you have odd couples all the time barney. you see that in a-list people marrying regular joes. so its not unheard off for someone like Daphne finding something really appealing in shaggy. might be his humor, for instance.

Back on topic. I still think this show was terrible. Just because of how unScoobylike it was. I heard someone that the guy who created this version HATED Scooby-Doo and created Get a Clue to ruin the franchise for everybody else. Is that true?

+ barneynedward Whether Shaphne was canon or not is up for the viewer to decide. I find Shelma and Fraphne to be unrealistic. I really hate the majority's opinions. Honestly I do not like the idea of Shaggy being bullied. Yeah he may have few friends but it doesn't mean he should get bullied.

I hardly doubt that's the case, probably just a conspiracy theory by people who hate the show. It is possible that the creator didn't like Scooby so wanted to completely change the formula, but I think it's silly to think any creator of a show would risk destroying their own career in the hopes people would suddenly hate a beloved franchise.

I think he got TNSDMysteries mixed up with the shorts featuring just Scooby, Scrappy and Shaggy. TNSDMysteries was 11 or sometimes 22 minutes. As for Get A Clue I haven't seen it and I don't plan to seeing I despite the modern series. Shaphne was never meant to be canon. They only brought Daphne back as eye candy for preteen and teenage male viewers (because back then Velma wasn't deemed attractive enough) not as a love interest for Shaggy. Shaphne is unrealistic anyway. Why would a rich spoiled popular girl like her go for some weird guy she could lose popularity points just being seen with? Daphne belongs to the in-crowd, the cliques. Shaggy is that weird kid that even the mentally challenged kids pick on. Daphne was brought back to increase female viewership not male, apparently girls were surveyed and preferred her to Velma. While they weren't technically love interests they did sleep and live together... Shaggy is supposed to be rich as well, not quite as rich as Daphne but he's always been shown living in quite a large house. Daphne and Shaggy grew up together, they both went to the same high school Central High or something. I think it's hard to say Shaggy's ugly, he's just lanky and has a goatee some girls like that stuff. Plus never overlook the power of eyes and Shaggys are blue green. And going past looks Daphne and Shaggy have similar personalities, which why I think it's better than her and Fred.

It's worth noting that this is probably the only Scooby-Doo series that Cartoon Network and Boomerang have outright REFUSED to rerun, at least in the United States. And for good reason, too. Warner Bros. now mostly considers this series an "old shame," very much like its' sister show "Loonatics Unleashed."

How can you hate Looney Tunes and want to completely change them? They've remained popular for over 80 years for a reason.

Scooby, however, never had powers and thus didnt work.

I watched the beginning of one episode. I was like, one and done. Hated it from the start. Plus Daphne hardly appeared in the series, but either way, the art was horrible. I've seen far better art from preschoolers, in my opinion., At least the 2010s "Mystery Incorporated" series was a bit of an improvement, as well as the DVD movies.
But words cannot express how much I despise "Be Cool". The art is so laughable, it isn't even funny. It's arguable whether I hate "Get a Clue" or "Be Cool" more.
Makes sense as to why this series got a lot of hate mail - which explains it's short run of 19 episodes.

GaC tried something new but in the end it didn't work out. Because the story was so unlike anything Scooby Doo it should have been it's own thing honestly. Most notably bad features of it are the intro and Shaggy's voice. Scott Menville is a cool guy, he played pretty well in Mission Hill and Teen Titans but just isn't quite Shaggy. The introduction on the other hand is bad due to the lack of activity. It ends up just looking like a screen saver; and the song isn't great either.

I heard someone that the guy who created this version HATED Scooby-Doo and created Get a Clue to ruin the franchise for everybody else. Is that true? I've spoken to him and this not even remotely true. Warner Bros. was displeased with What's New Scooby-Doo because it was too similar to the original shows and a lot of people apparently didn't know it existed (I find this sketchy but that's Corporate Logic for ya!) Ray DeLaurentis was brought in and told to develop something that was completely different from any other Scooby project. If you want to know why the show was so different, blame WB not DeLaurentis. And given the circumstances he created the show under, I think he did a pretty good at creating a show that was funny, imaginative, and could stand up well on its own. The project was a bad idea that was never going to find a wide audience but if you actually watch it, there's a lot great comedy. Comedically speaking, it's probably one of the top 3 Scooby shows.

I haven't seen the show itself, but I do like the theme song and think it's catchy.

the theme sing is easily the worst ' sung' scooby theme song. grating loud and annoying, and thats its good points.

Having only seen a few episode of this series I can appreciated for trying to change the formula and doing something new with the characters, but I think this show is a great example of why Scooby Doo should stick with paranormal and mystery-solving. The animation was just terrible and the theme song to me was such a letdown from What's New. I will admit I loved that Shaggy had some character development, though It seems like most of the his development from this show is just gone now. Also the lack of any supernatural monster or mystery really kills it for me.
Personally, this is my least favorite series and I don't think anything they make from here on out will ever be as bad.

A weird quirk of Get a Clue is that they had to completely change Shaggy's character in order to make the plot remotely work. That's a big reason why Shaggy & Scooby spinoffs are always a bad idea. The two fundamentally don't want to be involved in conflict and are too incompetent get themselves out of said conflict anyway.
