Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!

The 1969 TV series was instantly my favorite Saturday morning fare until realizing at that young age that the boogie man was predictably the person who stood to gain the most by lack of humans around the haunted venue.

Fast-forward past various reboots, animated and live-action movies, the gang finally built up the oeuvre to allow the kind-of-self-aware Mystery Incorporated, another excellent series.

Then Be Cool. What with the skinny legs and apparent plastic surgery, I kept with it for Frank W.'s continued efforts and Kate M.'s addition to the cast. It grew on me and now it's a favorite series. The writing, the character interaction, the on-screen action - all these contribute to the fun. Personalities are amped up a little too - Daphne is more of a character this time instead of just being Fred's implied girlfriend.
