YMMV / The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries

• Crowning Moment of Awesome: Scrappy really blows it out of the water at the end of the Hand of Horror, sniffing out the phony twin, boldly snatching the remote out of Ratfield’s hand and figuring out how to remotely control the hands in sync. The cheer Shaggy, Scooby, and Daphne give him as well as the twins is the icing on top.
• Fridge Brilliance: Tiny Tina was actually being pretty smart when calling Winslowe Nickleby's offer of five thousand to buy out the children's home "chicken feed". While most kids would fixate on the "thousand" in the word, it actually is a pretty bad deal, a large part because five thousand wouldn't be nearly enough to get a new home for the orphans-so even with the paltry five grande, Nickleby was still, essentially, stranding them.
• Fridge Horror: At the end of "Scooby's Peep-Hole Pandemonium", when Norma Deathman is revealed to be a 300 year old vampire, Scooby and the Gang run off in terror. But they leave behind Orson Kane, who was the antagonist of that episode. What did Norma and her group of monsters do to him when they left?!
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • The premiere episode "Happy Birthday, Scooby-Doo" shows a flashback of Scooby and Shaggy trying to avoid a babysitter resembling the Bride of Frankenstein when they were infants. The later series A Pup Named Scooby-Doo would have the episode "The Babysitter from Beyond" involve Scooby and the gang become suspicious of leaving Shaggy's baby sister with another babysitter that looked like the Bride of Frankenstein.
    • In the same episode, the villain is called the Red Skull and is wearing an outfit similar to that worn by Marvel's Red Skull in Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame decades later.
  • This series' Igor is Dracula's minion decades before Van Helsing, and in an episode which actually features an incarnation of Van Helsing.
  • "A Halloween Hassle at Dracula's Castle" saw Shaggy attend a costume party as a werewolf. Scooby-Doo! and the Reluctant Werewolf aired four years later.
  • In "Night of the Living Toys", a woman finds Scrappy cute and tries to put ribbons on him, and which he dislikes immensely. Later when she turns out to be the woman behind the mask, he states that he didn't trust her as soon as she tried to put ribbons on him. In the 2002 live action film, Scrappy is the one who thinks of himself as cute, and he is the villain of this movie.
  • "A Scary Duel with a Cartoon Ghoul" features a security guard named Ralph voiced by Frank Welker. Years later, Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs would feature a security guard also named Ralph with the same voice actor. Also, coincidentally, Tom Ruegger worked on all three shows.
• Suspiciously Similar Song: The theme song is a pastiche of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" complete with brief scenes of various monsters dancing to the iconic thriller dance.
