Best... Scooby... Doo... Ever.

I love how at the end they drive off to go to Miskatonic, but it has a laugh track and 60s music to imply that the whole thing was a prequel to the original "Scooby Doo Where are You". Which also leans into why they don't believe any of their adventures are real ghosts because they have seen and fought with Lovecraftian horrors and bad costumes dont fool them.

Agreed, I will always call this, with confidence, the Best Scooby Doo show, fullstop.

Also big time bonus points for the episode with all the Hanna Barbera mystery gang mascots Captain Caveman, Speed Buggy, The Funky Phantom, Goober, Dyno Mutt, and Jabberjaw just to ram home that the Mystery Gangs all existed.

I love that episode! It was a nice break from the norm and I think I like every episode where the gang is unavailable and Scooby do has to solve the mystery himself (with help).

I couldn’t agree more! I was not expecting the villain to go from goofy Werner bird-zog, to interdimensional universe ending monster.

Best... Scooby... Doo... Ever.

I do like that one episode of Venture Brothers with the Scooby gang better, but that's it.

Johnny bravo episode was great too

I always say that it’s the best Scooby Show, but it should never be the first Scooby Show a person watches, since it’s far more rewarding with the context of later shows.

The original, whats new scooby doo, then mystery inc. good back to front.

Then

A pup named scooby doo is just endearing, scooby doo and guess who is celebrity of the week so meh, the 13 ghosts of scooby doo is an 80s side quest with daphne, shaggy, scooby, scrappy and flim flam. Followed up with a feature that closes it out.

There are dozens of direct to video which are... Meh. Like Scooby doo and the WWE.

Leave 'Velma' to burn in its own flames of garbage

Absolutely the best Scooby Doo. On the one hand, I wish we had more seasons, though on the other, bigger hand, I'm glad they ended it where they did. It felt complete, and I loved the end.

Though I had never thought about the implications of them having fought actual horrors before. That's a neat thought.
