List of Scooby-Doo characters
Scooby-Doo is the eponymous character in the "Scooby-Doo" animated television series created by the popular American animation company Hanna-Barbera. Scooby-Doo is the pet and lifelong companion of Shaggy Rogers and in many iterations, including the original series, is regarded as a unique anthropomorphic Great Dane dog who is able to speak in broken English, unlike most other dogs in his reality, and usually puts the letter R in front of words spoken. Other incarnations, such as "A Pup Named Scooby-Doo", present talking dogs like Scooby as quite common.
List of Scooby-Doo characters
In "Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated", Van Ghoul is an actor who does horror films (much like Vincent Price, who was the inspiration for his character). He is constantly referenced and glimpses of his movies can be seen throughout the series (according to Shaggy he has done more than 400 movies). He makes a full appearance in the episode "Nightfright", when Shaggy and Scooby win an essay contest to have dinner with him, and later in the episode "Theater of Doom", where he directs the production of Crystal Cove's theater stage of the legend of Friar Serra and his faithful donkey Porto, who supposedly saved many inhabitants from a tsunami that destroyed Crystal Cove.Flim Flam was a part of the gang for all thirteen episodes of "The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo". He is seen in the first episode, "To All the Ghouls I've Loved Before", trying to sell a magic concoction to a local town located in the Himalayan Mountains. However, he was kicked out of town, and managed to meet up with the current Scooby gang, who was trying to find the Mystery Machine (an airplane) hidden by Bogel and Weerd. He took them to a psychic (Vincent Van Ghoul) who could help the whole group find their mode of transportation, and warned them of ensuing danger. Daphne is a given a drink laced with wolfsbane due to the fact the townspeople believe that she overheard their secret, and when the night falls on the town, the group finds out that the whole town is actually a werewolf cult. They are pursued into the sewers, and Flim Flam opens one of his products to spray on Daphne, who reverts to normal. He goes on to cure the rest of the townspeople, who are ever grateful for the help. When Scrappy, Daphne and Flim Flam question them as to how they got that way in the first place, they are told that they were turned into werewolves as revenge for sealing the Thirteen Ghosts into the Chest of Demons, and the current group races to keep Shaggy and Scooby from opening the chest, but to no avail. After Shaggy and Scooby open the chest and release the thirteen ghosts within it, Flim Flam decides to join them in their hunt to return them to the chest.
Animation in the United States in the television era
Hanna-Barbera was notorious for using common tropes in its series. Its original series of the late 1950s through mid-1960s all featured anthropomorphic animals, usually an adult (who would in turn impersonate a well-known celebrity) and child, interacting with the humans of their environment. After the immense success of "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!", which premiered on CBS in 1969, the next decade of Hanna-Barbera's animated output would follow that show's formula: a group of teenagers solving mysteries or fighting crime, usually with the help of a wacky animal or a ghost. The many incarnations of "Scooby-Doo" ran uninterrupted on CBS and then ABC for 17 seasons. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, Hanna-Barbera turned to adaptations of prime time sitcoms. It was not until "The Smurfs" in 1981 that H-B once again had anything successful outside the "Scooby" template; it, in turn, led to derivative series ("The Snorks" and "Paw Paws"). The late 1980s and early 1990s saw Hanna-Barbera join the numerous studios producing younger and junior versions of cartoon characters for the Saturday morning cartoon market.
Scooby Goes Hollywood
Scooby Goes Hollywood (later released on home video as Scooby-Doo Goes Hollywood) is a 1979 television special starring the cast of Hanna-Barbera's Saturday-morning cartoon series "Scooby-Doo". It was originally broadcast on ABC on December 23, 1979.
Scooby-Doo
After attempting to develop his own version of the show, called "House of Mystery", Barbera, who developed and sold Hanna-Barbera shows while Hanna produced them, passed the task along to storywriters Joe Ruby and Ken Spears, as well as artist/character designer Iwao Takamoto. Their treatment, based in part on "The Archie Show", was titled "Mysteries Five" and featured five teenagers: Geoff, Mike, Kelly, Linda, and Linda's brother W.W., along with their bongo-playing dog, Too Much, who collectively formed the band Mysteries Five. When The Mysteries Five were not performing at gigs, they were out solving spooky mysteries involving ghosts, zombies, and other supernatural creatures. Ruby and Spears were unable to decide whether Too Much would be a large cowardly dog or a small feisty one. When the former was chosen, Ruby and Spears wrote Too Much as a Great Dane but revised the dog character to a large sheepdog (similar to the Archies' sheepdog, Hot Dog) just before their presentation to Silverman, as Ruby feared the character would be too similar to the comic strip character Marmaduke. Silverman rejected their initial pitch, and after consulting with Barbera on next steps, got Barbera's permission to go ahead with Too Much being a Great Dane instead of a sheepdog.
