People truly don't understand how much this show inspired almost every single Scooby Doo thing going forward. Daphne being from a wealthy family and fashion obsessed, Fred's idiocy and love of mysteries, Coolsville itself. Easily one of the best Scooby Doo ANYTHING of all time.
A pup named Scooby Doo was easily the most memorable of the Scooby shows. I usually hate the more kid friendly versions of a show(teen titans go,new powderpuff girls) but this was the complete opposite. Well made episodes and voice acting , good music and funny transitions.
@@soulrefix6503 It's a retrospect thing - at the time people liked him, at least a little, but over time got more and more annoying. But at least he's not Flim-Flam.
Almost definitely a joke. If he'd Googled for the picture w/o knowing what the dude looks like it's unlikely he'd stumble across another famous guy's pic anyway.
Spoiler alert, but in the final issue of Scooby Team Up (a panel of it was shown in this video) almost every incarnation of the gang (some exceptions) including Pup team up to solve a mystery and maybe for once a certain suspect might be behind it...
This show was a lot of fun, and I admire how "Pup" gave extra layers to Fred and Daphne's characters, which were lacking in many of the previous shows. Little Velma was especially cute here. Oh yeah, you can never forget Red Herring.

This was probably the best series to "solve along" with; most others have very few or outlandish clues (or just straight up the perp was never a suspect), but this show was surprisingly grounded and made an effort to bring viewers along with the kids. Scooby-Doo set out from the beginning with at least a minor aspect of training kids to be skeptical, but this version really embraced that aspect.
I remember loving this on CN and loving it. Up until a few years ago I never realized that they were syndicated episodes and not brand new episodes. It didn’t feel as much like an 80s cartoon
Raid got in some trouble for claiming they don't sponsor content creators. So naturally people stopped working with them. But they do obviously still sponsor people. It's now considered scummy to work with them though.
I love A Pup Named Scooby Doo. My childhood favorite show. Even though I'm not big on reboots, I'm hoping they do bring back the show. However, that's wishful thinking. R.I.P Carl Steven (1974--2011) who voiced Kid Freddy. You will be missed. 🙏💙❤💖💜
I have a theory, i think after the Headless Skateboarder mystery, that's when Shaggy wanted to try out weed when he got older and that's why he smokes weed all the time, lol
I love how everyone said that shaggy didn't smoke but come on, we all know both him and scooby are stoners. There are only two reasons like you eat a shit ton of food like that, you are high, or you are a fatass. There is clearly something in those scooby snacks
@@pastelskies99 I love how in one episode scooby was out of snacks and shaggy was just going through all the different flavors like the fuck lmfaooooooo.
When you notice that Tom Ruegger was steering the ship, with the same energy and charm he would later bring to Warner Bros when he made Animaniacs and the like.
6:39 IDK Scooby-Dum can literally ignore physics by being _so stupid_ that _he deifies them by not knowing how they work hard enough._ That seems _pretty damn_ OP to me.
Am I the only one who listened to all the cartoons and D.A.R.E. telling us not to abuse drugs all through the 90s? Also, this being a Tom Ruegger show makes sense. When I was a kid this is the only Scooby show I liked to watch, and i grew up watching Tiny Toons, Animaniacs, and Freakazoid.
I grew up watching this series on saturday morning cartoons....god i'm old...but i loved this series and it still holds up surprisingly well. the animation style is similar to what started coming out after this with tiny toons and animaniacs with the exaggerated features and just being able to do weird stuff and come back from it. i rewatched it recently and most of the episodes still hold up really well (a couple of them are just...really really weird. but red herring has to be one of the best characters ever. i wonder where he is now?
Honestly, I liked Shaggy in the first Live Action Movie. He really has to sell arguing with nothing and he does it so well!! He makes you believe he’s arguing with Scooby even though Scooby isn’t actually there on set. Anyone who says they can see through CGI because they know it’s not real can go bang their heads against a hot stove for an hour, because that’s not the point of CGI and shame on you for downplaying good acting skill!!
He was alright for the first few episodes. Then Flanderization set in and he became a nuisance. Also, I am amazed that Flanderization didn't set off Spell Check.
Definitely my favorite rendition of scooby-doo!! I remember watching this as a kid and absolutely loving it:) The original will always be on top, but a pup named scooby-doo is a close second for me:)
So in what's new scooby doo in the mini golf episode there's (if i remember correctly) a nod to a pup named scooby doo as we see kid velmas birthday where a clown traumatized her by shredding her new books
The character designs are so adorable. My best friend growing up (in the late 90s / 00s) was obsessed with Scooby Doo so we watched this show (& the others) all day long in the summer.
i had no idea this show came out in the 80's. I used to watch this show all the time in the late 90's/early 2000's and dumb kid me thought I was watching new episodes.
I'm watching the Scooby reviews in order, and I have to say: I have never been so psyched to watch a persuasive video essay about what could redeem Scrappy. On a different note, "A Pup" was such a major pop media piece for me while I was growing up in the late '90s and early '00s. Everything was past its first run date by the time I saw it, so it was all a jumbled mess of reruns not even close to chronological order, but I'm pretty sure I caught all of them eventually across the years it still cycled on air... ... All except the anti-drugs episode, apparently! Lmao. I'll bet Cartoon Network never aired it with the rest of the reruns because, as we've stubbornly learned from decades of bad anti-drug programs and PSAs, it'd be the first ever introduction to drugs, drug abuse, and drug smuggling for its 5-13 age demographic. "Hey, kids, welcome to the existence of drugs! Watch your favorite child gang and puppy become Vice investigators disrupting a hardcore drug smuggling scheme. Now don't do them. Bye!"
Anyone else not get the red herring joke as a kid? Finding out that was the characters name and now understanding the joke makes me love this show so much more.
Hot take: I feel like Be Cool, Scooby Doo season 1 is the best inheritor of the musical mantle from Pup Named Scooby Doo. The characterizations were pretty solid, too.
Be Cool is generally a pretty funny show. The character design is its biggest flaw and some of the gang's new character traits are annoying from time to time (imo) but overall a decent take on the formula that didn't overstay its welcome. Just glad Guess Who went back to more traditional designs.
@@HazbinCovenWitch I wasn't happy going into it, but honestly the first season was pretty solid Scooby Doo. Amusing self-referential elements, a fun take on the characters, and the musical chase sequences were great. The second season did some kind of overarching plot that coming right after Mystery Inc fell flat, imo, with the overall less serious tone of Be Cool. Also they lost the greatness in their musical chase sequences in season two and went with more generic music for some reason. They still had them, but if you're using generic music what's the point?
Ah yes I remember this. So when I finally entered secondary school, the classes would be in the afternoon sessions. Before we got animax, cartoon network asia, disney, nick, are the only channels that I'm interested in (AXN somehow stopped airing anime at that time). So before going to school, I would be watching this while having breakfast around 10 or 11am...
This iteration doesn't get nearly enough love. Most underrated scooby doo series. The reruns came on while I got ready for elementary school in the mornings so it has a special place in my heart for that. As a TV Kid, the television schedule was the guideline for my daily routine lol.
You know that first picture of Steven Spielberg wasn’t Steven Spielberg it was the guy who made Star Wars but the second picture is right just letting you know put the wrong guy
A Pup Named Scooby-Doo was that show I always watched when I was sick and spending the day napping in my grandparents living room. That and Baby Looney Toons.

