinoff Id expect in the 70's. not knocking it, its just a strange direction to go(Mystery Machine transforms into anything,Shaggy inheriting an estate, Scoob having superpowers). tbs it looks super interesting.Its also giving Venture Bros vibes.

[@xenoemblem7]

I swear this was my favorite Scooby-Doo series. Granted I was very young, but I didn't think people would hate on this show that much 😅 I always make time to watch this.

[@DX2ification]

I remembered watching this as a kid and then just came to my mind as an adult. Still this was a fun show to watch and even the series finale episode was satisfying.

[@EnbyEnvy666]

this show was one of my favourites as a kid! Everytime Shaggy says "would you do it for a scooby snack?" in any series i always half expect scooby to get superpowers lol

[@canonogic]

The Scooby Doo equivalent to Phoneas and Ferb. Its was a good series and the artstyle still holds up. Remember it being quite funny too

[@LucosPlays]

Yeah i remember this version of the show aaaand aside from the theme song i find this show to be alright it's an interesting side story.

[@Trekapedia]

One of the last Kids’ WB! shows and I remember enjoying it. Ty for the videos and I appreciate it. This and What’s New Scooby-Doo? are two of the lesser known ones that were still great at least to me. I get What’s New Scooby-Doo? is more well known now, but I felt like back in the day, it kind of got overshadowed by other shows in the Scooby-Doo franchise and that used to air on Kids’ WB!

[@Santoryu90]

I thought this one was pretty meh at best and what I mostly remember from it was the theme song which admittedly was pretty catchy.

[@boydudereviews]

Ah yes. I remember when this first aired. I was 9 years old and I was obsessed with the theme song. I used to wish for that crazy new mystery machine as well.

[@captainoftheneverdie21]

Giving me flashbacks to when I was young and getting a kid friendly version of the Venture Bros. Which is what this show boils down to in my book.

[@emillion_to_1]

My sister and I loved this as kids! Thank you for covering this, Scooby-Doo was the thing we bonded over the most, and I have such fond memories of this iteration 😊

[@eerieeric834]

This is what happens when you give the comic relief character their own show

[@phantomkrieger2744]

Can’t help but feeling Number 21 and 24 vibes from the designs of Agent 1 and 2. Honestly I could see The Monarch fitting into this show pretty well.

[@RaptorofRex07]

0:21 Whoa what happened to Velma?

[@DuonDRaven]

Halfway through your description of the premise I had to stop and look up the air dates of this and the Venture Bro's lmao... HELPER, The Guild of Calamitous Intent, Henchmen 21 and 24 this is like a Scooby Doo themed funhouse mirror of Venture Bro's.

[@leon46295]

I remember when i was a kid, this was THE show. It was literally the only thing i would look for when i got the living room tv and if it wasnt on i would see when it was and wait. Loved this show

[@tcc17301]

I just saw this on the Scooby Doo Halloween Live Stream on KZbin and I was so confused because I’ve never seen this version before.

[@SHMidlerPlays]

I remember this show, I didn’t watch it consistently like many others but I definitely did enjoy what I did see of the show. And what made this show really stick with me after all this time was its unique art style, which I personally really liked as a kid. Kinda sad it gets so overlooked

[@captainofthecontrarians4204]

I liked this one as a kid. I always got excited to see what power would Scoob Snacks will grant them in the episode. They were really something to wait for.

[@YungandRekless545]

And SOMEHOW this respected the source material more than Velma

[@Aaronborrmann]

I’m going to be completely honest, I actually love the animation here

[@MasterC121]

Its odd because I remember seeing this show when it released and forgeting about it for years and assuming it was some sort of weird dream. And realizing its was a real thing is a very strange feeling

[@lisahoshowsky4251]

I remember really liking this show when it first aired when I was a kid. I don’t think as a 10 year old I thought this show was anything weird or groundbreaking because I didn’t grasp or even know it was a part of an established franchise, it was just a good show with the characters I liked from the original that aired as reruns (which again I probably didn’t realize were reruns at that age)

[@erima4270]

I have the theme song stuck in my head to this day

[@trustno173]

Here's a weird fact about the villain Dr. Phibes, he's named after the 1971 horror/drama/comedy The Abominable Dr. Phibes staring Vincent Price. Why I don't know, as he doesn't resemble Price nor does he have a tragic backstory like his namesake. He's apparently also a caricature of Batman The Animated Series/DCAU creator Bruce Timm.

[@cartilagehead]

“NANOMACHINES, SNAKE-I mean SCOOB!”

[@Aioba3846]

Oh, yeah. I adored it as a kid and even after a recent rewatch I still do. I was actually pretty surprised to learn of its obscurity when I last checked it.

[@smugsneasel]

Ah yes, the show whose theme song hurt to listen to. I don't even know what they were thinking with this.

