okay I did not know that the dude behind 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo went on to do Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs

Just want to jump in here to dispel the notion that Scooby Doo cartoons completely deny the existence of the supernatural. There are plenty of episodes out there that involve real spooks.
For example, check out this clip from Scooby Doo and Zombie Islandhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsOYaXibrsI
This shit is truly creepy - note the unusually realistic animation style. I feel kind of bad letting my son and two small nieces even watch this episode.

Oh yeah, since maybe the late 1980s Scooby Doo actually had ghosts in it sometimes: the Boo Brothers, the Reluctant Werewolf,the Witches Ghost...

Scooby + Shaggy / Scrappy = Fred + Barney / The Thing

Personally, I think the episodes and cartoon movies that have come out in the past decade are far better than old school Scooby Doo. The animation is improved, they are a bit more self-aware of the ridiculousness of the premise, the episodes feature some peppy musical interludes, etc.

darraghmac, just imagine that I came out with a new "translation" of the Tain bo Cuailnge where Cuchullain had a little kid helper always quick with a current-to-the-times wisecrack, and the name of the character was like "Moomoollin'"
now animate that
voila, Scrappy Doo

I want to say that it is totally true that Scooby-Doo has gotten much better through its various incarnations but part of me wonders if A Pup Named Scooby-Doo seeming like SUCH a breath of fresh air after an original series S-D marathon isn't mostly up to it fitting the standards of WB afterschool cartoons ca. 1993, modern-style animation and meta jokes?? can i really say that meeting Smash Mouth sucks less than meeting the Speed Buggy gang?? questions!!!

My own Facebook strawpoll didn't yield many results, but they were mostly negative. Interestingly though, my sister said:
It's been so long that I don't feel qualified to speak about Scrappy, but I seem to recall that he was the one who was looking for clues... which makes him an evidence-based mystery solver, which I can get behind.
I doubt that we've ever watched or talked about Scrappy-Doo together.

xp: In the interests of truth, my sister later clarified that I had once before updated my Facebook status in defense of Scrappy Doo, which had colored her opinion. However, I managed to partially sway another friend, who liked the mystery-solving aspects of his character but felt he had anger management issues.

Evanier's six-part essay on the birth of Scrappy Doo:
People ask me if I knew at the time I was contributing to the creation of a such a hated thing as Scrappy Doo. No, I didn't and no, I still don't. I am aware that there are some folks out there who, given the choice of seeing the execution of Osama bin Laden or Scrappy Doo, would opt for Scrappy and wonder why you even had to ask.
