Being a fan of the franchise since I can remember sand it being the longest running Hanna Barbara cartoon, and not liking the two live action films already done I was sure I wasn't going to like The Mystery Begins AND I couldn't get into it. It seems to totally ignore the canon that was created linking What's New Scooby Doo to A Pup Named Scooby Doo, in which they were obviously a lot younger than high schoolers when they met. I sound like a total nerd but CN should be shot.
