6/10
On the fence

Warning: Spoilers
I'm still deciding how much I like this (or not). I've watched all the episodes to date. Actually I'm currently watching an hour of it on Sunday afternoon.

Not awful by any means. Not fantastic either. I gave it a 6 of 10 for now.

I do like that we get to see more background on this gang. I almost forgot that they had parents. Duh.

So far, Episode 3: Secret of the Ghost Rig is my favorite. It's got a Stephen King sorta vibe to it. Overall, the series reminds me of Tim Burton.

I'll keep watching.

Well,it's now October.

Things I like about the series after an almost-full season: 1) Shaggy 2) Scooby

Thing I DON'T like about the series after an almost-full season: 1) Daphne being WAY too love-struck with practically NO good dialog. 2) Fred being an imbacile, obsessed not with traps but his own stupidity. 3) Velma being rude and crude to Shaggy and Scooby. *I* would take Scooby as best bud too. 4) No mystery about the real baddie. Easy to figure out by 'half-time'.

I've downgraded by rating from 6 to 3 because I feel generous today.

I like the plot line about the early "Mystery Inc." gang but the series needs to move that alone. I can handle Mr E. and the mystery surrounding him. It's the ONE thing this show does very well ('cept for Shaggy coughing up bits of paper in his candy).
