Growing up with Scooby and the Gang every Saturday morning was one of the simple joys of youth. Now that Scooby has soooo many series and movies and live action movies it is time to ask the question: Which Doo do you do?!?Choose 3 and a brief explanation please.
#1 for me is of course the original and classic Scooby Doo, Where are you! Such a great show that set up the tone and standard which has helped Scooby and the Gang endure for nearly 50 years now! The intro and music tells you immediately what you are tuning into. The chase/tunes inside the cartoon where all so fun and funny. The whole idea that the "monsters" are not really monsters but villains held up for a very long time and the catch phrase "and I would have gotten away with it if not for you pesky kids" is likely a part of everyone's genetic memory now.
#2 is What's New Scooby Doo? from the Fox Kids era. This show is a superb update of the original and a truly wonderful sister-act and feels like a true continuation from the original Where are you. Some really creative and inventive monsters for the new generation of kids which all hearken back to the classic.
#3 is Scooby Doo! Mystery Incorporated. Really neat twist from the original concept and a spectacular kind of "prequel" of all that is fantastic about Doo. Not to mention some insanely great writing along with some wild dream episodes incorporating other HB mystery shows/characters.
Special mention too for all of the straight to DVD cartoon movies which helped keep Scooby Doo alive for so many years until new series came along. A touch of love for 13 Ghosts and I always enjoyed the hour long Saturday New Scooby Doo Movies with guest stars and the LAff-A-Alympics were silly mindless fun.
So munch a box of Scooby Snacks or create your own colossal Shaggy sub-sandwich and gulp down a big frosty milk shake while enjoying some favorite Doo shows. You are guaranteed to find something great & fun to watch! Sooooooby Dooooooby Roooooooooooooooooooooo!
