I am loving this show. This has been one of the best spins on the Scooby legacy. Shaggy's uncle Albert Shaggleford has gone missing, which enacts a clause in his will, leaving his estate to Shaggy. His uncle happens to be a rich technological genius, and even developed super scooby snacks, granting whoever eats them special powers for a limited amount of time.
There is a robot butler, Robi, who can never pronounce Scooby's name right, instead always saying “Roorby-Roo.”

It's not the traditional Scooby Doo style of animation, but it didn't revert to the excited look of A Pup Named Scooby Doo. It manages to find a middle ground and comes off nicely, reminding me of Mission Hill type of look.
Albert Shaggleford also left behind a sworn enemy, a mad scientist by the name of Dr. Phinius Phibes. From his army of spies come two imparticular that are your standard bumbling buddy pair, and they are funny together.
The Mystery Machine has been upgraded to a sort of Gadgetmobile, transforming into whatever vehicle necessary.
After the two live action films and the endless bombardment of straight to dvd movies, it’s nice to have something that’s taking this franchise somewhere else while staying true to the roots of solving mysteries, only this show happens to be about one giant mystery, the dissapearence of Shaggy’s uncle.
