Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! Season 1, Part 1

Marking the 12th show to feature cartoon scaredy cat Great Dane Scooby-Doo, this Cartoon Network-aired series is set during the summer after the gang finishes high school. Compiling 12 episodes from the 2015 first season, opener “Mystery 101” focuses on brainy Mystery Inc. member Velma's (newly voiced by Kate Micucci) quest to enroll at the prestigious Kingston University. Scoob (Frank Welker), Shaggy (Matthew Lillard), Fred (also Welker), and Daphne (Grey Griffin)—who's on a zany puppet kick—are all on hand to help crack the case when the ghost of the college founder keeps scaring away potential students. “Be Quiet, Scooby-Doo” takes place during a colorful underground Crystal Canopy cave tour, as a strange “Crystal Crawler” monster makes mayhem with scientific researchers; and “Party Like It's 1899” centers on a costumed mystery party at Wuthering Manor, where a headless apparition comes to life during a sleuthing game. Also including “Screama Donna,” “Kitchen Frightmare” (Scooby and Shaggy's food mentor's Cheese Volcano eatery is threatened by a Yeti snow monster), “Me, Myself, and A.I.,” and more, this snappy update—with silly asides that will appeal to adults as well as young people—is recommended.
