'''''Scooby-Doo''''' is an American [[media franchise]] owned by [[Warner Bros.|Warner Bros. Entertainment]] and created in 1969 by writers [[Joe Ruby]] and [[Ken Spears]] through their [[animated series]], ''[[Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!]]'', for [[Hanna-Barbera]] (which was absorbed into [[Warner Bros. Animation]] in 2001). The series features four teenagers: [[Fred Jones (Scooby-Doo)|Fred Jones]], [[Daphne Blake]], [[Velma Dinkley]], and [[Shaggy Rogers]], and their talking [[Great Dane]] named [[Scooby-Doo (character)|Scooby-Doo]], who solve mysteries involving supposedly supernatural creatures through a series of antics and missteps, while traveling using a brightly colored van called the "Mystery Machine".<ref name="ReferenceA">CD liner notes: Saturday Mornings: Cartoons' Greatest Hits, 1995 MCA Records 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 variations on the shows.</ref> The franchise has several live-action films and shows.

''Scooby-Doo'' was originally broadcast on [[CBS]] from 1969 to 1976, when it moved to [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]. ABC aired various versions of ''Scooby-Doo'' until canceling it in 1986, and presented a [[Spin-off (media)|spin-off]] featuring the characters as children called ''[[A Pup Named Scooby-Doo]]'' from 1988 until 1991. Two ''Scooby-Doo'' reboots aired as part of [[Kids' WB]] on [[The WB]] and its successor [[The CW]] from 2002 until 2008. Further reboots were produced for [[Cartoon Network]] beginning in 2010 and continuing through 2018. Repeats of the various ''Scooby-Doo'' series are frequently broadcast on Cartoon Network's sister channel [[Boomerang (TV network)|Boomerang]] in the United States and other countries. The most recent ''Scooby-Doo'' series, ''[[Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?]]'', premiered on June 27, 2019, as an original series on [[Boomerang (TV network)#Availability on subscription television|Boomerang's streaming service]] and later [[Max (streaming service)|HBO Max]].

In 2013, ''[[TV Guide]]'' ranked ''Scooby-Doo'' the fifth-greatest TV cartoon of all time.<ref>{{cite web |title=TV Guide magazine's 60 greatest cartoons of all time |url=https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/tv-guide-magazines-60-greatest-cartoons-of-all-time |website=Fox News |date=March 25, 2015 |access-date=7 March 2021 |archive-date=March 25, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190325073411/https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/tv-guide-magazines-60-greatest-cartoons-of-all-time |url-status=live}}</ref>

== Development ==
In 1968, [[consumer organization|parent-run organizations]], particularly [[Action for Children's Television]] (ACT), began protesting what they perceived as excessive violence in Saturday-morning cartoons.<ref>{{cite web |first=William |last=Richter |title=Action for Children's Television |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20021016074041/http://www.museum.tv/archives/etv/A/htmlA/actionforch/actionforch.htm |archive-date=October 16, 2002 |url=http://www.museum.tv/archives/etv/A/htmlA/actionforch/actionforch.htm |website=museum.tv |publisher=Museum of Broadcast Communications |access-date=June 9, 2006}}</ref> Most of these shows were [[Hanna-Barbera]] action cartoons such as ''[[Space Ghost (TV series)|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.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Hollis |first1=Tim |title=Hi there, boys and girls!: America's local children's TV shows |date=2001 |publisher=University Press of Mississippi |location=Jackson |isbn=1-57806-396-5 |page=20}}</ref> 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.

[[Fred Silverman]], an executive for [[Daytime television in the United States|daytime programming]] at [[CBS]], was then looking for a show that would both revitalize his Saturday-morning line and please the watch groups. The result was ''[[The Archie Show]]'' from [[Filmation]], based on [[Bob Montana]]'s teenage humor comic book ''[[Archie (comic book)|Archie]]''. Also successful were the musical numbers [[The Archies]] performed during each program (one of which, "[[Sugar, Sugar]]", was the most successful ''[[Billboard magazine|Billboard]]'' [[Billboard Hot 100|number-one hit]] of 1969). Eager to build upon this success, Silverman contacted producers [[William Hanna]] and [[Joseph Barbera]] about creating another show based on a teenage rock group, this time featuring teens who solved mysteries between gigs. Silverman envisioned the show as a cross between the popular ''[[I Love a Mystery]]'' [[old-time radio|radio]] [[radio drama|serials]] of the 1940s and the Archie characters or the popular early 1960s television series ''[[The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis]]''.<ref>Laurence Marcus & Stephen R. Hulce (October 2000). "[http://www.televisionheaven.co.uk/scooby.htm Scooby Doo, Where Are You] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130128110448/http://www.televisionheaven.co.uk/scooby.htm |date=January 28, 2013}}".

