Votes: 53,686

Amazing, just the thought of having a laboratory in your home which is the size of a small island. with Dee-Dee and Dexter's spot on relationship of brother and sister created a realistic yet unimaginable plot.

Nothing beats the originals! I do enjoy the new adaptations of Scooby doo, most notably 'Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated' The joy of trying to get the criminal before the gang managed to. But, Who didn't do that?

Thinking back on it, it is quite an 'Adult-ish' cartoon with the aim to 'get with' hot babes, did he ever get one? I loved this though, and still do. They always stop the greats.

Though the main character is undeniably the greatest single animal hero without his sidekick 'Penfold' I feel the show would have lacked its key comedy element
