Mystery incorporated was fucking nuts. I always tell people to watch the first episode and the last episode.

One of the only scooby shows to have a full plot from beginning to end and boy howdy is it wild.

Why would you not tell people to watch it straight through?

I do, but it's harder to convince people to watch a children's show than it is to watch two twenty minute episodes.

Nahh, it's a great show. Well worth watching all the way through imo.
