Scooby Doo Mystery Inc

Has anybody seen this yet? The first ep aired earlier this month but I missed it and found it on youtube. And I have to say that this is the first Scooby Doo series since the original 60s/70's series that I've honestly loved from the start. It's a sorta reboot in that they're in a new town (Crystal Cove) but there are homages to the original. Don Knots even makes a cameo appearance!

There are several differences in this tho:
1: They're actually going to school (high school)
2: Kasey Kasem is now voicing Shaggy's dad.
3: Daphne's parents are young
Spoiler:
(I swear Daphne must be a clone of her mom or something. She's got 4 identical sisters named Daisy, Dawn, Delilah and Dorothy.
)
4: In Pup Named Scooby Doo Fred's dad was in charge of the newspaper now
Spoiler:
he's the mayor!

5: This series has a plot.... a gosh darned actual PLOT. It's got an ongoing storyline!
6:
Spoiler:
The main antaginist appears to be the town sherriff. He hates that the kids are meddling in his affairs by solving the crimes.

7:
Spoiler:
Hey....there's a black person in the town! She's a friend of theirs who works for an AM radio station they hang out at. And yes she's got a big ole afro.


There's some weird stuff in it. Namely
Spoiler:
Velma and Shaggy are secretly dating!!


You can see the pilot here (the rest of the series won't be airing till summer):

Thanks for posting the pilot episode. I like the fact that there is a bigger mystery to be solved. Also, I love Patrick Warburton as the voice of the sherriff. He was awesome as Kronk in "the Empiror's new groove". Can't wait to see more.

Thanks for posting. Its good but I think the best Scooby series since the original still goes to "What's New Scooby Doo?".

As far as this one episode, Mystery Inc. is pretty close. The writing is good and it seems to be a tad more graphic and dark (well as dark as scooby can go anyway).

My only 2 complaints are Velma and Shaggy being boyfriend and girlfriend seems kinda awkward. Shaggy's never seemed like the kinda guy Velma would go for.

Second I prefer the the art style of "What's New" over this one. This looks too cartoon-y, if ya know I mean. Slimmer bodies and beady eyes. I like the more human-accurate look of "What's New".

And Oh ya. Everytime the sheriff spoke all I could see was Joe from Family Guy.

I should inform my mother of this. She's a major Scooby Doo fan.

The sheriff makes me think of Brock Samson.

Well, it is voiced by the same actor. Pilot episode was good, although it was weird that Velma is dating Shaggy (that was big WTH when I saw it). Weird that all the characters look different (in some way or another) but Scooby looks exactly the same.