After attempting to develop his version of the show, called ''House of Mystery'',<ref name="STUEP1" /> Barbera, who developed and sold Hanna-Barbera shows while Hanna produced them,<ref name="STUEP1" /> passed the task along to story writers [[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 drum|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, [[zombie]]s, 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.<ref name="STUEP1" /> When the former was chosen, Ruby and Spears wrote Too Much as a [[Great Dane]] but revised the dog character to a large [[Old English Sheepdog|sheepdog]] (similar to the Archies' sheepdog, [[Hot Dog (comics)|Hot Dog]]) just before their presentation to Silverman, as Ruby feared the character would be too similar to the comic strip character [[Marmaduke]].<ref name="STUEP1" /> 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.<ref name="STUEP1">Shostak, Stu (February 5, 2012). "[http://www.stusshow.com/archives.php Interview with Joe Ruby and Ken Spears] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190404053345/http://www.stusshow.com/archives.php |date=April 4, 2019}}".

During the design phase, lead character designer Takamoto consulted a studio colleague who was a [[dog breeding|breeder]] of Great Danes. After learning the characteristics of a prize-winning Great Dane from her, Takamoto proceeded to break most of the rules and designed Too Much with overly bowed legs, a [[double chin]], and a sloped back, among other abnormalities.<ref>{{cite web |last=Ignacio |first=Cynthia Quimpo |year=2002 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071003000331/http://www.yolk.com/v093/iwao1.html |url=http://www.yolk.com/v093/iwao1.html |title=Iwao Takamoto: Scooby-Doo and Iwao, Too |archive-date=October 3, 2007 |work=Yolk 2.0. |volume=9 |number=3 |location=Los Angeles |publisher=Informasian Media Group, Inc.}}</ref><ref>{{cite interview |year=2006 |first=Iwao |last=Takamoto |title=Eerie Mystery of Scooby-Doo and Dynomutt's History'' [documentary featurette]'' |work=[[The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour]]: The Complete Series |location=New York, Los Angeles |publisher=Warner Bros.

For instance, he had a good, strong straight back, so I sloped his back. A strong chin, so I under-swung his chin ... and I think straight hind legs she mentioned. So I bowed them ...}}</ref>

Ruby and Spears' second pass at the show used ''Dobie Gillis'' as the template for the teenagers rather than ''Archie''. The treatment retained the dog Too Much, while reducing the number of teenagers to four, removing the Mike character and retaining Geoff, Kelly, Linda, and W.W.<ref name="RubyAndSpears" /> As their personalities were modified, so were the characters' names: Geoff became "Ronnie"<ref>{{cite web |year=1969 |title=Original storyboards |work=Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! |location=Los Angeles |publisher=Hanna-Barbera Productions |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19990427022739/http://cartoonnetwork.com/doc/scooby/sdsb.html |url=http://cartoonnetwork.com/doc/scooby/sdsb.html |archive-date=April 27, 1999 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all}} The original storyboards for "What a Night for a Knight" identify the Fred character as "Ronnie".</ref>—later renamed "[[Fred Jones (Scooby-Doo)|Fred]]" (at Silverman's behest),<ref>{{cite interview |year=2006 |first=Ken |last=Spears |title=Eerie Mystery of Scooby-Doo and Dynomutt's History'' [documentary featurette]'' |work=[[The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour]]: The Complete Series |location=New York, Los Angeles |publisher=Warner Bros.

The revised show was re-pitched to Silverman, who liked the material but, disliking the title ''Mysteries Five'', decided to call the show ''Who's S-S-Scared?''<ref name="fsilvermanvideo" /> Silverman presented ''Who's S-S-Scared?'' to the CBS executives as the centerpiece for the upcoming 1969–70 season's Saturday-morning cartoon block. CBS president [[Frank Stanton (executive)|Frank Stanton]] felt that the presentation artwork was too scary for young viewers and, thinking the show would be the same, decided to pass on it.<ref name="RubyAndSpears" /><ref name="fsilvermanvideo">{{cite AV media |first=Dan |last=Pasternack |title=Interview with Fred Silverman |medium=Digital |publisher=[[Archive of American Television]] |year=2001 |url=http://www.emmytvlegends.org/interviews/people/fred-silverman}}</ref>

Now without a centerpiece for the upcoming season's programming, Silverman had Ruby, Spears, and the Hanna-Barbera staff revise the treatments and presentation materials to tone down the show and better reflect its comedy elements. The rock band element was dropped, and more attention was focused on Shaggy and Too Much. According to Ruby and Spears, Silverman was inspired by [[Frank Sinatra]]'s [[scat singing|scat]] "doo-be-doo-be-doo" at the end of his recording of "[[Strangers in the Night]]" on a [[red-eye flight]] to one of the development meetings, and decided to rename the dog "[[Scooby-Doo (character)|Scooby-Doo]]" and retitled the show ''[[Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!]]''<ref name="RubyAndSpears" /><ref>{{cite news |title=Fred Silverman, TV executive came up with 'Scooby-Doo,' and championed 'All in the Family,' has died |url=https://www.latimes.com/obituaries/story/2020-01-30/fred-silverman-all-in-the-family-dead |work=Los Angeles Times |date=30 January 2020 |access-date=April 12, 2020 |archive-date=April 12, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200412033428/https://www.latimes.com/obituaries/story/2020-01-30/fred-silverman-all-in-the-family-dead |url-status=live}}</ref> The revised show was re-presented to CBS executives, who approved it for production.