Scooby-Doo
"Scooby-Doo" itself would be an influence on many other Saturday morning cartoons of the 1970s. During that decade, Hanna-Barbera and its competitors produced several animated programs also featuring teenage detectives solving mysteries with a pet or mascot of some sort, including "Josie and the Pussycats" (1970–71), "The Funky Phantom" (1971–72), "The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan" (1972–73), "Speed Buggy" (1973–74), "Goober and the Ghost Chasers" (1973–74), "Jabberjaw" (1976–78), "Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels" (1977–80), among others.
Scooby-Doo
Following the success of the original series, Hanna-Barbera and its successor Warner Bros. Animation have produced numerous follow-up and spin-off animated series and several related works, including television specials and made-for-TV movies, a line of direct-to-video films, and two Warner Bros.–produced theatrical feature films. Some versions of "Scooby-Doo" feature different variations on the show's supernatural theme, and include characters such as Scooby's cousin Scooby-Dum and nephew Scrappy-Doo in addition to or instead of some of the original characters.
Scooby-Doo
From 1987 to 1988, Hanna-Barbera Productions produced "Hanna-Barbera Superstars 10", a series of syndicated TV movies featuring their most popular characters, including Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, The Flintstones and The Jetsons. Scooby-Doo, Scrappy-Doo and Shaggy starred in three of these movies: "Scooby-Doo Meets the Boo Brothers" (1987), "Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School" (1988), and "Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf" (1988). These three films took their tone from the early-1980s "Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo" entries, and featured the characters encountering actual monsters and ghosts rather than masqueraded people. Scooby-Doo and Shaggy later appeared as the narrators of the made-for-TV movie "Arabian Nights", originally broadcast by TBS in 1994, Don Messick's final outing as the original voice of Scooby-Doo.
The Scooby-Doo Show
Despite the yearly changes in the way they were broadcast, the 1976–1978 stretch of "Scooby" episodes represents, at three seasons, the longest-running format of the original show before the addition of Scrappy-Doo. The episodes from all three seasons have been rerun under the title "The Scooby-Doo Show" since 1980; these "Scooby" episodes did not originally air under this title. The credits on these syndicated versions all feature a 1976 copyright date, even though some were originally produced in 1977 and 1978. Outside the United States, reruns aired on CBBC in the United Kingdom until 2015. Like many animated series created by Hanna-Barbera in the 1970s, the show contained a laugh track created by the studio.
Scooby-Doo
For the 1977–78 season, "The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Show" became the two-hour programming block "Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics" (1977–78) with the addition of "Laff-a-Lympics" and "Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels". In addition to eight new episodes of "Scooby-Doo" and reruns of the 1969 show, Scooby-Doo also appeared during the "All-Star" block's "Laff-a-Lympics" series, which featured 45 Hanna-Barbera characters competing in "Battle of the Network Stars"-esque parodies of Olympic sporting events. Scooby was seen as the team captain of the "Laff-a-Lympics" "Scooby Doobies" team, which also featured Shaggy and Scooby-Dum among its members.
Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!
"Scooby-Doo" creators Joe Ruby and Ken Spears served as the story supervisors on the series. Ruby, Spears, and Bill Lutz wrote all of the scripts for the seventeen first-season episodes, while Lutz, Larz Bourne, and Tom Dagenais wrote the eight second-season episodes with Ruby and Spears as story editors. The plot varied little from episode to episode. The main concept was as follows:The second season featured bubblegum "chase scene" songs produced by La La Productions (which had originally been contracted to create the music for "Josie and the Pussycats", the first of many animated series made from the same mold as "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!"). These songs were written by Danny Janssen and Austin Roberts, and were performed by Roberts, who also made a new recording of the "Scooby Doo, Where Are You!" theme song for the second season. The series' theme song has been covered by several subsequent artists, including Matthew Sweet for the 1995 TV special and album ""; Third Eye Blind for the 1998 film "Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island"; Billy Ray Cyrus for "Scooby-Doo! and the Witch's Ghost" (1999); Jennifer Love Hewitt for "Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders" (2000); the B-52's (Cindy, Kate and Fred) for "Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase" (2001); MxPx for the live-action "Scooby-Doo" film (2002); and Krystal Harris for "Scooby-Doo! and the Legend of the Vampire" (2003).
