Scooby-Doo: Mystery Inc 10/4

My god, I love this show so very, very much. We've got Terminator and Alien references, continued awesomeness from Sherrif Stone, an insane asylumn for animals, more hints at the greater mystery, AND a Yogi Bear cameo.

This is officially the best Scooby Doo series to come out in years.

Velma lost Shaggy to Scooby such a shame. I liked the Velma, Shaggy, Scooby dynamic in the show, but who knows the season isn't over yet and there's more to be revealed.

Just caught this episode. Really like this show because they went back and took all the stuff that was hinted at in Scooby-Doo Where are you?, and all the stuff that they dropped in the later shows. (Specifically Danger prone Daphne)

Hopefully both Scooby and Velma realize they are being selfish and can learn to share.

We only have 3 episodes left this season, and hopefully we'll get a nice resolution to the ongoing mystery, and maybe some hints as to who Mister E really is.

Wait I thought this season was supposed to be 26 episodes. The weekly game thing on thier site has 26 spots for 26 monsters.

I've waited so long for a great Scooby Doo revival and this show is delivering on all cylinders.

Hopefully it'll last.

The Mayor and the DJ obviously know SOMETHING about it. Though both seemed to be more shocked by the clues that show up. I'm pumped to see the resolution of the whole thing AND to see if they'll have another over-arcing mystery next season.

I agree with Cowman don't think the Fred's dad could be Mr. E since he wants to keep mysteries a mystery vs. having them solved, and exposed. Fred's dad definitely seems to know something and might have been involved with whatever happened to the old Mystery Incorporated gang. Mr. E definitely wants the new Mystery Inc. to find out want happened to their predecessors and expose the truth behind it were as the Mayor wants to have it stay hidden. Unless the writers are going for the "I feel so guilty so I have to create a 2nd identity to expose my guilt" subplot with Fred's dad.

I like the Mr. E subplot in the sense that a long-running plotline ties the show together well, which is something other Scooby shows have missed. However, I really dislike that Mr. E solves all the mysteries for the kids. It seems like in every episode the only function of the gang is to actually trap the monster, since Mr. E figures out who it is and the villains themselves are the only ones who know their motives. It doesn't make it more of a mystery when you don't tell the audience any relevant clues.

I also miss the old Scooby/Velma dynamic. Didn't he used to jump to her aid just as often as Shaggy's? I know they're setting up a conflict within the group with the "love triangle" (which is odd because even Daphne should have said something about how wrong it is to force Shaggy to choose) but that seems to be one of the bigger changes to then Gang to me.

But I do like the show. I think it was LiquidX who said that all it needs is Red Herring to make an appearance. It's not a faultless show but it's definitely one of the best Scooby shows in a long time.

What if Mr. E turns out to be the parrot?
