Whether it is the surprisingly nuanced characterizations of the gang, the celebrity cameos, the masterful use of nearly every horror movie trope under the sun or the nods to other great cartoons of the past, Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated hits every animation nerd’s sweet spot with a degree of cultural literacy that I never would have expected. The latest incarnation of one of the most familiar franchises in cartoon history is smart, funny and bizarrely subversive. Breaking Bad, Dexter, Doctor Who, and The Walking Dead are all quality programs, to be sure, but the one that occupies the most space on my DVR is Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated. If you ask most of my friends what their favorite television shows are, you will get a fairly predictable set of responses.