[@snaketooth0943]

I remember liking this show as a kid. One time I referenced Scooby Snacks giving Scooby superpowers during breaktime at school and the other kids didn't know what I was talking about. Another time, me and my friends were playing pretend and I pretended to be the robot butler from the show but for some reason we were pretending to have guitars and one of my friends said there wasn't enough room for the word "butler" so he took the "-ler" part off but added a T.

[@schizoidboy]

I've never heard much of this series. I guess it was the timing and the fact it never showed on the other networks. The thing about Shaggy and Scooby is they're one of the most memorable comedy duos around; they've been around since 1969, and as cartoons you can keep doing things with them, even pairing them up with superheroes and celebrities, and none of it seems out of place. The aspects that they eat a lot and run constantly from danger but in the end help catch the bad guys make them some of the most complete cartoon characters around.

[@OtakuJuanma2]

Ever considered doing a "remember Star Wars Clone Wars?". And I mean the Tartakovsky miniseries, not the CG one. I ask because you're the one channel that makes me look back fondly to these obscure shows I LOVED as a kid, and Clone Wars was the one show that made me go from "this Star Wars thing dad showed me is cool I guess" to being a proper fan of the saga... let's not talk about the newer movies tho.

[@saintzeroinfinity]

What about remember Star Wars resistance ?

[@rudyproductions4557]

Omg! I remember seeing a whole ONE episode of this as a kid and being SO CONFUSED! And then not knowing what it was called so I kept feeling like I made it up!

I'm sure you have all the episodes for this marathon planned out (hell probably even recorded) but I really wanna put out into the universe that I HOPE you'll cover Scary Godmother one of these days! It was my favorite Halloween special thing that I watched for quite a few years in a row.

Ya know, it's funny you did a video on this series. I've recently been watching reruns of Get a Clue on the streaming app Dazofy. And I personally, really love this show. I love all the wacky hijinks that ensue. I love the ridiculous jokes. And I love that the main focus is Shaggy and Scooby-Doo. I love everything about the show... Except for the theme song. That in my opinion could have been done better. It feels like that part especially was rushed.

[@harryjohnson9215]

It was very popular in the UK Almost all of my friends watched it.

[@dillonchaddick695]

I actually really enjoyed this series as a kid. It was a unique take on the Scooby franchise that still felt right. It reminded me a lot of the older Scooby movies where only Shaggy, Scooby, and Scrappy-Doo were present as the focus. Still better and more true to the characters than “Velma”, too.

[@AC_memes]

I love this when I was a kid

[@galaxa13]

I remember when this show was starting I didn't bother watching it because the art style put me off. Hearing how they basically gave Scooby super powers and the same treatment to the Mystery Machine I think I probably would not have liked the writing either. If they were already giving Shaggy and Scoopy rich money why did they also need transformations? That said, it does sound like the show was fun and serviceable, if not the show that I particularly would want.

[@HamsterFactz]

As a child, the main Villains animation, aesthetic, and voice were all really grating to me and I hated that one character enough that I never gave this show a chance.

[@neonbarnowl]

Same I absolutely hated this as a kid 😅

[@bobcharlie2337]

I liked this show. It needed more substance to go with that art style. it opened up ideas to more creative art styles for Scooby doo.

[@pvi1640]

As someone who has watched almost every animated series, animated movie, and live action movie possible in this franchise. I find this series to be really interesting. I myself once wondered what it would be like. If Shaggy and Scooby were the only two remaining "active" members, of the original mystery-solving team. This dynamic duo of goofy mystery-solving best friends. Have much more to offer this franchise, than others might think. I really love the old formula of four teenagers and a talking dog. Who travel around the world, solving every creepy mystery they come across. But this formula of a cowardly and goofy duo who. Despite being constantly scared of everything, still faces their darkest fears. And makes sure that. The best possible outcome of their adventures, is achieved. It really makes me want to watch another series. Similar to "Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get a Clue!". This new, different and unusual flavor. Compared to almost any other possible incarnation of the franchise. Being the thing that intrigues me, and sparks my curiosity. About how much potential there can be in such a project.

[@ARRIANH]

Holy sht this show is so nostalgic! I was like 6-7 years old when i watch this show and i absolutely love it sm

[@adrianemanuel7121]

The Scooby series I definitely have the least experience with. It not getting re-airs on Cartoon Network definitely didn't help. I half expected Jordan to say it landed on Max streaming, but it's instead Boomerang streaming service 🤣😅. Really does feel like WB wants people to forget about it for whatever reason; maybe Velma could get that same treatment next 😬.

I personally liked this show for the animation and character designs, but I didn't get to properly watch it. I was only made aware of this show in late 2007 from an ad for Kids WB's fall season lineup in a comic, and I didn't get to watch it until sometime between late 2007 and early 2008 (maybe it was the latter) when I briefly got access to Polish Cartoon Network (basically the only time the show got to air on Cartoon Network, just not on the American one).
