TRY had it's issues (Lina and the Giga Slave still drives me nuts), but it's still okay. Not great (especially as a follow up to NEXT), but okay. ....and I kinda liked the Wonderland spoof. Yeah, it was stupid. But I got some giggles out of it. ^_^;
At least New-Applejack isn't obsessively pursuing a relationship with a douchebag and telling little girls that they're too fat. Compared to that, an accent and a silly hat aren't that big a deal.
The reason THIS particular Scooby series gets to me more than any other sub-par incarnations of the franchise is the sexism and the assassination of a character that meant a lot to me as a kid. This may sound dumb; but I identified with Velma as a kid because I felt like a short, ugly nerd back then. She's one of VERY few lead female characters who isn't conventionally attractive. So for this show to actively remove ALL her positive traits just so she can be self loathing and boy crazy sets off my inner bra-burner.
