Official Score = 2 Devils[/caption]I will be honest and say that so far the first two episodes of this series were pretty stupid... The stories were kind of bland, the scripts kind of ridiculous, and frankly, Scooby & the Gang seemed to me to be really out of place in modern times... (They still looked the same that they did in the 60s, but in the modern day... I found this to be kind of weird...)
But I will be honest and say that Episode 3: ' Secret Of The Ghost Rig' truly is a breathe of fresh air!
You see this episode, which written by: Joe Ruby (Centurions) & Ken Spears (The Chipmunks), tells the story of a, 'Ghost Truck'... (A sort of voluminous truck that when it is seen on the road, looks like a truck with no one driving, and with flaming wheels)...
Well the truck seems to like to try and kill passing motorists by driving them off of the road... During this time, the town's crystal door knobs are being stolen bit by bit.
So it will be up to Scooby-Doo and the rest of the mystery incorporated team (with the help of, 'Mr. E') to try and find who is stealing these doorknobs, and who is responsible for the, 'Ghost Truck', before the town's Crytal Doorknobs disappear, and the Ghost Truck kills it's first victim!

The Mystery Incorporated team as they are being chased by the very entity that is trying to kill them![/caption]In the end folks, there is still certain stupid elements that at this point in the series they haven't really gotten rid of... (Including the Sheriff being more concerned with the city's revenue stream, then lives, or, 'Fred and his ambiguous sexuality...' I know that maybe odd to say, but there is interest from the girls in the team with the boys, but Fred seems more interested in being friends with, 'Shaggy', then with responding in kind to, 'Daphne', and, 'Shaggy' seems more interested in, 'Scooby-Doo' then in, 'Velma'. I know it is a kids show, but if you are going to have the girls showing interest, then you should have the boys doing so as well!)
In the end, if this episode is an indication of things to come, then this show may finally be something worth checking out!
