mystery inc was everything riverdale wants to be

Imagine someone who's never watched the series seeing this video and finding out there's a character named Hotdog Water

broo this series is SOOO slept on and underrated. some people are like "you watch kids shows?? pfft" scooby doo mystery inc has such a good plotline and character development, to the point its not repitive or boring ive watched each episode around 20 times

Tbh I was very disappointed by the fact that Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated never got a third season

Fred: *has a hard time showing his emotions to Daphne and is completely clueless* we're just friends! Daphne: *Goes with another guy* Fred: WHAT ARE YOU DOING-

Mystery Inc was the best. -Good intrigue -Unique animation -Funny lines -Interesting plot -Deeper character -Well done voice acting It's just good.

“Most unlikeable iteration of Velma,” I sure wish it stayed that way.

The ironic thing is that the Mayor was a better parent to Fred than his actual parents

It’s so weird to realize that the Freak of Crystal Cove was the best parent in this show in the long run.

I really don't get why people dislike the more serious take on scooby doo. One of the reasons I loved zombie island was that it was dark yet still felt like a scooby doo movie. Same with mystery incorporated.

i'm surprised nobody is talking about the music in this show. I found all of the instrumentals to be amazing and really helped sell the mystery aspect and creepy vibes. Also Mr. E's keyboard guitar song is awesome.

The fact the entire Hannah Barbera cartoon cast makes an appearance for one episode, makes this show unforgettable.

I cant believe you called him Fred's Dad and not Mayor Dad

I actually really liked Velma in this; she has her problematic traits like trying to “fix” Shaggy, but I think that’s part of just being a complex character - people DO have flaws, and make mistakes. She’s a teen who’s still trying to understand her emotions, and she grows as a person and becomes kinder as the series goes on.

Over the years, Daphne Blake became better at protecting herself and developed combat skills to fight the bad guys. Sometimes she acted as the group's main muscle. Even so, Daphne Blake stayed true to her heart. She still loved fashion, romance and traditionally feminine pursuits. With Hollywood revamping many popular female characters, Daphne Blake becomes a dynamic character without losing what made her beloved in the first place.

Damn this show deserved more seasons

I loved Velma’s development in this show. She went from kind of an asshole who had an ego far too big, became a humble, loyal friend who accepted that it was okay to ask for help.

Hotdog water and kassidy Williams' deaths were really sad. These two just wanted to help the gang and died doing it.

Casey Kasem passes the torch of being the voice of Shaggy Rogers to Matthew Lillard while playing as Colton Rogers became heartwarming when his final lines in Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated where telling Shaggy Rogers how proud he is of him before he would pass away shortly after in real life.

This is my absolute favorite Scooby-Doo incarnation. Honestly, it’s one of my favorite shows in general. It’s just so well-done, and it did the all the things I really wanted to see in the other series: gave the show a serial format with an ongoing story arc, actually gave the gang backstories, fleshed out everyone’s characters, and took a more tongue-in-cheek approach to the humor. I love how self-aware and intelligent the series is. They didn’t try to appeal just to children. And I might be in the minority here, but I even love the art style. It pays homage to the original animation, while also putting its own fresh, somewhat edgy spin on it. I really can’t say enough good things about this series. It’s a love letter to all the lifelong Scooby-Doo fans, like myself and countless others.

Honestly I don’t know how he didn’t spend the entire episode talking about Sheriff Stone

Professor Pericles, hands down, best villain on record as his schemes nearly destroyed the universe itself!

I LOOOOVE Velma in Mystery inc. She is just so diffrent from all the other characters. She is my fav for sure

"This version of Velma is the most umpleasant she has ever been" 2023 Velma - hold my beer

I’ll never forget “The Freak of Crystal Cove.” That villain gave me nightmares forever

While Mystery Incorporated is great, let the record show that the theme song for What's New, Scooby Doo? totally slaps

One of the biggest revelations in the series even suggested that the group was part of a much older tradition than they realized. In fact, there was a previous Mystery Incorporated team, who quietly showcased the worst-case fate for Scooby-Doo, Shaggy Rogers, Fred Jones, Daphne Blake and Velma Dinkley if they grew apart and became the same kind of people the gang usually tries to bring down.

Man, rewatching Mystery Inc when I got older really opened to my eyes to so many things I missed when it was on air. The overarching plot is brilliant, the characters have depth and grow immensely throughout the series, the “mature” themes are accurate to real life, and the music and animation is sublime.

mystery incorporated is the best series because right from the first episode, it starts off a bigger mystery than the normal monsters. the locket is what hooks everyone because people want to know who they are and who mr. e is

Hey just a heads up, it’s on Netflix again Edit: It may just be in the US.

