Scooby Doo Cartoon

Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! is an American animated comedy television series created by Joe Ruby and Ken Spears and produced by Hanna-Barbera for CBS. The series premiered as part of the network's Saturday morning cartoon schedule on September 13, 1969, and aired for two seasons until October 31, 1970. In 1978, a selection of episodes from the later animated series Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics and The Scooby-Doo Show were aired on ABC under the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! title name, and was released in a DVD set marketed as its third season.[4] It also aired on BBC One in the UK from 1970 to 1973.[5] The complete series is also available on Boomerang, HBO channels, and Tubi streaming services.

In 2005, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! came 49th in Channel 4's 100 Greatest Cartoons,[18] in the UK, and was more recently voted the 8th greatest Kids' TV Show by viewers of the same channel.[19] It was ranked the 24th greatest cartoon on IGN's Top 100 Animated Series.[20]

In 1968, parent-run organizations, particularly Action for Children's Television (ACT), began protesting what they perceived as excessive violence in Saturday-morning cartoons.[3] Most of these shows were Hanna-Barbera action cartoons such as Space Ghost, The Herculoids, and Birdman and the Galaxy Trio, and virtually all of them were canceled by 1969 because of pressure from the parent groups.[4] Members of these watch groups served as advisers to Hanna-Barbera and other animation studios to ensure that new programs would be safe for children.

As a result of Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo's success, the entire show was overhauled in 1980 to focus more upon Scrappy-Doo. At this time, Scooby-Doo started to walk and run anthropomorphically on two feet more often, rather than on four like a normal dog as he did previously. Fred, Daphne, and Velma were dropped from the series, and the new Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo format now consisted of three seven-minute comedic adventures starring Scooby, Scrappy, and Shaggy instead of one half-hour mystery. Most of the supernatural villains in the seven-minute Scooby and Scrappy cartoons, who in previous Scooby series had been revealed to be human criminals in costume, were now real within the context of the series.

This version of Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo first aired from 1980 to 1982 as part of The Richie Rich/Scooby-Doo Show, an hour-long program also featuring episodes of Hanna-Barbera's new Richie Rich cartoon, adapted from the Harvey Comics character. From 1982 to 1983, Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo were part of The Scooby-Doo/Scrappy-Doo/Puppy Hour, a co-production with Ruby-Spears Productions which featured two Scooby and Scrappy shorts, a Scrappy and Yabba-Doo short featuring Scrappy-Doo and his Western deputy uncle Yabba-Doo, and The Puppy's New Adventures, based on characters from a 1977 Ruby-Spears TV special.

Hanna-Barbera reincarnated the original Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! cast as elementary school students (a common trope in 1980s children's TV) for a new series titled A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, which debuted on ABC in 1988. A Pup Named Scooby-Doo was an irreverent re-imagining of the series, heavily inspired by the classic cartoons of Tex Avery and Bob Clampett, and eschewed the realistic aesthetic of the original Scooby series for a more Looney Tunes-like style, including an episode where Scooby-Doo's parents show up and reveal his real name to be "Scoobert". At the same time, the series returned to its original formula in that the group unmasked human villains in costume, as opposed to the supernatural monsters of the early to mid-1980s. The series also established "Coolsville" as the name of the gang's hometown; this setting was retained for several of the later Scooby productions. The retooled show was a success, remaining in production for four seasons and on ABC's lineup until 1991.

On March 10, 2014, Cartoon Network announced several new series based on classic cartoons, including a new Scooby-Doo animated series titled Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!.[30] The show features the gang "living it up" the summer after the gang's senior year of high school. Along the way, they run into monsters and mayhem.[31] The series premiered October 5, 2015 on Cartoon Network[32] and concluded on March 18, 2018.

Reruns of Scooby-Doo have been in syndication since 1980, and have also been shown on cable television networks such as TBS Superstation (until 1989) and USA Network (as part of the USA Cartoon Express from 1990 to 1994). In 1993, A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, having just recently ended its network run on ABC, began reruns on the Cartoon Network. With Turner Broadcasting purchasing Hanna-Barbera in 1991, in 1994 the Scooby-Doo franchise became exclusive to the Turner networks: Cartoon Network, TBS Superstation, and TNT.[36] Canadian network Teletoon began airing Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! in 1997, with the other Scooby series soon following. When TBS and TNT ended their broadcasts of H-B cartoons in 1998, Scooby-Doo became the exclusive property of both Cartoon Network and sister station Boomerang.

