The newest incarnation Mystery Inc. is actually very good.My favourite since the before Scrappy showed up.It actually has an ongoing mystery that they get one clue for in each episode.The first time the show has ever done that. It's funny and has a lot of nods to the originals.

The newest incarnation Mystery Inc. is actually very good.My favourite since the before Scrappy showed up.It actually has an ongoing mystery that they get one clue for in each episode.The first time the show has ever done that. It's funny and has a lot of nods to the originals. Oh, I do too. When it was airing, I got a great kick out of it for that fact, there was more than one mystery going on the whole time, the disappearance and then the main focus of the episode, which was usually really good on it's own right. I liked it far more than 'What's New, Scooby-Doo' for that very reason, the mystery's were a lot better and actually pretty creepy at times. Not only that, but the characters are great. Daphne and Fred getting together only being hinted at because Fred's too concerned with trap-building to notice Daphne's affections (quite possibly proof he's the dumbest guy alive for ignoring her), Velma and Shaggy getting together for real instead of being hinted at in the original series, Shaggy and Scooby's relationship. It's all good stuff, and the background information given to us by finally seeing their families is great. Add in a plethora of good jokes and I think it even trumps the original series. And CS, watch the two made-for-TV versions. They're a lot better than the two theatrical ones and really quite funny, plus the second one is really good for almost featuring more horror elements than comedy. |

Howard the Duck Teen Wolf Weird Science American Ninja ( I just want to run my fingers through Michael Dudikoff's awesome hair.)  |

Calling American Ninja a guilty pleasure is almost sacrilege. Great series there with all 5 of them having some great stuff about them, even the last three with David Bradley in the main role.
And great news, TWD. Scooby-Doo, Mystery Incorporated is coming back on with it's new season, just started so it might get close to airing down there. Great stuff, I won't spoil it but great, great stuff.

I don't think I've seen all of the American Ninja films. If they are so great I wonder why ratings are so low on imdb? Don't get me wrong I'm a fan and love Michael Dudikoff but some people feel the way about him that they do Channing Tatum today. He's a pretty boy that can't act.

Don't worry, most haven't because they see a series they've never heard of get a title like Part 4 (when they've never seen or heard of Part 1) and automatically skip it over when browsing in the movie section because it must be inferior to a film that must've sucked to begin with, if you use the logic of diminishing returns for sequels, and DTV sequels at that. Then, those who do watch them expect any movie to automatically compare with the greats of their chosen genre as if it's supposed to be better when all you're really supposed to do is sit back and be entertained. I can't stand that aspect of our culture today, where everything is supposed to be better than the past, yet bitch and moan and write the movie off for the most insufficient areas (technical qualities/acting abilities, how much the film resembles other movies already made despite the fact you saw the imitations first, venue of release, etc.) and then they wonder why 'nothing's ever as good as it was in the past.' If you're open to it, then just enjoy it.
If you're open for it, try Part 4, Annihilation. Dudikoff and David Bradley take on Cannon's typically-inexhaustible army of ninjas. It's one of my favorites.

I actually do own all of the American Ninja films so I'm sure I will like them.  I watched something with Michael Dudikoff last year then went bonkers buying every movie of his I could get my hands on.  |

I wish I could have the same enthusiasm for an actor, the closest I've come is the work of Tony Jaa but that's really more because the only thing he does is kung-fu films which I'm more a fan of than him as an actor. I'm more of a genre-aficionado than a fan of the actor, so because he only works in that specific style I've become a huge fan, but again it's more because the films are that certain style rather than him as an actor.
