This is one of the better episodes of this series.
In this episode Shaggy and Scooby are nominated for the Mystery Solvers of the Millennium award. However, they later learn that this was a trap for them and the other detectives.
This is one of the few episodes of this series that actually centers around solving a mystery. It also features a nice twist on the typical Scooby-Doo mystery. This episode (like most episodes of this series) features only Shaggy and Scooby without the rest of the Mystery Inc. Gang. They feel outclassed by being around all these great detectives, especially since they feel that the other Mystery Inc. members did most of the actual mystery solving. Feeling embarrassed, they view this as an opportunity to prove themselves to their fellow mystery solvers. This puts us squarely on their side because of how we have all felt like them at times. That Shaggy and Scooby are their usual very likable selves helps a lot in this situation. The episode also benefits from some memorable monsters. These monsters have great designs that are both creepy and a lot of fun.
Unfortunately like many episodes of this series, the humor often falls completely flat. Also, the mystery is very easy to solve for anyone who has watched enough of this series.
Despite its flaws, this is a fun episode.
