==History==

===Hanna-Barbera===
====Precursors====
Though Scrappy officially debuted in the fall of 1979, there may have been hints of his existence in 1969, 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.<ref>{{cite web |author=John Latchem |url=http://www.homemediamagazine.com/news/html/breaking_article.cfm?article_id=11404 |title=Scooby-Doo Still Going Strong on DVD |archive-date=February 1, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080201055716/http://www.homemediamagazine.com/news/html/breaking_article.cfm?article_id=11404 |quote=Joe Ruby and Ken Spears admit that one of their first ideas for a sidekick was a ‘small feisty dog’ but ultimately preferred Scooby's design.}}</ref>

After hearing Joe Barbera's description of the character, writer [[Mark Evanier]] was significantly reminded of the ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' character [[Henery Hawk]], and incorporated what he knew of said character into the script.<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|first=Mark|last=Evanier|author-link=Mark Evanier|publisher=Newsfromme.com|access-date=September 2, 2013}}</ref>

====Development====
Scrappy's creation officially began in 1978, when Scooby-Doo's ratings were sinking to the point of cancellation threats from [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]].<ref name="ScrappyDays"/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cbr.com/can-dcs-scooby-apocalypse-redeem-scrappy-doo/|title=Can DC's Scooby Apocalypse Redeem Scrappy-Doo?|website=[[Comic Book Resources]]|access-date=December 4, 2016|date=October 22, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=APNSD!

Duane Poole, a story editor for the first series in which Scrappy appeared, recalled it as a lively time, with many new ideas and some new blood being hired with the desperation to revive Scooby-Doo, which had been a cash-cow in its glory days.<ref>{{cite web |title=APNSD! Episode 17: Interview with Duane Poole |url=https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/for-your-consideration-2/a-podcast-named-scoobydoo/e/54305273 |website=Stitcher |quote=[see time signature 10:55]}}</ref>

[[Mel Blanc]] was the first choice to voice Scrappy, given his connection to Henery Hawk, but wanted too much money to voice the part.<ref name="ScrappyDays"/> [[Frank Welker]], the voice of [[Fred Jones (Scooby-Doo)|Fred Jones]], auditioned to voice Scrappy as a [[dual role]] during the character's development (one of several voice actors considered for the role) and coined the [[catchphrase]] "Puppy Power" during his audition.<ref name="ScrappyDays"/> He would later change this to "Monkey Muscle" for the similar [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] character he would voice for TV's ''[[Saturday Supercade]]''. The next choice was Messick, who was seen as giving the best audition, but still deemed "the wrong voice".<ref name="ScrappyDays"/> Afterwards, other well-known cartoon voice artists were considered or suggested: [[Daws Butler]], [[Paul Winchell]], [[Marilyn Schreffler]], [[Howard Morris]], [[Dick Beals]] and [[Marshall Efron]].<ref name="ScrappyDays"/> Ultimately, [[Lennie Weinrib]] was chosen.

===Warner Bros.===
==== Live-action ''Scooby-Doo'' movie (2002) ====
Scrappy was first included in an early draft of what would become ''[[Scooby-Doo (film)|Scooby-Doo]]'' (2002) in around March 2000—though he did not physically appear, was only mentioned offhand by Shaggy and Scooby, and was heavily implied to have been [[Euthanasia|put to sleep]] (for undisclosed reasons). [[James Gunn]] first acknowledged his involvement in April 2000.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://mjsimpson-films.blogspot.com/2013/08/interview-james-gunn.html |title=Cult films and the people who make them: Interview: James Gunn |website=Mjsimpson-films.blogspot.com |date=August 22, 2013}}</ref> Other original ideas for the villain included the Old Man Smithers, the villain from the beginning of the film. Concept art for Scrappy turning into a monster was drawn in 2001.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.patrickawa.net/2007/10/old-bad-dogs.html |title=Old Bad Dogs |access-date=February 13, 2021 |archive-date=February 22, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210222042637/http://www.patrickawa.net/2007/10/old-bad-dogs.html |url-status=dead}}</ref> According to the DVD commentary, choosing the villain of the movie was a problematic part of the production, as the makers did not feel comfortable simply giving the role to an "anonymous monster", and that the ending was in "bits and pieces" and the "confinements forced them to be creative." "There is a Scrappy because he exists in the cartoon, so we have to acknowledge him", Gunn stated in an interview shortly before the film's release.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://archive.org/stream/starlog_magazine-300JPG/300#page/n82/mode/1up/search/forever |title=Starlog Magazine 300 |website=Archive.org |access-date=December 16, 2016 |date=July 2002}}</ref>

