The Scooby Doo franchise has long been a fan-favorite due to its ability to balance horror elements, interesting characters and engaging mysteries of the week. The show also hit that coveted sweet spot where it was enjoyable to both adults and kids. Scooby-Doo adopted weekly format that saw its main cast members, also known as the Mystery Incorporated gang, solve “paranormal” cases. Unsurprisingly, the meddling kids will often pull back the layers that construct the puzzles at the heart of the episode to the delight of fans. In our era of reboots and remakes, it is only a matter of time before a new version of the crime solving gang graces our screen. As such, now, more than ever, is the best time to get re-familiar with the members of Mystery Incorporated from Scooby Doo.