== CBS years (1969–76) ==
[[File:Scooby-doo-meddling-kids-1970.jpg|right|thumb|Every episode of the original ''Scooby-Doo'' format contains a penultimate scene in which the heroes unmask the seemingly supernatural antagonist to reveal a real person in a costume, as in this scene from "Nowhere to Hyde", an episode of ''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!'' originally aired on CBS on September 12, 1970.]]

=== ''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!'' ===
The first episode of ''[[Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!]]'' "What a Night for a Knight" debuted on the CBS network Saturday, September 13, 1969, at 10:30 AM Eastern Time. The original [[voice acting|voice cast]] featured [[Don Messick]] as Scooby-Doo, [[Casey Kasem]] as Shaggy, [[Frank Welker]] as Fred, actress [[Nicole Jaffe]] as Velma, and [[Indira Stefanianna]] as Daphne.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063950/fullcredits |title=Full cast and credits for ''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!'' |year=2008 |work=IMDb |access-date=July 21, 2018 |archive-date=April 8, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180408141406/http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063950/fullcredits |url-status=live}}</ref> Scooby's speech patterns closely resembled an earlier cartoon dog, [[Astro (The Jetsons)|Astro]] from ''[[The Jetsons]]'' (1962–63), also voiced by Messick.<ref name="ReferenceA" /> Seventeen episodes of ''Scooby-Doo Where Are You!'' were produced in 1969–70. The series theme song was written by David Mook and Ben Raleigh, and performed by Larry Marks.

Each of these episodes features Scooby and the four teenage members of Mystery, Inc.—[[Fred Jones (Scooby-Doo)|Fred]], [[Shaggy Rogers|Shaggy]], [[Daphne Blake|Daphne]], and [[Velma Dinkley|Velma]]—arriving at a location in the Mystery Machine, a van painted with [[psychedelic color]]s and [[flower power]] imagery. Encountering a purportedly supernatural monster terrorizing the local populace, such as a ghost, they decide to investigate. The kids split up to look for clues and suspects, while being chased at turns by the monster. Eventually, the kids come to realize the paranormal activity is actually an elaborate hoax, and—often with the help of a [[Rube Goldberg]]-like trap designed by Fred—they capture the [[creature suit]]-wearing villain and unmask him or her. Revealed usually as a flesh and blood crook who used the costume to cover up their crimes, the villain is arrested and taken to jail, often with the catchphrase "if it weren't for those pesky/meddling kids". A few times though, the "villain" turns out to be innocent, such as a haywire robot or the owner disguised to scare away thieves.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Webb |first1=Alex |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/2123112.stm |title=Three decades of 'those pesky kids' |work=BBC News |date=July 12, 2002 |access-date=April 4, 2020 |archive-date=October 14, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211014234452/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/2123112.stm |url-status=live}}</ref>

Scheduled opposite another teenage mystery-solving show, ABC's ''[[The Hardy Boys (1969 TV series)|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.<ref name="STUEP1" /><ref name="RubyAndSpears" /> 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 (singer)|Austin Roberts]],<ref>{{cite book |title=Europa International Who's Who in Popular Music |location=East Sussex, UK |publisher=Psychology Press |year=2002 |page=424}}</ref> 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 she continued to voice the character until 1997.<ref>Interview with Heather North and Nicole Jaffe.

Entertainment, Inc.</ref>

The TV influences of ''[[I Love a Mystery]]'' and ''[[The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis|Dobie Gillis]]'' were apparent in the first episode. Of the similarities between the ''Scooby-Doo'' teens and the ''Dobie Gillis'' teens, the similarities between Shaggy and Maynard are the most noticeable; both characters share the same [[beatnik]]-style [[goatee]], similar hairstyles, and demeanors.<ref name="STUEP1" /> The core premise of ''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!'' was also similar to [[Enid Blyton]]'s ''[[The Famous Five|Famous Five]]'' books. Both series featured four youths with a dog, and the Famous Five stories often revolved around a mystery which invariably turned out not to be supernaturally based, but simply a ruse to [[disguise]] the villain's true intent.

