I'm one of those strange people who don't care for any of Hanna-Barbara's old cartoons. I think that most (if not all) of them were poorly drawn and poorly written. Is there something wrong with me, .

I love scooby..but not what he's become. He's become to popular...his ego is too big..

I mean..wasn't regular animation good enough for you scoob? did you have to go CG?

ok, I'm done..

I never really liked Scooby, well as a kid I did, but after rewatching a couple times, I saw that it has terible writing & animation. A very over-rated cartoon that prospers only through the evils of nostalgia.

i'd love torturing that mutt, but he's so high on "scooby snacks" that his brain doesn't understand the concept of pain.

I hate scooby. I liked the movies, {except aliens} but on the shows the animation is very bad. I mean, except in "13 ghosts" the movies and the one with shaggy, scooby, and scrappy, there weren't any REAL monsters, so why didn't they just gang up on him and beat him up? i guess you can never tell if it's someone willing to commit murder. I would like to see a movie that has the whole normal cast plus scrappy and scooby's couson. case in point: there are to many scooby shows as it is.

I used to watch Scooby all the time as a kid. However, now I can barely sit through an episode. It's just too painful to watch. The poor animation, the crappy voice acting, etc etc.

Despite all that, I would still rate Scooby above the Jetsons and the Flintstones. I'm not sure exactly why...but I never liked the Jetsons. As for the Flintstones, I quickly realized that practically ever episode followed the same out line:

1. Fred screws up.
2. Wilma (and possibly others) get mad at Fred.
3. Fred fixes the problem and everyone is happy.

As for the rest of the Hanna-Barbara cartoons - I haven't really seen much of them. However, I was never a really big fan.

P.S. I suppose it could be noted that I'm sure many of my favorite cartoons as a child would seem corny now. He-Man, Transformers, G.I. Joe, etc. I don't think they'd seem as bad as Scooby...but I'd probably still watch them and think, "I used to watch these?"

I'm really sick of it! When I was younger, I used to watch it but I never really got into it. It was just a show that came on TV and if there was nothing else on I'd watch it. Now I just can't stand to see it anymore, especially during the day when CN plays "Scooby Movies." They're almost an hour long....

You're not strange at all,Karkull-as a matter of fact,I agree with you ! Hanna-Barbara,IMO,made the worst cartoons! The characters were stiff,and they were always walking past the same thing!


Oh,and yes ,I'm really tired of Scooby-Doo. It seems likes the only thing CN shows (that and DBZ. )

I use to watch it OCCASIONALLY. Just as a way to kill time.

Yet....it sucks now. It's become a merchandise empire, yet a CRAPPY one. And it doesn't even have any new eppys untill NOW apparently!

I hated it because it took precendence over everything else on C-Network. It always shoved other shows aside.

All the reasons others said (cruddy animation, voices) also count too. But...that's all I have to say. Before I burn an effigy of Scoob.

Hanna-Barbara's work at MGM (Tom and Jerry) was much better then the other stuff.

I'll watch the new Scooby show if Scooby dies in the end. Anime style that is.

Wait a sec... is that why they always had the munchies? Geez, I've been so naive!

Frankly, I think that Velma was the only one worth watching in Scooby:TOS (TOS? ) You always gotta watch out for the kid in the thick glasses. They're the ones that go mental on you quickest...

And anybody else getting a whiff of Rugratesque diadie-filler from this one?

reasons to dislike the first few series (i.e. S.D., Where are You?; S.D. Movies)
1.) Bad Writing
2.) Bad Animation
3.) Cheesy Villains
4.) Horrible teenage stereotypes
