I don't see why you interpret that at Scooby Doo being one

Seems like the logical conclusion. Based on other things in the series, and hes a talking dog... Which the other talking dog basically explained why hes a talking dog...

There's really no such thing as canon in Scooby Doo, because the shows and films frequently contradict each other. Pretty much everything should be viewed as a standalone. Scooby is actually somehow even wonkier on continuity than DC, and this isn't even addressing the fact that Mystery Inc had history get rewritten

Keep in mind that we have probably at least TEN different origins for the Scooby gang first meeting.

All that aside, Mystery Inc is probably the best incarnation of Scooby Doo... although Be Cool, Scooby Doo also seemed incredible from what I saw of it.

Scooby Doo is everything and nothing. He is simultaneously a reincarnation of a Lovecraftian Beast while also being Alexander the Greats dogs heir, while also being a child of hillbilly dogs.

No, debatable, and no.

1) It's incredible; possibly the best incarnation of Scooby Doo.

2) Most of the episodes are standalone (your usual monster-of-the-week mystery) with some amount of running continuity. Previous incarnations of the show had multi-part episodes (ie, not standalone) and running continuity, so it's not entirely different in that regard although it had more continuity than other series and, unlike most versions, it had things resembling season/series finales.

3) He's a parrot. And calling him a villain is kinda spoiler-y because he's not revealed to be an antagonist until later on.

It's not the crappy one, you're thinking of Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get a Clue!

Which one? There are a dozen earlier ones. The original doesn't really hold up and then you have some fun spin-offs like A Pup Named Scooby Doo and 13 Ghosts, as well as some crappier series that tried to evoke the original's feel like What's New, Scooby Doo? In between you had a LOT of other series.

Yeah. Theres like 14 series and 36 movies. And most of the series have multiple seasons (or at least a bunch of episodes)...

I actually love that one. And Flim-Flam is one of my favorite characters. Vincent was cool, too. I also like that is some episode in the future, they all reunited: Scooby, Shaggy, Daphne, Vincent, and Flim-Flam. Though, Scappy was still... somewhere...Fred and Velma were also there, but it was whatever...

It was great, but unfortunately very short-lived... and then it finally got a movie that kinda pisses on it by suggesting it was all fake, which is a pretty long departure from the trend kinda started with Zombie Island where things were assumed fake, but turned out to be real (although, technically speaking, prior to that we did have several series with purportedly real monsters, but they lacked the "skeptic proved wrong" element)

It's a real thing:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anunnaki

Conspiracy theorists and ancient alien idiots tend to love the idea (especially the ones that completely misinterpret what they actually were in the first place), so you'll see it crop up in fiction from time-to-time.

Also, this:

Reality is actually different at the end of Mystery Inc than it is at the beginning of the show - the universe is entirely rewritten and changed by events in the show. So what is true through the series isn't necessarily true before or after it.

But as has been said, Scooby Doo has literally made no effort to maintain anything resembling continuity. It's basically a show about a stoner and his dog, and they occasionally solve mysteries with their friends. Anything beyond that is subject to change.
