Recently (with the whole Velma thing) I rewatched the old shows (where are you?, the scooby doo show, what's new scooby doo and so on) and damn those were great.
Everyone had a defined set of skills (which became a bit more defined with each iteration, though Daphnee got a major upgrade with one of them), the mysteries were well done and they kept their focus on the mystery solving.
Then came in one of the modern ones adding relationship bullshit with velma trying to bang shaggy, the characters were dumb as hell and more focussed on having relationship meltdowns than solving any mystery and I just dropped that shit.
No wonder Velma was such a train wreck after that one. The slope is truly slippery.
I miss the competent skillful characters with each having their own skill set that they used to great effect.
