Shaggy and Scooby Doo, the Lovable Coward/Big Eater duo from the Scooby-Doo franchise, branch out in their own show, where Shaggy inherits millions of dollars and a mansion from his missing Uncle Albert, an inventor. However, Uncle Albert's inventions are being pursued by the sinister Dr. Phineas Phibes and his henchmen. Fortunately, Shaggy and Scooby can thwart their evil plans thanks to special Scooby Snacks that give Scooby-Doo temporary superpowers... Wait, where are you going? Come back, we weren't finished yet! The villain pilots a submarine laboratory!

All kidding aside, the show isn't bad as most people make it out to be. It still carries the spirit of its predecessors to at least some extent, has an interesting ongoing plot and for once gives Shaggy and Scooby the spotlight without having to add another main character to the mix. Phibes also is quite an entertaining villain to watch as well which helps plenty with the show's humor.

For better or worse, it was a worthy attempt at trying something new with the mythos. In fact it was actually one of Kids' WB!'s better shows. Unlike Da Boom Crew and Coconut Fred, it didn't get cancelled because of poor reception but rather because CW shut down the Kids WB block after 4Kids bought it.
