Scooby, Shaggy, Fred, Daphne and Velma are back once again to catch ghostly villains. But this time, they are joined by Scooby's hyper and feisty miniature nephew, Scrappy Doo.
The entire gang is here during the first reason, and Scrappy blended in well with the Mystery, Inc. gang. In my opinion, the story does better when there is more screen time with Fred, Daphne and Velma as they contribute more to the plot and give out more humor and suspense. Scrappy was a fun addition at first, but as the show progressed further into the other seasons, his overzealousness and him wanting to fight a lot was a bit too much.
It was a pretty entertaining show at first, but the original gang minus the pup is preferable - especially true when later seasons only featured Scooby, Shaggy and Scrappy. By the time that happened, the mystery-solving suspense and fun were gone and what we were left with was basic, childish and casual cartoon fare with little or no plot/relevance.
Grade B-