Scooby-Doo! Camp Scare
Scooby-Doo! Camp Scare is a 2010 direct-to-DVD animated comedy horror-mystery film based upon the "Scooby-Doo" Saturday morning cartoon, and was released on September 14, 2010. The film was released seven months after the release of "Scooby-Doo! Abracadabra-Doo". The 15th direct-to-video "Scooby-Doo" film, the movie sold 53,389 units in its first week and as of January 2013, it has sold approximately 194,000 units.
Scooby-Doo! and the Goblin King
Scooby-Doo and the Goblin King is a 2008 direct-to-DVD animated comedy horror fantasy film, and the twelfth in the series of "Scooby-Doo" direct-to-video films produced by Warner Bros. Animation (though it used a Hanna-Barbera logo at the end of the movie). It was dedicated to Paulette Oates, who helped resurrect Warner Bros. Animation in the late 1980s. All the main voice actors of Mystery, Inc. reprise their roles. The DVD was released on September 23, 2008. This is the first Scooby cartoon produced entirely without either one of the original creators, William Hanna and Joseph Barbera.
Scooby-Doo
Scooby-Doo is an American animated franchise, comprising many animated television series produced from 1969 to the present day. Writers Joe Ruby and Ken Spears created the original series, "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!", for Hanna-Barbera Productions in 1969. This Saturday-morning cartoon series featured four teenagers—Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, and Norville "Shaggy" Rogers—and their talking brown Great Dane named Scooby-Doo, who solve mysteries involving supposedly supernatural creatures through a series of antics and missteps.
Scooby-Doo: Behind the Scenes
Scooby-Doo: Behind the Scenes, also known as Those Meddling Kids, is a series of shorts that was shown on Cartoon Network in 1998 about Scooby-Doo. Each short gives behind the scenes information on how Mystery Inc. formed, and backgrounds for each member of the gang. There are eight shorts in total, each approximately one minute in length.Daphne's father donated money to the gang, and drove them around to help them start out. Shaggy Rogers found a van, they bought it, and named it the Mystery Machine.Scooby-Doo has an Adam's apple, because of this, it was not strange when he started talking. Shaggy and Scooby form a partnership.
Scrappy-Doo
In "Scooby-Doo Meets the Boo Brothers", "Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School", and "Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf", Scrappy is more toned down, as he is less feisty and a little more cowardly, but still much braver than Scooby and Shaggy. In all three movies, he sometimes serves as the brains of the trio, figuring out the clues and where to go next. Also, the idea of Scrappy actually may not have been all that new to the series, as he "...bore a resemblance to Spears's and Ruby's initial idea for a feisty little dog", which was one of the early ideas for the Scooby-Doo character himself, along with the "big cowardly dog" ultimately chosen. Hints of Scrappy can also be seen in the fact that there were originally six members of mystery inc planned-Mike, Linda, Kelly, Geoff, W.W, and Too Much.It is unknown if one of the personalities was analogous to Scrappy, or which one it would have been.
Scooby-Doo (character)
Scoobert Doo is the eponymous character and protagonist of the animated television franchise Scooby-Doo created in 1969 by the American animation company Hanna-Barbera. Scooby-Doo is a male Great Dane and lifelong companion of amateur detective Shaggy Rogers, with whom he shares many personality traits. Named after a nonsense vocal line in Frank Sinatra's hit song "Strangers in the Night", he features a mix of both canine and human behaviors (reminiscent of other funny animals in the Golden age of American animation), treated by his friends more or less as an equal while speaking in a famous (and much parodied) speech impediment. His catchphrase is "Scooby-Dooby-Doo!"
