And that's why all the crap this show pulls frusterates me so much: what's good is REALLY good but the Romantic Plot Tumor and Unfortunate Implications stuff absolutely plague the show. I wish they'd go away.
This is the reason I get so crazy about this show and not other "bad" Scooby productions. Mystery Incorporated had the potential to be one of the most amazing cartoons ever made and really breathe new life into the franchise. But then the writers lost their minds and decided that they wanted to make a horrible teen soap opera instead. You can still see glimpses of awesomeness when the romance subplots are ignored. But they're few and far between.
This show is one of the few instances where a prudish Network Censor hovering over the creative team's shoulders might have done some good.
