the most recent Scooby Doo cartoon titled 'Be Cool Scooby Doo'. animation is a bit low-tech. usual formula of masked miscreants busted by the meddling kids.
much lighter in tone than the superb 'Mystery Incorporated'. lots of witty humor if you listen closely. the more I watch the more I like. currently playing on Boomerang. Season One dvd available on Amazon. I think Season Two is available to watch online.
running joke is Daphne trying different activities (puppets, mimery, falconry)

It is a lot better than the movies.

the many faces of Daphne; mime, with beard disguise, diver, falconer, goth, puppeteer, slumber party animal, ancient Grecian, stand-up comic, crystal seer.
I'm probably reading to much into but it seems the original series was about Scooby and Shaggy; Mystery Incorporated more about Fred and Velma; and this one about Daphne. many episodes there is a minor tiff and Daphne brings everyone together.

That animation style is definitely new for the Scooby franchise, now you've got me curious.

Checking around it looks like it's not on Netflix and Amazon requires an add-on subscription for Boomerang while on FiOS in this region it's on Boomerang but... for this region only the SD channel is being carried, not the HD version.

That's the second channel is as many days that I'd like to watch but FiOS doesn't offer the HD version of the channel; the other channel is Comet TV but at least I can stream that on my laptop.

not to drift topics but right now the entertainment industry is in flux. lots of options, lots of stuff falling through the cracks. I suspect in 3-5 years the market/technology will settle and we'll be back to about four-five sources (cable, dish, directTV, netflix, Amazon, for instance)
Be Cool Scooby Doo season 1 is available on dvd @ Amazon
