This is the first made-for-TV Scooby Doo series that I've liked since the 1969-1970 shows. The voice acting of the main characters and animation is better than the other recreation attempts I've seen. The stories are good and well implemented. There are some new elements which are good if taken in small doses--the parents, Mr. E., and the intragang romance (drama). I don't like the contrived scenes with the gang's parents--the parents are all made to be "interesting" but I think they've all fallen short, except some with Velma's mother. The romance is a bit overdone, but at least isn't too hokey. I'd like to see a tiny bit of substance to the parent characters and Mr. E or I'd rather time wasn't spent on them at all. I am enjoying the series and plan to continue to watch it.
