The Halloween season is upon us once again, and this time around, we've stumbled into a big pile of doo—Scooby-Doo, that is! Five years after we first explored the Doo-niverse, we're back to cover the smart, self-aware late '80s reboot that fully exploited—and poked fun at—the accumulated tropes from 20 years of those meddling, mystery-solving kids and their somewhat helpful dog. So sit back, ignore any Red Herrings, and listen in as we explore this vital piece of the TV animation renaissance puzzle!
