Aiigh! - Definite NAY. My children, who grew up not knowing any better, don't understand my reaction to him, though. DS used to be a Scoob fanatic, and we still have all the episodes and movies on VHS. They think it's funny when I gack about Scrappy - and Scooby Dum, for that matter, though I'd much rather deal with Dum than that whiny little snot. I agree, HugsForEeyore, that it just added insult to injury when the producers dropped main characters but added him - what were they thinking?
