A weaker Scooby adventure.
In this episode, Scooby and Shaggy try to stop the evil Dr. Phibes from releasing a dangerous and evil computer virus into the nation's weapons defense systems. However, they end up accidently releasing the virus in their uncle Albert's mansion, where they are staying. There it takes over all the technology in the mansion.
Scooby and Shaggy Get a Clue was a Scooby series that tried to do something completely different. Not only does this series only feature Scooby and Shaggy and features a different art style but the storylines have nothing to do with solving mysteries. While I appreciate the idea behind this series, it is not very successful. At least not in this episode. This episode is filled with slapstick humor from start to finish. However little of the humor is that funny. I didn't laugh once or even smile at any of the gags. The supporting characters are quite bland and boring. This includes the villain, who neither feels threatening or fun. The only thing this episode really has going for it is that Scooby and Shaggy are still their likable selves, and it is always a joy to spend time with them.
This episode was written by Ray DeLaurentis, who is best known for his work on the Butch Hartman shows, Fairly OddParents and T.U.F.F. Puppy. He served as the story editor on Scooby and Shaggy Get a Clue but only receives a writing credit on two episodes (the other being the first episode, Shags to Riches (2006)). This episode was directed by Jeff Allen, who also directed episodes of Xiaolin Showdown and Ultimate Spider-Man. For Scooby and Shaggy Get a Clue he directed quite a few episodes. This series is the only time either of them worked with Scooby-Doo!
This is sadly a weaker episode