The role of each character was strongly defined in the series: Fred is the leader and the determined detective, Velma is the intelligent analyst, Daphne is danger-prone, Shaggy is a coward more motivated by hunger than any desire to solve mysteries, and Scooby is similar to Shaggy, save for a [[Bob Hope]]-inspired tendency towards temporary bravery.<ref name="RubyAndSpears" /> Later versions of the show made slight changes to the characters' established roles, such as showing the Daphne in 1990s and 2000s ''Scooby-Doo'' productions as knowing many forms of [[karate]] and having the ability to defend herself, and reducing her tendency towards being kidnapped.

''Scooby-Doo'' itself influenced many other Saturday-morning [[cartoon]]s of the 1970s. During that decade, Hanna-Barbera and its rivals produced several animated programs also featuring teenage detectives solving mysteries with a pet or mascot of some sort, including ''[[Josie and the Pussycats (TV series)|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), and ''[[Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels]]'' (1977–80).<ref name="Burke and Burke-p105-119">{{cite book |url=https://archive.org/details/saturdaymorningf00burk/page/105 |title=Saturday Morning Fever |last=Burke |first=Timothy |date=1999 |publisher=St. Martin's Griffin |isbn=0-312-16996-5 |edition=1st St. Martin's Griffin |location=New York |pages=[https://archive.org/details/saturdaymorningf00burk/page/105 105–119] |oclc=38832996 |url-access=registration}}</ref>

=== ''The New Scooby-Doo Movies'' ===
In the fall of 1972, new one-hour episodes under the title ''[[The New Scooby-Doo Movies]]'' were created; each episode featuring a real or fictitious guest star helping the gang solve mysteries, including characters from other Hanna-Barbera series such as ''[[Harlem Globetrotters (TV series)|Harlem Globetrotters]]'', ''[[Josie and the Pussycats (TV series)|Josie and the Pussycats]]'' and ''[[Speed Buggy]]'', the comic book characters [[Batman]] and [[Robin (comics)|Robin]] (adapted into their own Hanna-Barbera series, ''[[Super Friends]]'', a year later), and celebrities such as [[Sandy Duncan]], [[The Addams Family]], [[Cass Elliot]], [[Phyllis Diller]], [[Don Knotts]] and [[The Three Stooges]]. Hanna-Barbera musical director [[Hoyt Curtin]] composed a new theme song for this series, and Curtin's theme remained in use for much of ''Scooby-Doo's'' original broadcast run. After two seasons and 24 episodes of the ''New Movies'' format from 1972 to 1973, CBS began airing reruns of the original ''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!'' series until its option on the series expired in 1976.<ref name="STUEP1" />

== ABC years (1976–91) ==

=== ''The Scooby-Doo Show'' and ''Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics'' ===
Now president of [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]], Fred Silverman made a deal with Hanna-Barbera to bring new episodes of ''Scooby-Doo'' to the ABC Saturday-morning lineup, where the show went through almost yearly lineup changes. For their 1976–77 season, 16 new episodes of Scooby-Doo were joined with a new Hanna-Barbera show, ''[[Dynomutt, Dog Wonder]]'', to create ''[[The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour]]'' (the show became ''The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Show'' when a bonus ''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!'' rerun was added to the package in November 1976). Joe Ruby and Ken Spears, now working for Silverman as supervisors of the ABC Saturday-morning programs, returned the program to its original ''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!'' format, with the addition of Scooby's dim-witted country cousin [[Scooby-Dum]], voiced by [[Daws Butler]], as a recurring character.<ref name="STUEP1" /> The voice cast was held over from ''The New Scooby-Doo Movies'' save for Nicole Jaffe, who retired from acting in 1973. [[Pat Stevens]] took over her role as the voice of Velma.

Then Joe Ruby and Ken Spears left again to start their own studio in 1977 as competition for Hanna-Barbera.<ref>{{cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqDi77RnNAQ |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/HqDi77RnNAQ |archive-date=2021-12-11 |url-status=live |title=Ruby & Spears: WonderCon 2012 |via=YouTube}}{{cbignore}}</ref> They would remain away for the rest of the 1980s.

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 [[Summer Olympic Games|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'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.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Lenberg |first1=Jeff |year=2006 |title=The Encyclopedia of Animated Cartoons |location=New York |publisher=Facts of File |isbn=0-8160-6599-3 |pages=618–619}}</ref> The 40 total ''Scooby-Doo'' episodes produced from 1976 to 1978 were later packaged together for [[broadcast syndication|syndication]] as ''[[The Scooby-Doo Show]]'', under which title they continue to air.

