Trivia

Scott Innes did not reprise his role as Scooby-Doo for the series, so the creators of the series were thinking of replacing Innes with Marty Grabstein. However, Grabstein was too busy voicing his other cartoon dog character Courage the Cowardly Dog (1999). The role for Scooby-Doo went to Frank Welker.

Goofs

In the episode Lights! Camera! Mayhem!, Fred has to do a stunt involving bees. He, Shaggy and Scooby all get stung and have to go to the Security Office for First Aid ointment. While there, Velma finds an old scrapbook. As the Gang gather at the couch to see it, Daphne's pantyhose are missing. After the close-up on the book, they return.

Quotes

Daphne: [disguised as her cousin] I hope this works. The family resemblance is uncanny.
Velma Dinkley: So you look like Danica?
Daphne: Yes, but, so does Uncle Julius when *he's* in heels.

Should have been a Season Box Set

I have the Scooby Doo Golden Collection and I think it's great to have loads of Scooby Doo episodes together in one collection. These new episodes are great but giving us 4 at a time is not a good idea and I really think Warner would have been better off investing their time (as we would invest our money) in a First Season Box Set.

What we are given for now are individual DVD releases with four episodes running 22 minutes each. A couple of them have below average stories but the other two are up to scratch. The animation and color pallet are very bright and modern as is the soundtrack which incorporates more original music than the old school shows (which tended to re-use temp scores and source music over and over) but manages to work in familiar themes.

For Scooby Doo purists there is no sacrilege here. Shaggy and Scooby/Fred are performed by Casey Kasem and Frank Welker so there's not too much of a divide between this and old school to distance older fans from the new show.

I do hope this show goes on and on.

For what it is, the DVDs present the show absolutely flawlessly in 1.33:1 full frame with pretty active Dolby 2.0 surround and some minimal fluff extras. Buy it cheap and hope for a Season Box Set.
