An excellent episode of A Pup Named Scooby-Doo!
In this episode the gang goes to see the new life size Commander Cool toys. Of course Shaggy and Scooby go dressed as Commander Cool and Mellowmutt. However soon an alien model seeming comes to life an wrecks havoc. When the gang tries to stop them Shaggy accidently hurts his head and get amnesia. Seeing the costume he is wearing Shaggy thinks he really is Commander Cool and that Scooby is Mellow Mutt. Being a superhero Shaggy decides to take over the case for himself.
There is nothing too original about the plot and in fact Shaggy had already believed he was a fictional superhero in the Scooby-Doo! and Scrappy-Doo cartoon, Super Teen Shaggy (1982). However this episode more than makes up for that with its great sense of humor. This is certainly one of the funniest episodes of the show and there were many great gags throughout. The running joke with Red Herring is espically funny and proves to be one of the funniest uses of that character. The gang's attempts to both play along with Shaggy's fantasies and protect their friend is very funny as is Daphne's way of dealing with the dust. The mystery is very good and while it is not too hard to solve, you can definitely see that it was well thought out. The alien, while not as great as a Scooby-Doo! Where Are You monster, is well designed and a lot of fun.
All in all this is an excellent episode and should delight all fans of A Pup Named Scooby-Doo!