Ultimately, in the final film, Scrappy is revealed to be the villain, in an attempt to get revenge on Mystery Inc. after they kicked him out. Despite previously stating that he felt that "kids didn't care",<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.cbn.com/entertainment/screen/scooby-doo.aspx?mobile=false&u=1 |title=Scooby-Doo, Who Are You? |website=Cbn.com}}</ref> Gunn later admitted with some dismay that younger viewers had reacted poorly to the development, admitting he had not understood how popular Scrappy was with five- and six-year-olds.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://www.wired.co.uk/article/guardians-interview-james-gunn |title=How James Gunn brought Guardians of the Galaxy to the big screen |magazine=Wired UK |date=July 29, 2014}}</ref> "I still think it was funny that Scrappy was the villain", he explained in an interview with Cinefantastique, "but there are kids out there who were really upset."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ly0nAQAAIAAJ&q=Scrappy |title=Cinefantastique |year=2004}}</ref>

==Reception==
Scrappy was initially seen as a "good idea" by ''Saturday Morning Review''.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Mariani |first=John |title=Publication |journal=The Saturday Review |date=November 24, 1979 |pages=24–48}}</ref> Viewership seemed to react positively to Scrappy, as Scooby's ratings went up with Scrappy's arrival.

Before you had to get Shaggy and Scooby into dangerous situations—and there was no real easy way to get them there—with Scrappy, he, uh, picked them up and carried them there. He just charged in. He was just such the antithesis of what Scooby and Shaggy were. The dynamic was great fun to play."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/for-your-consideration-2/a-podcast-named-scoobydoo/e/54305273?autoplay=true |title=Interview with Duane Poole (Part Two) |quote=Time stamp 20:20}}</ref>

Joe Ruby and Ken Spears<ref name="auto">{{cite web |url=https://www.newsfromme.com/writings/scrappy-days/ |title=News from ME – Mark Evanier's blog |website=Newsfromme.com}}</ref> seemed to have a less-than-positive view of the character. The co-founder of Ruby-Spears enterprises said, "Everyone was upset", though was unclear about whether this concerned business reasons (they had started their own company two years earlier) or personal creative reasons (considering that if Scooby had been canceled, then the last slot would have hit their show instead),<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.homemediamagazine.com/news/html/breaking_article.cfm?article_id=11404|title=Home Media Magazine – Bringing Digital Entertainment To You|date=February 1, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080201055716/http://www.homemediamagazine.com/news/html/breaking_article.cfm?article_id=11404|archive-date=February 1, 2008}}</ref> starting when, in 1979, it appeared that a pilot of theirs would be renewed over Scooby's. Mark Evanier, who wrote said pilot, was hired impromptu to write Scrappy-Doo into a new pilot to renew interest in Scooby. As a result, Scooby was renewed over theirs, which was upsetting for them.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://scoobyaddicts.com/Interviews.aspx?id=1&name=Joe%20Ruby%20and%20Ken%20Spears |title=Joe Ruby and Ken Spears |website=Scoobyaddicts.com}}</ref> "Scrappy would charge in and solve things, so he was useful, in that way.

Howell, a writer who originally joined the franchise back on ''The New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show'' and continued to work on various iterations of the show until finally ending his tenure in the late 1980s after penning the pilot episode for ''[[A Pup Named Scooby-Doo]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://scoobydoocast.com/podcast/category/apnsd-podcast-episode-20-interview-with-charles-m-howell-part-one%7B%7Brp%7Cp-cast+summary%7D%7D|title=A Podcast Named Scooby-Doo!|website=scoobydoocast.com|access-date=November 29, 2020}}</ref>

Tom Ruegger stated: "It's a lot easier to love Scooby than it is to love Scrappy. But I don't have the problem with Scrappy that I have heard expressed by others. I suspect this is because I wasn't watching Scooby from the beginning, but rather, I came in and started catching up quite a while (a couple of years) after Scrappy had made his debut. Hey, they'd been messing with Scooby's cast for years! Scooby Dum. All those nasty celebrity cameo Scooby movies. I dislike those things more than I dislike Scrappy. And, for what it's worth, at least Scrappy brings some energy to the table. He actually does have a personality, even though many find it obnoxious. [...] So, since I tend to love the characters with whom I work, I can say that I learned to love Scrappy, despite all his limitations."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.platypuscomix.net/people/ruegger2.html |title=Tom Ruegger is back! |website=Platypuscomix.net}}</ref> Casper Kelly, one of the writers of ''[[The Scooby-Doo Project]]'' also admitted to having Scrappy as being in his first memory of Scooby, as well as enjoying when the monsters were real over the traditional fake monster format.<ref name="auto3"/><ref>{{cite web |title=APNSD!