0:01 intro 2:04 #1 overarching story 3:59 #2 Character growth 8:37 #3 realistic family lives 10:47 #4 adult situations 14:57 #5 story continuity 17:44 #6 references to earlier series 19:45 #7 stellar voice cast 21:40 #8 pop culture references 24:29 #9 guest roles

This was a love letter to the fans. Best show on Cartoon network ever made

you don't need 9 reasons for this, the one and only reason that Mystery Incorporated is the best is just the Sheriff

I think the romantic interest with shaggy towards Daphne was actually caused by the hallucinogenic firewood. Not really a connection.

Mystery Incorporated brought long-form storytelling to the Scooby-Doo franchise and added a grand conspiracy to the team, as well as delving into Mystery Incorporated history. The series was a combination of old and new, with an updated animation style, high-tech mysteries and old-fashioned monsters.

Fun fact: crystal cove is a REAL place! It was founded by Spanish “conquistadors” which may have been a part of the inspiration, and the planispheric disc was probably real too, used as a way to chart locations. Also side note, who else loves that throughout the whole series from start to finish had crystal doorknobs on every door?

i NEVER rewatch shows but scooby-doo mystery incorporated is a show that i can watch a trillion times without it getting boring

I just realized that when Ellison tells Mystery Inc that the timeline has been reset before, it was a reference to the other Scooby-Doo series occurring in other timelines.

The animation quality was vastly improved, giving the show a unique feel all its own. The biggest achievement is how Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated focused on overarching stories rather than just episodic plots.

Had to do a mind cleanse after Velma.

When hotdog water was shot i was shocked to hear that they actually killed her in such way... I thought that was the first death and i was so shock as a kid

4:55 Actually, the original voice actor for shaggy was a vegetarian, and every version of him has been ever since the original show. In fact, in most versions, scooby eats any meat on shaggy's plate, so he is never seen eating meat even when he picked it up like in the witch's ghost.

I'm 14 now but this show is still the best one I've ever seen. Quite an interesting analysis! I didn't realize so many people shared my obsession

One thing I like about this series is the monsters ( despite them still just being humans in costumes ) but they make them so real like. Each monster has there own ability, and because of this it’s a lot harder to figure out who is behind the mask. And there designs are just so fricking awesome.

Professor Pericles isn't an owl, he's a parrot.

DID YOU JUST CALL PROFESSOR PERICLES AN OWL? HE IS A *PARROT*

The hex girls episode is my number one reason, it was too iconic

One thing I have come to appreciate lately about mystery incorporated is that it actually scared the f**k outta me. I was shaking almost every episode. Perfection.

Ok spoiler alert When scooby's girlfriend died and then came back to say Niberu is coming. I freaked out because the dog was dead

No one gonna comment how he said Pericles was an owl?

This was litteraly one of the best shows ever made, i rewatched it during Covid Doesn’t feel kiddish, so entertaining Love this show so much

It's funny how our favorite cartoon characters never age. When I was a little kid, mystery inc always made me look forward to my teenage years, now I'm 18 going on 19 thinking damn, even when I'm in my 20s 30s 40s etc... Mystery Inc will forever be in their late teens. The group I once looked up to, I will soon be looking down upon, and damn it do i envy their eternal youth lol

Rest in peace Casey kasem (shaggy) 1932-2014

Watching this series, I was actually reminded a lot of Gravity Falls: . A group of juveniles who regularly solve mysteries/hunt monsters . A big mystery element . Mature themes . Good animation . Humor that appeals to adults/fourth wall breaking . The ending of the show is the literal apocolypse

One of the most recognizable roles for Matthew Lillard is Shaggy Rogers from Scooby-Doo, as he has portrayed the live action version and contributed his voice to the animated franchise.

6:37 you might want to reconsider that one fam

Actually I just loved Velma there She was an antipathic character being really fun to watch as she was often pretty funny in her attitude. They finally gave her a personality here and actually she seems really human. Also, she had great character development

Best incarnation of the show by far.

I love shows with mature themes and i think this is why this show is one of my favorites alongside Regular Show and Gravity Falls. Definitely need to rewatch it

Its so weird seeing everyones reaction to to Mystery Incorporated in this day and age. I remember back in 2013 when it aired its first season, I loved it but there were a lot (not all) of people that didnt like it since it didnt focus on the mystery of the monsters as their previous titles did, especially the plotline, and people did not like the characterization of Velma, since she was more sassy in this version. I am so glad its gotten its recognition and is well loved, I really thought I was the only one.