Scooby-Doo
"Scooby's All-Star Laff-a-Lympics" was retitled "Scooby's All Stars" for the 1978–79 season, reduced to 90 minutes when "Dynomutt" was spun off into its own half-hour and the 1969 reruns were dropped. "Scooby's All-Stars" continued broadcasting reruns of "Scooby-Doo" from 1976 and 1977, while new episodes of "Scooby-Doo" aired during a separate half-hour under the "Scooby-Doo, Where are You!" banner. After nine weeks, the separate "Where are You!" broadcast was cancelled, and the remainder of the 16 new 1978 episodes debuted during the "Scooby's All-Stars" block. The 40 total "Scooby-Doo" episodes produced from 1976 to 1978 were later packaged together for syndication as "The Scooby-Doo Show", under which title they continue to air.
List of Scooby-Doo characters
The head of children's programming at CBS, Fred Silverman, came up with the character's name from the syllables "doo-be-doo-be-doo" in Frank Sinatra's hit song "Strangers in the Night".
Scooby-Doo! First Frights
Scooby-Doo! First Frights is a platform video game developed by Torus Games and published by WB Games. The game tied in with the DVD release of "Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins". This is the fourth Scooby-Doo game to use a laugh track.
Shaggy &amp; Scooby-Doo Get a Clue!
Much like "The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo" on ABC in 1985 (which had actual ghosts and monsters) and the "Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo" shorts in 1980, this show is different from the usual "crooks masquerading as ghosts and monsters" series. Fred Jones, Daphne Blake and Velma Dinkley are downgraded, but not completely absent as they were in the "Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo" shorts. They cameo in the first episode and have full guest appearances in another season one episode. Fred and Daphne appear as silent cameos in one season two episode when they were not allowed to Dr. Phibes's "attractive people" party. Their silhouettes run across the screen in the opening credits in amongst the silhouettes of all the show's regular cast.
Scooby-Doo! in Arabian Nights
Scooby-Doo! in Arabian Nights (also known as Arabian Nights) is a 1994 made-for-television film produced by Hanna-Barbera and premiered on TBS on September 3, 1994. It is an adaptation of "The Book of One Thousand and One Nights" and features appearances by Scooby-Doo and Shaggy Rogers, in wraparound segments.
Scooby-Doo! Spooky Games
Scooby-Doo! Spooky Games is a direct-to-DVD special based upon the "Scooby-Doo" Saturday morning cartoons, created for the London 2012 Olympics, released on July 17, 2012. This special began a trend of bonus Scooby-Doo "special episodes" on various DVDs.
Scooby-Doo (character)
Writers Joe Ruby and Ken Spears created the original "Scooby-Doo" series, "Scooby-Doo, Where are You!", for Hanna-Barbera for CBS's 1969–70 Saturday morning cartoon schedule. Originally titled "Mysteries Five", the dog who later became Scooby was originally more of a sidekick character – a bongo-playing dog named "Too Much" whose breed varied between Great Dane and sheepdog between treatments.
By the time the series was pitched to the network as "Who's S-S-Scared?" in early 1969, Too Much was solidified as a cowardly Great Dane. Both the dog and the series would be renamed "Scooby-Doo" by Fred Silverman, CBS's head of daytime programming, between its unsuccessful first pitch and a second pitch which earned the show a green light. Silverman came up with the name from the syllables "doo-be-doo-be-doo" in Frank Sinatra's hit song "Strangers in the Night".
List of Scooby-Doo characters
Scrappy remained an integral part of the "Scooby-Doo" franchise, on both television and in "Scooby"-related licensed products and merchandising, through the end of the 1980s. He was also briefly the star of his own seven-minute shorts — the "Scrappy and Yabba Doo" segments of "The Scooby & Scrappy-Doo/Puppy Hour". Teamed with his uncle Yabba-Doo and Deputy Dusty, he helped maintain law and order in a small town in the American west. In later years, the presence of Scrappy-Doo has been criticized as having had a negative effect on the various "Scooby-Doo" series of the 1980s. However, the gradual decline of "Scooby-Doo" has been credited to other factors as well, such as changes in format. Scrappy-Doo has become the symbol of an irritatingly overexuberant or cute character added to a series in an attempt to maintain ratings, a phenomenon also known as Cousin Oliver Syndrome. Due to the general perception of the character by audiences, Scrappy-Doo has not appeared in any Scooby-related spinoffs since the made-for-television movie "Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf" in 1988, with four exceptions:
Scooby-Doo (character)
Don Messick originated the character's speech patterns and provided Scooby-Doo's voice in every "Scooby-Doo" production from 1969 until 1994's "Scooby-Doo! in Arabian Nights". Voice actor Hadley Kay voiced the character for a brief period in 1997, for two episodes of "Johnny Bravo", and a few television commercials. Scott Innes (also the then-voice of Shaggy) voiced Scooby-Doo in four late 1990s/early 2000s direct-to-video films and continued to voice the character regularly for toys and video games (such as "Scooby-Doo! Night of 100 Frights") until 2008. Neil Fanning provided the voice of the computer-generated Scooby-Doo in the 2002 live-action film and its . Frank Welker (also the voice of Fred since 1969) has voiced Scooby since 2002, taking over beginning with "What's New, Scooby-Doo?" and other spin-offs including the live-action prequels "Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins" and "Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster". Dave Coulier and Seth Green have both voiced the character in "Robot Chicken".
