The history of Scooby Doo can be traced all the way back to the Beatles and their first appearance on the Ed Sullivan show but Scooby went through a bunch of versions, dodging angry parents groups in the face of civil rights protests.

    In Charleston (SC), reruns of Scooby-Doo was syndicated on Weekday mornings on the local Fox affiliate WTAT-TV 24 in the late 80's. And then did a few years later, but only for a year when it was aired Weekday mornings on WCTP Channel 36 Cable 13 (when it used to be branded as ā€œTV-36ā€) an independent station during the time, when the channel became the WB in the mid 1990s (ā€˜94-ā€˜95).

    Hanna-Barbera is pretty much my childhood. Scooby Doo, Speed Buggy, Hong Kong Phooey, Josie and the Pussycats, The Wacky Races, The Funky Phantom, I spent countless hours being entertained by them all. And consuming enough sugar based cereal to fill a Great Lakes freighter. Good times.

    I remember having 45 records and one 33 record. As a blind dude, this was great. Plus, we didn't have a tv for a long time. Voiced by the original cast, I didin't feel like I was loozing out.

    The contemporary inspirations are cool to know, but I was most surprised by how much the concept stemmed from restrictions, and how they still managed to find an interesting core theme from those restrictions- the threats were not supernatural because the supernatural was almost always a grift. So what on it's face sounds like it would've made for far duller television, ended up a blessing in disguise.

    Right at the top of a 19 minute video, sitting through two and a half minutes of ads and listening to yourself talk about what you're going to talk about, and what you're not going to talk about, is not the format i was looking for.

    I heard the original concept was a van full of Deadhead stoners following the Grateful Dead from venue to venue and they stumbled into mysteries.

    I have a Scooby record, I think dated 1972. It's an adventure, but with songs added. The first song is called Mystery Incorporated, and I remember being a bit disappointed none of the official themes were on it. Even worse was the voices were all wrong. Scooby sounded really dopey, and Shaggy like a character from Deliverance. Anyway, great video, and thanks for not mentioning Scrappy Doo šŸ˜…

    14:24 Another pop culture representation of the bedsheets ghost, the most iconic Halloween costume!

    In 2022, I was Charlie Brown's "Holy Ghost" for Halloween!
    Next year I am going to do a Ghost Halloween October Movie Schedule with Ghosts and Halloween tv specials as the theme…the "Holy Ghost" is going to be the mascot for it!

    x I have watched every episode of the original run of Scooby-Doo: Where Are You?

    x Scooby-Doo was the first animated tv series I ever watched!

    I had figured out as a kid that Shaggy was based on Maynard G. Krebs when late 80s/early 90s Nick at Nite would rerun The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, but it's only now that I can see Velma was based on Zelda!