Damn this shlt was soooo much darker than I remembered!

Wasn't Shaggy a vegetarian because the voice actor was a vegetarian and he asked for Shaggy to be one too?

The fact that many Scooby-Doo 'fans' hate this series really baffles me...

My favorite characters in Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated are 1. Sheriff (He's the guy who makes me laugh, whenever the Scooby-Doo gang keep saving the Crystal Cove town, plus he's also serious at times) 2. Shaggy (He's always had character development and I've always loved him, he's just the type of guy I could see myself hanging out with 'cause he's so chill and relaxed. Despite him always being so scared and frightened all the time)

we noticed that daphne’s mom says “I’m scared of the dark,” but then she legit went through the night to her evening classes, like what?

Marcie (AKA Hotdog Water) was one of my favorite characters, I loved how she was just a bullied background character to a supporting character at the end. I loved her, and when she was gunned down I was legit heartbroken.

Another thing that sets Mystery Incorporated apart from the previous Scooby-Doo series is its more serious tone. The show explores some darker concepts and even some relationship drama between the characters. These elements set Mystery Incorporated apart from the rest and are why it is so fondly remembered by the fans.

The most underrated series of Scooby Doo. The whole show had a wow factor to it. I wish there could be more series like this for future Scooby Doo.

Thankfully, the Horrible Herd was crossed with the DNA of the freshwater piranha fish, so even though they escaped, they wouldn't have gone very far in the saltwater ocean.

I’m sad that they didn’t continue the series

I agree, never failed to make me wonder “how the hell did they pull that off?” Every time I saw a new “monster”.

Scooby Doo MI is a text book series of how to blend episodic show with overarching plot without actually destroying one or the other. The gang still do their own thing but at the same time they are solving something even bigger than a dude under a mask.

I like Scooby doo: Mystery Incorporated because they added some humor and they made it so that the gang is interest in what the treasure is, instead of having to worry about people in masks

You wanna know the only reason you need to cite ever? *PROFESSOR PERICLES IS THE BEST GODDAMNED SCOOBY-DOO VILLAIN TO EXIST*

I've watched Scooby-Doo since the early '70s and I loved this series.

This is incredible! I agree with everything about this, the story was allinged perefctly about them solving mysteries to solve bigger ones such as the planespheric disc (later on in the series at least). The flow is incredible and the consistency of the main charecters and co - charecters works. a lot of the previous scooby doo series dont stay in a certain place and always move around, but this series just sticks in one place (mainly). It links back to other old charecters, which makes it way easier to understand and gives it plost twst and various turns which makes it so much more intresting to watch. Also, I always felt like they made the charecters less stereotypical and give them more growth on love life and cause drama between them, and it makes them see more realistic and relateable. Another thing, is the antagonists work in such complex and extremely intresting way, pericles starts off as less of a threat and builds on to his evil charecteristics, who tries to get the planaspheric disc for his own powerful reasons. Mr E is (in a way) an accomplice to pericles who wants to have power for various (and unknow reasons). Brad Chiles and Judy Reeves are also villans in this series working with the previous mystery incorporated gang (not Angel Dynatmite (Cassidy Williams)). Another anagonist is Mayor Jones who also wanted to find the disc and attempted to get it by trying to push away Brad and Judy but reliased he had to take care of Fred, BIG L BOZO. Aswell on that he had to hide the he wasnt the real "father" and from the start was pretty harsh on Fred. All the parents (or guardians (for Freds sake)) were not a big fan of their children solving mysteries and disliked it as shown from Shaggy's parents who sent him to the army and Scooby to a farm for some sort of punishment. Fred, Velma and Daphne's parents were less harsh by not giving them a punishment (not a visible one at least) but did split the gang apart for a period of time. During the period of time when they were not talking, Daphne some how gained feelings for Baylor Hotner, crushing Fred or in a way distracting him completley (which shows that he likes Daphne but is romantic in a different way). This tears apart the gang which shows the struggles and hardships about the gang. Another thing is the deaths are pretty brutal, although not shown on camera (for obvious reasons) these deaths make me feel somewhat emotion, especially for Angel, and it way pretty unfair as she was trying to help the gang and at some points was hated from both the mystery incorporated and the previous mystery inc gang. There is one thing that i do love though, Sherrif Stone, I personally think he is one of the funniest and sarcastic charecters and didn't get much recognition. He is so stupid that its practically funny, although he does believe in Mayor Jones and thinks that he is right and was extremely shocked about him being the freak of crystal cove. I do partcially like nora (the dog form Brad and Judy) I think that the "crush" or the love situation between them or mainly on scooby's side. Also the new mayor after Fred's dad (I forgot her name) I particuarly liked for being one of the only adults supporting the mystery solving. This series is incredible and i still watch it, THERE IS NOTHING BETTER! Absolutely incredible! Tell me if there was anything I missed and this was my overview on the series and the video (this is so good btw!) Thanks for reading

FYI to anyone who wants to watch the show, the show is back on netflix.

