The backgrounds are detailed and atmospheric. The BGM is a long, continuous track that is easy on the ears and skillfully done. The character designs are timeless and godtier. All four protagonists show their personality in their design/clothing, and changing that to be more "modern" is a downgrade (Scooby is a doggo so nothing to say here, but notice that his body language and shape reflect his cowardly nature. Again a reflection of artistic skill). The Mystery Machine itself is an icon.
The stories work and endured because they are like a scary story a little kid would imagine. It is a "horror" show a 6 year old who hasn't seem an actual horror movie imagines them to be. THAT is the key to the mystery. It is frightening in a silly way, it is scary but fun, and everything resolves itself in the end. The formulaic nature of the show ADDS to its value. Yes, MI was great and so was Zombie Island, I like both quite a bit - but I pray no faggot ruins this show permanently due to sheer incompetence and egotism.
From the elder godtier intro onward, this is pure gold.
