Plus What's New Scooby-Doo? having a flashback to when they were kids and even using the A Pup Named Scooby-Doo character designs.

I do vaguely remember that one. But late teens would still be before when this series is supposed to take place, wouldn't it?

And we can excuse Scooby's age problem since it's a cartoon about a talking dog.
Fred is supposed to be 16 here, and this is before the gang is formed so it is before Hollywood if we mash it into the same timeline.

Oh, I didn't take a close look at the summary. For some reason I had it in my head that this was supposed to be college, not high school. Then again, why would Shaggy be in college? lol

At Crystal Cove High School, Daphne (Constance Wu) is a popular mean girl orphan who deals drugs because of a dark family secret. Her boyfriend Fred (Glenn Howerton) personifies mediocre white richness. His mansion holds a dark secret and he has teeny widdle privates, a subject of much conversation. "Shaggy" has become Norville (Sam Richardson), a school-newspaper striver friendzoned by his beloved Velma. He worries he's a beta male; remember that lame humor concept from 20 years ago?

Yeah this was definitely an original show that was forced to take on an IP by higher ups.

just saw the trailer, and I'm not feeling it:

plus, the characters feel so different, if you called them (and the show) different names, you wouldn't know they were related to the Scooby Doo franchise; it would just be another teen mystery series.

Entertainment Weekly has a history of shilling hard for these types of projects and even they said this Velma show is a creative mess and the jokes stink. And they surprisingly didn't sugar coat that in their review. Not a good sign.

Tbf from the reviews it seems like the lack of Scooby-Doo is the least of its problems lol just seems like dated humor for a type of person that doesn't exist anymore.

Also the characterizations of the existing characters are so far off base from what they are, not even like an 'adult' or 'dark' version of them. Just straight up not related to their original characters at all. Which brings me again to believe that this show didn't really start off as a Scooby-Doo show and that the producers didn't believe it was strong enough on its own without attaching an IP to it.

No one asked for Wednesday either and that turned out awesome
One could argue that Wednesday is the main character of the first Addams Family movie though, or at least the driving force of the secondary story.

Velma was always a monotone, secondary character with very little personality. At least in the cartoons

I believe RT's score is based on whether a review is above 5/10 or not. Like if everyone gave the show a 6/10, it would have a 100% fresh rating.
