Given the ratings I think a lot of kids also seem to be thinking the same way too.
I can't help but remember a cartoon called A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, which was easily the most annoying version of Scooby-Doo that I've ever seen. Of course, it's likely to be to be better than CN's upcoming live-action version, which will probably be badly written and poorly cast.

There, an idea that potentially could be fun and combines the best of both worlds. But what do I know? I'm not a high powered executive...yet.
Not a bad idea, not bad at all.
