![]() ![]() 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. Also successful were the musical numbers The Archies performed during each program (one of which, " Sugar, Sugar", was the most successful Billboard number-one hit of 1969). The result was The Archie Show from Filmation, based on Bob Montana's teenage humor comic book Archie. 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.įred Silverman, executive for daytime programming at CBS, was then looking for a show that would both revitalize his Saturday-morning line and please the watch groups. ![]() Most of these shows were Hanna-Barbera action cartoons such as 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. In 1968, parent-run organizations, particularly Action for Children's Television (ACT), began protesting what they perceived as excessive violence in Saturday-morning cartoons. In 2013, TV Guide ranked Scooby-Doo the fifth-greatest TV cartoon of all time. The most recent Scooby-Doo series, Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?, premiered on June 27, 2019, as an original series on Boomerang's streaming service and later HBO Max. Repeats of the various Scooby-Doo series are frequently broadcast on Cartoon Network's sister channel Boomerang in the United States and other countries. Further reboots were produced for Cartoon Network beginning in 2010 and continuing through 2018. Two Scooby-Doo reboots aired as part of Kids' WB on The WB and its successor The CW from 2002 until 2008. ABC aired various versions of Scooby-Doo until canceling it in 1985, and presented a spin-off featuring the characters as children called A Pup Named Scooby-Doo from 1988 until 1991. Scooby-Doo was originally broadcast on CBS from 1969 to 1976, when it moved to ABC. This Saturday-morning cartoon series featured teenagers Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, and Shaggy Rogers, and their talking Great Dane named Scooby-Doo, who solve mysteries involving supposedly supernatural creatures through a series of antics and missteps. Writers Joe Ruby and Ken Spears created the original series, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, for Hanna-Barbera Productions. However, this series also features "facts" that contradict "facts" from the main series (such as Shaggy's sibling(s)) so I think this can be ignored.Scooby-Doo is an American media franchise based on an animated television series launched in 1969 and continued through several derivative media. Of course, A Pup Named Scooby-Doo seems to show the gang as all being the same age (or at least in the same school year). This is stated in a book I have at home (which may be the DK guide, or one of the Scholistic storybooks) Velma is actually a gifted student and from a year below Daphne. 17.ĭaphne - well nothing is known of her age (that I'm aware of), so I assume she is from the same school year. I therefore presume that he is the same school year and age too. ![]() While Freddie was the Football captain at school, Shaggy was the school's gymnastics champion (yes, Shaggy is a sports man!). I don't have the materials to hand right now, but I'm pretty sure that:įreddie is 17 (from the original "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?" series, presumably being a cartoon character he still is - see final notes) Oh, A Scooby-Doo question!
