generationofswine I blame Muppet babies for this. It came out when it was all the rage to turn the characters into children and...well, it worked for Muppet Babies.It didn't work so well for Scooby Doo and, honestly Fred was the only real source of humor.Fred jokes are great, one of the best parts of the latter days of Scooby Doo and I believe a lot of them started with this series...but you can't have Fred carry the entire cartoon on his own.Failure.

TheLittleSongbird First things first, A Pup Named Scooby Doo isn't the best Scooby Doo incarnation, the original series Scooby Doo Where Are You? in my opinion is unmatched. But it is not the worst, not like the abysmal Shaggy and Scooby Doo:Get a Clue. This was a cute and interesting series. Albeit it is flawed, the stories are fun if predictable, some episodes feel a little rushed and Fred and his personality annoyed me this time around. However, the animation is colourful, solid and a big step-up from the somewhat dreary style in the incarnations with Scrappy put in the equation and the music and songs by John Debney are great fun. The writing is funny, and Mystery Inc. have an easy-going chemistry still. Shaggy and Scooby never fail to bring a smile to my face, Scooby is so cute here, and I personally didn't mind Velma and Daphne here. The voice acting is solid too from Don Messick to Casey Kasem. Overall, a cute and interesting series without being definitive, but it never tried to be. I agree about the DVDs, they don't do this show any justice. 7/10 Bethany Cox

TheMan3051 Scooby-Doo, Where are you?, The New Scooby-Doo Movies, and The Scooby-Doo Show were all GREAT shows! They were funny, entertaining, and of course featured the famous hidden jokes. The `80s shows were HORRIBLE for the exception of this show. Which is cute for the kids but since it doesn't contain the formula of the first three it won't be entertaining and funny enough for older audiences.

PJS-5 The good:Its still a lot of fun here in this series plus we have the original voices of shag & scoob. (Casey Kasem as shag & the late Don Messick as Scoob.)It did the old series very well altough there are some exceptions. The Beautiful:I dunno what to place here The Bad:Purist fans will be displeased about how velma was made in this show but to folks like me its really no big deal. They really lowered freddy's IQ in this one & daphne was rather annoying in this one. The ugly:Read about Freddy & Daphne in "The Bad" section.
