A Pup Named Scooby-Doo
The series takes place when the gang is much younger. In the original series, the four kids were in their late teens, late high school or early college age (they never really specify). In this series, they are junior high age, and Scooby-Doo is a puppy. They call their gang the "Scooby-Doo Detective Agency" and solve mysteries in their hometown, Coolsville.
The show is more light-hearted and humorous than the earlier Scooby-Doo series, even poking fun at itself and some of the more typical traits of the characters. Although Fred tries to be in charge of the gang, he tends to guess wrong about who the villains are and often forgets important things, even after his friends remind him, sometimes several times. Generally, Fred doesn't seem as smart as in earlier series, and Daphne is frequently the one who corrects him. Daphne seems less accident-prone than she is in other series, but she is just as interested in her appearance, frequently complaining when investigating a mystery causes her clothes or shoes to get dirty. Velma is still the genius of the group, and the characters make a point that Velma rarely talks, unless she has discovered something important or has something important to say. Velma also drives the motorized skateboard that the kids use to get around (because they're all too young to drive and don't have the Mystery Machine yet) and she seems like a real speed demon when she does. Of the usual characters, Scooby and Shaggy seem to have changed the least. Scooby has a dog house that has an extensive mansion-like underground portion.
There are some recurring characters in the series, like Red Herring (a school bully that Fred usually suspects of being the bad guy, even though he usually isn't the monster in disguise) and Jenkins (the butler who works for Daphne's wealthy family, whom she calls to do things for her that she doesn't want to do). Unlike most of the other series, the kids' parents also appear regularly. Velma's parents look very much like her, and Shaggy's father is a police officer.