=== ''Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo'' ===
The ''Scooby-Doo'' characters first appeared outside of their regular Saturday-morning format in ''[[Scooby Goes Hollywood]]'', an hour-long ABC [[television special]] aired in [[prime time]] on December 13, 1979. The special revolved around Shaggy and Scooby attempting to convince the network to move Scooby out of Saturday morning and into a prime-time series, and featured spoofs of then-current television series and films such as ''[[Happy Days]]'', ''[[Superman (1978 film)|Superman: The Movie]]'', ''[[Laverne & Shirley]]'' and ''[[Charlie's Angels]]''.

In 1979, Scooby's tiny nephew [[Scrappy-Doo]] was added to both the series and the billing, in an attempt to boost ''Scooby-Doo''{{'}}s slipping [[Nielsen ratings|ratings]].<ref name="ScrappyDays" /> The 1979–80 episodes, aired under the new title ''[[Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo (1979 TV series)|Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo]]'' as an independent half-hour show, succeeded in regenerating interest in the show. [[Lennie Weinrib]] voiced Scrappy in the 1979–80 episodes, with Don Messick assuming the role thereafter.<ref name="ScrappyDays">{{cite web |url=http://www.newsfromme.com/writings/scrappy-days/ |title=Scrappy Days: The Birth of Scrappy-Doo and What I Had to Do with It |first1=Mark |last1=Evanier |author-link=Mark Evanier |publisher=Newsfromme.com |access-date=September 2, 2013 |archive-date=October 21, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111021123024/http://www.newsfromme.com/archives/2007_03_16.html |url-status=live}}</ref> Marla Frumkin replaced Pat Stevens as the voice of Velma mid-season.

=== ''Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo'' shorts ===
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 [[Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo (1980 TV series)|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 (1980 TV series)|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 (genre)|Western]] deputy uncle Yabba-Doo, and ''[[The Puppy's New Adventures]]'', based on characters from a 1977 Ruby-Spears TV special. Despite the popularity, this was negatively hated by fans for how it dropped the mystery format and other main characters like Fred, Daphne, and Velma.

Beginning in 1980, a half-hour of reruns from previous incarnations of ''Scooby-Doo'' were broadcast on ABC Saturday mornings in addition to first-run episodes. Airing under the titles ''Scooby-Doo Classics'', ''[[Scary Scooby Funnies]]'', ''The Best of Scooby-Doo'', and ''[[Scooby's Mystery Funhouse]]'', the rerun package remained on the air until the end of the 1986 season.<ref name="McNeil3">{{cite book |last1=McNeil |first1=Alex |year=1996 |title=Total Television |edition=4th |page=732 |location=New York |publisher=Penguin Books |isbn=0-14-024916-8}}</ref>

=== ''The New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show'' ===
''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. Heather North returned to the voice cast as Daphne, who in this incarnation solved mysteries with Shaggy, Scooby, and Scrappy while working undercover as a reporter for a teen magazine.

This version of the show lasted for two seasons, with the second season airing under the title ''The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries''. The 1984–85 season episodes featured semi-regular appearances from Fred and Velma, with Frank Welker and Marla Frumkin resuming their respective roles for these episodes.

=== ''The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo'' ===
1985 saw the debut of ''[[The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo]]'', which featured Daphne, Shaggy, Scooby, Scrappy, and new characters Flim-Flam (voiced by [[Susan Blu]])<ref name="TRueggerInterview" /> and Vincent Van Ghoul (based upon and voiced by [[Vincent Price]]) traveling the globe to capture "thirteen of the most terrifying ghosts upon the face of the earth." The final first-run episode of ''The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo'' aired in December 1985, and after its reruns were removed from the ABC lineup the following March, no new ''Scooby'' series aired on the network for the next two years.

=== ''A Pup Named Scooby-Doo'' ===
In 1988, after ABC's initiative to shift its Saturday morning block toward preschoolers had spectacularly failed (in part, ABC alleged, due to the introduction of [[People meter|people meters]] that preschoolers were too young to operate), ABC launched an initiative to revive classic properties that older children and parents of younger children would recognize.<ref name="Honey">{{cite news |last=Winfrey |first=Lee |date=September 16, 1988 |title=ABC hoping Pooh can pull more than honey out a jar |url=http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1876&dat=19880916&id=CqgeAAAAIBAJ&pg=6729,251354 |work=[[Spartanburg Herald-Journal]] |publisher=[[Knight Ridder]] |page=A9 |via=Google News Archive}}</ref> 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.

