Scooby-dooby-doo, where are you?
We've got some work to do now.
Scooby-dooby doo, where are you?
We need some help from you now!
When Scooby-Doo came onto the screen, produced by Hanna-Barbera, in 1969, I doubt that anyone saw what it would become. With only TWO seasons of the original series, consisting of 25 episodes, the question became "How in the world did a show that only lasted two seasons become a phenomena that has lasted to today"(since 1998, there has been a Scooby-Doo movie released everywhere with the newest planned for this year)?
Well, I can't really say for sure why it has become what it has. After all, Huckleberry Hound or the Magilla Gorilla Show are not really common anymore. Part of it might be the brand's name though. Yogi Bear, The Flinstones, and The Smurfs are all shows that came from the Hanna-Barbera company. Even then, I think we can safely say that none of them have been as illustrious (which by the way, the new Yogi Bear and new Smurf movie... gross).
It may be the nonviolent aspect of Scooby-Doo. Parents don't mind showing this show to their children because nothing bad really ever happens. It may be that there is a formula. Kids can follow the formula easily. BUT it might be that the mystery aspect. It is always fun to try to guess whodunnit, especially when you have such goofy and fun characters.
So I guess all that is left is, "I would have gotten away with it to if it weren't for you meddling kids"
