Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Scooby-Doo franchise has been revived and reinterpreted many times across more than 50 years to varying levels of success. The original series first aired in 1969 and followed the adventures of the mystery-solving talking mutt Scooby-Doo along with the rest of the Mystery Incorporated gang Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, and Shaggy Rogers.
The segments sometimes aired as part of The Richie Rich/Scooby-Doo Show and The Scooby & Scrappy-Doo/Puppy Hour and, unfortunately, will be of little interest to anybody except the most devoted Scooby-Doo fans. With Scrappy gaining an unreasonable amount of series screen time, the annoying pup nephew of Scooby can be a lot to take, even in just seven-minute bursts.
While today Scrappy is one of the most hated characters in kids' shows, he helped revitalize the Scooby-Doo franchise when its audience figures were faltering, and the controversial character has continued to appear in subsequent series. The audience appreciated his introduction, but once the popularity of Scooby was established again, Scrappy seemed to get in the way more than anything else.
10 The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries The series lacked the entire Mystery Inc. gang for much of its run The sixth incarnation of the franchise, The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries featured a core cast of Scooby, Scrappy, Shaggy, and the return of Daphne, who was absent from the previous series. This show, which was titled The New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show in its earliest episodes, was a return to more supernatural-based mysteries but was held back by the absence of the entire Mystery Inc. gang.
Related Dark Scooby-Doo Theory Turns Mystery Inc. Into The Real Villains A theory gives a sinister turn to the Mystery Inc. gang and makes this mystery-solving team the real villains of the Scooby-Doo franchise. The New Scooby-Doo Movies has a campy 1970s feel, less focus on horror than the previous show, and celebrity guest stars that are often completely irrelevant in today’s world, but despite this, it remains a lot of fun. It's the first show to demonstrate that Scooby-Doo really had staying power and could incorporate other elements of pop culture into its campy stories.
The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo added something unique to the world of Scooby-Doo and was one of the spookiest of all the series. Interestingly, Daphne got to have a new design change for a little while thanks to this series, though everyone else largely stayed the same. The show ended with a cliffhanger as the last ghost was not captured, but this was finally resolved after a hopping 35 years later in the follow-up film Scooby-Doo! and the Curse of the 13th Ghost in 2019.
