What's New Scooby-Doo?: Season 1

Mystery, suspense, and crazy chases abound as Fred, Velma, Daphne, Shaggy, and Scooby-Do renew their commitment to solving mysteries in this 2002 sequel to the original 1969 Scooby-Doo television series.

Marking a return to the mystery gang's initial five members after several seasons that included additional characters like Scooby-Dum and Scrappy, the What's New, Scooby-Doo series plays much like the original series despite being animated by Warner Brothers Television Animation rather than Hanna-Barbera.

Fred, Velma, Daphne, Shaggy, and Scooby-Do show some signs of maturation and growth since their inception, but the mystery gang is essentially still the same quirky, tight-knit group that stumbles inadvertently into one mystery after another and plunges in to investigate and unmask the villain(s) behind each strange happening.

What's new in this 2002 series is the gang's utilization of high-tech gadgets like global positioning devices and laptop computers (though they still drive the same old mystery van) and their foes' crafty use of technological innovations like wireless remote controls and virtual reality gear.
