I am Outraged! Outraged!

Freya and I watched the newest iteration in the "Scooby Doo" franchise tonight. It just premiered this month, and we had some of it DVR'ed.
There's...been some changes. For one thing, the animation is a little different. It's fine, just different. Additionally, Casey Kasem isn't doing Shaggy's voice anymore, and that's flat out annoying. I don't know what kind of money he was asking for, but they should have either given it to him or not done the show.
But the biggest thing? The worst thing? They're putting Shaggy and Velma IN A RELATIONSHIP!!! Yes, I'm shouting! It's totally squicky! That's like...like...dating your cousin or something. People are just going to feel uncomfortable about it.
I actually wrote e-mails to both Warner Brothers Animation and Cartoon Network about it tonight. I've been watching that damn show for over 25 years, and lord knows we have every Scooby movie and half the episodes on DVD. (For Freya.) They owe me their ears at this point.
Shaggy + Velma = No thank you
I don't watch any Scooby shows at all dating from after 1985 if I can help it. I just don't go there. But the boys love them and sometimes it can't be avoided. I don't really like any of the "newer" ones, though.
I thought Velma was a lesbian.
What's up with making kids think they need to be in some sort of relationship at such a young age? Zack and Cody / Hannah Montana have been chasing the opposite sex since they've been in Pull-ups.