By the 2000s, Scooby-Doo had received recognition for its popularity by placing in a number of top cartoon or top cartoon character polls. The August 3, 2002, issue of TV Guide featured its list of the 50 Greatest Cartoon Characters of All Time, in which Scooby-Doo placed twenty-second.[84] Scooby also ranked thirteenth in Animal Planet's list of the 50 Greatest TV Animals.[85] For one year from 2004 to 2005, Scooby-Doo held the Guinness World Record for having the most episodes of any animated television series ever produced, a record previously held by and later returned to The Simpsons. Scooby-Doo was published as holding this record in the 2006 edition of the Guinness Book of Records.[86]

Excluding cancellation and years in between series scooby doo is almost at 50 years of existence. This beats modern cartoons by far. The only other shows I think are older are probably Looney Toons and Tom and Jerry but even then they haven't been as consistent as Scooby Doo.

As one of the longest-running cartoon franchises, looking at all the Scooby-Doo shows in order cements its impressive legacy. This cowardly cartoon dog has spanned decades and entertained millions of people through the years, from its groovy beginnings in 1969 to the most recent series, Velma. The classic set-up for the series follows Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Inc. team, Shaggy, Velma, Daphne, and Fred, as they stumble onto seemingly supernatural occurrences and try to get to the bottom of them. Despite the simple premise, these characters have stuck with fans for over 50 years in various cartoon series, as well as live-action movies.

When examining the Scooby-Doo series in order, the original and perhaps most beloved series was created when Hanna-Barbera was seeking out a more wholesome and less intense television show than their past superhero cartoons. Each campy episode of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! had the same structure, which became comforting and familiar for young viewers. There was also plenty of slapstick humor supplemented by Shaggy and Scooby. After chasing someone around, the gang would always solve the mystery by revealing the true identity of the monster or ghost; usually, a crotchety older person exploiting a local legend to cover up a crime. Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! quickly took off, and after just a couple of years, Hanna-Barbera would need to grow the franchise to satisfy audiences who couldn't get enough of Scooby-Doo and the gang.

The next Scooby-Doo show to follow the original was The Scooby-Doo Movies. This wasn't a series of movies but rather a show of hour-long episodes that came after Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! These episodes had a guest star slot and would feature familiar heroes like Batman and Robin, along with The Harlem Globetrotters and many others. For this particular incarnation of the franchise, it's the guest stars that make the shows memorable as the format is largely the same as the original, but the Scooby Gang solves mysteries alongside very famous (cartoon-drawn) faces. The Scooby-Doo Movies was another hit and would run until 1974. After that, reruns of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! would air until the franchise moved from CBS to ABC in 1976.

After the hiatus that began in 1991, Scooby-Doo returned to the small screen and continued as one of the longest-running cartoon series with a new series appropriately named What's New Scooby-Doo? This series went in a completely different direction from its predecessor with modern and more realistic changes to Scooby-Doo and the gang. Gone were the goofy cartoonish Hanna-Barbera sound effects of the past, including the laugh track. At the same time, however, this series returned to its roots with the gang encountering villains in disguises and costumes rather than real monsters and ghosts.

Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? is like a modern re-imagining of the classic Saturday morning cartoon. Celebrities and famous characters appear in many episodes, reminiscent of the old Scooby-Doo Movies hour, and this series leans heavily into the license's comedy roots. Even after more than five decades, Scooby-Doo is still going strong, and Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? serves as a testament to the property's timeless appeal. It featured modern pop culture icons in guest roles like Mark Hamill, Halsey, and Kenan Thompson.

Mindy Kaling has brought a new and controversial take on the Scooby-Doo franchise with Velma. Unlike other versions, this animated series put the title character in the spotlight with the others serving as supporting characters in her Scooby adventure. The likes of Fred and Shaggy have also been given more modern updates which make them far less likable. Kaling is also joined by a talented supporting cast in Velma, including Constance Wu, Glenn Howerton, and Sam Richardson. While the more adult take on the mystery cartoon is an interesting idea, it has clearly not sat well with everyone. It's the worst reviewed of the franchise, but that didn't stop Max from renewing it for a second season. ff782bc1db