''A Pup Named Scooby-Doo'' was developed and produced by [[Tom Ruegger]], who had been the head [[story editor]] on ''Scooby-Doo'' since 1983. Following the first season of ''A Pup Named Scooby-Doo'', Ruegger and much of his unit defected from Hanna-Barbera to [[Warner Bros. Animation]] to develop ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures|Steven Spielberg Presents Tiny Toon Adventures]]'' and later ''[[Animaniacs]]'', ''[[Pinky and the Brain]]'', and ''[[Freakazoid!]]''.<ref name="TRueggerInterview">{{cite web |url=http://www.platypuscomix.net/people/ruegger2.html |title=Tom Ruegger is back! |publisher=Platypuscomix.net |access-date=May 15, 2011 |archive-date=May 9, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130509134010/http://www.platypuscomix.net/people/ruegger2.html |url-status=live}}</ref>

== Kids' WB years (2002–08) ==

=== ''What's New, Scooby-Doo?'' ===
In 2002, following the successes of the Cartoon Network reruns, the direct to video franchise, and the first feature film, ''Scooby-Doo'' returned to Saturday morning for the first time in a decade with ''[[What's New, Scooby-Doo?]]'', which aired on [[Kids' WB]] from 2002 until 2006. Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, the show follows the format of the original series but places it in the 21st century, featuring a heavy promotion of modern technology (computers, DVD, the Internet, cell phones) and culture.

Beginning with this series, Frank Welker took over as Scooby's voice actor, while continuing to provide the voice of Fred as well. Casey Kasem returned as Shaggy, on the condition that the character be depicted as a vegetarian like Kasem himself.<ref name="KasemVegetarian">{{cite magazine |last=Fitzpatrick |first=Laura |date=July 7, 2009 |title=Radio Host Casey Kasem |url=http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1908941,00.html |url-status=dead |magazine=Time |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090709232421/http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1908941,00.html |archive-date=July 9, 2009 |access-date=October 30, 2017}}</ref> Grey DeLisle continued to voice Daphne, and former ''[[The Facts of Life (TV series)|Facts of Life]]'' star [[Mindy Cohn]] voiced Velma. The series was produced by [[Chuck Sheetz]], who had worked on ''[[The Simpsons]]''.

=== ''Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get a Clue!'' ===
In September 2006 a new show entitled, ''[[Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get a Clue!]]'', debuted on [[The CW]]'s Kids' WB Saturday-morning programming block. In the new premise, Shaggy inherits money and a [[mansion]] from an uncle, an inventor who has gone into hiding from villains trying to steal his secret invention. The villains, led by "Dr. Phibes" (based primarily upon [[Dr. Evil]] from the ''[[Austin Powers (film series)|Austin Powers]] ''series, and named after Vincent Price's character from ''[[The Abominable Dr. Phibes]]''), then use different schemes to try to get the invention from Shaggy and Scooby, who handle the plots alone. Fred, Daphne, and Velma are normally absent, but do make appearances at times to help. The characters were redesigned and the art style revised for the new series. [[Scott Menville]] voiced Shaggy in the series, with Casey Kasem appearing as the voice of Shaggy's Uncle Albert. ''Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get a Clue!'' ran for two seasons on The CW.

The series also borrowed pieces from many parts of ''Scooby-Doo's'' long history, as well as characters and elements of other Hanna-Barbera shows to form its back story and the bases of some of its episodes. Matthew Lillard was brought over from the live-action theatrical series as the new voice of Shaggy, while Welker, Cohn, and DeLisle continued in their respective roles. [[Patrick Warburton]], [[Linda Cardellini]], [[Lewis Black]], [[Vivica A. Fox]], [[Gary Cole]], [[Udo Kier]], [[Tim Matheson]], [[Tia Carrere]], and [[Kate Higgins]] were added as new semi-regular cast members. Casey Kasem appeared in a recurring role as Shaggy's father, one of his last roles before retiring due to declining health.

The series, while still following the basic mystery-solving format of its predecessors, was broadcast as a 52-chapter animated [[telenovela|televised novel]] and included elements similar to live-action mystery/adventure shows such as ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.avclub.com/scooby-doo-mystery-incorporated-through-the-curtai-1798176368 |title=Review: Scooby-Doo!: Mystery Incorporated – "Through the Curtain"/"Come Undone" |newspaper=[[The A.V.

Also featured were romantic entanglements and interpersonal conflict between the lead characters. The series ran for 52 episodes over two seasons, with a three-part finale airing across April 4 and 5, 2013—exactly three years from the debut.

== Film and rerun history ==

=== Television films, reruns, and direct-to-video films ===
From 1987 to 1988, Hanna-Barbera Productions produced ''[[Hanna-Barbera Superstars 10]]'', a series of [[broadcast syndication|syndicated]] [[television film]]s 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 films: ''[[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 television film ''[[Scooby-Doo in Arabian Nights|Arabian Nights]]'', originally broadcast by [[TBS (TV network)|TBS]] in 1994, [[Don Messick]]'s final outing as the original voice of Scooby-Doo.

Reruns of ''Scooby-Doo'' have been in [[broadcast syndication|syndication]] since 1980, and have also been shown on [[cable television]] networks such as [[TBS (TV network)|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 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 [[Turner Network Television|TNT]].<ref name="STUEP10">Shostak, Stu (December 3, 2014).