Honestly, this was the best rendition of Scooby-Doo I've seen to date. It took the characters we've known and loved for years and gave them such depth. It also did such a good job at giving us new characters to love; Angel Dynamite. It did a great job at being fresh, current and self-aware. Noticeable even in side characters, updating the hex girls and then bringing them back in season 2 in their original outfits at the request of their fans (both within the realm of the show as well as real life Scooby fans). This show just got so many things right and fearlessly dared to try new things. I'm dying to see this world again, or at least an equally as dark and character-driven story for the scooby franchise.

My little sister use to watch this shown in the morning before I drove her to school I actually found it pretty entertaining and I haven’t watched a cartoon in years, good show.

I love how detailed this series is. One thing I was thinking about recently was how nice the high school that the gang goes to is. I realized that they probably go to a private school, and then I noticed that every member of the gang seems to be well off. The exception to this rule is Velma, who would be smart enough to get a scholarship. I just love this small detail that makes so much sense.

Casey Kasem passed the Shaggy torch to Matthew Lillard by playing father and son!

My sister and I really loved this Scooby-Doo series! I remember when the show first aired I would not miss a single episode. I also never put two and two together, the alias name: Mr. E sounds like 'mystery'

Honestly, I really hope they do another dark themed Scooby-doo series, SDMI was really enjoyable and will sadly never make a return which I think is good because it ended brilliantly. We should get SD fans to sign a petion for another dark themed Scooby-doo series

"This version of Velma is the worst" 2023 Velma: allow me to introduce myself

Honestly, Mystery inc rlly was the best Scooby reboot.

OH, BY THE WAY. MYSTERY INCORPORATED IS BACK ON NETFLIX. YOU’RE WELCOME!

The Mystery Incorporated demonstrate good problem-solving and teamwork skills, and they are as devoted to solving their own problems as they are to solving mysteries.

I'm surprised no mention was made in the pop culture section of all the horror movie references in the series. As a Scooby fan and a horror fan it was so cool. There are nods to HP Lovecraft and Kaiju films (as discussed), but also The Shining, Hellraiser, Silence of the Lambs, there's a saw homage episode, Labyrinth (sort of a kids horror movie), alien invasion films, Horror Hosts, Phantom of the Opera - and this is just a short list. If you're a horror fan, definitely worth a watch through. Also it's on Netflix now!

The end was crazy never saw it coming. I loved how realistic and still a fantasy the show was. Gave me so many chills but I was so excited I wish there were more shows like this one. Hopefully they can make another one like this.

I really want another show similar to this series in the way of the animation and the dark story along with actually getting connected to the developing characters,I hope more people start making videos about mystery Inc and popularize it so we can get something like this,I remember being so excited for every new episode to come on Netflix,such a great series

I love this show to death and when he said '52 Episodes' I was shocked... I really need to re-watch it ^^'' It felt so much longer watching it the last time

One thing about this show that I found was good and fleshed out, the villain and monster designs are actually really intimidating and scary

Sadly I haven't met anyone who knows this show but every time someone mentions Scooby-Doo I always mention this series because this is the best series

I think this series was the best personally because it had a interesting storyline and ever time there is a cliffhanger related to mystery of crystal cove I really wanna know more making me watch the next episode.

I don’t even need to watch the video to know that this show slapped

I remember being at my grandparents house waking up in the morning struggeling to figure out the remote just to watch this series

Can I just say Velma was my favorite character in this series. She was so sarcastic and like sassy but also nerdy. I really liked her character and development. Also my favorite side character is a three way tie between mayor nettles Cassidy Williams and hot dog water. I like all three of them about equally.

Definitely one of my favorite animated series ever. I'd even rank it above Gravity Falls in my list.

Man, I miss this series so much.... I wish the planned third season didn't get canceled!

This was one of my favorite Scooby Doo shows. It was one of the more interesting takes on the characters and their personalities. It got me hooked on the first episode. I would want another show, something similar to Mystery Incorporated, but like you said, it probably wouldn’t match what the previous show had established
