Review: 'Velma' revisits 'Scooby-Doo's' pre-dog days

"This is my story, told my way," the title character narrates at the outset of "Velma," an adult-oriented take on "Scooby-Doo" that demonstrates the limits of stretching what amounts to a one-note joke into a series. Sporadically witty but ultimately rather tedious, the HBO Max comedy leverages more than a half-century of name equity to yield an animated prequel that's definitely not for kids, meddling or otherwise.