''Stu's Show.'' Retrieved October 7, 2014. [[Jerry Beck]] and host Stu Shostak discuss the early history of Cartoon Network and the Turner-run version of Hanna-Barbera when discussing the career for former CN executive Stu Snyder.</ref> [[Television in Canada|Canadian]] network [[TELETOON (Canada)|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 (TV network)|Boomerang]].

With ''Scooby-Doo's'' restored popularity in reruns on Cartoon Network,<ref name="STUEP10" /> [[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 film a year, beginning in 1998.<ref name="STUEP10" /> These films 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.<ref name="KasemVegetarian" /> Therefore, [[Scott Innes]] took over as both Scooby-Doo and Shaggy ([[Billy West]] voiced Shaggy in ''Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island''). [[B. J. Ward (actress)|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]].

These first four direct-to-video films differed from the original series format by placing the characters in plots with a darker tone and pitting them against actual supernatural forces. ''Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island'', featured the original 1969 gang, reunited after years of being apart, fighting [[Louisiana Voodoo|voodoo]]-worshiping cat creatures in the [[Louisiana]] bayou. ''Scooby-Doo! and the Witch's Ghost'' featured an author (voice of [[Tim Curry]]) returning to his [[Massachusetts]] hometown with the gang, to find out that an event is being haunted by the author's dead ancestor Sarah, who was an actual witch. ''The Witch's Ghost'' introduced a [[goth rock]] band known as The Hex Girls, who became recurring characters in the ''Scooby-Doo'' franchise.

''Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase'' was the final production made by the Hanna-Barbera studio, which was absorbed into parent company [[Warner Bros. Animation]] following William Hanna's death in 2001. Warner Animation continued production of the direct-to-video series while also producing new ''Scooby-Doo'' series for television.

The direct-to-video productions continued to be produced concurrently with at least one entry per year. Two of these entries, ''[[Scooby-Doo! and the Legend of the Vampire]]'' and ''[[Scooby-Doo! and the Monster of Mexico]]'' (both 2003) were produced in a retro-style reminiscent of the original series, and featured Heather North and Nicole Jaffe as the voices of Daphne and Velma, respectively. Later entries produced between 2004 and 2009 were done in the style of ''What's New, Scooby-Doo'', using that show's voice cast. Entries from 2010 on use the original 1969 designs and feature [[Matthew Lillard]] as the voice of Shaggy, the character Lillard portrayed in the live-action theatrical ''Scooby-Doo'' films. Two ''Scooby-Doo!'' movies were released in 2016, named ''[[Lego Scooby-Doo! Haunted Hollywood]]'' and ''[[Scooby-Doo! and WWE: Curse of the Speed Demon]]''.

=== ''Scooby-Doo!'' direct-to-video specials ===
Beginning in 2012, Warner Bros. Animation began producing direct-to-video special episodes in the style of the concurrently produced films for inclusion on ''Scooby-Doo'' compilation DVD sets otherwise including episodes from previous Scooby series. These include ''[[Scooby-Doo! Spooky Games]]'', included on the July 2012 release ''Scooby-Doo! Laff-A-Lympics: Spooky Games'',<ref>''Scooby-Doo! Laff-A-Lympics: Spooky Games''. 2012.

Several of these issues were written by [[Mark Evanier]] and drawn by [[Dan Spiegle]].<ref name="ScrappyDays" /><ref name="ScoobyComics">{{cite web |url=http://www.newsfromme.com/2010/08/17/another-story-you-wont-believe/ |title=Another Story You Won't Believe |first=Mark |last=Evanier |author-link=Mark Evanier |publisher=Newsfromme.com |date=August 17, 2010 |access-date=May 24, 2013 |archive-date=April 2, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402164357/http://www.newsfromme.com/2010/08/17/another-story-you-wont-believe/ |url-status=live}}</ref> [[Charlton Comics|Charlton]] published ''Scooby'' comics, many drawn by Bill Williams, for 11 issues in 1975.

In 2013, DC began a digital bi-monthly comic book titled ''Scooby-Doo Team-Up'', [[Crossover (fiction)|crossing over]] Mystery Inc. with other DC and Hanna-Barbera characters. Since then, the series has become a monthly comic book available in print.

In 2004, a limited series of a 100 comic books called ''Scooby-Doo! World of Mystery'' was released. In each issue, Mystery Inc. go from country to country solving mysteries. Each issue came with a pack of exclusive cards, with 350 in total able to be collected.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://thescoobysnackclub.wordpress.com/2016/04/13/top-ten-best-scooby-doo-world-of-mystery-magazines/ |title=Top Ten Best Scooby-Doo World of Mystery Magazines |date=April 13, 2016 |access-date=February 28, 2018 |archive-date=December 16, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171216201247/https://thescoobysnackclub.wordpress.com/2016/04/13/top-ten-best-scooby-doo-world-of-mystery-magazines/ |url-status=live}}</ref>

In 2016, DC launched a new monthly comic book entitled ''[[Scooby Apocalypse]]'', with the characters being reinvented in a story set in a [[post-apocalyptic world]], where monsters roam the streets and Scooby and the gang must find a way to survive at all costs, while also trying to find a way to reverse the apocalypse.

