It's October, and I'm surrounded by cheesy decorations, pop-up Halloween stores, and immodest interpretations in costume form of some of my favorite childhood characters. Slutty Big Bird? Half-naked Ninja Turtles? Is nothing sacred?
Luckily, it's pretty hard to screw up the costumes for my all-time favorite cartoon characters, Scooby-Doo and his friends Shaggy, Fred, Daphne, and Velma. It got me thinking: Is it equally difficult to screw up the Scooby franchise and my fond memories of Scoob and the gang? I decided to find out by rewatching some of my favorites — the old stuff — and watching for the first time some of the new Scooby material. Can these retain the spark and fun of the originals? Do the old ones hold up? Will I lose my mind and drive my husband crazy as I load up our DVR with shows he will never watch?
As Fred might say, I think we have a mystery on our hands!