Scooby-Doo (character)
Scooby has a speech impediment and tends to pronounce most words as if they begin with an "R"; however, most characters are able to understand him almost perfectly. In most iterations, he keeps his sentences relatively short, usually using charades for anything longer than three or four words. His catchphrase, usually howled at the end of every production, is "Scooby-Dooby-Doo!" or "Rooby-Rooby-Roo". Scooby was voiced by Don Messick through "Arabian Nights" in 1994, after which point Messick quit smoking; quitting smoking changed his voice and prevented him from achieving the same raspy vocal effect (despite Messick's efforts, he suffered a career-ending stroke in 1996 and died in 1997, before any further "Scooby-Doo" productions were made). Messick is also known for providing the voice of the dogs Astro on "The Jetsons" and Muttley (who snickered). The characteristic speech impediments of Scooby and Astro are so similar that Astro's signature phrase, "Ruh-roh!", is popularly and improperly attributed to Scooby (as in "Ruh-roh, Raggy!"); of the two voices, Scooby's had a deeper and throatier timbre than Astro's.
Scooby-Doo! in Where's My Mummy?
Scooby-Doo! in Where's My Mummy? is a 2005 animated comedy mystery adventure film, based on the "Scooby-Doo" Saturday morning cartoons. The film had a limited theatrical release in the United States on May 13, 2005. The film was first aired on Cartoon Network in the United States on November 24, 2005.

Animation, though it featured a logo and copyright for Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, Inc. at the end. Currently, this is the last Scooby-Doo film to have a VHS release.
Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island
It is the first in a long-running series of direct-to-video "Scooby-Doo" films; succeeded by "Scooby-Doo! and the Witch's Ghost" (1999). Production started at Hanna-Barbera, but was then completed by its then-new parent company, Warner Bros. Animation (which would produce all subsequent "Scooby-Doo" films). It was also the first of four "Scooby-Doo" direct-to-video films to be animated overseas by Japanese animation studio Mook Animation. The film was released direct-to-video on September 22, 1998 and premiered on Cartoon Network on October 31, 1998. The film received acclaim from critics who praised the animation, voices and writing.

Scrappy-Doo
Scrappy has a contradicted origin. Originally as shown in the introduction of the series, Scrappy only met his Uncle Scooby as a puppy. However, the December 1980 episode of "Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo" ("Scrappy's Birthday") depicts Scrappy-Doo's birth with both Scooby and Shaggy in attendance. Born at St. Bernard's Hospital to Scooby-Doo's sister Ruby-Doo on December 20, 1980, Scrappy idolizes his uncle Scooby and would often assist Scooby and his friends in solving mysteries (Scrappy saves Scooby several times from monsters when they were looking for the rest of the gang). With a highly energetic and brave personality, despite his small size, Scrappy was the exact opposite of his uncle; Scrappy would usually insist on trying to directly fight the various monsters Scooby and his associates encountered and generally have to be dragged away by Scooby. Related to this, one of Scrappy's catchphrases was, "Lemme at 'em! Lemme at 'em! I'll splat 'em! I'll rock 'em and sock 'em!" Another of Scrappy-Doo's catchphrases is, "Ta dadada ta daaa! Puppy power!". He is also quite strong, capable of smashing down solid rock walls and carrying both Scooby and Shaggy over his head seemingly without effort. The character was created by Joseph Barbera and developed by writer Mark Evanier, who has acknowledged that Scrappy's personality was largely based on that of the "Looney Tunes" character Henery Hawk.

"Scooby-Doo" was a financially successful release, with a domestic box office gross of over US$130 million.
