REVIEW:
Standard-issue Scrappy-Doo antics aside, this premiere episode succeeds in reviving the spirit of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? Not only is this entertaining episode re-watchable, it’s a reminder of why the entire Mystery Inc. gang is necessary to help reduce Scrappy’s a-little-goes-a-long-way screen time. Overall, this episode is remarkably good.