== Merchandising ==
Early ''Scooby-Doo'' merchandise included a 1973 [[Milton Bradley Company|Milton Bradley]] [[board game]], decorated [[lunch box]]es, iron-on transfers, [[coloring book]]s, story books, [[gramophone record|records]], underwear, and other such goods.<ref name="wingnuttoons">"[http://www.wingnuttoons.com/Scooby-Doo_Collection2.html Scooby-Doo according to Wingnut: My Collection] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130420175854/http://www.wingnuttoons.com/Scooby-Doo_Collection2.html |date=April 20, 2013}}". ''Wingnuttoons.com.''Retrieved on August 12, 2006. Contains an extensive illustrated list of ''Scooby-Doo''-related merchandise, from the 1970s to the present.</ref> When Scrappy-Doo was introduced to the series in 1979, he, Scooby, and Shaggy became the foci of much of the merchandising, including a 1983 Milton-Bradley ''Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo'' board game. The first ''Scooby-Doo'' video game appeared in [[arcade game|arcades]] in 1986, and has been followed by a number of games for both home consoles and personal computers. ''Scooby-Doo ''[[multivitamin]]s also debuted at this time, and have been manufactured by [[Bayer]] since 2001.

''Scooby-Doo'' merchandising tapered off during the late 1980s and early 1990s, but increased after the series' revival on Cartoon Network in 1995. Today, all manner of ''Scooby-Doo''-branded products are available for purchase, including ''Scooby-Doo'' [[breakfast cereal]], [[stuffed animal|plush toys]], [[action figure]]s, car decorations, [[Barbie]] dolls from [[Mattel]] and much more. Real "Scooby Snacks" [[dog food|dog treats]] are produced by Del Monte Pet Products. [[Hasbro]] has created a number of ''Scooby'' board games, including a ''Scooby''-themed edition of the popular mystery board game ''[[Cluedo|Clue]]''. In 2007, the [[Pressman Toy Corporation]] released the board game ''Scooby-Doo! Haunted House''. Beginning in 2001, a ''Scooby-Doo'' children's book series was authorized and published by [[Scholastic Corporation|Scholastic]]. These books, written by [[Suzanne Weyn]], include original stories and adaptations of ''Scooby'' theatrical and direct-to-video features.

From 1990 to 2002, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo appeared as characters in the ''[[The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera (ride)|Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera]]'' simulator ride at [[Universal Studios Florida]].<ref name="Stokes">Stokes, Trey (2007). "[https://archive.today/20080613151026/http://www.trudang.com/simulatr/hbsim.html The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera]". Retrieved on August 12, 2006. Article on the creation of the ride, written by one of its programmers.</ref> The ride was replaced in the early 2000s with a ''[[Jimmy Neutron]]'' attraction, and ''The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera'' instead became an attraction at several properties operated by [[Paramount Parks]]. Shaggy and Scooby-Doo are currently [[costumed character]]s at Universal Studios Florida, and can be seen driving the Mystery Machine around the park.

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 Mystery Machine has been used as the basis for many die-cast models and toys, such as from [[Hot Wheels]].

The brand made $800 million in retail sales in 1999.<ref>{{cite web |first=Sally |last=Beatty |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/114083392/daily-record/ |title=Scooby-Doo, where are you? is everywhere |newspaper=[[Daily Record (New Jersey)|Daily Record]] |page=49 |date=July 23, 2000 |access-date=December 4, 2022 |via=[[Newspapers.com]] |archive-date=December 4, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221204133257/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/114083392/daily-record/ |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |first=Sally |last=Beatty |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB961109708963115201?mod=article_inline |title=Scooby-Doo's Comeback Isn't a Mystery: Halloween Was the Marketing Gimmick |newspaper=[[The Wall Street Journal]] |url-access=subscription |date=June 16, 2000 |access-date=December 4, 2022 |archive-date=December 4, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221204133258/https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB961109708963115201?mod=article_inline |url-status=live}}</ref> In 2004, ''Scooby-Doo'' merchandise had generated {{US$|1 billion|long=no}} in retail sales<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20041208005286/en/Aloha-Scooby-Doo!-Latest-Original-Full-Length-Movie-Warner |title="Aloha Scooby-Doo!"

"Overall, [''Scooby-Doo'' is] just not a show that is going to overstimulate kids' emotions and tensions," offered American Center for Children and Media executive director David Kleeman in a 2002 interview.
