Trivia:

The first regular series to use all of the original Scooby characters since _"Scooby and Scrappy-Doo" (1979)_. "The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries" (1984) featured Velma and Freddy in a few episodes, but most only feature Scooby-Doo, Scrappy-Doo, Shaggy, and Daphne.

Goofs:

Continuity: 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:

Velma Dinkley: [Velma just got a makeover from the makeover machine of the future] I feel like I got 10 pounds of make-up on, these shoes are too tight and?
[sees herself in the mirror - she is in a tank top, tight pants, high heals, is without her glasses and has her hair done really nice]
Velma Dinkley: ?Wow, I'm hot!

Soundtrack:

What's New Scooby Doo?

What's New Scooby-Doo? They're coming after you. We're gonna solve that mystery!

What can I say? I have to agree with most everything that was said here. I really like this show, especially putting Scooby-Doo in a more modern setting with new technology (cell phones, a computer in the Mystery Machine, industrial size Scooby-Snacks, etc.) I also really like the music on the show. About the voices, it's good to see Frank Welker and Casey Kasem still voicing Fred and Shaggy. Frank's Scooby voice is good, but I wonder what ever happened to Scott Innes who did Scooby's voice in the direct-to-video movies. And there's Grey DeLisle who reprises her role as Daphne from "The Cyber Chase." As for Marcie Cole's Velma, it's not the best, but a little better then B.J. Ward's. Marcie sort of keeps the nasal tone in her voice. And the show itself still stays true to the original mystery solving formula and catching the bad guy at the end, who would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling kids. It's good to see that after 33 years the famous Great Dane hasn't lost it's touch. Catch this show weekday mornings on Kids WB. It's highly recommended for any Scooby-Doo fan.