Scooby-Doo
With "Scooby-Doo's" restored popularity in reruns on Cartoon Network, Warner Bros. Animation and Hanna-Barbera (by then a subsidiary of Warner Bros. following the merger of Time Warner and Turner Entertainment in 1996) began producing one new "Scooby-Doo" direct-to-video movie a year beginning in 1998. These movies featured a slightly older version of the original five-character cast from the "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!" days. The first four DTV entries were "Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island" (1998), "Scooby-Doo! and the Witch's Ghost" (1999), "Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders" (2000), and "Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase" (2001). Frank Welker was the only original voice cast member to return for these productions. Don Messick had died in 1997 and Casey Kasem, a strict vegetarian, relinquished the role of Shaggy after having to provide the voice for a 1995 Burger King commercial. Therefore, Scott Innes took over as both Scooby-Doo and Shaggy (Billy West voiced Shaggy in "Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island"). B.J. Ward took over as Velma, and Mary Kay Bergman voiced Daphne until her death in November 1999, and was replaced by Grey DeLisle.
Scooby-Doo
"Scooby-Doo" was restored to a standalone half-hour in 1983 with "The New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show" in 1983, which comprised two 11-minute mysteries per episode in a format reminiscent of the original "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!" mysteries.

He is the nephew of Hanna-Barbera cartoon star Scooby-Doo. Scrappy has appeared in a number of the various incarnations of the "Scooby-Doo" cartoon series. Lennie Weinrib provided his voice for one season in 1979, and from 1980 on it was performed by Don Messick (who also voiced Scooby). In the first live-action theatrical movie, video games, and commercials, he was voiced by Scott Innes. He was created to save the show's ratings which by 1979 had begun to sink to the point of cancellation threats from ABC, who were considering choosing between Scooby-Doo and an unnamed pilot from Ruby-Spears Enterprises, whose pilot Evanier had also written. He successfully boosted the show's ratings and kept the show alive.
Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!
On July 4, 2002, Warner Home Video released four episodes from the series on a compilation DVD in Region 1 entitled "Scooby-Doo's Creepiest Capers".

Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins
Stealing the capsule back, the gang uses a book of spells to banish the ghosts. Scooby manages to break free of his restraints and arrives just in time to subdue the Specter, who turns out to be Principal Deedle. The principal reveals that a stamp misprint was hidden within the time capsule, something that would have been worth a fortune. The time capsule was meant to be buried when the school first opened, but a flood hit the town that day and the capsule was lost in the old school underneath the new school. Deedle being determined to claim the misprint in the time capsule used the spell book to summon the ghosts to scare everyone away so he as the Specter can open the time capsule himself. As the exposed Deedle is fired from his job and is sent to prison for his crimes, the group is publicly congratulated (and un-expelled) by Grimes (who becomes the new Principal) who also apologises to the gang for falsely accusing them. In the film's ending, the group decide to stay together and solve mysteries, and they head off to "investigate some strange goings-on at the Coolsville museum", a hint to the very first episode of "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!" and their very first case, The Black Knight Ghost.Filming took place in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, including Templeton Secondary School from August 4, 2008. Cartoon Network's content advisor Rob Sorcher had said, "This contemporary take on Scooby-Doo will be an exciting movie event on Cartoon Network. This project is also an anchor component of our new push into movies, our great partnership with Warner Premiere and the overall expectation of Cartoon Network programming efforts."
The trailer for "Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins" was first seen on the DVD of "Scooby-Doo! and the Samurai Sword", "17 Again" and "Shorts".
The Scooby-Doo Show
The Scooby-Doo Show is an American animated mystery comedy series. The title of the series is an umbrella term for episodes of the third incarnation of Hanna-Barbera's "Scooby-Doo" franchise. A total of 40 episodes ran for three seasons, from 1976 to 1978, on ABC, marking the first "Scooby" series to appear on the network. Sixteen episodes were produced as segments of "The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour" in 1976, eight episodes were produced as segments of "Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics" in 1977 and sixteen episodes were produced in 1978, with nine of them running by themselves under the "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!" name and the final seven as segments of "Scooby's All-Stars".
The New Scooby-Doo Movies
In 1994, "The New Scooby-Doo Movies" began appearing on three Turner Broadcasting networks: TNT, Cartoon Network and Boomerang. Like many animated series created by Hanna-Barbera in the 1970s, the show contained a laugh track created by the studio. The first season of the series was animated at Hanna-Barbera's main studio in Los Angeles, while the second season was animated at their newly formed studio in Australia.