I'm glad you enjoy APNSD, but I'm going to have to disagree; the best kidification for me was Muppet Babies.

Yeah it fleshed out there backstories,before that the gang had many aunts and uncles that showed up once then never again.
I think the chase scenes were definitely inspirations. Scooby Doo, Where are You? and The New Scooby-Doo Show didn’t really have them too often.
A pup named Scooby Doo was easily the most memorable of the Scooby shows. I usually hate the more kid friendly versions of a show(teen titans go,new powderpuff girls) but this was the complete opposite. Well made episodes and voice acting , good music and funny transitions.

When i was real little we had boomerang and that’s where i saw it smurfs was a sick show for me
Yeah... the only time i watched this was in the summer bc of this
Same
I didn’t even know this show was from the 80s I just remember it playing in the early mornings when I was a kid.

Can we talk about how Red Herring, this child, this BOY, has a tattoo on his arm??
your telling me u didnt?!?!?!
Ya I had a sleeve on both arms
That. Literally never occurred to me until literally right this moment
I had a one of those temporary tattoos of spiderman back when I was a kid

It's a shame that Red Herring never appeared in any other Scooby-Doo series.
I know right? If they ever make a Riverdale-esque gritty reboot of SD I want an insufferable love triangle between Red, Fred, and Daphne!

This iteration doesn't get nearly enough love. Most underrated scooby doo series. The reruns came on while I got ready for elementary school in the mornings so it has a special place in my heart for that. As a TV Kid, the television schedule was the guideline for my daily routine lol.
You know that first picture of Steven Spielberg wasn’t Steven Spielberg it was the guy who made Star Wars but the second picture is right just letting you know put the wrong guy
I think that was meant as a joke, bud.
It was a joke :)
The joke
Your head
I like the rock music romps in “What’s New Scooby-Doo?”
I’ve been waiting for more scoob!
I watched it. The best part is the theme song.
funny we didn't have a grown up version of Red Herring in later incarnations of scooby doo
A grown up Red Herring is still not a thing yet? Kinda surprising with this show being pretty well liked from with what I’ve seen.
This was my jammy jam!
Fred was a menace 😂
Wednesday nights 23 years ago were to watch A Pup named Scooby Doo and Tom and Jerry Kids
Sunday mornings 15 years ago was when I watched this show.
A Pup Named Scooby-Doo was that show I always watched when I was sick and spending the day napping in my grandparents living room. That and Baby Looney Toons.
