The story
When Shaggy's rich Uncle Albert goes missing and is presumed dead, Shaggy receives an inheritance, which he uses to upgrade the Mystery Machine so it can transform itself into other types of vehicles. Before disappearing, Uncle Albert made some enemies and it is up to Shaggy and his trusty canine, Scooby-Doo, to defeat those enemies, the most dangerous of whom is evil Dr. Phineas Phibes. Armed with the upgraded Mystery Machine, a loyal robot servant and their new riches, Shaggy and Scooby must stop Dr. Phibes' evil plans and save the world.
Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get a Clue! recap
Shaggy's Uncle Albert, a wealthy scientist, disappears and leaves Shaggy his fortune and a mansion staffed by a clumsy robot butler named Robi. Albert has also invented a nanotechnology formula and mixed it into Scooby Snacks, and when Scooby eats one he gets a random superpower for a short time: stretching, flying, super speed and so on. The evil Dr. Phineus Phibes, a technology thief, wants the formula and sends his henchmen after Shaggy and Scooby in every episode, while Uncle Albert sends secret messages helping his nephew stop him. Fred, Daphne and Velma appear only in occasional guest roles. The show swaps mysteries for spy-style action comedy. It aired on Kids' WB from 2006 to 2008, for 26 episodes over two seasons.