Upon attempting to release a complete series set of the entire "24-episode" show on DVD in 2005, Warner Home Video was unable to negotiate agreements with several of the episodes' guest stars to have those episodes included in the DVD set. As a result, the DVD was released under the title "The Best of the New Scooby-Doo Movies", and features only 15 episodes culled from both seasons. The opening titles on this release were edited to remove the images of The Addams Family, Batman & Robin, The Harlem Globetrotters, The Three Stooges, and Laurel & Hardy. It is still unknown if Warner Home Video will ever release a complete set or a second compilation for the remaining episodes.
List of The Scooby-Doo Show episodes
This is a list of episodes from "The Scooby-Doo Show". The episode titles given for the show reflect Hanna-Barbera studio records, as no on-screen titles were given for most episodes.
Scooby-Doo! and the Spooky Scarecrow
Scooby-Doo! and the Spooky Scarecrow is a 2013 Direct-to-DVD special based upon the "Scooby-Doo" Saturday morning cartoons as a Halloween special, released on September 10, 2013 on the "13 Spooky Tales: Run for Your Rife" DVD.
Scooby-Doo
Scheduled opposite another teenage mystery-solving show, ABC's "The Hardy Boys", "Scooby-Doo" became a ratings success, with Nielsen ratings reporting that as many as 65% of Saturday morning audiences were tuned in to CBS when "Scooby-Doo" was being broadcast. The show was renewed for a second season in 1970, for which eight episodes were produced. Seven of the second-season episodes featured chase sequences set to bubblegum pop songs recorded by Austin Roberts, who also re-recorded the theme song for this season. With Stefanianna Christopherson having married and retired from voice acting, Heather North assumed the role of Daphne, and would continue to voice the character until 1997.
Josie and the Pussycats (comics)
In the animated series, she is somewhat similar to Velma Dinkley from "Scooby-Doo" and they met in a 1973 episode of "The New Scooby-Doo Movies", "The Haunted Showboat". She is the character who saves the day the most often, thanks to her street smarts and her mechanical and scientific genius. In the comics, this is downplayed, although she is still the most intelligent of the group. Valerie is the first African-American female cartoon character on a regular animated television series.
Fred Jones (Scooby-Doo)
Originally named "Ronnie" when production for "Scooby-Doo" began in spring 1969, Fred was named by and after Fred Silverman, who was then head of daytime programming at CBS and a key member of the show's development team. Frank Welker, a young comedian and impressionist, was asked by the network to audition for the voice of Fred, although he had originally intended to audition for first Scooby-Doo (whom he eventually did get to voice after Don Messick died in 1997) and later Shaggy (Casey Kasem, who was cast as Shaggy, had originally wanted to voice Fred). Being cast as Fred led to the start of a long, prolific career in voice work for Welker, with "Scooby-Doo" being his first voice acting job.
The Scooby-Doo Show
In 1977, ABC had a programming block called "Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics". The "Scooby-Doo" segment of this two-hour block included 8 new episodes of "Scooby-Doo" (two of which featured Scooby-Dum and one of which, "The Chiller Diller Movie Thriller", guest-starred Scooby-Doo and Scooby-Dum's distant female cousin, Scooby-Dee), plus reruns from the 1976–1977 season. The name of the block was changed to "Scooby's All-Stars" for the 1978–1979 season, when the program was shortened to an hour and a half, after the cancellation of "Dynomutt". 16 half-hours of "Scooby-Doo" (featuring just the original five characters) were produced this season, and began airing earlier in the morning before the "Scooby's All-Stars" block as a third season of "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!" in September. "Scooby's All-Stars" instead aired reruns of the 1976 and 1977 episodes for the first nine weeks of the 1978–79 season. By November, the early-morning airing of "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!" had been cancelled, and the new 1978 episodes began airing during the "Scooby-Doo" segment of "Scooby's All-Stars".
Scooby-Doo
In 2001, "Scooby-Doo in Stagefright", a live stage play based upon the series, began touring across the world. A follow-up, "Scooby-Doo and the Pirate Ghost", followed in 2009.
The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo
The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo is the seventh incarnation of the Hanna-Barbera Saturday morning cartoon "Scooby-Doo", and the final first-run version of the original 1969–1985 broadcast run of the series.
