Dec 19, 2023 · Jinkies! Since the dawn of pop culture, the mystery genre has been filled with many inquisitive detectives. From Sherlock Holmes to Columbo, these great sleuths have solved many mysteries. However, none of them have had a career quite like Scooby-Doo. The animated Great Dane has been cracking cases (and running from ghosts) since his 1969 debut.

Creation and development
In 1968, Fred Silverman, executive in charge of children's programming for CBS, was looking for a show that would revitalize his Saturday morning line-up and also please parental watchdog groups. The result was The Archie Show, based upon Bob Montana's teenage humor comic book Archie. The musical numbers The Archies performed during each program were a success, with the song "Sugar, Sugar” becoming a mega-hit single in 1969. Silverman was eager to expand upon this success and contacted Hanna-...
The formula and characters of Scooby-Doo
Each character has a clearly established personality and function within the group: Fred is the leader and a determined detective, Velma is highly intelligent and analytical, Daphne can be observant but is danger-prone and vain, while best friends Shaggy and Scooby-Dooare cowardly, perpetually hungry, and motivated by food. These characteristics have largely stayed consistent throughout the entire franchise. Each character also has a recurring function that serves the plot. For example, Fred...
Hanna-Barbera's Scooby-Doo clones
Because of the Scooby-Doo formula's effectiveness, Hanna-Barbera repeatedly applied it to the development of new programming. By the time the second Scooby-Doo series aired in 1972, the studio had already produced other shows using the formula, including Josie and the Pussycats (1970), which resurrected the idea of rock band crime-fighters, and The Funky Phantom(1971), which featured a mystery solving team of three teens, a real ghost, and his ghostly cat. It is not uncommon to find elements...
Constant variation: the ABC years
CBS broadcast Sooby-Doo reruns through the 1974–75 season, but a major change was in the works: Fred Silverman, who helped bring Scooby-Doo to television, was hired to be the President of ABC Entertainment in 1975. Contacting Hanna-Barbera early on in his tenure, he arranged for new Scooby-Doo episodes to begin airing on the network in 1976. During its time airing on ABC, Scooby-Doowent through numerous format changes and had several new characters introduced.
Transitions: Taft and Turner
Hanna-Barbera's parent company, Taft Broadcasting, had faced a variety of financial challenges in the late 1980s as they contended with changes in television markets and increasing competition. After changing hands in 1987, Taft was renamed Great American Broadcasting but was unable to turn things around. To make matters worse for Hanna-Barbera, valuable personnel, such as A Pup Named Scooby-Doo creator Tom Ruegger, were being hired away by Warner Bros.to fuel production of their now-legendar...
Scooby's revival at Warner Bros.
In 1997, Turner merged with Time Warner, bringing both Hanna-Barbera and the rapidly growing Cartoon Network under the umbrella of Warner Bros. Hanna-Barbera personnel moved into Warner Bros. Animation's department and the long used Hanna-Barbera studio on Cahuenga Blvd. in Los Angeles was left empty (the Los Angeles City Council would later approve a plan to preserve it). Warner Bros. has owned Scooby-Doo, along with the back catalog of Hanna-Barbera and Ruby-Spears, since the merger with Tu...
Critical reaction and awards
While a successful series during its three separate tenures on Saturday morning, Scooby-Doo won no awards for artistic merit during its original series runs. The series has received only two Emmy nominations in its four-decade history: a 1989 Daytime Emmy nomination for A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, and a 2003 Daytime Emmy nomination for What's New, Scooby-Doo's Mindy Cohn in the "Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program" category. Like many Hanna-Barbera shows, Scooby-Doo was criticized for po...
Overview and history
Like any major franchise, merchandising and promotion is an important component of the Scooby-Doo universe. Promotions and merchandising often follow the ups, downs, and trends of Scooby production. A new series means a new slate of tie-in merchandise; a popular character means an increase in merchandise for that character. For example, Scrappy-Doowas featured as prominently on products as he was on television in the mid to late 1980s, but largely disappeared from the store shelves just as he...
Home video releases and streaming
Scooby-Doo series have been consistently released on various home media formats for several decades. VHS releases generally consisted of episode compilations, while DVD and Blu-ray releases have included both episode compilations and complete seasons and series. TV series and movies have also been offered on Boomerang's streaming service, as well as HBO Max. Despite the constant releases and content availability, not every Scooby episode has been made available to consumers in recent years. S...
Games
1. Main article(s): List of games Numerous board games, video games, and online games have been created around Scooby-Doo, with the first board games dating to the early days of its original run on CBS. Many are merely “Scooby-Doo Editions” of well known games like Monopoly and Clue, but numerous releases have been created with original gameplay design. However, board games are dwarfed by the number of video and computer games. Scooby began appearing in arcades and consoles in the 1980s and b...
