Scooby-Doo We Love You!

Our April Reader’s Poll overwhelmingly picked Scooby-Doo as their favorite Classic Saturday morning cartoon. This Hanna-Barbera animated series debued in 1969 and has run continuously in various forms ever since. The show features a talking dog named Scooby-Doo and four teenagers: Fred "Freddie" Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, and Norville "Shaggy" Rogers. These five characters drive around the world in a van called the "Mystery Machine", and solve mysteries typically involving tales of ghosts and other supernatural forces. At the end of each episode, the supernatural forces turn out to have a rational explanation, typically criminal plots involving costumes, latex masks and special effects intended to frighten or distract.
