IDK if it's still popular anymore or just tax write off slop, but definitely Scooby Doo.

I would have absolutely been in the minority back when it came out, but as someone who grew up watching it through reruns on Boomerang, I personally like some of HB's other attempts that didn't stick better.

As the lyrics to Running Under Water by Pain goes:

Me and my friends get no respect.

What does Scooby do that we neglect?

Currently the SC franchise is pretty much a walking corpse with the extremely formulaic plot of "the gang loves xyz and are going to see them/experience event" with little to zero prior showing that they care. Perfect example is literally the KISS crossover movie that came out maybe less than a decade ago. A basically dead band that's been out of the spotlight for a long time and a franchise that went creatively bankrupt decades ago are a perfect match for each other... Except they had to suddenly transform the gang into KISS fans for anything to make any sense.

Edit:

I think it's actually called Running Under Water and not Jabberjaw...
